"President Bush's second inauguration will cost tens of millions of dollars -- $40 million alone in private donations for the balls, parade, Bobby McFerin’s performance, and other invitation-only parties. With that kind of money, what could you buy?
- Two hundred armored Humvees with the best armor for troops in Iraq.
- Vaccinations and preventive health care for 22 million children in regions devastated by the tsunami.
- A down payment on the nation's deficit, which hit a record-breaking $412 billion last year."
According to an Inauguration Planning Group Representative, "Well Sir, we're assured that our inaugural strategy meets the nation's needs at this time. We've been so advised by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the “Bobby McFerin” School of Presidential Inaugurations. Please learn more about our inaugural strategy at the NIH website."

Oh, My Goodness, Joe.
I have ruptured something in my abdomen. I'm looking at the NIEHS link and your comment about the Bobby McFerin School of Presidential Inauguration. I was laughing so hard I alarmed the dog. She was immediatey concerned that if I died on the floor, laughing, her endless supply of premium dog kibble, toys, biscuits, chewies, and the like, would be cut off.
Please do me a favor. In your profile, add something about your penchant for comedic writing. I love it.
Now, I must run. Now that the week is over, I must pack the Jeep to head home for two days..less than 48 hours, actually, before Monday is here again. Ugh.
Please, please...keep up the humor. Life can be such a chore. Your blog keeps me mouse clicking back for a visit so that I may have a healthful, hearty laugh, which heals my soul.

P.S. Please raise a glass to my Mother's 75th b'day, which is tomorrow. Have two glasses (and don't lose the lens in your spectacles again)! She is celebrating with a bottle of moderately priced CA "pseudo Champagne" - not the $200 bottle from France - and her favorite Major Big IT Corporation cafeteria's chicken wings. She's in love with A, the head chef. Cheers.
