Honey I Shrunk Bachelet and Some of Her Cabinet People!

To the dismay of Chileans and the international community, the president of Chile, Michelle Bachelet, sufferred a major political setback yesterday when along with key cabinet members she was accidentally shrunk to about 0.03 percent of her original size. The incident ocurred during a coordination meeting, in the president's back yard, reportedly held to prevent further communication lapses such as the recent premature declarations involving the "morning after" pill by the Minister of Health. Eye-witnesses claim to have seen a dorky scientist played by Rick Moranis leaving the president's home shortly after the incident. Government spokesman Ricardo Lagos Weber said in a news conference this morning that the president would now be changing her governing style. In response to a question by a reporter, Lagos said that President Bachelet "is now closer to the ground than she ever was, but is a little afraid of giant insects."
