  I personally believe, Tuttle, that our country has been completely void of government, at any level, for at least the last 12 years. Look at it: Two “Republicraps” and one Democrap” — an utter uncontrollable mess. At all levels, the “people’s will” be damned.

  See? Immediately, it forces a focus on the message. No leggy blonde frowning earnestly and saying, “Have you heard the Democruds want to make abortion mandatory?” No harried mom wondering what she’ll do if the Republicraps issue assault rifles in school. Just The Candidate, talking.

  “Why would the other senators allow the upstarts into their committees?” Chiun demanded, not letting up on the earlier ludicrousness. / “Guess they’d have to if there were enough MAEBEs,” Remo said. “Otherwise, the MAEBEs would fight everything the Democraps and Republicraps did. I guess it’s a part of the checks and balances.”

  Once again, 1960 saw the election of another president fated to die in office—John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. By this time, seven consecutive presidents elected in years ending in zero had died in office, and still, nobody was talking about it. After seven consecutive presidential deaths fitting the pattern of the curse, it should have been obvious there was something to it. One wonders how the Democraps and Republicraps were able to dig up any candidates for president when 1980 rolled around, yet there they were, in droves.
