Labor Department Announces Reduction in Vice Presidents Hours

Due to continuing bad economic numbers, slow growth in the job market, forecast of weak growth in the private sector during the coming year and a Vice President that stumbles through the darkness with an unlighted candle, the U.S. Labor Secretary announced yesterday a cut in Vice President Joe Biden's hours.

But late Friday, Biden was spotted eagerly greeting customers at the entrance of the Wal-mart in his home town of Dover Delaware where he has taken a part-time job.

Local media are quoted as reporting Biden was overheard trying to discuss foreign policy with an irritated and impatient elderly woman who just stopped to ask him where she could find the dishwashing detergent and anti-flatulent products. Biden told a local reporter he is proud of his service to the people of Delaware, representing them in Washington, and this part-time job at Wal-mart is no different. "Hey, this is a big f**king deal for ol' Joe, know what I'm saying?" the Vice President was heard whispering to the store manager, Kling Phree.
