Democrats Regrouping at Snow Base on Planet Hoth

HOTH (DPI) - Menaced by the growing power of the GOP and smarting from last
Tuesday's defeat, Democratic forces have regrouped at a secret base on the
remote ice planet Hoth. In response, GOP leadership has ordered probe droids
to blanket the galaxy to flush them out and, in the words of Cmdr.
Darth Lott, "put an end to this pitiful party once and for all." Led by
Al Gore-Kenobi and Tom Daschlewalker, Democratic leaders vow to be strong enough to
"pull the ears off a Gundark" by next election. Former Vice Presidential
candidate Joe Lieberman was last seen headed for the Dagobah system.

President Injures Self While Imitating Jackass Stunt
WASHINGTON (DPI) - Fresh on the heels of becoming the number-one movie at
the box office last week, the makers of Jackass: The Movie are under fire
yet again after President Bush injured himself while imitating a
stunt he had seen in the film. At a dinner with Naoto Amaki, the Japanese
ambassador to the U.N., the president snorted approximately three tablespoons
of wasabi in an effort to gain his support for the United States' coming
war against
Iraq. "The president was not seriously injured, but he'll be recuperating
for at least the next two days," said White House Press Secretary Ari
Fleischer. "Sadly, though, Japan now falls under the president's Axis
of Evil."

Man Unaware Why He's Wearing Awareness Ribbon
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (DPI) - As he dressed for work this morning, James Carver
pinned a green and white
ribbon onto his lapel. "I'll be damned if I can remember what
flavor-of-the-week cause this one is for," he
said. "Last month, HR had all of us wearing an
orange and green ribbon for something. I think it was
to support survivors of pancreatic inflammations. And
before that, we had one for homeless Alzheimer's
patients, or some crap like that. I don't even
know." While Carver acknowledged that supporting people in
need is important, he emphasized that it was even more
important to "not forget to wear the stupid ribbons."

Boogeyman Apprehended
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (DPI) - Ever since she was a little girl, April Mecham has
believed that the boogeyman was living under her bed. Yesterday,
32-year-old Lyle Donner was hauled out from beneath her bed and arrested
after he absentmindedly handed a dropped phone back to her. Police estimate
that he has spent much of the last 10 years under Mecham's bed. "To be
honest, I'm surprised she didn't catch me earlier," Donner told
authorities. "You'd think she'd hear my TV or smell me making French toast
under there. Hell, more than once, I'd pop up and grab her bong after she'd
had a few hits. If she hadn't been high most of the last decade, she'd
certainly have questioned all the pizza deliveries."

AOL Admits It Has Never Made Any Money
New York (DPI) - Internet provider America Online today revised prior earnings
reports and admitted that revenues for all previous fiscal quarters
totaled $0. "Although we didn't make any
money and lied about it, we still claim to have shipped over 132 billion
free CDs all around the world -- and that's billion with a B, people," said
an AOL spokesman.
AOL shares were up sharply on expectations that more free CDs may arrive
soon.
