Bin Laden Regrets
NEWS FLASH!
Today an AlQeda spokesman said that they HAD sent the memo explaining the
who
what
why
where
when
how
of September 11, 2001.
"It must have gotten lost in the mail," he told Al-Jezerra News. "Mr. Bin Laden sends his regrets over the mix-up."
"Heck, the package even included some crayons so they could connect the dots", he said in closing.
Maybe they should have disguised it as a Presidential Daily Briefing - or as a copy of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," the book which GW Bush says is his favorite.
Note: this fictitious news item might contain a bit of sarcasm, violating our "irony-free zone" policy. Caveat Emptor.
Sha-zamm!
How did Gomer Pyle get into the Marine Corps in the first place? The "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy wouldn't have counted in his case.
Maxwell Smart Becomes James Bond?
The White House proposed a new spy agency modeled on England's famed MI-5. The CIA does need an overhaul. The question is, how are we going to turn Maxwell Smart into James Bond without it looking like an episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Spy?

Speaking of the President's Daily Brief....
"The White House said Friday it would declassify the President's Daily Brief of August 6, 2001. It warned that Osama was planning to attack America, but President Bush was preoccupied reviewing scientific papers on stem cell research. He was too busy protecting the sanctity of innocent human life to worry about New Yorkers."

A Uniter, Not a Divider
It took a while, but now we're seeing GW Bush's uniting in action. So far he's united:
- non-Republican Americans (traditionally a very divied group), against Bush-Cheney '04
- most of the world, against America
- for the first time in history, Sunnis and Shiites, against us
Good job, George.
