Jenna and Tonic
Jes' Like Daddy
TWINS CITED
By Jay O'Three

AUSTIN, TX - 5/31/01 Both daughters were cited here late today for alcohol related misdemeanors. Barbara, trailing her twin sister by about a month, was cited for underage posession while Jenna was cited for using a FAKE ID! Although we at PresidentMORON.com. do not in any way endorse the artificially high drinking age, and certainly hold nothing against drunken teenage girls, we nonetheless feel compelled to speculate that Jenna must have more in common with her intellectually challenged father than a penchant for drink.

ALL IN THE FAMILY - DAUGHTERS OF MORON KEEPIN IT REAL
By HSRE Brain

AUSTIN, TX - 5/31/01 Keeping up with strong MORONIC family values is always toughest on the youth, but first twins Jenna and Barbara,II seem to have taken their lessons well from their party boy father President MORON, as they were busted last night attempting to order margaritas with a fake ID at Chuy's, a local Tex-Mex restaurant. The latest incident came only two weeks after Jenna was sentenced to eight hours of community service, a six-hour alcohol awareness course and $51.25 in court fees for her previous underage drinking bust. However, since the Austin PD did not actually witness the incident and the Secret Service were asleep outside the restaurant, it remains doubtful that any charges will be filed as they are the daughters of President MORON, whose family has a long track record of covering up and denying the truth about his own extensive substance abuse. In a related story, Jenna has bravely completed her court ordered community service by toiling for a whole day doing clerical and research work at the Mexic-Arte Museum in Austin, and although she has not taken the alcohol awareness course yet, she appears well on her way to full awareness of the wonders of tequila and beer. Next up, jello shooters and grain alcohol punch.

PRESIDENT MORON ANNOUNCES NO ENVIRONMENTALISM FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
By HSRE Brain

SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK, CA - 5/30/01 Self-proclaimed 'compassionate conservationist' President MORON today moved his lips and officially introduced his program of "no environmentalism for the 21st century". While asserting a commitment to 'a nation of fresh air, clean water and natural beauty', President MORON apparently forgot that in the first three months of the MORONICON he appointed James Watt protegee Gail Norton as Secretary of the Interior, one of his first executive orders threw out the federal controls on the amount of arsenic that can be dumped in drinking water by mining companies, he reneged on a campaign promise to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions from power plants, he dumped the Kyoto Treaty on greenhouse gases, and his POOP proposed drilling in ANWR and other sensitive national lands while building new nuclear and coal burning power plants. He also failed to mention that his budget package calls for a one-year moratorium on the Endangered Species Act, and cuts the enforcement budget of the EPA.

Standing in front of an ancient Sequoia tree, ironically still around due to federal protection, the first MORON declared "Mandates from Warshington concerning the environment are now themselves endangered species. My 'No Environmentalism' is a new faith-based commitment to protectin' the environment through the unselfish cooperation of your local developers, property owners, chemical and energy companies, and timber and mining industries."

MORON hugging Jones

ANNAPOLIS, MD - 5/29/01 President MORON gave a commencement speech at Annapolis Naval Academy today inducting another crop into McMORON's Navy.

GO WEST YOUNG MORON
By HSRE Brain

LOS ANGELES, CA - 5/29/01 With his approval rating plummeting and recession looming in the world's eighth largest economy, President MORON traveled to the Golden State today to personally rub POOP in Governor Gray Davis' face, and it only took twenty minutes to 'doo' it. Earlier in the day, the Commander-in-Thief ordered marines at Camp Pendleton to turn down their air conditioners and canceled Friday Night at the Movies in a token effort to appear concerned over the plight of Californians at the mercy of Big Electricity. In addressing the soldiers, President MORON dropped another load of POOP by calling on Congress to provide $450 million dollars to further line the pockets of energy producers under the guise of low-income energy relief, and continued his mantra that the tax cut for the wealthy will negate the price gouging of Texas power producers. The MORON denied reports that he had been ignoring California, stating "I know it may appear that I have been snubbin' Kalifornyans since I was given this office, but I have had an active role in seein' that they pay for votin' for my opponent last fall. I have no intention of imposin' price controls on any of my friends in energy or oil and I frankly don't need Kalifornya. There will be six or seven Supreme Court justices in my pocket by 2004 to ensure the continuin' illegitimacy of my presidency."

