Quote of the week!
"We
have a chance if the earth reverses its gravitational
pull, pigs take flight, the secret elf population reveals
its collective ambition, and, oh, right...there is no
other candidate."

LET'S MAKE A DEAL
N.C. & Indy Voters Send Clinton Kamikaze Campaign Into
Broker Mode
It
was around ten p.m. eastern time on May 6 when even
the most dizzying of sycophants at The Machine began
to take stock. The merry time of misrule that was all
the rage for close to two months was sounding taps from
a distant bugle horn due south. The phones at the Bloomington,
Indiana Headquarters of Clinton Central had gone silent,
ceasing the mindless bustle and putting many on alert.
Several of them had thought there had been a blackout,
but the televisions above their heads continued to buzz
the bad news from North Carolina. The mood, so full
of helplessly false hope shoveled without shame by obvious
psychopaths for weeks, now took on that of a cartoon
character having realized it had wandered off the cliff
and suddenly, in a rush of cold reality, glanced down
to find the abyss.
The
unrecognizable stench of bitter and lasting defeat draped
the air. And for the first time, deep inside the spectacular
blanket of denial that had become Campaign Fantasy Camp,
everyone understood the initiative had changed.
Standing
from his cubicle, headset still clamped to his head,
the emotionally strained voice of an exhausted intern
croaked, "What are we doing here?" No one, it turned
out, had a serviceable answer.
By
dawn the gallows jabber of "being in the zone" and "downhill
momentum" and "game-changing" appeared a sad joke in
the unforgiving light of day. To those still left in
"charity" employ of what one Clinton aid recently called
The Three-card Monte of campaigns, "a dismal march of
shameless pandering and sophistic photo-ops", the jig
was most agonizingly up.
