I'm not into politics but this cracked me up. I love the Onion :applause:

WASHINGTON—Organizers reported Sunday that the 44th White House Carnival was a rousing success, raising a record $800,000,066,845 for the federal government—$800 billion of which came from a dunk tank featuring former vice president Dick Cheney

HA! I'd donate $100 just to get to dunk Cheney. Although I'd probably aim for his forehead instead.:D

No, no. You don't understand. He knows stuff that I want to know, and obviously hasn't disclosed it yet. Clearly a case for "advanced interrogation techniques".

fine, then you water board him, and when he comes up for air, I'll pepper him. :cheers:

If he loved his country (and could raise this kind of coin doing so) he should do his duty and make this a reality.

Honestly though, I would feel intensely weird throwing to dunk any VP. I bet I would be so nervous I'd never hit the buzzer. Then again, maybe it's all those nervous misses that raised the figure to such a high level.