Fifty to Forty-Nine to One
Game Over for the Banana Republicans
PRESIDENT MORON'S HOUSE OF CARDS COLLAPSES UNDER ITS OWN WEIGHT
By Jay O'Three

BURLINGTON, VT - 5/24/01 Finally following through on his threat, Vermont Senator Jim Jeffords has single handedly derailed the most destructive political juggernaut of the last twenty years. Declaring himself an Independent, Jeffords said he could not go along with the MORONic agenda. So, while the Republicans took for granted their locks on the Supreme Court, the House of Representatives, and the White House, they were unable to hold on to the fourth Ace in the Hole, the Senate! It was not so much a Democratic victory as it was a Banana Republican defeat. We now have direct evidence that President MORON is not a uniter, but rather a divider, having threatened to punish Jeffords for his opposition to the original tax cut by cutting off the dairy subsidy for his constituents. Now bipartisanship will have to mean more than just Big Oil and the Religious Right. That is a new tone in Washington.

CAMPAIGN REFORM, TEXAS STYLE
By HSRE Brain

WARSHINGTON, DC - 5/23/01 More than 2,000 Banana Republican donors gathered last evening at the National Guard Armory for a huge black-tie fund-raising gala honoring President MORON and his heroic stint in the Guard during the war in Viet Nam. Heeding President MORON's recent usurpation of the war on poverty, the Grand Old Petrochemical party raised a record 23.9 million dollars of soft money by charging $1,500 per person to $20,000 for a corporate table and serving guests ample portions of vegetable Napoleon, horseradish -crusted tenderloin with a shallot merlot sauce, asparagus, five-onion risotto cake and key lime pie. "It's a great way to buy access to our politicians and it beats barbecue" said a spokesman for Texas-based Reliant Energy, one of the "Team 100" group of $100,000-plus donors who own President MORON.

In a related story, deputy chairman of the gala committee Bill Gunlock, an Ohio "businessman", was fined $30,000 after he pleaded no contest to money-laundering charges in 1993 involving $12,000 in campaign donations to the local Banana Republican Party. This time Mr. Gunlock agreed to raise at least $100,000 for the presidential dinner on Tuesday and try harder to avoid prosecution.

SENATE PASSES TAX CUT BILL
By Jay O'Three

WASHINGTON, DC - 5/23/01 The wealthiest one percent of Americans who pay twenty-one percent of income taxes are going to receive forty-three percent of the one point three trillion dollars of tax relief passed today. You on the other hand, will not get enough to cover one tank of DICK Cheney's three dollar a gallon gas.

JEFFORDS CHANGES HIS MIND ABOUT CHANGING HIS MIND?
By Jay O'Three

WASHINGTON, DC - 5/23/01 Jim Jeffords has now said that he will wait until tomorrow to announce his change of party. He also retracted his promise to vote against the tax cut. Republican forces are pressuring him, and he is going to retreat to Vermont to avoid their reprisals.

MORON with Jeffords
President MORON unclear on the concept that Jim Jeffords is leaving the Republican Party
JIM JEFFORDS EMERGES FROM THE ETHER
By Jay O'Three

WASHINGTON, DC - 5/23/01 Having just developed a conscience, Vermont Senator Jim Jeffords has called for a news conference here today at 2:00PM where he is expected to announce that he has left the Republican Party and declared himself an Independent, thus wresting the Senate from the hands of President MORON's party. He has also indicated that he will not be supporting the tax cut for the very wealthy. This move was obviously precipitated by his daily reading of this web site, PresidentMORON.com. They didn't even make it to the mid-term elections. All committees will now change hands, and Trent "The Cheerleader" Lott will be carried away in irons. When asked for comment, President MORON said, "Huh? Didn't Clarence Thomas already settle all of that? You'd think we would have outlawed Democrats by now, DICK Cheney is going to have my head!"

