Bush
Says Military Will Be Used to Wipe Out “Evil” Avian Flu

An “evil”
avian flu pandemic could be “a threat” so serious that troops (what troops? From
where?) might be needed to cordon off sections of the United States and engage
it in “washed-hand-to-washed-hand combat,” President George Shrub said
yesterday.
”I am concerned about what an avian-flu outbreak could do to my already
dwindling popularity,” the President confessed.
Mr. Shrub
said that given his terrible gaffs with the war and Hurricane Katrina, he was
"really hoping to get this one right.”
“This pandemic is evil. It threatens our very nation. There are
sleeper cells in people’s immune systems, just waiting to attack our glorious
citizens. I have upgraded our panic alert to “severe.” My mother, also wants you
to know that many of you who get this flu will likely be the already sick, so,
for you folks, this new disease should make a nice change to your regular
sickly ailments.”
Bush Picks A Zombie?

President
Thinks “Insider Sycophant and possible Dark Ages, Witch Burner, Living Dead
She-Zombie” is right image for Supreme Court
President
Bush on Monday nominated White House counsel Harriet Miers to replace retiring
Justice Sandra Day O’Connor on the Supreme Court, reaching into his loyal inner
circle of Conservative ghouls. Democrats and Republicans are confused by choice.
Is Harriet a Bush sycophant (well, yes) who will do his bidding? Do we want
followers on the Supreme Court (It’s probably too late to worry about that)? Is
Harriet a modern, independent woman? Or, is there any truth to the rumours that
she is in fact a flesh eating zombie that will reshape the nation’s judiciary
for years to come and send it back to the dark ages.
And while
none of us will forget that Miers was responsible for looking into Bush’s
Vietnam-era draft record to prepare for damage control, one wonders whether
she’ll hold George’s own lack of duty against him later on.
One thing is
for certain, the zombie rumours aren’t going away.
“She has devoted her life to eating corpses,” President Bush was
overheard saying from the Oval Office, a statement he later vehemently denied
with the flesh eating Miers at his side.
“I said she has dedicated her life to reading Forbes. Anyway, my point
is she will be an outstanding addition to the Republican zombies that make up
the Supreme Court of the United States. Oops, did I say zombies?”
Your Horoscope:
Aries:
Mars governs your finances and security, which might explain the current mess
you’re in.
Taurus: You
rely heavily on intuition, but as the psychologist Carl Jung once observed,
“I’ve got a gut feeling that Ziggy Freud is absolutely fucking crazy.”
Gemini: There was a time you would have gone along with the others, but
all that has changed. You’re increasing unwilling to comply with anything that
doesn’t suit you and would rather sit at home and complain about today’s
teenagers. Well, it finally happened, you’re an old coot.
Cancer: Others may frown at your behaviour, but remember, not everyone
is a fan of public urination.
Leo: Even if you are the kind of Leo who dislikes noisy crowds and
foreigners and today’s music and fashion and... Sorry, where was I going with
this?
Virgo: For victory to have meaning one must gloat.
Libra: A wandering minstrel and your love of slapping wandering
minstrels about the head come together in a satisfying way.
Scorpio: You will continue to view groats
as
English silver coins worth four pence, used from the 14th to the 17th century.
Sagittarius:
See above.
Capricorn: Jupiter, your ruler, really enjoys pushing you around in
front of the other Gods. How much longer are you gonna put up with it?
Aquarius: Prepare to be swept off your feet by an angry (and
surprisingly strong) old lady with a broom.
Pisces: You continue to dislike the French but love French Toast.

Tom Cruise's Wedding Planner
As you may also know, Tom is writing a secret “wedding journal” that includes
his thoughts on his wedding night, or “Mission Impossible III” as he’s calling
it.
Let’s spend the next few days pouring over it. Shall we?
My Alien Wedding Planner by Tommy Cruiser:
I feel pretty today. I feel sexy and smart. I feel like the time has come to
think up some kind of “accident” for Katie to have to get me out of this
infernal wedding. If I was a cartoon, I’d just shove a piece of TNT in her
mouth. Of course, she would have to be a cartoon as well. And if that were the
case, she wouldn’t die. She’d just wind up with a black face and her hair all
blown back in some funny cartoonish manner. Clearly this is going to take some
more thought...

Babies...

INT. BEDROOM -- NIGHT
Judy and George in
bed. The sound of a baby crying
wakes them.
GEORGE: I don't believe
this...what time is it?
JUDY: Three a.m.
GEORGE: Good God it's
like clockwork. Who's turn is it?
JUDY: Yours...I was up
an hour ago.
GEORGE: Well so was
I...
JUDY: (pleading) Just
make it stop George, please!
Judy turns over and
pulls pillow over her head.
GEORGE:
Alright...alright...
George sits up in
bed.
GEORGE (CONT'D): FOR
CHRIST'S SAKE SHUT UP!!
The crying stops.
George lies back down. After
a moment, the crying starts again.
GEORGE (CONT'D):
Judy...Judy...I did everything I can. You're
up.
Judy hits George
with her pillow, gets up and walks to bedroom window.
JUDY: Good God George!!
There are five of them.
GEORGE: Five?
Where?
George gets out of
bed and walks to window.
JUDY: Out by the
composter. See, right there.
George removes
slipper and throws it.
GEORGE: God damned
babies...people should be forced to keep them in at night.
Look at the filthy little things.
If I had any nerve I'd put them in a sack and deal with them the same
way my father did.
JUDY: George, don't be
awful. Shoo...shoo now...go home...
GEORGE: You know why
they're here don't you? It's that
god damned Wilson baby. See the
way he's peeing all over my trash cans. That
brings them in hordes. Well I'll
tell you one thing, Wilson is getting a call from me in the morning.
JUDY: (pause) Maybe
they just like it here.
GEORGE: My God Judy,
you haven't been breast feeding them have you?
JUDY: Well...
GEORGE: Great, now
we'll never get rid of them.
JUDY: I couldn't help
it George. It was raining out and
the skinny one with the birthmark came scratching at the door...He was so cute
and scraggly. George why can't we
have one of our own?
GEORGE: Judy, how many
times do I have to tell you... I'm allergic.
JUDY: But the doctor
said there are drugs...pills you can take.
GEORGE: Not now Judy!!
(looks out window) Oh great now their crawling all over my car and
leaving greasy little footprints all over my hood and windows.
Get off my car! I'll
never get any sleep.
JUDY: Maybe if we sung
to them...lull them to sleep.
GEORGE: I think their
diapers are leaking...
JUDY: George...a
lullaby.
GEORGE: Alright...
BOTH: (singing)
“You’re once, twice, three times a baby...”
JUDY: It's working.
Look, the one in the birch tree just nodded off.
GEORGE: I guess it is
kinda cute...
JUDY: Those bald heads
are so adorable.
They gaze out the
window for a moment and then turn toward each other.
GEORGE: I love you
honey.
JUDY: I love you too.
But I've got to get some sleep. So
go out there, put them in a box and we'll drop them all at Wilson's front
door.
GEORGE: Gotcha!
