Sequester Cut Effects Already Visible- Situation Dire

The President has spent the last few weeks touring the country and warning the public about the drastic changes that the country will experience with the advent of the “Sequester”, a mandatory 8 to 9% cut if federal spending, which began last Friday.  The country is now experiencing some of these effects, and they aren’t pretty.  Today the White House announced:

  • Commercial air traffic will only occur on even days of the Month.
  • All states west of the Mississippi will be without power on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. All states east of the Mississippi wil be without power on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturday.  Exception: Washington DC will keep sucking as much power as ever.
  • The defense department is currently negotiating a deal to lease our Pacific fleet to China for the next four years.
  • Starting next week, Air Force One will now sell one hour rides for $5,000 each.  (Rides will be free, however, to Presidential reelection campaign donors who gave over $500,000.)
  • Any prisoner currently incarcerated at a federal prison will be released,  so long as he or she writes “I will not do it again” fifty times on  the blackboard, in the language of his or her choosing.
  • Alaska is being sold back to the Russians. The Russians are currently demanding that Sarah Palin also be included in the deal.  The White House is in favor of agreeing to the Russian demand, but has not yet persuaded Palin to do her patriotic duty and acquiesce.
  • To reduce the size of the White House travel budget (estimated at over one billion dollars for the last four years), the President has stated that he will only take one daughter with him and Michelle on future vacations.  The two girls will rotate; the daughter remaining in Washington will then be babysat by the Secret Service.

Mayor Bloomberg also spoke on the hardships being imposed on New York City by the “Sequester”:

  • The City will reduce its active police force to 23 policemen, 17 of which will be serving in the Mayor’s personal detail.
  • Firefighters will be reduced to 32 active firefighters. Those firefighters will each be issued three cases of bottled water; this being necessary due to the lack of fuel for water trucks.
  • Likewise, the four remaining city EMTs will be issued portable first aid kits, since no money is available for  ambulances either.
  • The Mayor did say that by moving funds from the budgets of less critical organizations, he was certain the all 234 “Big Gulp” inspectors will remain on the job.

 Update:  The California state legislature, concerned about the harm the “Sequester” might cause to the state, today passed a 20% pay increase for all government workers.

Washington Post Reports on Lack of Print Interviews Granted by White House

The Washington Post recently reported on the dearth of interviews granted by President Obama to the print media.  He has not been interviewed by the Post for four years; The New York Times last interviewed him in 2010, and the President has never been interviewed by The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, or The Chicago Tribune.  Instead the President has focused all communication with the public throught television and radio.

Many editors at these publications are angry; they feel that four plus years of obsequiousness should have provided them with much more access to the President.  When White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked about this, he replied: “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?”.

American Psychiatric Association Announces New Disorder

The American Psychiatric Association announced this week that the newest revision of The American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-5, will include a newly defined mental disorder called “egoitis”, also known as “toxic ego”.

The disorder usually affects only the rich and famous and is characterized by delusions in which the patient drastically overestimates his or her intelligence, and consider themselves experts in areas where they have little or no knowledge. Examples include:

  • Donald Trump and politics
  • Mark Cuban and basketball
  • Mayor Bloomberg and obesity
  • President Obama and Israel, etc.  (See list)
  • Various Hollywood stars and just about anything

The disease is considered incurable.  Even when faced with a loss of wealth or power, the patients cling to their delusions, often developing a coincident attack of paranoia as well.  The prescribed treatment for the disorder is to “slap the patient silly”.  Unfortunately, this does not result in any behavioral changes but does make family and associates feel better.

Major Announcement by Planned Parenthood

The Planned Parenthood executive committe issued an announcement today calling for Democratic senators and congresspeople to pass legislation requiring the forced sterilization of all males over the age of twenty-one.  The announcement states that “this step, though radical, is the only true, permanent solution to society’s ongoing ‘baby problem’, and that this will provide women for the first time in history true independence from paternalism.” The statement said that the sterilization should be performed in the “most humane way possible.” 

Anonymous sources inside Planned Parenthood say that there was strong opposition in some parts of the organization to elements of the proposal and much heated discussion.  One group wanted the “most humane way possible” phrase replaced with “rusty knives”, but the majority of the committee felt that using this  phrase would be politically detrimental.  Another heated topic was a proposal by the two non-lesbians on the commttee to exempt male rappers from the legislation.  The two members were bitterly attacked by some of the other members and accused of having undue physical attraction to the rappers. After much yelling and shouting, including frequent uses of the word “ho”, the two committee members dropped their proposal.

White House to Install Hockey Rink in Basement

White House press spokesperson Jay Carney announced today that construction will begin this spring on a new hockey rink  to be installed in the basement of the White House.  It seems the President has taken an interest in the sport, hoping that it might help him better understand Canadians, whose culture and political institutions have remained a complete mystery to the President up till this point.

Carney also said that the new sport will provide a new challenge to the President, who, during his first four years in the White House, has mastered golf, bowling, and skeet-shooting in addtion to playing his weekly pickup basketball games and cycling with his daughters. When asked when the President will find time for his new sport, Carney replied that the President always finds time for sports.

End of an Era: California’s Last Middle Class Citizen Dies

California officials announced last night that Joseph Glabish, the last middle class citizen in California,  died last Sunday marking the end of an era for the Golden State. The family has arranged for his burial to be in Arizona so that he might be near other former middle class Californians; however, the funeral will not take place for at least three months.  California’ tax agents estimate this will be the amount of time required to search his body and his estate for every last penny they can find.   Governor Brown has ordered  flags to hang at half-mast today, and in honor of Mr. Glabish’s passing, the California legislature also passed a 20% pay raise for all government workers.

Elizabeth Warren’s Latest Ethnic Revelation

In addition to being a Native-American, Senator Elizabeth Warren announced today that she is also an African-American.  As in the case of her disputed Native-American heritage, Warren says she can’t prove she’s African-American, but she fondly remembers her great grandmother’s stories about life on the planation in southern Mississippi. She warmly recalls listening to her Nana talking about living in the big house, going to balls, and curiously ordering the other African-Americans around as if they were slaves.

Senator Warren thinks that this is why she and the President have such a close connection: they both think they’re African-American.

How Al Gore May Save the Environment

Engineers at MIT recently made the following calculations:

If the near $1 billion Al Gore has made promoting green energy in the last 12 years was cashed out as $1 bills, these $1 bills could be bundled  and shipped to the nation’s various coal powered power plants where they could then be burnt as fuel in place of coal.  The engineers have calculated that this could completely supply the nation’s electricity needs for the next 23 years. The only downside to this idea, other than the millions of angry consumers whose pockets would be stuffed with quarters while dollar bills were temorarily unavailable, would be a fine green mist emited as a by-product from the burning of the ink in the bills. The MIT engineers say that this green mist could actually have many positive effects on the environment, including halting global warming, patching the hole in the ozone layer, and saving the whales.

Many top environmentalists now think that this may have been Gore’s plan all along and are praising him as a true genius.   No word from Gore as to when he intends to cash out his fortune.
