Washington DC (IP) - The government just released some astounding news to our Washington field office. The head of the FAA just announced that in an effort to save money and "go green" American politicians will henceforth travel by hot air balloon. The balloons also will provide a platform from which they can get a good view of their jurisdictions and provide a convenient platform from which they can speak to their constituencies.
There obviously will be no need for the flame and fuel attachments in that politicians are already in possession of enough hot air to fill all of their needs and then some.
There is already a controversy looming in Washington on the very first day of this grand experiment. An unusual mid-summer cold front had dumped a foot of snow in front of the White House. Someone hovering above the White House in the presidential balloon had urinated onto the snow. In the snow were written the words: GW Bush SUCKS. George Bush had not been on board and he angrily demanded that the Secret Service get to the bottom of all of this.
It did not take long and the Secret Service told the president that they had good news and bad news for him.
The good news was that they knew it was Obama's urine.
The bad news was that it was Laura Bush's handwriting.
