USA For Sale - Vendor Highly MOTIVATED!
As long as BU$HCO is determined to sell off the country, why do it in bits and pieces? With one low-cost eBay ad, it can be peddled in one easy transaction:

FOR SALE: One Country - United States of America
(a.k.a. "Good Ol' US of A", "Cradle of Democracy", "Beacon of Freedom")

CONTENTS INCLUDE:

CITIZENS - 300,000,000 (majority highly disgruntled)
MILITARY FORCES - More than SLIGHTLY used
(1) CONGRESS + (1) SENATE - Handyman's special, need MAJOR repairs
NATIONAL PARKS/FORESTS - Number available dependent on speed of sale
(1) WHITE HOUSE - Great nostalgic value for right purchaser
(1) NATIONAL FLAG - Once proud, presently in tatters
(1) CONSTITUTION - Badly damaged, but unread for almost five years

PRESENT ABILITY TO GENERATE INCOME: Almost nil

PRESENT LIABILITIES: $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 of debt. Purchaser must assume all responsibility for pending lawsuits re illegal wiretapping, unlawful detention of foreign personages, allegations of torture/murder, crimes against humanity, bribe-taking, illegal voting systems, etc. (complete list available upon request)

EXTRAS INCLUDE:
Structural plans for Bridge-to-Nowhere (Alaska)
Diebold voting machines (caveat emptor clause applies)
(1) Administration (ethics not included)
Cable-ready nation-wide wire-tapping system (already in place)

New Orleans & Environs
SIX major US ports
Democracy, freedom, civil liberties, etc.

1. Depressingly true
I would be laughing if I didn't live within a few-mile radius of two major ports in the NYC area. I'm actually scared now.

2. Think of it as an estate sale
Owners highly stressed, in debt. No reasonable deals rejected. Cash or acceptable resources only.

5. More like a divorce sale, I'd say.

If only we can get our divorce without having to take on all of the debts our soon-to-be "ex" ran up.

19. I'd call it an 80's-style hostile take-over
Buy the company, dismantle it, sell the assets.
