Imagine this.......

At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope,higher taxes,increased abortion-murders and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care.

The crazy=looney liberal news media swoons in admiration -- one simpering anchorman even shouts at a reporter who asks a tough question: "Why don't you show some respect?!" The public is likewise smitten,they are fuckin dumb asses, except for a few nut cases who circulate batty rumors on the Internet about the leader's origins and intentions.

The leader, undismayed, offers assurances that are soothing, if also just a tiny bit condescending: "Embracing change is never easy."

So, does that sound like anyone you know? Oh, wait -- did I mention the leader is secretly a totalitarian space lizard who's come here to eat us?
