Two days after Vice President Sarah Palin was sworn in as President, after the sudden passing of President John McCain, she created a firestorm among the reporters gathered for her first official press conference.
"I want to annouce," she led off, "that an hour ago I gave Mr Putin, the true leader of Russia, an ultimatum: get out of Georgia and the entire Caucasus, or the United States Armed Forces will have no choice but to move in and force you out."
Reporters were shouting to ask quesitons, but President Palin's press secretary reminded them that it was to be a "no questions" announcement by the presdent.
"I believe that Russia today is as Godless as it was under the Communinsts," the president went on to say. "And there is no doubt that God wants us to take this stance and be brave."
The president also annouced that she would select the Reverend John Hagee of Texas as her vice-president.
Lost in the general excitement over the annoucement of a very dangerous confrontation with Russia were several of the president's other announcements:
That two divisions of US Marines invaded Cuba last night, and had established "viable beachheads" in that Communist island nation;
That she had issued an Executive Order to immediately shut down all abortion clinics;
That all producers and distributors of pornography be arrested and held without bond;
And that all those who are found to be using the Internet to gamble with bookmakers in foreign countries would be detained, with an unspecified number to be sent to re-eduction camps in the Rocky Mountains.
With the nation wondering and worrying about these ukases, the White House has reported that as of this hour President Palin is incommunicado and conferring with trusted advisors, in a "secure unindentified, underground location."
