NORTH KOREA BUYS RIGHTS TO PUT TEXACO STAR ON FLAG, JUST TO "STICK IT" TO BUSH
CRESTFALLEN BUSH AGREES TO DROP NORTH KOREA FROM AXIS OF EVIL -- "JUST GIVE ME BACK THE STAR," HE PLEADS
PYONGYANG - North Korean President Kim Jong, II ratcheted up the hostilities between North Korea and the United States today by announcing that his country has added the famous Texaco star to its flag. The move was seen as retaliation against President Bush for refusing to remove North Korea from his so-called "axis of evil."
The Texaco star fits so nicely into the former blank white circle on the Korean flag that "it seems as though it had always been there," said President Jong.
Bush, former Governor of Texas, bristled at the news. "North Korea with nuclear weapons, that's bad enough. But this is the worst," said the President. "Tell Jong he's no longer part of the 'axis' -- I don't care if he keeps the weapons, just give me back the star."
