Now, who doesn't like to sit back and enjoy a good fantasy now and then? Are you thinking of yet another cheesy after 11 o'clock movie? Last night, I spent a few hours reading Dkos and then fell asleep with the tube on. As I slowly slipped away into la-la land, I felt myself turning around and around until I was confronted with
three Republicans wearing loose sweatpants, lounging about in a dimly lit room.
Now, this is a real fantasy in the sense that, in the end, all the Republicans involved actually convert to Democrats and/or Greens. Trouble is, though I remember just about everything, I've forgotten the main reason they converted. Please take part in "Carmen's Poll", below, and maybe the reason given in my dream will come back to me. In turn, this could be helpful in persuading other Republicans to think "like us" in the future.
A: Shouldn't we just nuke em'?
B: Good question. Send them all on their merry way to Guantanamo, then we flatten their country afterwards just to be sure. Throw in the illegal aliens and foreigners while we're at it.
C: (Wiping tears of laughter from his eyes, then, suddenly catches breath) Hey, don't you remember, my son's nanny, Carmen, is from Mexico!
B: Oh, um... now that you mention it, she does tend to speak with a strong accent. Frankly, we were all a bit afraid to ask.
C: Ask what?
B: You know... if she was an "out-o-stater".
C: Just rest assured that she's moral of the highest degree.
A: How d'ya know?
C: Well, she wears long skirts and says she dreams of one day being able to afford her own SUV complete with "support the troops" bumpersticker before she retires in about 40 years. That should do it. What's more, she's assured me she'd engage in no lewd acts before marriage even if the devil himself were to tempt her in the form of a (one-eyed) snake.
B: How can you be absolutely sure she understood you? And what do you mean by 'lewd acts'? Kissing and stuff?
C: Yeah, that kind of stuff. (Blushing) kissin and rubbin.
Carmen (entering the room): Ola boys...
C: Carmen, how about a round of lemon aid for me and the guys?
A: May I ask you something, Carmen?
Carmen: Sure. Go ahead.
A: Do you say your prayers at night?
Carmen: Oh, yes, every night and in the morning as well.
A: That's very good. What is it you've been asking Him for most these days, besides an SUV?
Carmen: see poll
