Jesters

I liked the inauguration today. I ended up watching it on Fox News in a bar, but at least I got to take a little time out of my day and enjoy, for the first time in a while, American ceremonial displays that I thought were backed with the real possibility of fulfilling the values that they theoretically stand for.

I’ve decided though, if I am ever elected king of America, I’m going to get a jester. Someone who stands outside the system and who comments through creative comedy on the life of my administration. I think it’d help keep me honest and liven things up from time to time. If you’re doing a particularly good job of it, leading the free world probably gets boring.
