A PLAY, entitled "Your Yummy Desserts." The part of DAVID FRUM will be played by David Frum. The part of the Great Old One of AEI will be played by CTHULU.
THE SCENE. A lonely AEI boardroom. Corporate, but also adorned with Artwork Designed to Induce Madness Primordial, Like a Nagel Print of Yog-Sothoth bestowing the Medal of Freedom upon George Tenet.
CTHULU. BLEARGH!
DAVID FRUM. Fair enough.
CTHULU. BLEARGH!
DAVID FRUM. Again, great globes of light massing toward the opening, and not alone these, but the breaking apart of the nearest globes, and the protoplasmic flesh that flowed blackly outward to join together and form that eldritch, hideous horror from outer space, that spawn of the blankness of primal time, that tentacled amorphous monster which was the lurker at the threshold, whose mask was as a congeries of iridescent globes, the noxious Yog-Sothoth, who froths as primal slime in nuclear chaos beyond the nethermost outposts of space and time! I meant, Axis of Evil.
CTHULU. Nice try, but we've moved on.
DAVID FRUM. Fiddlesticks.
There are dumber religions, but if Fred Hiatt doesn't snag a Bold New Voice out of this, Oh Please.
