2004 Presidential Election Canceled
http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/weekly/aa040102a.htm
<snip>---
WASHINGTON — President Bush announced today that the 2004 presidential election will be canceled due to the war on terrorism and other scheduling conflicts.

Although the U.S. Constitution expressly mandates that presidential elections be held every four years, a little-known clause in the USA Patriot Act, which Congress hastily approved in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, gives the sitting president the option to cancel a presidential election and remain in office indefinitely if he deems it in the national interest.

California's Letter of Secession

Dear President Bush:

Congratulations on your victory over all us
non-evangelicals. Actually, we're a bit ticked off
here in California, so we're leaving you. California
will now be its own country. And we're taking all the
Blue States with us. In case you are not aware, that
includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, ALL of
the North East States, and the urban half of Ohio.

We spoke to God, and she agrees that this split will
be beneficial to almost everybody, and especially to
us in the new country of California. In fact, God is
so excited about it, she's going to shift the whole
country at 4:30 pm EST this Friday. Therefore, please
let everyone know they need to be back in their states
by then. God is going to give us the Pacific Ocean and
Hollywood. In addition, we're getting San Diego.
(Sorry, that's just how it goes.) But God is letting
you have the KKK and country music (except the Dixie
Chicks).

Just so we're clear, the country of California will be
pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, and anti-war. Speaking
of war, we're going to need all Blue States citizens
back from Iraq. If you need people to fight in
Falujah, just ask your evangelical voters. They have
tons of kids they're willing to send to their deaths
for absolutely no purpose. And they don't care if you
don't show pictures of their kids' caskets coming
home.

So, you get Texas and all the former slave states, and
we get the Governator and stem cell research. (We
would love you to take Britney Spears off our hands,
though. She IS from the south, right?) Since we get
New York, you'll have to come up with your own late
night TV shows because we get MTV, Letterman, the
Daily Show, and Conan O'Brien. You get... well, why
don't you ask your people at Fox News to come up with
something entertaining? (Maybe you should just watch
Crossfire. That's a really funny show.)

We wish you all the best in the next four years and we
hope, really hope, you find those missing weapons of
mass destruction. Seriously. Soon.

Sincerely,
California

I would have loved to hear this concession speech:

I love this site too:

(Scroll down to "Too much information is never enough" for a positive take on colonoscopies. There doesn't seem to be much political-type stuff up at the moment, but check the archives.)
