This just in: the cause of the fire at the OEOB this week has been identified. A document shredder in Dick Cheney’s office overheated, causing an electrical fire that ignited some kindling, gas canisters, and festive dried pine needles that had been laid out earlier that very morning to decorate the room where they keep the Double Secret White House Executive Privilege servers.

A freedomandshit[dot]org reminder to our readers: Christmas decorations can be highly flammable.  If you’ve got documents that may soon be subpoenaed, decorate the hell out of them.
