"“We are a nation of laws,” Bush declared, although it was unclear if he understood the words."

"In a move White House staffers describe as an attempt to shore up his far-right base, President Bush last night announced his intention to send National Guard troops to defend his administration’s increasingly fragile border with Reality.

In a prime time speech broadcast live only by Fox News Channel and the Outdoor Life Network, Bush attempted to raise his sagging poll numbers back into double digits by employing the words “initiative,” “comprehensive,” and “solution,” spoken as if they were somehow related to the rest of the speech.

In last night’s address, the president took his case to the American people that Reality is “out of control,” and as a result he is dispatching “five schmillion” National Guard troops to patrol its borders.

“We are a nation of laws,” Bush declared, although it was unclear if he understood the words. “Reality is always welcome within our borders, when it is willing to cooperate with our laws and obey our commands. But Reality cannot enter this great nation in an uncontrollable tide. Therefore, tonight, I am announcing a comprehensive solution initiative.”"
