[Newspoetry] George W. Bush Consists of Minute 10-Dimensional Strings

[Joe Futrelle]

Analysts seem unprepared for the revelation today
that U.S. president-elect George W. Bush
consists of trillions of minute strings,
vibrating in 10-dimensional space.

This coming from a panel of Nobel laureates
in phyiscs.  They say that the phenomenon we call
George W. Bush is merely a spaghetti junction of
converging probability fields.

"You mean there's some probability that George W.
Bush doesn't even exist?" Ted Koppel asks from underneath
incredulous eyebrows and a teetering hairpiece.

There is an awkward pause,

then the robotic voice from Stephen Hawking's
speech synthesizer answers, "well it's more complicated
than that ted".  He starts yammering about collapsed
wave functions and Schrodinger's cat and we cut
to a commercial.

The idea that George W. Bush is an improbable president
gains a foothold with some more Democratic pundits
who strain to make analogies between votes and quanta but
the enterprise runs out of steam after a day or two.

Then the news arrives about tiny magnetic crystals
in a meteorite, suggesting that George W. Bush
may have originated on Mars.
