Bush Praises Harper on his Softwood

"Is that a toothpick in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

The Harpoville Post reports that Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harpo traveled to Washington today with a shinny new passpost, stating who he is, and a cheque worth 1.2 Billion made out to U.S. president G.W. Bush. News that G.W. was thankful for the funds but, a little put off when he found out the cheque was in Canadian funds and he would have to locate a bank somewhere in America that would accept an Canadian cheque.

The Harpoville Post has learned that the cheque was an incentive for the Americans to sign the softwood agreement they had earlier agreed to then reneged. This meeting with these two great Conservative heads of state took some six months to fit into G.W.'s busy schedule and has left Harpo sitting in his office on hold. When clearance was finally given a memo was issued to the P.M.'s office to make sure that Harpo doesn't try entering the U.S. without a passport.
