Prototypes of new wheel designs
By Bill Britton
Special to
TPN — After the resounding success of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), President
Obama has decided to launch a new effort to reinvent the wheel. Leading this
initiative will be former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, best known for having
put Skippy Peanut Butter on the menu for all state dinners.
The announcement
came during a routine news conference, when the President emphasized that “The
Chinese have been active in this area for several years. We don’t want America
to fall victim to a wheel gap, similar to the missile gap that surfaced during
the Cold War.” When Chuck Todd of NBC News reminded the President that the
missile gap was essentially illusory, the President shot back, “That’s ancient
history. Even Senator Ted Cruz has stated that roundness is not the ultimate
answer to wheel shape. His subcommittee is to hold hearings on the issue
beginning next week.”
Former
President Carter will be leaving his post as Honorary Chairman of the
International UFO Bureau in Dallas, Texas. “My work here is done,” said Carter.
“I’ll be giving a speech at the Roswell UFO Museum, then it’s off to Washington
to solve the mysteries of wheel shape. I’ve been around long enough to know
that there are no final answers, except for the wisdom derived from that
wheel-shaper in the sky, Great God Almighty Himself, or Herself, Itself, or Whatever.”
In related
news, Russian researchers are rumored to have found an alternative to “roundness”
for wheel shape. Russian president Vladimir Putin will announce the researchers’
findings after the grand opening of the Gulag Workers Resort in northern
Siberia but before the Sochi Winter Olympics begin in February. Putin is training
for judo competition in the 2016 Olympics in Brazil, where he hopes to extend
his record to more than 3,000 wins.
