Skinny White Guy

ROME

The Secretary of State sent the Skinny White Guy to Rome to meet with Pope Benedict. His Eminence wanted to discuss the place of personal responsibility in American culture... or rather the lack of personal responsibility.

While he was at it, he delivered the bundle of cash the Pontiff won on the Superbowl. (He had five large on the Bears returning a kick-off for a touchdown)

MEANWHILE, IN THE BIG APPLE

Personal responsibility was two steps closer to extinction. The Mayor's ban on transfat ensured that ignorant New Yorkers would be protected from themselves and their propensity to ingest unsafe and unhealthy substances. Will pigeon protection soon follow?

And the State Senator from Brooklyn was doing his part to protect his constituents from themselves...

"Believe me you'll be better off without them... We know what's best. You elected us because we're smarter than you."









In a rare public display aimed at convincing skeptical New Yorkers, the Senator proposed an experiment...

"My block-head of a son-in-law is too dumb to remove his ear buds when he crosses the street. Watch what happens... you'll see I'm right."

Within hours it happened... The unthinkable...

LATER

"If we don't get him out of there, my wife will kill me... what a dumb idea. Why didn't someone warn me."

Back in Washington, the Skinny White Guy took personal responsibility for entertaining celebrities that come to town. It's the least he can do for his country.
