Washington, D.C. - Corks popped and streamers flew as the Bush administration gathered in the Red Room to celebrate the death of the 500,000th Iraqi civilian. “I was thinking of doing something special for the family,” Bush said. “You know how if you’re the millionth shopper, you usually get something? I was thinking of doing something like that to show 'em that we are compassionate folk.” Dick Cheney added, “The celebration might be a little premature. There are some doubts as to the accuracy of the count. A few kids we bombed in a nursery school in Anbar Province might have survived.”