ELEVENTH HOUR CONVERSION OF JIM JEFFORDS SAVES NATION
By HSRE Brain and Jay O'Three

WASHINGTON, DC - 5/22/01 Today, a nation hopes and prays for the impending epiphany of the Republican Senator from Vermont, Jim Jeffords. Private mints are busily scrambling to issue the new Democratic Majority Ultra-Deep-Cameo Coin in honor of the first truly commemorative moment of the twenty-first century. A spokesman for these mints, when asked to comment on the commemorative issue, said, "We anticipate reinstating all workers laid off during the MORONICON! This couldn't have come at a better time. Although Jeffords did a one-eighty, orders can be placed for the new three hundred sixty degree coin."

THE DICK'S BACKSTAIRS FUN-RAISER
By HSRE Brain

WARSHINGTON, DC - 5/22/01 The DICK Cheney threw a surreptitious party for 400 of his closest "friends" last night at his taxpayer-owned residence as a prelude to President MORON's $20 million money raising gala set for this evening. Refusing to release to the public a list of the "guests", which included energy-industry lobbyists the DICK denied any resemblance to similar fund-raisers which Banana Republicans repeatedly jumped up and down screaming about during the Clinton Administration. Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, (R-Miss), one of the leading critics of Clinton fund-raising activities, declined all calls for an investigation this time around because he is "sure it's being done in an appropriate way, or Dick Cheney wouldn't be doing it." Apparently, all MORONICON actions and practices are now immune from Congressional inquiry if it's a DICK thing. RNC spokesman Trent Duffy further commented "It's not a fundraiser if you've already paid for the presidency. These people have bought the right to party on the taxpayer's tab."

YALE DISCREDITS ITSELF WHILE ACCREDITING PRESIDENT MORON
By Jay O'Three

NEW HAVEN, CT - 5/21/01 In a pathetic display of pandering, Yale University today awarded President MORON an honorary doctor of laws degree. Their explanation was that nepotism is the only form of discrimination they are still allowed to practice. Apparently flouting the law is now regarded as equivalent to studying it. Following the travesty, President MORON gave a commencement address rife with what were supposed to be humorous references to his poor academic performance there. However, instead he once again proved that just because he is in on the joke doesn't mean that the malevolence his bumbling masks is any less real or any less harmful. The only laughter produced by the entire episode came when deans at Yale handed out diplomas to the rest of the graduating class after having just rendered such documents essentially worthless.

PRESIDENT MORON ORDERS ADMINISTRATION TO SPARE NO SPECIES
By Jay O'Three

CONESTOGA, PA - 5/18/01 In a demagogic speech at a hydroelectric plant here today, President MORON promised that his administration would do everything in its power to implement his supervisor, The DICK Cheney's POOP plan. Promising that no endangered species will stand in the way, and no pristine wilderness will remain untouched, he ordered all administrators to rubber-stamp any energy related request with particluar prejudice against environmental concerns. "The time has come to rape the land, foul the waters and darken the skies! I am personally going to kill some endangered woodland creatures to demonstrate my resolve. Tree huggers, beware, you're on the list!" President MORON remarked.

PRESIDENT MORON - DOODIE CALLS
By HSRE Brain

ST. PAUL, MN - 5/17/01 President MORON dumped The DICK Cheney's "Petrochemical Ownership Of Presidency" (POOP) plan on Amerker today, which surprisingly calls for the production of more natural gas, building nuclear plants, and drilling more oil wells on national lands including ANWAR. Another sizable lump of POOP proposes reducing bothersome environmental regulations to encourage the burning of more coal. The MORON called this fabricated energy constipation the most serious crisis for his family since the oil embargoes of the 1970s, despite the fact that world supplies are adequate and reasonably stable, price fluctuations are cyclical, and reserves are plentiful. President MORON told the nation "There are no short term, easy solutions to wiping out this stain on Amerker. My POOP is a sane national plan which will enable our energy producers to dump a load on Amerker this year and every year of my administration."

