BUSH SENDS UNUSED TRAILERS TO MYANMAR
By R J Shulman
WASHINGTON – Saying he would not repeat the mistakes made when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, President Bush is sending unused trailers from Louisiana to Cyclone stricken Myanmar. “No one could have known the levies would break in Mar Vista,” Bush said, “but we are right on it as we will send them trailers over there and not charge extra for the Formaldyhyde.” A tragedy of major proportions, Cyclone Nargis devastated this south east Asian country formally known as Burma were more than 100,000 are feared dead.

Complicating matters, the Myanmar military Junta has been slow to allow relief workers into the country. “They would rather let their people suffer than get foreign aid from a country that is diametrically opposed to their ruling philosophy,” said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, “the US would never do that, you know, refuse help from Venezuela to bring cheap heating oil to old people freezing to death in Boston.”

Myanmar state run television showed Military Junta leader Than Shwe handing out aid to refugees in a well lit square in lower Rangoon. He said “Phak Thwa Chuk Brawn Ye,” which translates to “You’re doing a heck of a job Brownie,” apparently referring to Disaster Minister Soe Brown.
