Bush's new plan to help the homeless...
BUSH'S NEW PLAN FOR HOMELESS: CLOWN CARS!

By JAKE ANDERSON

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Bush Administration has a daring new plan to house the growing number of homeless people in the country -- clown cars!

"Did you ever go to the circus and see how many clowns come out of a single car?" Bush asked his Cabinet at a meeting last month. "There's like, tons! From one little car! What if we got a bunch of these cars and let homeless people live in them. Wouldn't that be great?"

According to a Cabinet official, Bush went to the circus last month and was impressed with how the clowns looked when they emerged from the cars.

"The President said, 'They're healthy. Energetic. So it must be pretty comfortable in there. And what's more, they can all drive around together and look for jobs! Talk about car pooling!'

Unfortunately, adoption of this idea would keep Halliburton from receiving some pretty hefty no-bid contracts. I'm sure there's plenty of room for the homeless in the almost 1/2 billion dollars worth of 'detention centers' they're building, along with draft dodgers, democrats and non-Bible belters. And, of course don't forget the gays.

2. Um...
did you take the article seriously? I guess it really wouldn't be too surprising if you did, since the typical Bush proposal makes just about as much sense as this one does! :)
