New Energy Secretary Guesses He Ought To Read Up On Energy

WASHINGTON, DC-- Spencer Abraham, the newly installed U.S. Energy Secretary,
admitted Monday that he probably ought to read up on energy. "I know energy
is really important, and that there was a big crisis back in the '70s, but
other than that, I'm in the dark," Abraham said. "I was hoping to be
appointed Secretary of Transportation, which I know a lot more about, but
that one was already taken." The former Michigan senator said he plans to go
to the library Thursday to look up "Energy" in The World Book Encyclopedia.
