Press: Obama To Turn Water To Wine

If President Obama can’t end the recession, he’s determined to do the next best thing: Help Americans forget about it for a few hours. In a 1,493-page draft of HB0.08, the president outlines a stimulus package that assures not just massive waste, but massive numbers of Americans getting wasted. In the Senate, similar legislation is being called The Bottoms Up Bill. From 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 15, water to every tap and fountain in the U.S. will be turned off, according to the bill. Instead, wine will flow from all warm water taps and beer from the cold taps. Fountains or other devices with only a button or one handle will provide the drinker a mixture of wine and beer/ April Fuhl , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here . (AP File Photo)

A Berry Picker e-mails: Perhaps it’s just me & my “semi-liberal bias”, but the whole thing seems in bad taste, and the last thing we need are people believing any of this (there’s enough of that going on every other day of the year) … I don’t think the date and the “APRIL FUHL” byline are enough. Guess time will tell.

Question: Do you think the traditional April Fool’s story in the Coeur d’Alene Press is funny? Or in poor taste?
