“THE WRITING ON THE WALL”

(Aug. 10, 2016) — “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to ‘The Pulse of the Nation.’ I’m Chief New Leaf, and we’re on Broadway, ‘Where the neon lights are bright.’ That’s right, we’re in Nashville, Tennessee, America’s ‘Music City,’ where we’re doing our normal street interviews.
“Excuse me, sir, Chief New Leaf for the ‘Pulse.’ Can you spare a minute of your time? Got a question for you.”
“Oh, yes, of course. Watch you every night, ever since you went on satellite.”
“Mind telling our viewers what you do for a living?”
“No, not at all. I’m a record producer; even have an office on ‘Music Row.’ I’m down here looking for new talent. I heard there’s a new group in town that everyone’s talking about so I’m interested. As a matter of fact, we’re standing in front of the bar they’re playing at. We could go in and give them a listen: you game?
“Oh, yes, they more than welcome cameras; heck, it’s a tourist joint. Come on in.”
“Ah! Chief Leaf! Look, everybody; it’s Chief New Leaf and crew! Welcome! Come in, come in. Here, let me make room for you. My name is Gino, and this is my place you are honoring. And we’re on ‘Pulse of the Nation,’ everyone! Pan around; nice entertainment place. Everyone smile! Wave. Here, sit here, right in front.”
“Thank you, Gino, appreciate that.”
“Yes, sit, and burgers are on their way. My treat; no cost to you because I like your show so much. And now the music starts. I bring you ‘Don and the RINOS’!”
“Thank you, Gino, and welcome to ‘Pulse of the Nation.’ And I see Mr. Forte, a well-known and respected record-producer in the crowd. And now we’ll sing for you: a-1; a-2; a-3:
It’s election time again in the USA
The economy is worse day by day
Millions are unemployed collecting Food Stamps
While pundits make newsrooms their camp.
And here comes ‘Miss Pastel Colored Pantsuit’
With extra pockets for collecting loot
Gathering masters that make her bark
Listen to Hillary: Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf!
And here comes Trump and sidekick Pence
Detailed plans to build ‘The Fence’
To keep us all safe
And make our country a greater place.
And here comes ‘Miss Pastel Colored Pantsuit
With extra pockets for collecting loot
Gathering masters that make her bark
Listen to Hillary: Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf!”
“Ha ha ha. That’s funny. Good song, guys and a gal. And here arrive the burgers. Folks, we’ll be back outside on the sidewalk as soon as we finish. See you all then.
“Ah, the power of editing. Thank you, Gino. See you all; Bye everyone! All set?
“Hello, once again, we’re back, and if ever you want a classy burger, come on down to Gino’s on Broadway. And here comes a family from, hey, where you all from?”
“Oh, look, it’s that Indian Chief. Kids and I watch your show every night. We’re from Iowa. What’s the question?”
“What is the proven formula for a lie to be understood as the truth?”
“Wasn’t it Honest Abe that said ‘No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar?’ I suggest Hillary would take Abe’s honest.”
“Well, now, that’s what my husband says. Me? I think the media is distorting it all. Take Benghazi, for instance. It’s old news. I say get over it.”
“Honey, that’s the last straw. See that taxi? I’m leaving; I’m going to Reno and getting a divorce. It’s not that I’m leaving you because you’re a Democrat and will vote Party no matter what. Why, you don’t even realize that the Democrat Party of JFK is gone forever. No, it’s that you refuse to see the writing on the wall. And what does the writing on the wall say? It says you’re just plain stupid and refuse to listen to facts.
“Fact #1 is that I’m sick and tired of hearing about the ‘moderate Muslim’; sick of it. Fact #2 is that you still believe that Benghazi was all about the video and fail to understand that Ambassador Stevens was a sacrificial lamb.
“Anyway, I’m out of here. You kids are old enough to make up your own minds, so you’re welcome to come with me. You want to come with me? All right, hop in the cab; we’ll swing by the motel and off to the airport. Goodbye.”
“And off they go. Well, I hate to say it, lady, but you got to be pretty stupid not to have figured it out by now. I mean, how is it humanly possible to ignore the illegal immigrants; the national debt; and the daily atrocities done by Muslims?
“And you want open borders and feel ‘sorry’ for the Syrian ‘refugees’? Don’t you know that the corrupt politicians of the world are actively participating on the Muslims’ introducing Sharia Law in order to overthrow Western Civilization? Are you REALLY that stupid?”
“Please don’t answer; just leave. Well, I guess it was all for the better; but too bad just the same. The little lady just refused to get on board of the ‘Ship of Common Sense.’
And that’s all the time we have tonight. And so, on behalf of the crew, this is Chief New Leaf wishing you all a good night: Goodnight.
“You know what? Let’s say we walk around for a spell and act like tourists and end up right back where we started from and have another one of those delicious burgers? It’ll be my treat.”
