    Barack Obama, the Fly-Killer…

    In the outtakes of the interview between a CNBC reporter and President Obama on the current economic conditions, there was an annoying fly buzzing around. Obama almost casually reached out and smacked it dead.

    Shazam!

    Zicam is being yanked from store shelves…

    Apparently, although the company that makes it (Matrixx Initiatives [MTXX]) through its Zicam LLC subsidiary hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing, there is apparently acknowledgement that the product has a zinc-based component that causes derangements in the sense of smell.

    This has apparently equated to a dramatic share price drop over the past few minutes.
