NEW BUSH PLAN STIMULATES OHIO ECONOMY
By Stockton
The President and his "Turning the Corner, Still Looking for WMD's and The Buck Stops at the CIA" Tour Blitzkrieged through Ohio over the weekend. Thousands flocked to catch a glimpse of the leaders of the Free World.
"He's a great man," said John Ellis. "He's doing a great job. Just look at that firm resolve!" Ellis, unemployed since July of 2001, has been looking for work for three years. "I know we're stuck in Iraq and I know there aren't none of those WMD's they promised." Still, Ellis can sympathize with the President. "I know how that feels. I can relate. I told my wife that I'd find a job. I know there's a job out there but I'll be damned if I can find it. My buddies tell me that those jobs might have been smuggled out of the country, just like those WMD's." Ellis, unemployed, without healthcare and with family members in Iraq is just thankful Al Gore wasn't elected. "Can you imagine where we'd be if Gore was in there?"
Ellis and friends, just thankful Gore's not in the White House
"I'm thrilled," said Edna Wollowitz, the candystore owner. "Now alls I need is ninety-five thousand more sales like that."
Bush planned on speaking with reporters in Dover, but spent the afternoon trying to get marshmellow and caramel out of his hair.

While in Dover, Ohio, President Bush unveiled his new economic plan. "We're doers with results," the President said as he walked into a candy store ready to stimulate the economy.
At a candy store in downtown Dover, Bush bought six chocolate-covered caramels "150 calories a bite," he joked, six marshmallow candies and a bag of caramel corn. Total bill: $1.50. He stopped later in the day at Cabela's, a super-sized outfitter's store in Triadelphia, W.Va. "I've come by because first I love to hunt and fish," Bush told several hundred employees. "Secondly, because I heard you're expanding the job base here."
"I'm thrilled," said Edna Wollowitz, the candystore owner. "Now alls I need is ninety-five thousand more sales like that."
