The fox has entered the henhouse.



True story:

Discussing the government's response to Hurricane Katrina on Tuesday, President Bush announced that he will personally oversee an investigation into what went wrong and why.

Also, as mentioned in the most recent "Cheap Joke of the Day" here on your Catchpenny, Bush said that Vice President Dick "Where the Hell have I been for the last two weeks? Are we sure they haven't replaced me with someone else who looks kinda like me, just like what happened to 'Becky' on Roseanne?" Cheney will go to the Gulf Coast on Thursday as part of the effort to see if the government is doing all that it can.

"Bureaucracy is not going to stand in the way of getting the job done for the people," said Bush.

This is actually really exciting news. Why? Because presumably, this means that from this point forward, anyone who plans and commits a homicide in this country will thereafter be allowed to investigate that homicide themselves.

I'm also hoping it means that I will personally be permitted to be judge and jury for my own income tax evasion, which I have planned for next April.

Your tax evasion scheme will most likely land you in serious prison time. This is partly for not embezzling enough, but the relevant factor is that you're thinking of it months in advance. The current standard is to punish PREMEDITATION.

Case in point: Blanco is raked over the coals for failing to declare NOLA a disaster area AFTER the tragedy. This is because she foolishly put such an edict into effect the Friday BEFORE the hurricaine hit.

If you want to safely collect that $300 in taxes you were planning to conceal, wait until another Democratic administration builds up a budget surplus, followed by a Republican president squandering it on checks to bribe the public immediately after taking office.
