Excellent!
Just what the doctor ordered after an afternoon's lecture writing.

Question: How many members of the Bush Administration does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer: TEN.
1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed; 2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed; 3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb; 4. One to tell the nations of the world that they are either for changing the light bulb or for eternal darkness; 5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for a new light bulb; 6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor and standing on a step ladder under the banner "Bulb Accomplished"; 7. One administration insider to resign and reveal, in detail, how Bush was literally "in the dark" the whole time; 8. Another one to viciously smear #7; 9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong light bulb-changing policy all along; 10. And finally, one to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing a light bulb and the country.
And after all is said and done, no one will notice that they never actually managed to change the light bulb.
