In "straining" to find humor in all this I would have to start with
material on whether we will ever see deficit numbers we can beleive again since the Office of Management & Budget ( OMB ) will only put the best face forward numbers for the Dubya Gubment and the Repub-controlled Congressional budget Office ( CBO ) will most certanly *never* produce budget numbers that would contradict the bouquet of rosey scenarios wafting out of the White House.

i mean what would Martha Stewart think..... oh, that's right, she's under investigation for lying about acting upon "inside trading info".
Yeah, sounds like a Repub culture is about to blossom.

Wanna see who's still laughing when the actual size of the deficit bills finally explode out of hiding after the Bushite's "fuzzy math" , that just got fresh gasoline thorwn on it , burns out enough to reveal what's actually left in the till.

Only Russian humor is black enough to ameliorate my sense of foreboding.
