Life Imitates Art

Back in 1993, a movie came out called “Dave.” It told the story of an American president, struck down with a debilitating stroke, being replaced with a double by a conniving chief of staff, who planned to replace the Vice President and install lhimself as the chief executive.

Fast forward to 2025. A president who, although appearing to be healthy, often shows signs of comatose incompetence. We have Miller, Bannon and a willling cabinet of toadies, actually running the government, pushing through executive orders favoring their agenda. \There are rumors of a Melania Trump double and, instead of a fictional Veep Nance, we have, get this, Vance?

The movie has a satisfactory ending and so I’m optimistic. But I’m waiting. Waiting.
