Republicans And Democrats Agree To Let Facebook® And WATSON Run The Government Till A Budget Agreement Can Be Reached

Satirical News Service
Washington DC



Faced with eminent shutdown of all government services unless Republicans and Democrats can agree on a Budget (good luck with THAT!), they agreed to let IBM’s WATSON and Facebook® run all government operations in the interim. WATSON, flush with its recent victory on JEOPARDY readily agreed to this as did Mark Zuckerman whose Facebook® now has a larger population than the entire US. Zuckerman said “We’ve already proven that we can mobilize thousands of people, and we already have much better democratic process in place on Facebook® that can permit people to Like or comment on each other’s Facebook quips." WATSON expressed similar optimism that it could run all government operations more quickly and efficiently until the actual government can actually agree on a budget.
