BUSH ORDERS CAPE & CROWN

Prez calls for amendment to allow royal titles

With his controversial $500 million inaugural ball behind him, President George W. Bush has dropped another financial bombshell -- he's shelling out $82.5 million for a jewel-studded crown and sabletrimmed cape to wear during his second term in office.

And when new Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice pointed out that the Constitution bans blueblood titles, he snapped, "Heck, let's change it. Get me an amendment so I can be called 'Your Highness.' "

Insiders add that the Commander in Chief bristles at the suggestion that the traditional trappings of European monarchs send the wrong message to the American people, 40 million of whom live in grinding poverty.

"I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I earned political capital in my landslide election victory last November and I'm going to spend it any way I like."

Emailed out my resume to two places.

Left messages at two more.

Talked to one place and decided I'm not going any further (had "bad idea" written all over it.. the fact they wanted to interview me today without even seeing a resume? I smell a door-to-door job.)

Heading out to fax my resume for a dispatching job.

Tomorrow, go over to Kinkos and get a dozen copies of said resume. Then drop them off at a few places.
