Power Outage Tied to Cheney Personal Excesses
The White House, home of the White, faced a major embarrassment this week when a release by the president’s private probe into the power failures of two weeks ago pointed to a most uncomfortable source—Dick. Indeed, Vice President Dick Cheney was singled out as the leading cause of the energy problem that left multiple states in periods of blackout. It ended a troubling week for the Vice President, whose office was accused of holding out information on an energy probe Monday by refusing to turn over documents vital to the investigation. The General Accounting Office reported the administration met with a succession of energy lobbyists, to the complete and total surprise of Americans everywhere, but the extent of corporate involvement in energy policymaking could not be verified without the documents withheld by the Vice President. The latest revelation of Cheney’s involvement in energy problems could adversely affect his position on the 2004 Republican ticket. The president’s probe, inserted deep inside the problem, made note of several private excesses that may have led to the undue strain on the northeastern power grids. Cheney officials confirmed Friday that the Vice President’s quarters in the White House is the only one plugged into the northeastern power grid, pointing out that the Vice President’s power needs “cannot be satisfied by the piddlin’-ass power grid currently supplying the D.C. area.” One of the power offenses Cheney is accused of includes the employ of an industrial-grade air conditioner used solely for the Vice President’s bedroom. Some say the personal air conditioner is the only 90-million BTU unit made for personal use. Vice Presidential spokesperson Canton Canby only responded to the allegation by claiming, “The VP likes to walk around naked.” Close investigation by the probe, under the guidance of Neilson “Soft Crust” Reilly, revealed that virtually nothing in the Vice President’s White House quarters were not temperature-regulated. His personal pool and hot tub were heated, and his private work-out room, never used, we can guess, was cooled. Documentation also proves the VP had his sauna air conditioned and his refrigerator heated, as the best way to keep balanced temperatures to all things. Personal assistant Canby did not find the temperature regulation obsession strange. “Well, maybe to the working man that sounds like an odd thing, but I know if I were doing work as important as the Vice President, I certainly wouldn’t want to be worried about how hot or cold my fridge needed to be to enjoy a frosty beverage when I got home from the Middle East or wherever he’s gone off to.” Among the more alarming findings of the probe were hospital-grade shock paddles. Canby, now sweating and in need of an industrial-strength air conditioner himself, found nothing odd about the frequently-used paddles, employed by the VP sometimes up to six times a day. “What? So you got to be dead to want a charge from those things? There’s no law says you got to be dead. The Vice President got used to the jump start you get from absorbing electricity straight into the body. There’s no law against it and at the time we weren’t under orders to conserve energy. Get off the guy’s back. Sometimes his heart needs a little warning blast to know to keep doing its job, if it knows what’s good for it.” Canby refused to answer further questions on the probe’s accusations, waiting to receive the results from a probe conducted by the Vice President’s wife, Lynn Cheney, under the objective to find out who left all these lights on in here. the commune news has decided to help out the energy crisis by no longer referring to it as an energy crisis, but as the president prefers, “a shortage o’ sparkage.” Ramrod Hurley… hmm. Yeah, we heard the question. Ramrod Hurley. Wow. We’ll have to get back to you on that.
