A Little Different Take on The Historic Moment

Kinda looks like there's at least a few folks out in cyberworld who are not quite as excited about America's choice for new leadership. This is an excerpt from one such bit of prose I found online. And you gotta admit, it ain't all that far-fetched.


... And the awed and bewildered among them traveled from the ends of the earth, trembling and sobbing in joyous ignorance of the depth of their peril.

"Matata !" - "Matata !"

they cried out in broken unison, tears of joy streaming down their cheeks as they stood in mindless devotion, shivering in the numbing winter cold.

The chosen one descended from the podium, into the protective bubble of armed security agents, who callously brushed aside the throngs of dazed admirers, as they whisked him into his brand-new shiny black transport pod ... appropriately named "The Beast" by it's manufacturer.

And The Beast within The Beast began the slow but deliberate advance upon that once respected, magnificent bright white structure, with it's huge columns and manicured lawns and historic foliage .. the former symbol of world democracy and hope itself for all who desired it. He had conquered his prize without a single cannon shot. Not a gun was fired, nor a single drop of blood shed in his quest for dominion over all the world's citizens. And before the sun had set ... before the first celebratory dance ... his signatory pen was already casting misery upon the very people who had bestowed such power upon hm. Executive Order #13489 would once & for all eliminate any hope of uncovering the truth of who or what this demon was or where he had originated from. Indeed, not even the record of his birth could ever become a matter of public record without his express approval.

The days of reckoning are surely upon the world today.
