Chatting with the prez

Does the President ever chat online with his mavens of environmental mischief, Interior Secretary Gale Norton and Environmental Protection Agency Director Christine Todd Whitman? What if… \nBushie1304: You there, Christie?\nSludge81: Yep, Pres. What's up?\nBushie1304: Just finished apologizing to the Canadian Prime Minister. Again. Some people can be pretty darn touchy. It was an accident, after all, and who's gonna have to save their butts if al Qaeda ever messes with Toronto?\nSludge81: I know what yr talking about. Those Canucks can't stop yakking about all the air "pollution" that keeps floating from our Midwest factories up to their forests. \nBushie1304: Guess they're scared something's going to happen to their precious oak trees. \nSludge81: Don't you mean maple trees?\nBushie1304: Yeah, that's right. Maple. lol.\nSludge81: :)\nBushie1304: They should see Texas. I mean, we haven't got that many trees down there, and it looks just fine. And who says you need maple for syrup? My mommy used Aunt Jemima, and I turned out just fine. And they can change the darned flag to a couple of hockey sticks. \nChainsaw901: Hey!\nBushie1304: Gale, what's the haps?\nChainsaw901: omigosh! I know this is going to sound awful, but 9/11 is the best thing to ever happen over here at interior. We're about to close some of the biggest deals ever on mining rights, logging rights and grazing rights in our national parks, and all the peaceniks are too worried about Afghanistan to protest my war on goody-two-shoes enviro-nuts. I mean, it's a tragedy, but as long as everyone is looking the other way, we can really make some money off all of this old growth stuff.\nBushie1304: I know what you mean about 9/11. It's a darned shame, but you should see what Johnny Ashcroft and I are getting away with.\nChainsaw901: ;) awesome. I wish I was having the same luck on drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve, a.k.a. the big wasteland with enough oil underneath to keep the nation going for a whole two months. But it looks like those blind idealists in the Senate have enough votes to at least temporarily halt my plans to drill, drill, drill.\nBushie1304: :( That's too bad. \nBoogieman10x: Darn tootin', it's too bad.\nBushie1304: Hey, John (Ashcroft, the Attorney General).\nBoogieman10x: The Senate is filled with a bunch of tree-hugging hippies who must be subverted or destroyed.\nBushie1304: Calm down, John.\nBoogieman10x: First we will install our own people in the Senate, then we will have them amend the Constitution to reflect the divine wisdom of the Old Testament and the more conservative highlights of the New Testament, and then we'll outlaw dancing. Darn it, I've got to get to a meeting with Mrs. Reagan. B4N.\nSludge81: Boy, that John is a character.\nBushie1304: Yr right. Remind me not to invite him to my wife's birthday party. She loves dancing. \nSludge81: :-0 omigosh, you guys, I just realized something. Isn't Planet Day this month?\nChainsaw901: You mean earth day?\nBushie1304: I dunno. We never celebrated in Texas. April was always reserved for Oil Day festivities.\nSludge81: I better look into this. I probably have to give a speech or something. CYAL8R.\nChainsaw901: Good luck, Christie. You can promise to save a species, if you want. I don't think it's too hard to change directions on that, in case we find out we need the habitat for a subdivision.\nBushie1304: :-) lol.
