Did anyone watch the last episode of the Simpsons?
Homer and his barfly buddies won the lotto. The popular black guy (Carl Carlson) went to cash the ticket, and skipped town, stealing 50,000 from each of his buddies. Sounds a little like art imitating life.
So they try to track down their previous friend Carl, and find out he's not even an American citizen!!
He was adopted by an Icelandic couple, that were traitors to their homeland. Is this getting a little too parallel?
Carl stole their money to take back to his homeland, attempting to clear his family name only to discover it was even worse than history had recorded.
The unbelievable ending was they forgave Carl because, he had helped them move, and bought Homer a beer once.
The tinfoil hat on my head says they are foreshadowing.
My tinfoil hat is noticing similar things. I can’t believe that all the Hollywood writers are in on the conspiracy!!
Seriously, I think most of us - even liberals - know that Zippy is a fraud. I think those of his supporters who have been fully aware of the fraud are starting to realize his days are numbered, so they are laying the groundwork for post-Zippy survivability. I think some who were not fully aware are beginning to catch on. And I think even some of the Kool-Aid drinkers are subconsciously aware that there are chinks in the armor and inconsistencies in the stories.
The opportunists are just keeping track of which way the wind is blowing and positioning themselves accordingly.
