Once upon a time there was a likeable Hollywood actor, who at one time had believed in the Roosevelt design to help the multitude to help themselves. However, as President of the Actors’ Guild he betrayed his colleagues as McCarthy compiled the infamous blacklist. Then he was awarded by General Electric with big TV bucks and thus this Grade B character become Teflon Grade A[rrogant].
Mounted and poised as knight-in-chief with avenging lance aimed at the dragon of centralized government, King Ronald spurred his war-charger and let loose a war cry: "Military might is the American Way, my subjects, and thus must pay in loyalty to your king!"
The righteous horde galloped after their righteous king and unleashed a scourge upon the land in the name of their king who foreshadowed disinformation in behalf of the kingdom’s defense. To fight the holy cold war, heavy tax was levied upon the commoners, and his predecessor, King Peanut, was blamed for being weak on communism, and the masses bowed in reverence to the happy warrior and forgave him for his tax relief among the noble class.
The nobles at long last purged the tattered ghost of FDR watching over the commonwealth: these relentless knights of economics-witchcraft did relentlessly deploy to lay waste the land with debt.
King George I dared to prick the voodoo doll but not enough for Sir Perot who ranted furiously over the unthinkable debt owed to Japan and Germany, historic enemies of the realm. While these mighty nobles dueled, Lord Slick stole the Sir Perot’s idea and the crown. Surprisingly King Slick-William, in spite of his unspeakable waywardness, brought fiscal responsibility to the kingdom.
Alas, King George II did wrest the throne from Lord Gore, the people’s choice, and abruptly restored the divine right of King Ronald’s vision. When the fiery dragons took to the air to wreak havoc and fear upon the land, the people cowered and paid homage to their new king. When, in lieu of demanding sacrifice from his subjects and relieving them from the punishing levies of King Ronald’s legacy, and because King Slick-William had built up the kingdom’s treasury, King George II became the people’s choice. Thence the king did solemnly aver, “Though we be at war, you shall not sway from your merry ways, my dear subjects.” Thenceforth he became their god and they did not listen further: “And to the kingdom’s nobility, I decree, that the treasury so cruelly amassed by my predecessor, henceforth will be yours to do as you wish, in the name of our Lord and Philosopher Jesus.”
