If the chimpanzee wasn't shot then the theory would have a 1/2 a chance of standing...but...you still have #1 to contend with in relation to the POTUS who signed the bill.

Yeah, I don't think so. I think it's a random monkeys typing PLUS deranged chimp attack this week rather than any attempt at an Obama/Monkey connection.
Are you basically saying that you don't think anyone can make any monkey-based jokes for the next four years despite all the Chimpy McHitler references about Bush?
I don't think I've ever made a monkey joke about the presidency so it won't really be a hardship for me. I just think you might be making more a sweeping condemnation than makes sense.
ETA: Maybe I went astray here by saying that I never made monkey jokes about the presidency. I didn't mean about just the presidency in my question. Are basically any monkey/chimp jokes/references just off the table?
