@David Walker...Thoroughly enjoyed your delightfully written post. Have you considered writing a book? Most of the frustrations I've felt reading the posts you describe were perfectly illustrated by your clever analysis.

Here is another 'Programming Note' from "Progressive Power Productions." It is now time for another bone chilling episode of "Darth Rove." AKA. Karl Rove. The GOP/RNC Master of "Misinformation and Madness." The last time we read of "Darth Rove." AKA. Karl Rove. Darth Rove was in an old Western Stand off with Clint Eastwood.

"The Moonbase President."

Scene One opens. Darth Rove is reading the "Nutty Newt" moonbase plan for America. Suddenly! "Nutty Newt" enters the chamber with a confident smile, and a disturbing skip in his step. He is wearing his Confederate Army Officers Uniform, and holding up his sword.

"Hey Karl! How are you doing today?" Asked "Nutty Newt." Shaking his sword in the air.

"Not well Newt!" Responded Karl Rove. Pointing his cane of fire at "Nutty Newt."

"Why is that Karl?" Asked a very puzzled Newt. Putting his sword down.

"I have been getting alot of phone calls from the mental hospital that you escaped from Newt. The doctors that are trying too help you are telling me that you are off your many medications." Explained Darth Rove. His blood red eyes are glaring with great anger at Newt.

Scene One Ends. With poltical tensions between "Darth Rove." AKA. Karl Rove. Getting very intense.

Scene Two opens. With Karl spewing fire from his eyes.

"That is a lie Karl!! I'm not insane! Screamed Newt taking out his sword and swinging it in the air.

"Newt you are not to talk about moonbases ever again, and I want you to drop out of the race for President today. Ordered Karl. Loudly tapping his cane of fire on the floor of blood.

"You are the crazy one Karl. This chamber you have created is just criminally insane, and the fact that you sit down here in this horrible smell of poltical death is a joke. Your throne is made of the bones of the Middle Class, and your cane of crap is made up of the bones of the Working Poor. On the right wall you have your own definition of death panels. With bones of the elderly and the disabled piled up against the wall. Your father is "Darth Cheney," and you both spend your weekends waterboarding innocent Americans for laughs. Then for economic laughs you help create Super PAC's, and I see the piles of money stacked up behind your throne." Explained "Nutty Newt." Pointing his Confederate Officers sword at Karl Rove.

Scene Two closes. With Darth Rove standing up off his thone yelling at Newt. "That did you little traitor!"

Scene Three opens. Suddenly! A huge blood red panel opens up to the left of Darth Rove's Throne, and four nurses with white coats came running charging at "Nutty Newt."

Darth Rove orders."Get him! Take him back to his mental hospital, and make sure his doctors drug him well!!" Karl Rove is laughing pointing his cane of fire at Newt.

Newt has been taken to the ground, and the nurses are putting on his "Specially" assigned Straight Jacket. Newt is continuing to scream." You will never shut me up Karl. You are an evil little Nazis, and I will be back with my Death Star paid for by the Koch Brothers."

"Have a long rest my little friend!" Laughing Darth Rove.

Scene Three closes. With the nurses dragging Newt out of the chamber, and up the long staircase through the "Nazis Newsroom." AKA. Fox News.

The End!
