Once upon a time there was a kingdom called Dem. It was ruled by King Teleprompter and his word was law. There were many bad and dangerous people in the kingdom who often gathered together in secret to plot the overthrow of the government. Upon their capture they were sent to a prison far, far away called Gitmo. The prison was built by the former King of Dem whose name was George. It seemed like a good idea back then, because these bad people were far away from the kingdom and could only talk amongst themselves.
One day King Teleprompter declared that he was going to close Gitmo, because he didn't think the prison was good for public relations. An uproar arose across the land. Where were these bad people going to go? The answer was to a neighborhood near you. Fear and apprehension spread across the land. Women were wringing their hands, children were crying and men were arming themselves with extra sharp swords.
King Dem was unmoved by all the sadness in the kingdom and he moved forward with his plans to close Gitmo. A wise man in the kingdom consulted with a soothsayer, Madame Itoldyouso, to find out what would happen when the King's plan was brought to fruition.
The news was very, very disheartening. Madame Itoldyouso predicted that a time would come when the terrorist population would rise dramatically. The bad people who were returned to the kingdom would recruit thousands of people to march beside them and terrorize the people.
The wise man pleaded with King Dem to change his mind, but the King wouldn't budge.
And so...POP...Madame Itoldyouso's predictions came true and the bad people ruled the land and the people were sad.
The End.
Well, I am not sure that was a fairy tale. It seems more like a vision of the not too distant future, me thinks. I understand the king spoke yesterday. I also understand that he did not mention the terrorist plot in NY to bomb synagogues and shoot down military planes. And, he wants us to believe he is strong on the security of the kingdom. Me thinks not! This is why we should be very scared and nervous, boys and girls. Can you say BARTENDER?
ReplyDeletetaxlarry,
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely correct. I think the President writes a new fairy tale every single time he makes a speech. I can say BARTENDER and that is just what I plan to be saying around 3 today. Care to join me?
I am thinking that the village people didn't live happily ever after???
ReplyDeletejeschulkes,
ReplyDeleteYou are thinking correctly. All the people in the village were very, very sad forever more!
