Stop it! Stop tickling me." His staff looked at themselves amazed, for none of them tickled him. In fact, the President issued an executive order only last week prohibiting anyone from tickling him. He issued this order after his D-Day trip to France where French president Francois Mitterand greeted the President as he deplaned Air Force One by tickling his ribs and saying in French with his best French accent, "Kootchy kootchy koo. Welcome to France Bob." Mitterand tried to welcome First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton the same way, but she pulled a gun out of her purse, waved it in the air and told him, "Back off Frenchy." Clinton's staff made several attempts to stop President Clinton's delirious laughing by showing him ghastly photographs of starving Somalians, butchered Rwandans, and, most abhorrent of all, a photograph of Rush Limbaugh wearing only a pair of bikini underwear. All of their attempts failed, so First Lady Hillary Clinton called in Surgeon-General Joselyn Elders to examine Clinton. She immediately diagnosed the President as falling under a voodoo spell. Elders said she had seen many examples of this type of sorcery in the most primitive, backward parts of Arkansas like the state legislature in Little Rock. She left the White House saying, "There's nothing I can do for the President. Just tell him to take two condoms and call me in the morning." Just after Dr. Elders left, President Clinton stopped laughing. Immediately, the White House received an anonymous phone call from General Cedras, the military leader of Haiti. Cedras told the White House he hired a voodoo witch doctor named Ugly Grandma Au-Contraire to make a wax image of President Clinton and, under his order, she had just tickled the President's image with a chicken feather. He then warned the White House that if the U.S. did not lift economic sanctions against Haiti he would order Ugly Grandma Au-Contraire to begin snapping the underwear of the waxen image underwear really hard, causing severe pain in the President. The military strongman then hung up abruptly because he said his mommy had called him to dinner. "We're having curly-Q french fries tonight and I get to use a crazy straw in my glass of Kool- Aid!" he said gleefully. Clinton became deeply concerned. He told his staff, "A voodoo spell on me would demean the office of the Presidency, not to mention the pain I would have to endure of a unremitting underwear snapping." He ordered the CIA to conduct a counter-terrorist operation against Cedras. Sources in the CIA have said this operation may include paranormal attacks against Cedras, possibly involving spontaneous combustion and alternative geography. Upon announcement of the President's order, prominent Republicans lawmakers like Newt Gingrich, Phil Graham, Lizzie Borden, Robert Dornan, Clever Hans, and Dracula attacked the President's intention to use paranormal aggression against Haiti. They said his defense cuts had weakened the paranormal defense of the US. They claimed the US could not conduct such an operation, because, since the end of the Cold War, the US has fallen behind the Third World in paranormal defense, leaving the American people vulnerable to hyperphysical aggression from spells, charms, incantations, and invocations. Research groups, as the nonpartisan group Center for Strategic Theosophical Studies, seem to support the Republican proposition. According to them, at the end of the Cold War, the Department of Defense (DOD) stopped all funding of paranormal defense. At one time the DOD conducted vigorous paranormal defense research. For instance, during the Reagan administration, as part of the Star Wars program, the CIA had a research program to contact angels in heaven and persuade them to drop nuclear bombs on Moscow. Reagan became convinced the U.S. could persuade angels to do this because the Soviet Union was atheist and God was on America's side. Scientists in the study actually claimed they had contacted heaven's answering service several times and left messages. However, nobody in heaven ever answered the messages and the CIA's conclusion of the 20 million dollar study came to "The residents of heaven are very rude." However, Reagan disputed the conclusion, believing the angels did not know how to work their answering machines. He said, "They probably don't know how to operate their VCRs either." The Republican Party already has seized paranormal defense as a campaign issue. This evening, at a Republican fund raiser in Dallas, Republican Minority Whip Newt Gingrich raised the issue of supernatural defenses. He told a crowd of 500 Republicans that the US has become more vulnerable than ever to supernatural aggression from Third World countries. He called it the greatest threat to US security. As an example, he said a shaman in Liberia, disgruntled with USA over a lack of Liberians on prime time American television, could enchant Miss America, and the US would have no defense against it. The Republican audience gasped. Gingrich called the problem so serious the Republican Party would use it as a campaign issue in the next Presidential campaign. He told the audience the Republicans will go directly to the American people and promise them a Republican president would never allow its enemies to enchant Miss America. "Read our lips Republicans should state," said Gingrich, "none of our enemies foreign or domestic will put the mojo on Miss America." He called the supernatural defense issue a sure winner for the Republican Party, and to prevent the Democrats from stealing it, as the Democrats did with the crime issue, he proposed that the next Republican nominee for President have the ability to engage in out of body experiences and to bend spoons with his mind. =========================================================================== Entire contents Copyright (C) 1994 by Byron Lanning.
