MISTER PREZNIT: TEAR DOWN THIS WALL OF OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS!

Politico reports that our Preznit has a nasty habit of tearing up official government documents that cross his Prezinential desk. Trying to meet federal retention requirements in the Presidential Records Act, a team of government analysts has been spending its time attempting to reassemble the torn papers.

I gave thought to how this team of hard-working public servants might make their operation more efficient and then it hit me. They should contact the Iranian students who in 1979 managed to reassemble thousands of documents shredded by US diplomats just before revolutionaries took over our embassy there. In fact, just mail the whole truckload of official confetti to Tehran, and I've no doubt it'll be restored to readability in just a matter of a few years -- for free! And probably via Wikileaks.
