which I am sure that some of you have already seen, but since everywhere you turn one must donate something...

 A lobbyist, on his way home from work in Washington, D.C., came to a  dead halt in traffic and thought to himself, "Wow, this seems worse  than usual."
 He noticed a police officer walking  between the lines of stopped cars,  so he rolled down his window and  asked, "Officer, what's the hold-up?"
 The officer replied, "The  President is depressed, so he stopped his motorcade and is threatening  to douse himself with gasoline and set himself on fire. He says no one  believes his stories about why he didn't react to Katrina the way he  should have, why we went to war in Iraq, or the connection between  Saddam and al-Qaeda, or that his tax
cuts will help anyone except his  very wealthy friends. So we're taking up a collection for  him."
 The lobbyist asks, "How much have you got so far?"
 The officer replies, "About 14 gallons, but a lot of folks are  still siphoning."
