#14 Pull your cranium out your behind;
Be more brainy -- the nation won't mind.
But if you were inclined,
It would bless all mankind
If you straightaway up and resigned.

#15 The US is "80%" sure they killed AL-Shabab's leader in targeted airstrikes.

Unfortunately, "80%" is NOT - I REPEAT N-O-T -"100%".
