Beauty and the Bush

Long ago in a Free World not so far away...

There lived a man from a town known for sprawling lands and flowing tumbleweeds. This land, known as the Realm of Crawfordon, became the sanctuary for a King of this free land and his children. The king ruled a fair kingdom fraught with tax-cuts, liberty, and eventually a great battle for a liquid known to all as the elixer of Petrol. This elixer was crucial for the people's survival and they needed to protect the far lands that held the liquid in their soft, dirt bellies.

One day the King was overthrown by a man from something the town locals called R-Kansas but it had nothing to do with the letter R nor the fabled land of tornadoes.

This man spoke well and woo-ed many people until the townspeople decded to place tiny pieces of paper in a box that declared a new King.

Well this did not sit well at all with the old King. Why should he lose his position just because another man speaks better? thought the King. "This simply will not do." he declared and with that began to create a plan.

The old King, who we will call King Herbert, decided to create a plan to get back the Kingship. the new King would be Herbert's dim-witted son Georgio. But King Herbert needed a plan to get rid of the gray-haired man who took his Kingship. Regicide would be impossible but there was another avenue but it would take many years.

So King Herbert worked for many nights and many days preparing Georgio for life as King, he even made him the local leader of a very strange land where they ate many cows and prepareed something called chilly. their national sport was executing people and the occasional baseball game.

What Herbert didnt tell Georgio was that he had secretly built a weapon to bring down the new king whom everyone loved and adored for giving them more gold coins in their hands, a peaceful village, and the occassional tune on his pan-pipes.

This weapon was the new King's kryptonite. the king had but one weakness and it was plentifl in the village square where all business was conducted. It was referred to on the streets as 'beauty' but everyone one else called it "intern syndrome."

the King resided and did all business at a home gilded in white and it was there that Herbert delivered his weapon. She would creep slowly into the house and begin to woo and sway the King as he had done to voters only a few moons ago.

She was called monica of lewinsky and she pulled the King down a path of destruction and sadness. Soon the King's evil wife, Helleria, discovered the secret time that the King spent with the lady of Lewinsky and the King was humililated in front of everyone in the village as a traitor and a bad, bad man.

Once the King was embarassed it was easy for Herbert to slowly prompt Georgio into becoming the new King. But, Herbert thought, I should make sure that Georgio is able to succeed and to do that I will take the Land to the South and steal votes!
This is where the hidden son of Herbert, Jebedia, begins to emerge. Jebedia was assigned to rule over the Territory to the South and with his evil band of cohorts stole from the people votes and candidates for King until the very day that everyone in the village was to cast a paper for the new King.

As expected, the new King was Georgio. Even after a vicious battle from the usually non-violent sect of the village known as the library dwellers the new King remained Georgio.

And so in the land of freedom and liberty Georgio was set to rule over the land in the name of Herbert using all of the old King's advisors and subjects to rule with a frilly but lacy fist. For Vice-King the King chose Sir Richard of the hearty land of Cheneyville.

And so the village fought for many years over the reign of King Georgio but to this day he remains King and sits comfortably with his own family in the gilded house of creme waiting for the day that the Library Dwelllers will emerge from their cubicles and launch a return attack for the very special crown of liberty that awaits them in the Village square.

And so the battle rages on with King Georgio at the helm...The End?

Im At Stanford

So this is my first entry from Stanford University in lovely California.

The JSA Summer School is an intense deal but in all honesty one of the greatest programs I have yet to go through.

Cali is wonderfully clean, liberal, and the weather is perfect.

But enough about that, lets get into Politics!

AP Comparative Govt is an interesting exploration into the nuances of various political structures with an emphaisis in society, culture, and poitics.

yeah thats what you all wanted to hear im sure.

We start debates tonight and soon enough everything will be in gear and hopefully I will have something to add to my lovely blog.

Tomorrow there will be another exciting installment of my fairy tails.

Tomorrow's title: Beauty and The Bush

This one is for the kids at home...

The story of the 3 little democrats and the Big Bad Conservative...

Once upon a time in a little democracy in a land far, far away there lived a group of people run by peace and prosperity. Three little democrats controlled each of the three branches of the village government: A fair and just democrat in the legislature, a flamboyant but respectable leader as the elected chief, and a wise old democrat to pass judgement. The land was very happy and everyone was pleased with the amount of trade and the relations with the other villages.

But one day a new-comer came to town. His name was John Q. Conservative and he offered the people things that the Democrats wouldnt speak of. The townspeople believed his tales of tax-cuts, equality, and slimmer government. All of these things sounded wonderful but little did the town know what would come of it.

First Mr. Conservative went to the legislative democrat and he said in a booming voice, "I can bring to you fairness and a voice of all the people for Patriotism." Mr. Conservative took all of the little democrats Christian and Black votes sealing his victory.

The two little democrats left were worried about what had happened in the legislature so they tried to build a wall of protection using the "liberal media" as a cover up.

Mr. Conservative, however, was ready for this and began to seek out the executive position and would do whatever it took to win that seat. he recruited the power of conservative talk to begin changing the minds and hearts of the innocent voter base and eventually he was able to take the second little democrat's spot in the executive office.

And then there was one little democrat left...surrounded by the conservatives and their army of radicals he was in a state of dismay as it was announced that Mr. Conservative would be seeking the title of Jusitce Conservative.

What was the last democrat to do!?

the little democrat had an idea! He would empower the people with a tool more powerful than the media itself. The Truth. Using the power of a phone call and deep fundraising pockets the little democrat called to his friends in the liberal media to run a campaign against the conservatives. It turned out that those tax-cuts really only helped Mr. Conservatives friends and the slimmer government was really way bigger than any other government in the little village's history!

the people saw this and they were amazed and what they had done. They quickly joined forces with the last democrat and began to rally against Mr. Conservative by demanding change. Mr. Conservative, however, feared change and was run out of every office that he had previously held. The other little democrats were thankful and happy to return to a time of peace and happiness. now in the little village there are no problems of lies or deception when it comes to the truth of government...

...and they lived happily ever after.

the end.
