Stolen Excerpt from the Diary of a Candidate!A Story by Michael StevensYou'll just have to guess which one!![]() Stolen Diary Excerpt of a Presidential Candidate!
My name is Colin Von Trapp, and I recently
broke into the house of a presidential candidate, who shall remain nameless, and
zowee--check this out:
"Boy, I've got everybody fooled! They
seem to think I actually give a s**t about them, and their pathetic,
meaningless, hopeless lives. They see me as a celebrity first, and a candidate
second, which is a good thing, because I know less than nothing about anything
real. They'll ask me questions, looking for a substantive answer, and I just
blow them off with meaningless, vague generalities.
They don't seem to realize that there's no there
here. While I may not know much, I act like I do, and I talk a good game. If
I've learned one thing from the business world, beside being ruthless, it's to seem like you know what
you're talking about, and to brook no criticism--in fact, when questioned about
something, I'll go on the attack, deflecting the attention from the fact I
don't know s**t about whatever the topic is, and make fun of them for
something--if there's something wrong with them physically, so much the better.
Hey, if it worked in junior high school, why change it?
I hear the Republican Party establishment is
upset with me--what they, what nobody, understands, is the only thing I give a
s**t about is myself. I'm loving all the publicity. Good or bad, it doesn't
matter. Like the old saying goes, any publicity is good publicity, and publicity
will make me even more money, which is, after all, what I'm actually running
for--well, that, and so I'll need a bigger hat. Can you imagine me with a
bigger head? If people were making hair jokes before, this hair would truly
look like it's living separate from my head--like I'd have to wrestle it to the
ground in order to comb and spray it into submission, eh, ha, ha!
For some reason, the unwashed masses, and
believe me, they've obviously never heard of soap, look at me as one of them. I
mean, 'hello! Do I look like I've
ever been poor, and could possibly understand anything about the everyday struggles of the common man? Hell
no--believe me, common I'm not, unless by 'common' you mean super-rich. Then I
plead guilty--just a figure of speech! I'm too smart to ever get caught doing
something illegal. Can you imagine someone as rich and with hair this perfect
surviving in prison? I'm a lover of myself, not a fighter!
I
hear from my sources--ha--sources, that the word on the street is that that
I'll get wiped out in the general election, but never overestimate the
intelligence of some of the public. I WILL be the next President of the United
States!"
