The Toad a la Mode Committee for the Supression of Civic Discourse Presents an
Application for Admission to a Presidential "Town Hall Meeting"

Congratulations! You have been identified by an anonymous local Republican precinct captain as a party member in good standing, and an enthusiastic supporter of President Bush. If an independent background check verifies your complete devotion to the President, you may be eligible to attend his upcoming Town Hall Meeting on the future of Social Security.

a) Very worried; it is a ticking time bomb.
