President’s
Day!
On the
count of three, I want everyone to launch into a lively, rousing and joyous rendition of Hail to the Chief.
One . . .
Two . . . Three . . .
What? You
don’t know it either? Okay, let’s just skip that part. This week’s Writing Prod
is something I call . . . Almost Perfect. Invent the perfect society. What
would it be like? Now write a story about it.
In keeping
with a President’s Day theme, I will attempt to create a paradise with George
Washington in mind.
Green
Government
The whole
idea of greening the government sounded good – at first. Advanced technologies
had opened up endless possibilities, including the cloning of George Washington
to lead the U.S.
into a prosperous age of cooperation with nature. And at first, President
Washington led the way with advocating a greater reliance on renewable resources
for many of the services where that hadn’t been common before: wooden dentures,
sawdust packing material and leaf-wrapping for Birthday presents.
Then Edward
discovered the dark side of President Washington. Something that hadn’t been
mentioned in any of the history books. In fact, it seemed in dark contrast to
the man that had been dubbed the Father of our country. Edward had discovered a
plot for George to become King Washington, the leader of the entire world.
"Hail to the chief

You're a movie buff. Can you name that quote?
Dang, I cannot. It sounds a bit like Mel Brooks. You got me stumped though.
