"The president has always been a staunch advocate of domestic security, and this brave decision says to any potential burglar that if you want to get into his house, you are going to have an extra eight inches of fence to contend with," said White House press secretary Tony Snow.

    Snow continued, "Despite the fact that the White House has developed a reputation among burglars as a push over, this is no longer the case. If they want an easy job, they should just head on down to the Federal Reserve."

              Hey, why stop at 8 inches? Let's add a few feet. While they are at it, they should electrify the fence and put razor wire along the top. If you are going to do it, do it right... and also guard towers to keep an eye on those pesky protestors, and dogs... the dogs with bees in their mouth and when they bark they shoot bees at you...

                AAH, they tried that before, had to give it up, the grounds keeper kept getting bit by the dogs, although I heard it was because he kept trying to load them from the wrong end.

                  How come he wants more fence at the White House? He should move it down to the border...

                    You see, this goes back to his drunk and cocaine years when he was hiding from the draft his girlfriend told him that he'll never be a real man because he was "eight inches too small"!

                    He still can't follow a conversation.

                    Maybe a sign of paranoia for Mr. Bush, can you blame him after The Mayans gave him such a great send-off!!!

                      Considering that Bush got only 5% of the vote in DC last election, maybe he's finally getting the hint that the folks in his own back yard DESPISE him (and rightfully so).

                        Apparently they're not the only ones! He seems to be more and more despised throughout the world these days! I feat he is going to become the first real "man without a country" eventually...for all his crimes and cruelties, he may be destined to be a "man without a country!"

                          I wonder what he will do after office. Maybe he will move with Halliburton.

                          Look at the bright side. Maybe it is not to keep people out but to keep him in.

                            Now there's a thought. Now all we need is one around the Capitol.

                              That's a scary thought! 2008 isn't soon enough. I suppose the conservatives figure it's a slim chance to get another fella in for a minute, considering the Bush legacy, so fortifying to keep this one in pass an impeachment will work. I wonder if the Boys at the capitol, like the ones with the K Street Project and Jack Abramoff will put up a fence too?

                              when he addds 8 inches to his shwang, then we would have some real news, as by that time he would be a normal functioning male!

                                  Go figure? Bush puts up a higher fence and Haliburton is leaving the country. Is their something impending looming that they foresee? Are any gallows being erected?

                                  I can understand Haliburton, they will be investigated so what better way to hinder that investigation, move to a foreign land. Another Billion dollar scam like Republican ENRON where crime pays. Dickie doesn't swim in water, he swims in imported wine.

                                  Now Haliburton tax payments will also be substantially diminished so another good move. You acquire Billions in no bid contracts from a country and then shaft it at the same time. Excellent Republican move, real patriotic thinking.

                                  How much more must a country endure under this administration without change in the wind? I say two more years of this corruption cannot be tolerated, any pratical suggestions? I only see one but Democrats are without a qualified leader for actual change. Radical thinking in Washington must be a prerequisite to effect change.

                                    So far I sense from the many good comments that no one sees much humor in the article, but the reality of the mischief already caused by this administration. I too have my concerns about the next 2 years, and what havoc is planned next.

                                      It is a waste, even if someone did get over the fence they wouldn't get far.

                                        NelsonR made a comment a few posts back that satire is humor, but based on reality so I guess if people want to discuss the serious backdrop to my humorous post it's OK. I'd be happier if they just laughed but at least no one's getting angry.

                                            8 inches? As Armstrong put it, "That's one small step for a man".

                                                        My guess: Midget terrorists... in Radio Controlled airplanes. Follwed by a grizzly bear on a unicycle.

                                                        Midget terror threat level is now at Orange. May god have mercy on us all.
