    ...Bush and Cheney are incensed that a 'suburb' of the USA would dare to snub him. Bush orders Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz to draw up plans to invade and occupy Canada with US Border Patrol forces.

    President Bush, in a press conference this afternoon remarked, "These are highly-trained men & women, fully capable of ousting an evil elected official.
