Because I can't end the day on such a downer . . . .

From an e-mail sent to me by my lovely wife:

Q. How many members of the Bush administration does it take to change a lightbulb?

A. Ten.
One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed;
One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed;
One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb;
One to arrange the invasion of a country rumored to have a secret stockpile of light bulbs;
One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for the new light bulb;
One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder under the banner: LIGHT BULB CHANGE ACCOMPLISHED;
One administration insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how Bush was literally in the dark;
One to viciously smear #7;
One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along;
One to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing a lightbulb and screwing the country.

Of course, the Bush administration's answer is somewhat different:

None.
There is nothing wrong with the light bulb;
Its conditions are improving every day.
Any reports of its lack of incandescence are delusional spin
from the liberal media. That light bulb has served honorably, and anything you say undermines the lighting effect.
Why do you hate freedom?
