From The Onion:

Bush Calls For Panic

WASHINGTON—In a nationally televised address to the American people Wednesday night, President Bush called upon every man, woman, and child to spiral uncontrollably downward into complete and utter panic.

Speaking from the Oval Office, Bush assured citizens that in these times of great uncertainty, the best and only course of action is to come under the throes of a sudden, overwhelming fear marked by hysterical or irrational behavior.

"My fellow Americans, the time for running aimlessly through streets while shrieking and waving our arms above our heads is now," Bush said. "I understand that many of you are worried about your economic future and our situation overseas, and you have every right to be. Yet there is only one thing we as a nation can do in times like these: give up all hope and devolve into a lawless, post-apocalyptic, every-man-for-himself society."

Great piece.

My personal favorites are Paulson to Congress: You're Mine Now, Suckas, Senate Passes Puppies & Kittens Rescue Bill, and Sterilizations Skyrocket as Economy Crumbles.

I don't know about the real Bush, but you know what I like about the fake Bush discussed in the make-believe news? He's a president with a plan. It might not be a good plan, actually it's a pretty awful plan, but he has a plan. And that is enough to differentiate him from the real Bush. </sigh>

Would that be a MSF (Modified Stationary Panic) or a FBLS (Full Bore Linear Panic)? If you don't know the difference, then you need to read more Patrick McManus.