THE DICK: "ENERGY POLICY WILL FEED MY GREED"
By Jay O'Three

WASHINGTON, DC - 5/17/01 Finally revealing the much vaunted energy plan today, President MORON announced that it would not gather dust. Declaring it an action plan for his action administration, he promised to get right to work doing what The DICK said. The DICK Cheney commented, "Citizens with lower incomes who won't get tax cuts can use the tax cuts for the wealthy to fill their gas tanks, it's just simple math. People in the petrochemical and energy industries are going to reap the greatest windfall this nation has ever seen! When President MORON said this was an action plan, he certainly didn't mean helping Californians or controlling gas prices! What he meant, and I can speak for him, I put the words in his mouth, was that we will continue our relentless destruction of the environment and consumption of all natural resources with impunity!" At this point, The DICK got so excited that he had to shut up to avoid another heart attack.

ASSCROFT PRAYS WHILE DOJ PREYS
By HSRE Brain

WARSHINGTON, DC - 5/16/01 The Warshington Post reported yesterday that President MORON's uncontroversial Attorney General John ASScroft begins each day at the Department of Justice with a reading from the Bible followed by a discussion and a prayer that God will lead them to the bad guys. The ASScroft maintains that the blatant injection of his religion into the agency does not in any way conflict with the annoying Constitutional requirement of separation of church and state, notwithstanding the fact that participation by employees is on the taxpayer's dole. "I'm grateful to the American taxpayer for permitting my God's divine intervention and guidance in the Justice Department."

In a related story, the ASScroft has ordered the words "pride" and "proud" be stricken from all his correspondences, because his Dad forbade the use of the words as an affront to the benevolence of God, and ASScroft has also purged the phrases "no higher calling than public service" and "innocent until proven guilty" from their use at Justice.

MORONICON REJECTS MERE THOUGHT OF ENERGY PRICE CAPS
By HSRE Brain

WARSHINGTON, DC - 5/14/01 President MORON and the Banana Republican leaders continued their assault on Amerker Sunday by rebuffing California Governor Gray Davis' plea for rational controls on energy prices, saying price caps do not make any corporate ecomomic sense. Gov. Davis' call came after it was revealed that companies such as Texas based Reliant Energy were gouging California at a rate of $1,900 per megawatt hour, which a year ago would have cost just $30, and that the top three oil companies in America reported more than $10 billion in profits in the first three months of this year. A White House spokeswoman told reporters "Price caps will lessen profits for companies such as Reliant, Exxon and the others who paid for President MORON's election fairly and squarely." In a related story, former California Republican Governor Pete Wilson, the architect of the present electricity crunch, admitted to reporters that de-regulation at the time he promoted it was indeed fatally flawed but he left it up to his successor to "figure it out."

ASSCROFT DODGES ANOTHER BULLET
By Jay O'Three

WASHINGTON, DC - 5/11/01 Just as in the James Kopp arrest reported here two of Attorney General John ASSCROFT's most cherished beliefs almost collided. ASSCROFT, a state sponsored murder enthusiast was expected to execute Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber on Wednesday May 16. However, as ASSCROFT also fully supports the redneck agenda, he already regards McVeigh as a martyr in waiting. Now, fate in the form of further FBI incompetence has stepped in once again. At a press conference here today ASSCROFT announced a delay in the execution and pay-per-view event until June 11, to allow time to review some three thousand documents which surfaced yesterday during the process of archiving material at the FBI. When asked for comment, President MORON said, "Gee, in Texas we jes' threw a switch! I don't know about all this paperwork stuff, I only hope I'll be able to get through all pending executions before they throw me out of here! I was only able to sign a hundred and fifty-two death warrants in Texas, McVeigh is still sixteen ahead of me!"

