One Year Later, Move to Fox Has Screwed Up Van Susteren's Face
WASHINGTON (DPI) - Media analyst Ron Kurtz concluded that Greta Van
Susteren's year on Fox News has caused considerable damage to her facial
structure. "That 'We Report, You Decide' stuff about how Fox News is
unbiased is just really hard to say with a straight face," said Kurtz. "I
believe the facial contortions necessary to repeat the no-bias claim must
have taken their toll." Kurtz indicated highlighted areas in a photo of
Van Susteren, the host of On the Record With Greta Van Susteren. "Look
at the bulges in her cheeks. That's where she's had to swallow Bush's
claim that wiretapping is freedom and indefinite detentions are security,"
said the analyst. "And I don't have to tell you what it means that her
nose appears to be growing."

Bored Antiques Roadshow Appraiser Says 1999 Cake Mold Worth Fortune
ATLANTA (DPI) - Lee Koss, a guest appraiser for the PBS television
series Antiques Roadshow, told Liona Miggins that her Ikea cake mold is
worth more than $10,000. "I'd been looking at musty books and belt-buckles
all day and just wanted to have some fun," said Koss. "She bought the cake
mold at a garage sale and it even has one of those stupid Ikea names like
'Våtelskör' engraved into it." Miggins remains convinced of the cake
mold's value. "He said it was one of the earliest examples of Viking
non-stick cookery," she said.

Senate GOP Defends Hazing Incident
WASHINGTON (DPI) - Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist defended the GOP
leadership in the face of a videotape showing him and his colleagues
violently hazing Senate Democrats and moderate Sen. Olympia Snowe,
R-Maine. The video shows Frist, R-Tenn., Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Rick
Santorum, R-Penn., kicking and punching Senate Minority Leader Tom
Daschle, D-S.D., while yelling, "Are you gonna cry, Frenchie-girl?!"
Snowe, who opposes President Bush's tax plan, was shown on tape being
forced to eat dirt and accept a $450-billion dividend tax cut. Frist
defended the hazing, saying, "It's about bonding. Anybody who dissents
from President Bush's policies must be beaten into submission. It's how we
maintain patriotic unity."

NASA Admits Space Travel Is Indeed Rocket Science
HOUSTON (DPI) - Following the Columbia space shuttle tragedy and the
recent miscalculated space capsule landing, NASA has acknowledged that
rocket science is fundamental to all elements of space travel. "There was
a saying in the 'Earth Re-entry' division that 'Landings Ain't Rocket
Science,'" said NASA administrator John Laskin. "It was just an inside
joke for a while, but then we started hiring pure physicists and math guys
and the joke became a motto." Laskin also said NASA will no longer treat
rocket science and brain surgery as equivalent skills.

PETA Defends Human Medical Testing
NEW YORK (DPI) - PETA spokesperson Shelly Doeringer defended human
medical testing yesterday as necessary for developing safe veterinary
surgical techniques. "How many dogs have been given successful kidney
transplants because of the practice doctors received experimenting with
surgeries on humans?" Doeringer said. "If just one hamster or ferret is
saved by human medical experimentation, it's worth it." While not exactly
recommending wholesale harvesting of humans for animal medical use,
Doeringer denied that a human life was worth as much as an animal life,
saying, "Humans leave you sitting at home in your $500 prom dress while
nailing a cheerleader in the gym. My kitties would never do that."

Outhouse Still Standing After Midwest Maelstrom
LIBERTY, Mo. (DPI) - Chuck Hatfield, whose house and family were swept
away in one of the hundreds of tornadoes that touched down across the
Midwest this week, was ecstatic that his prize outhouse stood strong
against the force of the storm. "Sure, I lost everything, but the good
Lord saved my fine old shitter," said the 58-year-old bean farmer.
Hatfield was reported by rescue workers to be "whoopin' and hollerin'" in
the hours after the attack. "I'm gonna go take me a nice big dump," he
said, pulling a few torn sheets of newspaper out of the remains of his
pickup truck.

ACLU, Military Pledge to Continue Protecting U.S. Freedoms
WASHINGTON (DPI) - In separate but nearly identical announcements today,
both the American Civil Liberties Union and Secretary of Defense Donald
Rumsfeld pledged the continued commitment of their respective
organizations to "protect and uphold the freedoms that Americans so richly
appreciate." Both the ACLU and Defense Department's releases pledged
"unending vigilance in continuing this nation's history as a leader in
freedom and integrity." Also eerily similar between the statements were
the organizations' stated collective interest in "spreading the spirit of
political independence," "defense of the common good" and "maintenance of
the capacity to exercise free choice among all people."

SARS-Free Farming Town Drawing More Tourists Than Toronto
MUNSIE, Neb. (DPI) - While tourism has plummeted in Toronto in the wake of
the SARS epidemic, it has skyrocketed in this small midwestern town of
3,200. Using a catchy new marketing slogan, "Munsie: Still SARS-Free,"
this rural dairy-farming community is being overrun with hundreds of
thousands of tourists on a daily basis. Visitors are being treated to
still-untainted-by-a-terrifying-mysterious-disease-oriented attractions
such as Munsie's Gypsum Mining Museum, Hank's Reptile-O-Rama, and the
oldest Dollar Store franchise in the tri-county area.
