Can We Give Texas Back to Mexico After Rita?
Below (beginning with the bold title) is a news story that has been circulating from the highly enjoyable web site bsnews.org.
The post-Katrina fuel surcharges that many service companies have added to their bills this summer is getting a little out of hand. First the pizza delivery people, which does make some sense.
Now, my pest control guy tacked on a fuel surcharge during his latest regular visit. I should just cancel the service. It’s not like his stuff is working because I still see Republicans.
I finally had enough when a peanut vendor at RFK stadium imposed a fuel surcharge at the Nats game yesterday.
After New Orleans is rebuilt, you can bet that the first time a thunderstorm is forecasted for that city, the government response is going to be akin to the next Berlin airlift.
Bush Sells Louisiana Back to the French
BATON ROUGE, LA. – The White House announced today that President Bush has successfully sold the state of Louisiana back to the French at more than double its original selling price of $11,250,000.
“This is a bold step forward for America,” said Bush. “And America will be stronger and better as a result. I stand here today in unity with French Prime Minister Jack Shiraq, who was so kind to accept my offer of Louisiana in exchange for 25 million dollars cash.”
The state, ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, will cost hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild.
“Jack understands full well that this one’s a ‘fixer upper,’” said Bush. “He and the French people are quite prepared to pump out all that water, and make Louisiana a decent place to live again. And they’ve got a lot of work to do. But Jack’s assured me, if it’s not right, they’re going to fix it.”
The move has been met with incredulity from the already beleaguered residents of Louisiana.
“Shuba-pie!” said New Orleans resident Willis Babineaux. “Frafer-perly yom kom drabby sham!”
However, President Bush’s decision has been widely lauded by Republicans.
“This is an unexpected but brilliant move by the President,” said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. “Instead of spending billions and billions, and billions of dollars rebuilding the state of Louisiana, we’ve just made 25 million dollars in pure profit.”
“This is indeed a smart move,” commented Fox News analyst Brit Hume. “Not only have we stopped the flooding in our own budget, we’ve made money on the deal. Plus, when the god-awful French are done fixing it up, we can easily invade and take it back again.”
The money gained from 'The Louisiana Refund' is expected to be immediately pumped back into the rebuilding of Iraq.