JEB PERFECTS TALKING OUT OF BOTH SIDES OF HIS MOUTH
By Jay O'Three

TALLAHASSEE, FL - 5/9/01 Governor Jeb has moved one step closer to the perfect duplicity evidenced by his MORONIC brother. While asserting that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Florida electoral system, he nonetheless signed a bill today to spend thirty-two million dollars to reform that system. Although he and "friend" Katherine Harris were able to manipulate the system, reject thousands of valid votes, delay recounts, apply inconsistent standards, and ultimately declare President MORON the victor while admitting that they did not know the real outcome, apparently that just wasn't good enough. Yesterday, it came to light that in two counties optical scanners found over five thousand ballots that should have been recast, but the five thousand voters were denied that right and summarily disenfranchised because it was "inconvenient." Yet, this "technology" has been chosen for deployment statewide. From now on, minority voters won't have to be intimidated and elderly voters won't have to be misled. They will just become inconveniences. This new system will allow them to leave the polls secure in the knowledge that their votes didn't count.

THE DICK URGES A FRESH LOOK AT NUCLEAR POWER
By Jay O'Three

WASHINGTON, DC - 5/8/01 In an interview on CNN today, the DICK said increasing the supply of energy would be the solution to America's energy needs. Having already dismissed conservation out of hand and insulting anyone involved with conservation efforts, he picked the one and only industry more harmful to the environment than his beloved petrochemical industry as the solution. He stated that Americans need to take a fresh look at nuclear power which he described as "safe" because it does not emit CO2. Apparently, awareness of his own mortality is the reason why to this day he has offered no suggestion as to how to store nuclear waste for over one thousand years. He said, "Since I will probably not even last through one term, I couldn't care less about the future. They'll never build a nuke in MY backyard! Besides, I am raking in huge profits from my oil investments. I feel perfectly entitled to exploit my office for personal gain, after all that is exactly why President MORON and I were elected with such a clear mandate in that landslide victory last December 12th."

PRESIDENT MORON'S NO HARRY POTTER
By HSRE Brain

WARSHINGTON, DC - 5/7/01 After solving the alleged energy crisis in California last week, PRESIDENT MORON asserted today that he is helpless in controlling fuel prices which are expected to rise to unprecedented levels over $3.00 per gallon this summer. Claiming there is no short term solution, he instead asked the country to "hold on" for another ten years or so until The DICK's corporate sponsored energy plan of domestic exploration and more refineries kicks in. White House spokesman Ari Fleischer told reporters "President MORON has no magic wand that he can wave over gas and oil companies and make them cut back on their highest profit margins in years. Americans will simply have to spend their share of President MORON's tax cut at Texaco."

PRESIDENT MORON PISSES OFF UNGRATEFUL WORLD
By HSRE Brain

WARSHINGTON, DC - 5/7/01 Secretary of Defense Donald "Duck" Rumsfeld accused the rest of the world of being ungrateful and unappreciative of the United States on NBC's "Meet The Press" Sunday morning. His MORONIC statement was in reply to a question about the recent ouster of the United States from the U.N. Human Rights Commission in an apparent reaction to President MORON's foreign policy, or lack thereof, while ungrateful countries like Cuba, Sudan and China retained their seats on the Commission. In a related story, a U.S. Air Force RC-135 resumed surveillance flights along the Chinese coast today.

PRESIDENT MORON CELEBRATES CUATRO DE MAYO
By HSRE Brain

WARSHINGTON, DC - 5/04/01 President MORON today held the first ever celebration of Cinco de Mayo at "Mi Casa Blanca" on May 4. Commenting on President MORON's plan to provide a Spanish version of his weekly radio address tomorrow, spokesman Ari Fleischer really told reporters "He said he hopes he doesn't butcher the Spanish as badly as he has the English", proving once again that these MORONIC news stories write themselves.

PRESIDENT MORON UNVEILS T-BALL INITIATIVE
By HSRE Brain

WARSHINGTON, DC - 5/04/01 Having apparently achieved his goals of a tax break for the wealthy and fixin Social Security and the energy crisis, President MORON turned to more important matters and constructed his own field of dreams - a Little League T-ball field built by White House groundskeepers on the South Lawn. Lamenting that he missed the only real job he has ever had, baseball owner, President MORON enacted the "T-ball initiative" and is now set to challenge the country's best six year olds in Amerka's national pastime. "T-ball is great because you don't have to pitch the ball, you just hit it off a tee. So I won't have to embarrass myself again throwin out the first pitch. Its also an important foreign policy program. Its important to start our kids off early enough so the Chinese don't win anymore Little League Championships." Next up - kite flying on the Ellipse.

