Intriguing Homeland Security Initiative in Works

Disassociated Press -

New York City - Republicans and Democrats have finally agreed on a new project as part of a Homeland Security initiative. "With the Bat signal, we can call Bat-Man anytime now", George Bush explained to a pond scrum through an interpreter.

For some reason, Al Gore spoke on behalf of Democrats. "With this joint effort, we are telling idiot Americans that we can all get together invent imaginative agreements."

Not to be outdone, Howard Dean chimed in with his thoughts from Northern Vermont. "This is fine. But they should have added a Superman signal too." When told that Superman does not have an official signal Dean could only let out a loud, creepy yelp.

Democrats are divided on which super hero they prefer. Several other Democrats stepped forward but they may as well have been speaking Old English. We had no clue what they were saying.

The estimated cost of the new signal is approximately $24 million Canadian dollars. The Americans will take this idea to Parliament and present Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who is on vacation in the arctic learning to throat sing with the Inuit, with a plan to extend the signal to Ottawa.

"It'll be so cool," Bush concluded before ordering a hot-dog. "But does Bat-Man exist?" Moon Zuppa asked. Bush stared up to the blue-green sky and said, "I hope so. For our sake, I really hope he does."

Canadian officials could not be reached for comment. No one was around.
