arne duncan raises the dead, catapulted to higher office

[Hannah Bell]

Determined to defuse nagging tensions over his performance and his qualifications for the office he holds, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan brought a dead possum back to life on a busy highway about 8 miles southeast of D.C today. Duncan applied cardiac massage and artificial respiration to the carcass.

Traffic backed up for 2 miles as a mob of onlookers exited their vehicles to applaud Duncan and wish Godspeed to the bewildered former roadkill.

Following the incident, President Obama called a press conference to announce his appointment of Arne Duncan as NBA Commissioner. The President said it may be as late as April 1st before he can find anyone able to fill Duncan's shoes as Ed Secretary.

If only. Maybe Obama could find a real educator to be Sec. of Education instead of his basketball buddy who has never been a teacher.
