See, folks, our esteemed colleague was offended by the clear political
slant in a silly sensationalized piece of popular entertainment, and
decided that the only way to set things right was to devote considerable
time and effort to describing a scenario just as absurd and contrived,
but with the political slant in the /other/ direction.  With blackjack,
and hookers!

By the way, Les, does this mean you finally settled on a name for the
ship?  Last I heard, it was down to three candidates:  "Galt's Gulch",
"1 Percent Solution", or "F*** You I Got Mine".  (Still dissappointed
that "Ark B" didn't make the final cut.)
