The New JFK 

Just a random thought. In 1960, the US elected a Roman Catholic president with the initials JFK into the whitehouse. The apparent good times that followed were known affectionately as Camelot. Camelot was the mythical relm of a benevolent leader who (upon his passing at the hand of his scheming regent) was said to have been whisked away in spirit to a mystical land known as Avalon. After his passing, Camelot was lost. But legend has it that when the times are right, the spirit of the benevolent leader will return to reclaim Camelot.

In 1992, the groundwork was laid for a new Camelot. There was prosperity, general peace, and we all were brought into this time with theme music as Fleetwood Mac kept reminding us: "Don't Stop Thinkin' About Tomorow." But, alas, just as in the legend, that Camelot was temporarilly lost due to an infidelity. A modern day Mordred now sits upon the usurped throne of Camelot. The theme music that brought him in? "Livin' La Vida Loca".


But do not stop thinking about tomorrow. It'll soon be here. And when it comes, bringing with it another Roman Catholic JFK, what better song to have played at his inauguration than this?
The rain may never fall till after sundown
By 8 the morning fog must disappear
In short there's simply not
A more congenial spot
for happily ever-aftering
Than here in Camelot
Camelot........Camelot
I know it gives a person pause....
But in Camelot.........Camelot
Those are the legal laws
The snow may never slush upon the hillside
By 9pm the moonlight must appear
In short there's simply not
A more congenial spot
for happily ever-aftering
Than here in Camelot
Can you imagine how badly that would piss off Karl Rove and Karen Hughes? Bwahahahaha!
