WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In one of the most shocking moves of his presidency, George W. Bush is on the verge of selling Hawaii to Japan, a leading Washington insider has informed Weekly World News.

"Basically, the President sees this as a quick and easy way to generate a huge bundle of cash," stated the source, an upper-echelon State Department official with close ties to Bush's inner circle.

"As everyone knows, the U.S. is in debt up to its eyeballs -- to the tune of more than $7.5 trillion. And thanks to the gigantic tax cuts Bush keeps giving the super-wealthy and big corporations, the government effectively has no income whatsoever. Bush figures that by selling Hawaii, he'll be able to pay off a sizeable portion of the national debt while generating funding for continuing military operations in Iraq, and quite possibly, a full-scale invasion of Iran."

The notion of selling large areas of American territory for profit was inspired by a 2004 cam- paign stop Bush made at an elementary school, according to our source.

"Sitting in on a fourth grade class where kids were giving oral reports on American history, the President was surprised to learn that in 1803, what is now the American Midwest was actually purchased from France for $15 million in a transaction called the Louisiana Purchase. That got Bush thinking that if the U.S. could buy enormous chunks of land from other countries, it could sell land, too, and maybe make a killing doing so."

It's a shame this isn't true because, as someone who lives in New England, we would be more then willing to let Bush sell New England to Canada! :)

24. what what, just sell off a piece, in the middle of a state,

to another country. lol. hawaii has way more chance. maybe bushie people will look at this in the morning, since i am sure he is asleep, and say ya. good idea. i can do anything. i am king

[susanna]

27. LOL.

My whole point is that Detroit was around under English and French occupation long before the NEW AGE PURITANS (my sig line for fundies with an attitude). Detroit has tons of French names: streets, parks, roads...we were actually built off the rough idea of Paris (a ring of roads surrounding the city proper).

I maintain that Detroit is a (semi) middle-aged America, while the mid-west are K-12. ;-)
