Dubya And Light Bulbs

[iamjoy]

How many members of the Bush administration does it take to change a light bulb?

TEN
1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed;
2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed;
3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb;
4. One to arrange the invasion of a country rumored to have a secret stockpile of light bulbs;
5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for the new light bulb;
6.. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder under the banner: Light Bulb Change Accomplished;
7. One administration insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how Bush was literally in the dark;
8. One to viciously smear #7;
9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George W. Bush has had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along;
10. And finally one to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country.

I thought about putting this in the DU Lounge with other humor postings. Then it occurred to me, this isn't a joke.

1. A security force

Actually, he brought a whole security unit with him complete with generators to get just the right backlit effect.

2. Lit up the neighborhood for about 1/2 hour, than DARKNESS again

Friday morning (power) line

I am duty-bound to report the talk of the New Orleans warehouse district last night: there was rejoicing (well, there would have been without the curfew, but the few people I saw on the streets were excited) when the power came back on for blocks on end. Kevin Tibbles was positively jubilant on the live update edition of Nightly News that we fed to the West Coas <snip>

Later, the lights went out and stayed out. WTF kemosabe ?
