“BUSH BLAMES BLIZZARD ON SADDAM”

Filed under: Satire — semi @ 11:44 am

If you’ve been watching the news (or, indeed, if you live in the Eastern Time Zone and you’ve looked out your window) you know the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. has been blanketed with several feet of snow. Here in Virginia, everything has just ground to a halt for a few days while we dig ourselves out. Most folks have simply stayed home.

MY JOKE OF THE WEEK: “I just wrapped myself in plastic sheets and duct tape and walked to work...”

I love this piece by Andy Borowitz from his satirical website The Borowitz Report:

Bush Blames Blizzard On Saddam
Evildoer Drops Two Feet of Snow on Northeast, White House Says

President Saddam Hussein of Iraq dropped between one and two feet of snow on the Northeastern United States today, closing airports and creating hazardous driving conditions, President George W. Bush revealed.

“To those in the world who say that Mr. Saddam Hussein poses no threat, I�d ask you to take a look outside your window,” President Bush said in a White House press briefing this afternoon. “It’s a freaking mess out there.”
