Santa tries, but fails, to make a delivery at the White House.

I guess he knows who's been naughty.

Gene Spafford ('Spaf') runs a mailing list called “Yuks” which is often pretty funny. Today's entry, originating from Wm Leler, is about the next Bush Library:

They are already making plans for the GW Bush Library. Proposed exhibits include:

The Alberto Gonzales Room – Where you can't remember anything.

The Hurricane Katrina Room – It's still under construction.

The Texas Air National Guard Room – Where you don't have to even show up.

The Walter Reed Hospital Room – Where they don't let you in.

The Guantanamo Bay Room – Where they don't let you out.

The Weapons of Mass Destruction Room – Nobody has been able to find it.

The War in Iraq Room – After you complete your first tour, they can force you to go back for your second and third and fourth and fifth tours.

The Dick Cheney Room – In an undisclosed location, but reports are if you find it, it contains a unique shooting gallery.

Plans also include:

The K-Street Project Gift Shop – Where you can buy an election, or, if no one cares, steal one.

The Men's Room – Where you can meet a Republican Senator (or two).

Last, but not least, there will also be an entire floor devoted to a 7/8 scale model of the President's ego.

To be fair, the President has done some good things, and so the museum will have an electron microscope to help you locate them.

When asked, President Bush said that he didn't care so much about the individual exhibits as long as his museum was better than his father's.
