            Axis Of Evil Flooded With Membership Applications
            Kim Jong-Il 'Very Picky' About Filling Open Third Slot

            The Axis of Evil, which originally consisted of Iran, Iraq and
North Korea, has been flooded with membership applications of late as
evildoers around the world vie to fill the slot vacated by Iraq.

            That is according to North Korean President Kim Jong-Il, who
since 2002 has served as Chairman of the Axis of Evil while also holding
down the post of Chairman of the Axis of Evil's membership committee.

            At a press conference in Pyongyang today, President Kim said
that the bewildering number of applications received at the Axis of Evil
offices each day is "proof that evildoing is alive and well."

            "No question about it, evildoing is a growth industry," Mr. Kim
told reporters. "It's the only thing in the world these days that's keeping
pace with obesity."

            Mr. Kim said that in addition to the terror group al-Qaeda,
which submits Axis of Evil applications on a weekly basis, the A.O.E. has
also received applications from Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, and Hugo Chavez of
Venezuela.

            "This is going to be a very, very tough call," Mr. Kim told
reporters. "All of these folks probably deserve to be in, but there's only
one slot."

            The North Korean madman said that he had hoped to make a
decision by the end of the week, but that is probably unrealistic: "Mel
Gibson just sent in an application and that's going to need some serious
consideration."

            Elsewhere, after former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein said he
wanted to be executed by a firing squad if he is sentenced to death,
President Bush dispatched Vice President Dick Cheney to Baghdad.
