BachWASHINGTON – In a hastily staged press conference last night, Rep. Michelle Bachmann (Minn.) breathlessly read a lengthy statement she said she had received from God.

“The Creator wants me to read this document verbatim,” she explained. 

The document was a 17-page explanation for God’s decision to reduce America’s rating from AAA to AA+. Among other things, the deity said: “The downgrade reflects the Trinity’s view that the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policy-making and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenges to a degree more than we had previously envisioned.”

At the conclusion of the statement, God denied any connection with Hurricane Irene. “That was just a normal weather pattern out of the Caribbean,” He noted.


The American folk standard “Goodnight Irene,” written in 1908, is the number one Google search today, because the lyrics to the second verse seem to eerily predict Hurricane Irene’s arrival in Manhattan–103 years before it happened.

FrankWASHINGTON – Ten minutes before Tuesday’s east coast earthquake, Rep. Barney Frank (D. Mass) engaged in conduct indicating he could sense it was coming.

Witnesses say Frank fell to the floor of the House chamber and began writhing around in distress. Then, he began emitting strange sounds that Speaker John Boehner (R. Ohio) termed “belch vocalizing.” Boehner described the sound as ”an unhappy or upset noise normally reserved for extreme irritation.”

vaughnMARTHA’S VINEYARD – President Obama interrupted his vacation to seek advice from the longtime mayor of this posh seaside resort, Larry Vaughn.

Speaking in metaphors, Vaughn emphatically told Obama not to panic the populace about the economy.  “It’s all psychological,” Vaughn explained. “You yell barracuda, everybody says, ‘Huh? What?’ You yell shark, we’ve got a panic on our hands on the Fourth of July.”

The President nodded his head repeatedly while Vaughn lectured.

“Now if you’re concerned about the economy,” the mayor said, jabbing a finger at Obama, “you do whatever you have to make it right. But those beaches will be open Labor Day weekend!”


bubkeNEW YORK – Hundreds of members of the Gideons International broke into hotel rooms across America last night and took back the Bibles their organization donated.

“People aren’t reading them, and we want them back,” one burglar said.

Police say the burglars also turned down the beds and put chocolates on the pillows.


Collar BombPITTSBURGH – Local bon vivant Noah Swayne of Bethel Park revealed that he “doesn’t feel alive” unless his triple-banded metal collar bomb is securely locked around his neck.

“First thing I do when I come home from work is slap on the collar [bomb],” said Swayne. “I know the neighbors must think it’s strange seeing me cutting the grass wearing the collar, but I’m one of those guys lives a sort of high octane life.”

Swayne insists on setting the timer to detonate the bomb while he’s wearing the collar. “Only one time did I come close to having it go off — when I accidentally fell asleep,” he chuckles. “I disarmed it with seven seconds to spare.”

Swayne confides that he sometimes wears the collar to bed. “Many a night my wife assumes the bomb went off,” he winks. “Every couple should add one of these to their lovemaking regimen.”

bachmann-newsweekWASHINGTON - Terry O’Neill, president of the National Organization for Women, labeled Newsweek Magazine’s cover story on Rep. Michelle Bachmann ”sexist” because, she said, it casts Bachmann as a “nut job.”

“The ‘Queen of Rage’ is something you apply to cable TV wrestlers or somebody who is crazy, not to women running for president,” explained O’Neill.

O’Neill made it clear that NOW does not endorse Bachmann. “Rep. Bachmann is a satanic, scum-sucking, misogynistic neanderthal whose candidacy leaves a trail of smelly slime across this nation.  But how dare the media attack a woman!”

BrownLadyWASHINGTON – The Labor Department’s jobs report was better than expected, showing that television cable networks added 47,000 jobs for spiritual entities and demons last month.

Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis said the boom in ghost hunting shows boosted the entire economy. That didn’t stop the Republicans who are after President Obama’s job, however, from declaring that last month’s modest jobs growth “wasn’t good enough.”

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) told a crowd of supporters: ”I personally know of at least 20 deceased persons who have been looking for work for over a year. That’s unacceptable.”
