Commander of NORAD: Welcome Mr. President, we're honored to have you here at NORAD. Over there on those large screens on the wall, you can see the situation in real-time from geo-synchronous weather and intelligence satellites tracking the progress of Rita in the Gulf. The one on the left is the false-color infrared satellite which allows is to measure factors from the storm like windspeeds and cloud tops, as well as to see telemetry from surface-based weather stations. To the right is a live feed from NOAA, the NWS Hurricane Center in Miami, and to the right of that are real-time feeds from all the major news networks. In front of you is a headset that will allow you instantaneous real-time communication with Fleet assets currently deployed behind Rita in the Gulf as well as contact with the Hurrican Hunter personnel currently monitoring the storm on-station in the eye. Again, we're honored to have you here and look forward to helping you lead the response to Rita as it makes landfall in Texas. Do you have any questions for me, sir?
Preznit Facial Abrasion: Neat-O. Now, can I ride my bike in the halls? I wanna see if the bell echos when I ring it.

Donald Rumsfeld is giving President Bush his daily briefing, and concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in an accident"
"Oh No", the President exclaims. "That's terrible".
His staff sit there, stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President slumps, head in hands. Finally the President looks up and asks...
I think the only questions Preznit Asshat-NoCattle would have are: "Where's the bar cabinet?" and "Is the briefing room all set up with cameras? Where's my blue work shirt?"

thank-you for your posts. in times like this we also need to smile and sometimes laugh at the idiots in charge before we go out each day and again face the idiots who put them there.
