Let's indulge in a little fantasy: 2003: Dick Cheney is found dead. Coroners report that he actually passed away in 2001, his last words being 'Haliburton. Haliburton...'. Pres Bush picks a surprise replacement, known only as CyberKen. "His views coaligniate with mine", says Bush. Bush mistakenly chooses CyberKen as a prescription drug program advocate, when in reality, CyberKen is merely a heavy user. 2004 Bush/CyberKen are reelected on the new Whacko ticket. "I couldn't have done it without Ken", Bush is quoted as saying. "The lunatic fringe provided that swing demographic that previously voted for Pat Buchanan and Sean Hannity". FOX News is made the only permissable news source in America. 2005 Bush is tragically killed in an accident in the gym, when a dumbbell falls on his head. Fortunately, John Ashcroft was not hurt in the accident. CyberKen ascends to the presidency, proclaimly the start of the Fifth Reich. 2006 Having bombed Iran, Indonesia, Somalia, Egypt, Syria, and Korea (both North and South; hey, while we were there...), CyberKen turns his sights on other nations standing in the way of America's pursuit of happiness. France, Russia, Germany, India, Pakistan, Canada, and Hawaii are targeted. When told that Hawaii is actually one of the fifty states, Ken replies: "Well, damn it, they deserve it. They should have been contiguous!". 2007 As the United World closes in on the last bastion of Imperial America, Ken huddles in his bunker beneath the White House. Rather than be taken alive, Ken swallows a large American flag whole. "Tastes like chicken..." are his last words.
