Revolutionary new project to drain Crater Lake and sell the water to Las Vegas

From the Water Wired Blog, this breaking news:

In an early-morning 1 April 2008 press conference the National Park Service (NPS) announced a novel plan to bottle Crater Lake water and also sell it in bulk to Las Vegas, a scheme that would finance the War On Terror (WOT), build the USA-Mexico border fence, resolve the sub-prime mortgage fiasco, fund Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare in perpetuity, and solve the NPS’s financial woes by endowing a national park trust fund. The plan, dubbed the Crater Lake Aqua Project (CLAP), will be implemented immediately by the Bush Administration under the guidance of Vice President Dick Cheney.

“CLAP will be the crown jewel in the tiara that is already President Bush’s legacy,” said U.R. “Bud” Uggley, White House spokesperson. “He is already known for WOT, No Child’s Left Behind, his memorable behavior during the Hurricane Katrina crisis, the Bear Stearns bailout, the Palestinian-Israeli Superhighway Toll Road to Peace plan, and the semi-solution to the sub-prime mortgage crisis. This will be his pièce de résistance - that’s French, by the way - I mean really big, and he will be fondly remembered for the CLAP,” he said. Uggley then introduced Ima Bedd-Wetter, newly-appointed NPS Director, who described the CLAP.
