UPDATE ON DJIA HIGH

WASHINGTON — In an astute act of legerdemain, Congressional Republicans are claiming that, by defying all reason and common sense by precipitating the now-infamous Sequester, they are solely responsible for yesterday's all-time Dow Jones high.


“We plan to keep tightening the screws on the middle class and the lower class until the Dow Jones reaches at least 20,000,” House Speaker John Boehner explained to a solitary reporter. “Yesterday's high of 14,296 is way too low.”


“The American public,” Boehner continued, “can now see, on full display, the benefits of close cooperation between The Tea Party and Wall Street.”
