Hola ..
Once upon a Time ..
The Lands had come to the point where a new Leader needed to be selected by the People .. many folks with lots of experience decided they would like to be the new Leader, so they garnered their minions and cast their nets into the foray ..
An Outsider, who had a fairly successful reality TV show, and was in heated contract negotiations with the Network, lit upon an idea that he thought would make that skinflint Network cough up the dough that he thought he so justly deserved .. so, one day, he cast a net, offering to pay nice looking folks $50.00 to appear in a "News Release" and, he had plenty of takers for this short and easy job .. all they had to do was cheer and wave a sign ..
The Outsider then contacted the News Agencies and said, "Be here on this day and at this time for a huge scoop, you're gonna love it .." The News folks could not resist and promptly decided to cover that story ..
The Man, backed by music from "The Phantom of the Opera", and wearing his usual Uniform slowly descended a gilded staircase .. into the basement of his Castle .. where the paid crowd cheered, wore his t-shirt and waved his sign .. his first words were "Wow. That is some group of people. Thousands!” .. yet, there were only a few dozen ..
The Man spoke of many things, one was Mexico sending us "rapists" and various miscreants .. in the same room was an undocumented Mexican making banana splits with a cap on that said "The Man's Ice Cream" .. because, the Man was exceptionally good at making money when opportunity presented itself .. he did not really care one way or the other about Mexicans ..
Since this action did not really budge the Network into handing over more contract money, the Man decided to take it a step further .. he garnered a large crowd and in a stream of conscience way, spoke of what he felt would hit the right nerves of the Public .. he sold himself as the one and only answer .. and the crowds cheered and chanted, and the crowds grew .. and the Man loved it, because attention and adoration fueled him like nothing else ..
Well, the rest, as they say, is History ..
