BATON ROUGE, LA. - The White House announced today that President Bush
has
successfully sold the state of Louisiana back to the French at more
than
double its original selling price of $11,250,000.


Hmmmmm. I'll have to think about this. It just might work. If sold,
those conservative screwballs in Shreveport couldn't keep trying to
take the spice out of New Orleans' hot sauce.

And if the sale could be extended to the Louisiana Purchase, think of
all those wuthless red states that we'd git shut of. But I don't think
France could handle Kansas and Montana. I suspect they might try to
sell them to Iran where fundamentalism is a way of life.
