Bush announces SINGLE PrAYER HEALTH CARE SYSTEM...
AP WASHINGTON: After inadvertently picking up a newspaper in the bathroom last Thursday, George W. Bush left the room announcing that he had the election in the bag and knew what Americans wanted that he could supply for virtually no money at all.

He called a private meeting with evangelicals and fundamentalist Christians and with speed that could only be granted by Executive Privilege, created the largest single payer prayer line the modern world has ever seen. Now, anyone in America can, when sick or injured, call a toll free number and after paying a fee adjusted on the callers income, will receive a healing prayer from a certified USDA faith healer.

Excerpts from the press conference after the announcement and implementation of the new plan:

Reporter: President Bush, how did you come up with this idea?

Bush: I read in the paper that a lot of people wanted a single prayer health system like they have in Europe.

Reporter: Ummm, Sir. They have a single PAYER system. Payer, not prayer.

Bush: 9-11, rape rooms.

Reporter: Sir?

Bush: Osama, Saddam...

Reporter: Sir???

Bush: You afraid yet? Anthrax, sex slaves... STEROIDS!!!!

Reporter: Oh. Never mind.

2. I'd believe this except for the one mistake
"fee adjusted on the callers income" If you would have said the rich pay nothing, then you had me.
