Matthew writes: NASA has announced today that the Spirit Rover has found evidence of naturally occurring Weapons of Mass Destruction in the crater that it is exploring.
“We know this is quite a bombshell, and frankly, it’s not what exactly what we were looking for, but we’ve found evidence of WMDs all over the surface of Mars.”
“Of course, we’ve only found trace amounts of rocky materials. But this same material, if accumulated in a large mass and ejected from the surface of mars towards earth, would cause major devastation to whatever area it hit. In fact, a large enough accumulation of Martian rocky material impacting earth could end life as we know it.”
In reaction to the news, President Bush has announced that he has ordered NASA to invade Mars, and is increasing funding for the space agency to develop and test the technology to do so.

Bush is just too easy a satire target to ignore. Anyone who'd declare a war on tourism is pretty much announcing an intention to run against Dan Quayle in the Comedian Hall of Fame's “best contribution to the art of comedy” category.
