Bush requesting $75 billion for war costs, $6 for Big Mac value meal

President Bush intends to ask Congress for $75 billion dollars to pay for the war in Iraq and another $6 so he can run over to McDonalds and buy a Big Mac value meal.
The $75 billion covers a six month period and includes combat, stabilization and withdrawal. The lesser amount will pay for a Big Mac hamburger, large fries and a large Coke. Ketchup, napkins and a straw are included at no cost.
"The President believes that a burger sounds like a good choice for lunch today and this amount is a very reasonable request," said a White House spokesperson.
