Bush Bounces Africa

Accra, Ghana – Oh swerve!!! After all the doing it took to postpone Valentine’s Day in honor of G.W. Bush’s arrival, the American premier announced today that he is canceling his trip until further notice… in order to attend to more pressing matters on US soil.
The news did not go down well with Ghana’s Mr. Kufuor and his cabinet. We’re told he found out about the cancellation while watching CNN. Our investigators asked an MP, speaking on condition of anonymity, how the president was feeling.
“Well, he’ll be nashing, come tomorrow,” said our source. “It’s like secondary school times, when everyone around you is getting cakes, champagne and chocolates on campus, and you are sitting sadly in the corner by yourself…just nashing.”
He clicked his tongue in sympathy for his chief.
“Kufuor thought they were closer than that.”
The American Embassy in Accra released a brief statement, promising to distribute hotdogs on 6th March, in honor of Ghana’s Independence Day, in an effort to stave off a possible breach in relationship. We asked a member of staff: Why the offering of meat?
“It’s our experience, in America, that there is nothing that a good, firm, six inches of beef cannot fix,” she replied. “And our government is really good at doling it out.”
