In this fantasy, I have three wishes. Perhaps from a genie or something.
First wish is that the Powerball numbers on Saturday match the ones on the ticket I bought today.
Third wish I hold in reserve for an emergency.
The second wish is the interesting one. I wish for a PDA-type device with a nice color screen and one of those nifty stylus thingies. In addition to a web browser, daily planner, calculator, word processor, etc., it would have a program called "Embarrassment".
Embarrassment would enable me to type in a person's name, like, say, Rush Limbaugh, and keep it on file on my magic PDA. For each person, there are options that I could turn on and off at my leisure.
- Truth- when turned on, subject is only able to answer a question truthfully, completely, and without deceit.
- Tourette Syndrome- when turned on, TS with a hefty dose of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprolalia">Coprolalia kicks in for the duration. For some politicians, the effect will be less noticable.
- Bad LSD Trip- self-expanatory
- Flatulance- self-explanatory
- Microphonephobia- when turned on, subject has immediate and very powerful phobia of microphones
- Diarrhea- self-explanatory
I figure that with such a device, I could expose the entire Bush adminstration in a week and get the right-wing cheerleaders either off the air or to scared to spew their hatred inside of a month.
0f course, I'd have to spend a lot of time watching the idiots broadcast live, but I'd make the sacrifice :-) For the senior Adminstration officials and their spokespeople, I'd simply leave the "Truth" setting on for a week straight. And especially during Congressional testimony. Oh, yeah... Congressional testimony....
