Note from the editor
The Washington Boast is a destination on the World Wide Web where words are arranged in a manner conducive to laughter, mainly — other reactions are welcome, too. A news satire and parody publication, articles here are fictitious, however similar to real events. When public figures are mentioned, the corresponding story details are invented. In all other cases, any resemblance to actual persons, businesses or events is entirely coincidental.
