The BFEE aims their sights at bigger fish - the solar system!

Not content with the wholesale theft of America and Iraq, George Bush announced today plans for the first manned corporation, er, exploration to Mars via a base on the Moon.

"It is this administrations intent to exploit the entire solar system. Knowing now that Americans have become completely complacent with the idear of being ruled by a proxy dictatorship, we set our sites on larger contracts and payouts for our corporate sponsors."

Content with his obedient press slaves, Bush continued.

"Yep, that's right, we're going to build a base on the Moon at huge expense to you, the American money source, er, consumer. I figure we should clean out Social Security and Medicare by the end of next year. To all my backers out there, space is gonna make us all trillionares!"

The President concluded by mooning the camera and asking Tom Delay to "plant the flag in his moon crater." As usual, everyone laughed because, gosh darn it, we love our little dictator.

1. Clever!

A few minutes ago, the CNN crawl reported that by going back to the moon and on to Mars, 'we will move into the universe.'

I have a question: Where are we now?

I would say we are in Bizzaro Universe (no idea what its spatial relationship is to the real Universe).
