Time is for the
bourgeois, baby. We’ve got the moment.
—Ed Sanders, The Family, 1971
Sir,
The news here in the capital has been disturbing of late. I
refer of course to the enclosed newspaper clipping entitled, “Police Arrest Woman With Cocaine Breast
Implants.” Let me be the first and hopefully last to assure you that,
contrary to various reports laid thick with malice and innuendo, this woman and
her narcotically-enhanced bosom were not
en route to this embassy. Believe me
when I say that I understand the implications and extreme sensitivity of the
situation, given what happened here three years ago with a certain junior ex-consul
who shall not be named. We are doing our best to keep a tight leash on the
press regarding the specific details. It is unclear what this woman may or may
not be telling local law enforcement, but you should know that I have deployed
field agents to make sure whatever she says will be (a) as little as possible
and (b) easily discredited.
As for the second clipping, “Man Jailed For Causing Terror With Dildo.” The man in question is, sadly—but to
absolutely no one’s surprise—a US citizen. His court-appointed attorney has
already made contact with the consulate. We are doing what can be done. Which,
as you can imagine in a case like this, is very little indeed. Perhaps a few days or weeks in a cell staffed
by the jackbooted thugs currently in the employ of the police apparatus here will
prompt our friend to reconsider the perils of dildo terror.
Which brings me to our next item, sir: Apparently the heavy
metal band GWAR is planning a
concert here next month. As you may or may not know, this musical troupe
originates from Richmond, VA, and costumes themselves as degenerate sex monsters
from outer space. Their leader, one Mr. David Brockie, a.k.a. “Oderus Urungus”
has been known to wield a two-foot phallus that fires neon-green semen into the
audience. I don’t need to tell you how this might be received in the capital,
sir. The band is also notorious for staging mock executions of celebrities and
elected officials. And though I realize we use the term “elected officials”
tenuously in reference to our local policy makers, this fact in no way
mitigates how a mock execution might be interpreted by the “elected officials”
in question. Any input or suggestions you might have vis-à-vis this scenario
would be most welcome, lest we avoid a most unpleasant international incident.
Of course I would be amiss if I did not give an update on
the most pressing issue here in the capital as far as this consulate is
concerned. I refer to the attached clipping, “Nazi-Acquired Buddha Statue Came From Space.” As the article notes,
the statue in question is known as “Iron Man” to researchers and was carved
from “a rare class of space rocks known as ataxite meteorites.” The Iron Man is
9.5 inches tall, weighs roughly 23 pounds and is nearly a thousand years old.
It is the “only known illustration of a human figure to be carved into a
meteorite.” In other words, sir, it is priceless. Our field agents are
currently assembling a plan to make sure it does not fall into the hands of our
enemies, if you get my meaning.
Last but not least, I will refer you to the fourth and final
clipping, entitled “Stripper Turned
Minister Claims Rapist Demons Make You Gay.” I’ve included this one purely
for your amusement, sir. She’s obviously adopted a stage name for professional
purposes, but the woman in question was a former candidate for the US Senate.
Unfortunately, there’s no photograph included in the article, but I trust you
can guess who I am referring to.
Good day, sir.
