BUSH DETERMINED TO PLAN NEXT CATASTROPHE
Will Be 'Catastrophic Success,' Says President

In a nationally televised address last night, President George W. Bush said
that Hurricane Katrina had taken him by surprise but promised the American
people, "As long as I sit in this chair, all future catastrophes will be
planned by me."

Attempting to reassure the country that he had a firm hand on the ship of
state, the president said, "If there is going to be a tremendous disaster
that impacts thousands or millions of American lives, then it is going to
happen on my schedule and on my terms."

Backing up his rhetoric with action, the president said he was going to make
disasters a top priority of his administration by creating a Cabinet-level
post, tentatively called Secretary of Catastrophe.

"It will be the Secretary of Catastrophe's job to devise, plan, and
implement all major disasters going forward," the president said.

While Mr. Bush did not indicate whether the next catastrophe would be of an
economic, foreign policy or ecological nature, he concluded with this
promise: "The White House will plan the next catastrophe and it will be a
catastrophic success."

But according to Dr. Ivan Peslow of the University of Minnesota, the
creation of a Secretary of Catastrophe, while well-intended, may result in
an unnecessary level of bureaucracy.

"The president has a lot of manpower, such as Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza
Rice and Michael Chertoff, who are already creating catastrophes on more or
less a full-time basis," Dr. Peslow said.

Elsewhere, Supreme Court nominee John Roberts said that an American's right
to privacy should include not having to answer questions before the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
