WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In one of the most shocking moves of his presidency, George W. Bush is on the verge of selling Hawaii to Japan, a leading Washington insider has informed Weekly World News.

"Basically, the President sees this as a quick and easy way to generate a huge bundle of cash," stated the source, an upper-echelon State Department official with close ties to Bush's inner circle.

"As everyone knows, the U.S. is in debt up to its eyeballs -- to the tune of more than $7.5 trillion. And thanks to the gigantic tax cuts Bush keeps giving the super-wealthy and big corporations, the government effectively has no income whatsoever. Bush figures that by selling Hawaii, he'll be able to pay off a sizeable portion of the national debt while generating funding for continuing military operations in Iraq, and quite possibly, a full-scale invasion of Iran."

Can we please form a co-op and buy it from him? The sooner the better!

Or if the Japanese make a better offer, will the ABC Stores then display signs that read "We Accept Dollars"? :-)

1. We owe Japan over $700 billion dollars right now

Within a few more years, they may just end up repossessing Hawaii.

2. Due to a poor economic out look, even if Hawaii was put on EBay

It would fetch only $5.67
