Lieberman to Run as Turtle
When he lost the Connecticut Democratic primary, Senator Joe Lieberman vowed to continue on as an “independent Democrat.” Since then, insider polling has suggested that he would still lose against primary winner Ned Lamont, causing Lieberman to run, er swim, with another tactic.
“Joe will be running as a turtle,” said an aide to the Senator who requested anonymity. “He now wishes to be known as JoeMarineCritter.”

Israel: Wal-Mart, Not War
Much to the surprise of no one at CAP News, Israeli Development Minister Doron Moallem has announced that Israel’s recent incursions into Lebanon are not acts of aggression.
“We are merely clearing out the riff-raff for the world’s largest Super Wal-Mart,” said Moallem at a recent press conference. “It will be incredible! There will be a garden center, and a kosher delicatessen, and a Briss Palace �. We just closed that deal, actually.”
Israel has been breaking ground on the 55-square-mile super store over the past few weeks, which the international community has unfortunately been misconstruing as a military escalation against the terrorist group Hezbollah.

“See that little brown bar there? The longer it is, the worse her diaper is,” Corporal Brown says as he deftly manipulates the buttons on the small handheld device he holds. The device starts to gurgle and coo. “All set now, but boy, that was a nasty one. I forgot to bring her on patrol with me. Bad daddy.”

Jews Narrow Holocaust Gap
To the cheers of Jewish people the world-over, the Israeli Body Accounting Bureau (IBAB) has announced that for the first time in its history, Jews are starting to whittle away at the “Holocaust Gap”.
“Oy, we were in the hole pretty good after World War Two. 5.7 million? That’s a lot of Jews,” said David Ayoob, IBAB spokesman. “But we’ve slowly been chipping away at it, what with the 7-Day War, Massad secret assassinations, and now our war with Hezbollah.
“I’m pleased to announce that today, the gap stands at 5.6 million.”
