Washington DC - April 1, 2009. The Supreme Court this morning, acting on a motion filed by the RNC has ordered a recount of the votes in Florida, New York, California, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wyoming. The result tips the balance in favor of John McCain who is now the President of the United States. Ex President Barack Obama did not return calls asking for comment. However, an unnamed source quotes him as saying "Thank goodness that's over."

Apparently McCain has disappeared! He was last seen driving a '72 Impala towards the Mexican border.
