Raising Money

The Onion has a great plan, presented in the form of a humorous news article, to raise capitla so the US can afford to fund its bailout plan - build a carnival style "dunk tank" and replace the clown with Dick Cheney. I'm sure the former Vice-President would oblige, since he loves the country so much.

Here's the first paragraph which you can click on to link to the Onion piece.

WASHINGTON—Organizers reported Sunday that the 44th White House Carnival was a rousing success, raising a record $800,000,066,845 for the federal government—$800 billion of which came from a dunk tank featuring former vice president Dick Cheney.
