President 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.

(Pasted from an email I received)

I only looked at this thread because I assumed Sparky would have a -1 post count :D

Me too :D

me minus one

postcount is an unsigned int... so, can never be less than 0. :)

0 - 1 = 0

Sort of like how triangles can have 3 right angles.

I was once told that if we could figure out the square root of -1 we'd be able to travel thru time.

so it's all about being and nothingness?

Actually, I believe you would win the Fields Medal for that.

I think you just need to travel 299,792,459+ meters per second to start going back in time.

So now that Louisiana will b French again does this mean we should see a large drop on French Fries?

Off camera, Bush was asked his opinion on ROE v. WADE. He said he did not care how the folks in New Orleans got out.

My personal favorite hurricane funny was from the otherwise lacking "What kind of Asshole Conservative Response Did You Have?" http://www.pandagon.net/archives/200...ind_of_as.html

(Which, sadly enough, has been paraphrased in all sincerity way too many times.)

There even is proof that Katrina was in fact a russian attack: http://weatherwars.info/katrina.htm

Every time I smell human urin I remember the beautiful sidewalks of Paris. That smell was every where and some how I think they'd enjoy the new New Orleans.
