DENVER (AP) – At a train station outside the Democrat convention, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sought volunteers to help ease the severe shortage of gray matter in the Democrat Party, asking one group “can we drill your brains?”.

“It’s no secret that Democrats have been low on brains for a long time now,” said Pelosi, “as our convention so sadly illustrates. From our presumptive candidate not knowing whether he was in St. Louis or Kansas City, to his mental defective veep referring to him as ‘Barack America’, to our tribute to Ted Kennedy opening AND closing with scenes of open water – dear God in heaven, we just aren’t that bright.”
While some in the Democrat party have advocated clean, renewable sources of brains – such as babies – left-wing scientists are unable to discover a practical method of bringing them out into the world alive so that they can grow. “There’s no commercially viable way to turn these bits of fetal tissue into something that can think like a human being,” noted Pelosi, “even the Pope agrees with that.”
“We’ve tried using trained monkeys as a substitute for smart people,” said the Speaker, “but all that got us was MoveOn.org.”
The Democrat party is currently heavily dependent on brains from overseas, such as Canadian health ministers, Iranian mullahs, and Manifesto-writing Russian philosophers. Such a strategically questionable over-reliance on foreign sources puts Liberals in a precarious position. “What if the rest of the world suddenly stopped thinking in a socially responsible fashion and simply left the United States to think for itself? Some people scoff that this could never happen, but those people have obviously forgotten about the dreadful Reagan years.”
“So I think that, in the end, our only realistic choice is to drill for brains here in the US,” concluded Pelosi. “Then again, ramming a 4-inch steel bit through someone’s skull with a Black & Decker cordless might actually be a monumentally idiotic feel-good pipe-dream instead of a sensible plan for ensuring the future of our nation. But I’m a Democrat, so I really wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.”
