It was evening, the stars were out and rich in layers, the constellations had depth and the band of the milky way was visible on the horizon.

"Come here baby"

I turn from my position on the foyer and see Condi smiling and curling her right index finger repeatedly.

Her trip to the Middle East over, I am flattered she stopped by Shamballa for an unofficial visit and by my place for an infomal tete-a-tete about policy.

"You wont walk out on me because I'm dressed too revealing will you?"

"No, that's not one of my hang ups, thanks for asking though."

She turns over to the nightstand and produces a pair of handcuffs, "I just want to be sure..."

I stare at her in amazement, dumbfounded at the implications.

"C'mon, you know that a woman Secretary of State must be into S&M and be an 'evil black woman', surely you've read Lindy's and Bowser's posts?"

"I thought they were joking, such subconscious sponsored bigotry is not in their make up. Their pure liberal minds are incapable of hating others based upon their appearances - they are far too elevated in social understandings to look at a picture and jump to assumptions about their sexual preferences or activities."

"But I am an 'evil black woman' into S&M and Cheney is 'a fat impotent man' who can't get it up. They are, as always, right on the money. You should read more of their posts, as they are the gospel truth. Their keen insight on the human condition is clearly the result of a full life of liberal compassion and training. You see that compassion and love of humanity in all those on the left who deign to post at that board you visit."

"Well, I never thought about it that way. I probably should only read MSNBC from now on too, right?"

"It couldn't hurt dear...well unless you want it to..."

"Oh that would be painful, indeed."

"The left is full of wisdom dear, you simply need to keep an open mind and follow their example..."



(Due to the fact that I have written myself into a corner and that this post is indeed a hardly concealed flame done with exquisite style it will now end abruptly and perhaps a bit unsatisfyingly for those who wished for less talk and more action)