PRESIDENT MORON SOLVES CALIFORNIA ENERGY CRISIS
By HSRE Brain

SACRAMENTO, CA - 5/03/01 After criticizing Wilsonian de-regulation, refusing to curb price gouging by out-of state energy barons, and ordering the DICK "no conflict of interest here" Cheney to 'study' the problem, President MORON has stepped up to the plate and solved California's energy crisis. However, instead of actually visiting the state where he was clobbered in the fall, the First MORON announced that he is sending Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham to California to tell federal employees to use less electricity. "California only has about 12% of the Amerkin population so I figured if the fedral gov'ment turned off some lights when they go home, problem solved, or at least for now until we start oil drillin' in Monterey Bay and buildin' more nukuler plants." he proudly proclaimed.

BOTTLENOSED DOLPHINS SURPASS PRESIDENT MORON
By Jay O'Three

NEW YORK, NY - 5/2/01 Researchers announced in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that bottlenosed dolphins are capable of Mirror Self-Recognition or MSR. This is an advanced cognitive ability once thought to be found only in higher primates. This also places the bottlenosed dolphin head and shoulders above President MORON who does not see himself, but rather a confused hodgepodge of former Republicans and teleprompter cues when he looks in the mirror. Diana Reiss of Columbia University and Lori Morino of Emory University used dolphins at the New York Aquarium to demonstrate the behavior here today. "The fact that this higher cognitive function can be found in non-primates adds weight to the possibility that it might also be absent in some MORONic primates," Reiss observed.

PRESIDENT MORON A FIXIN SOCIAL SECURITY
By HSRE Brain

WARSHINGTON, DC - 5/2/01 Like a freight train coming down the mountain without its brakes, President MORON today continued his assault on the middle class by tapping AOL Time Warner executive Richard Parsons to lead a commission to recommend the privatization of Social Security. Although the 16-member panel is supposed to "study" the idea, President MORON's hand-picked members are already clearly in favor of allowing Social Security payroll taxes to be invested in the stock market. In support of his decision, President MORON commented "I truly believe that investin' Social Security funds in AOL, Tosco, and Duke Energy will at the very least save retirement for me and my wealthy friends."

FREEH CAUGHT WEARING HOOVER'S WARDROBE
By Jay O'Three

WASHINGTON, DC - 5/1/01 In an announcement that stunned all but the most influential insiders and disappointed President MORON, FBI Director Louis Freeh said that he will be leaving his post in June at a gathering of all Regional Directors here today. Fearing the villification that followed J. Edgar Hoover when his cross-dressing was exposed, Freeh denied owning a red evening gown and matching high heeled pumps. He explained that his tenure had been marked by candor, and he was not about to stop now. Reminding agents that he had failed to stop Tim McVeigh, wrongly accused Richard Jewell, falsely accused Janet Reno of collusion in White House fund-raising, allowed Eric Robert Rudolph to escape, burned down the house in Waco, and falsely accused Nuclear Scientist Wen Ho Lee, Freeh stood tall and proclaimed the FBI the best little law enforcement agency in Washington, D.C.

McMORON'S NAVY PRACTICES BOMBING U.S.
By HSRE Brain

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO - 5/1/01 In order to "get it right", McMORON's Navy resumed practice bombing of its own citizens Monday on the tiny island of Vieques following a day of rest on Sunday. Despite objections by Puerto Rican officials that the blasting is unsafe for the island's 9,000 residents, McMORON's Navy has scoffed at the idea that regular noise levels measuring over 190 decibels produced by the shelling are somehow unhealthy. Hundreds of Democrats have been arrested for protesting the bombing, including Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Il (blue state), Robert Kennedy, Jr., and Edward James Olmos. When asked about the barrage and possible health problems, President MORON replied "I learned in school the other day that Puerto Rico is not a state at all, but a protectorate. So, we need to practice protectoratin' them. The rights of a few folks who can't vote and don't pay taxes is a small price to pay for trainin' our soldiers to get it right."
