Happy National Character Counts Week!

I shit you not.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 15 through October 21, 2006, as National Character Counts Week. I call upon public officials, educators, librarians, parents, students, and all Americans to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha — gasp! — ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

No wonder he waited until this week to sign the torture bill! He just wanted to celebrate National Character Counts Week!

If anyone needs me, I’ll be in the fetal position in the corner, with bursts of maniacal laughter occasionally interrupting my mournful sobs.
