In a bold new plan, rumors surfaced, that Bush is planning to create a “Great Gated Community” across the Mexican and Canadian borders. Through an unnamed email and at CBS, Counterjab learned Bush had resolved to take major strides in immigration reform. Rather than proceed with stricter immigration enforcement, Bush has instead, decided to seal up everything, keeping us safe from terrorists.
“This is utterly ridiculous. There’s no way we could get this proposal past the House of Representatives,” said an unnamed source at the White House. “This is a complete red herring. In fact, this email is highly questionable. We’re going to get to the bottom of this.”
Unfortunately, that isn’t the end of it.
Counterjab has also been informed of the recent release of memos and telephone transcripts, detailing the “Gated Community” plan. Speaking with a former unnamed producer at CBS, we were able to nail Bush to the wall. “We’ve got him on the run,” said the former unnamed producer. “This will cost the taxpayers a fortune. It’s only a matter of time before impeachment proceedings begin.”
The plan calls for a total construction of a great wall, resembling the Great Wall of China. According to the unsubstantiated memos and transcripts, the cost to the project totals a whopping 500 trillion dollars. That would reportedly require the immediate repeal of all tax cuts, with an additional tripling of tax increases to pay for the project. The idea comes in the wake of the failure in Iraq. The wall is said to be constructed of concrete, reinforced with rebar and splashed with brick veneer, giving it that ever so subtle hint of style.
“It’s a masterpiece,” said an unnamed former first lady. “I’d have it constructed at my home. I think the plan is brilliant.”
“If you can’t win the war, then we’ll just hunker down, build a wall and take a trip back to the nineties. After all, we were better off then anyway. With this economy, you’d be a fool not to," said a former unnamed great president, through unsubstantiated phone transcripts.
A statement released shortly afterwards by the White House, says that the plan is “appalling.” “This would require the immediate withdraw of all troops in Iraq to protect the borders during the building phase. We have no intention of doing that. We don’t know where these kinds of things surface. We have learned it came from somewhere in Texas.”
The troubling rumors, memos and phone transcripts suggest that the building phase begins in Arizona. Counterjab dug deeper with the unnamed former producer. “I don’t why they’re starting there instead of California. But quite frankly, you can’t blame them. No one wants to bother with California anymore.” She…I mean the unnamed producer giggled. “Even the Governator can’t save it.”
Counterjab also spoke with an unnamed Canadian Prime Minister. “I think this is a wonderful plan. Why bother with fighting the war on terror? Just build a wall. Of course we’ll have to talk with Bush. I hope this doesn’t affect outsourcing.”
“All indications are that outsourcing will continue. It will just leave America sealed up. Much like a bottle of 1996 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild wine, a most appropriate year,” said the unnamed Canadian Prime Minister.
We are pleased to bring this report to you, using the most informative and accurate information. Even though the email, memos and phone transcripts are unsubstantiated, we are going to regard them as accurate. We will, however, keep an open mind when reporting further on this story. We think it deserves all of our attention in the future.
In the opinion of Counterjab, it’s high time that Bush sobered up and acted responsibly in protecting the American people. After all, we shouldn’t be bothering with immigration reform when a wall will suffice. With the building of this wall, it’s only a matter of time before we have the recall of troops throughout the world.
“We’ll keep on top of that report, or we won’t call ourselves journalists,” said the Managing Editor at Counterjab. “I think this is a wonderful way to reach out to liberals…become non partisan as it were.”
Tough game for you guys coming up next week.
BTTT!!!!!!
There was a time when the United States was a net foreign creditor. Remembering the Golden Rule, if we call in our foreign loans, they might decide to call in theirs. Our net indebtedness is now more than 30% of our GDP and climbing at the rate of another 10% of GDP annually. It's a hell of a way to run a business.
"Bush is planning to create a “Great Gated Community” across the Mexican and Canadian borders. Through an unnamed email and at CBS, Counterjab learned Bush had resolved to take major strides in immigration reform."
Since government planning is an oxymoron, and almost everything government does ends up working backwards (all the incentives are backwards in a socialistic economy), the proposed wall would not keep anybody that wanted in, out. Worse, it might be very effective in keeping those who want to get out, in. As our country keeps digging itself into that great bottomless hole to China (Medicare and Social Security), under the Great Wall Plan, the Master Planners want to keep the few people willing to work for competitive wages out, and to lock in the few people with assets and/or portable income that are tired of being parasitized. Freedom is a wonderful thing. Is this a great country, or what?

Better line the wall with fast food outlets to make sure the guards show up for work. "Taco Wall" etc......
:)
Ping!
PONG
There have been a couple comments made about voting for Hillery out of pure frustration. No one here wants to see that thing elected. If there is any help to be offered her, it's this nonsensical, no enforcement illegal alien mess we have now and the GOP better realize it.
Most of us are "pro immigration". If you think this illegal invasion is economically helpful you don't believe any study done on this. The social, health and law enforcement costs are destroying our local economies. I'm sure you've read some of them.
Excellent piece. As usual. And, satire is a very effective way of getting people to wake up and pay attention.
Myself, I'm thinking writer 33, should be in a format that can be viewed by all of our fellow citizens.
Those were wonderful comments. I appreciate them more than you know. Thank you so much.
Although, viewing me can be extremely hazardous to the vision. :)
