Secretary of Defense Promotes Color Coding System
Secretary of Defense Promotes Color Coding System




The Secretary of Defense Lewis Black held a press conference today to discuss the changes he's implementing to Homeland Security. The former Daily Show pundit and long-time friend of White House speech writer Stephen Colbert was in fine form as he discussed the past administrations and explained how he planned to defend the country.

"When I was little," Black said, "[the government] would come to my elementary school with films to show me how to protect myself from a nuclear-fuck-holocaust. They would show this giant nuclear-fucking-bomb just blowing the shit out of everything. Goats and monkeys flying everywhere. The windows of the elementary school blown out, the teacher banged up against the fucking blackboard. But there were the children... hiding safely under their desks.

"We're uh, we're not going to have that any more, because well, that's just a shitty system, and the therapy bills are killing the national surplus. Which is almost understandable, because, if you think about it, they had us hiding under kindling. But that was okay, because you know, we were safe. So then, after the attack, we could all go out to the playground and MELT! So -- no more of that.

"I know it's not good politics to talk about your predecessor, but well, Tom Ridge had the leadership qualites of a gerbil. He was a part of coming up with what is known as the color coded system of security. You know, orange, and yellow, and what ever the fuck the others are. And what's stupid about it is they have the color coding. LIKE WE'RE IN FUCKIN' ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!! There's no need for that. Because every time they tell us what the color is, then they have to fuckin' explain it, so get rid of the fuckin' color! Simplify it.

From now on there will be three levels of security: 'Jesus Christ.' 'God damn it!' 'FUCK ME!!"

After the press conference, Black took no questions, but was given a standing ovation by the White House Press Corps.

In other White House news, in what will come as a shock to no one, the Secretary of State Oprah Winfrey is denying allegations that she plans to run either for the presidency or for the vice presidency, most likely under Vice President Obama's ticket.

Readers will remember when President Clooney first denied allegations that *he* was planning to run for the presidency, and we all know how that turned out.



*All Lewis Black quotes taken from the absolutely stupendous Black on Broadway. I cannot recommend this DVD highly enough. Your life will be better for it. Hell, one year I just gave them away randomly like candy.

I didn't send you a copy of this DVD? I had like seven and was just giving them to people for "the betterment of society." Or something like that. Mostly so that when I started randomly quoting him people would know what I was on about.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot explain to you the depth of my love for Lewis Black. Secretary of Defense? IF ONLY!

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2006-09-28 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You love Lewis too? I love Lewis! I was listening to Black on Broadway this morning as I was getting ready for work, it's like putting on armour. I figure with Lewis as SoD, you know, since he actually knows what's going n and cares maybe we can fix some of this mess.

IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY HORSE, I WOULDN'T HAVE SPENT THAT YEAR IN COLLEGE.

Lewis is ridiculously awesome. I have the dvd of three years of Comedy Central standup specials, and some of his Daily Show Democratic/Republican convention coverage. And one of his CDs.

The man is brilliant!

These press releases are so awesome. As is Lewis Black, but I think that goes without saying.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2006-09-28 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Lewis the man. Not to be confused with The Man. Although, I suppose once he becomes SoD, he will be The Man, but in a good way ;)

I always loved that response.

My other favourite icon at the moment is this one - I'm just not rude often enough to get much use out of it! *g*

Have I said lately that I am loving this? Well I am. Loving this, that is. Every entry makes me cackle.

I am always glad to bring a little happiness where I can.

From now on there will be three levels of security: 'Jesus Christ.' 'God damn it!' 'FUCK ME!!"
Couldn't agree more.

I want to live in your Clooney-verse. ♥

I feel like that just makes things so much easier to understand, you know?

Me too!
