YO! I can just barely balance my check book, let alone do any rocket science, but I think the following is just 'bout right.

DENSEST ELEMENT

A major research institution has just announced the discovery of the
densest element yet known to science. The new element has been named
"Bushcronium. " Bushcronium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 311.

These particles are held together by dark forces called morons, which
are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. The symbol for Bushcronium is "W."

Bushcronium's mass actually increases over time, as morons randomly
interact with various elements in the atmosphere and become assistant
deputy neutrons in a Bushcronium molecule, forming isodopes. This
characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to believe that Bushcronium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration.

This hypothetical quantity is referred to as "Critical Morass." When
catalyzed with money, Bushcronium activates Foxnewsium, an element that radiates orders of magnitude more energy, albeit as incoherent noise, since it has 1/2 as many peons but twice as many morons.

YO! One of my 'deceptive' friends sent the Densest Element bit to me. I'll give him a piece of mind. Thanks for setting me straight. But did you laugh?

OY!

I laughed. Stolen or not, it was good. Steal from the best, and ignore the rest.

Not really. I was already familiar with the earlier versions, and the Bushcronium changes eliminate the humor when the Democrats are in power.

YO, I agree, but it's less pertinent and less funny...and the Democrats don't have, yet, an Administration in D.C.; just the Republican'ts. But I'd vote for Chuck Hagel to be president, anyway. He's the John Kerry of the GOP.

OY!
