Description


Author David Kray is summoned by Count Dracula to the White Castle to participate in quiz show Guilty as Charged and expose, via his novel World War One, how power politics really works. The narrative characteristically interrupted by a fruitful library visit and nostalgic return to Pittsburgh. Keay's cast of thousands this time featuring: Joe Bison, blowing up his rival's pipeline just like he publicly promised he would, claiming afterwards that Mr. Tupin must have done it because "he knows it doesn't have to make any sense." Ghouls, Ghouls, Ghouls: The Elvis movie in which he plays a poor but happy Caribbean fisherman who discovers strange goings on on a previously unpopulated island hosted by the charming Seth Jeffries and Maxine Lane, with some of the wildest parties ever captured on film! George Burns playing God again, this time as mad scientist Dr. Ouch, proponent of The Function of Gain to supplement our nuclear stockpile because "you can't be too careful." Dealy Plaza's Dallas Daily rivalry with The New York Times, who can always be counted on to encourage and celebrate any act of international aggression on behalf of the home team in Dallas Cheerleaders Do Donbas. Guitar god Eric Blinken and The Enforcers' ten record set, presenting the national anthems of all those nations whose elections we've generously intervened in, in our efforts to sustain worldwide democracy, leaving only Vatican City and Micronesia, included as bonus tracks anyway. Count Dracula as host of Guilty as Charged, a quiz show starring Don Corleone, The Schoolyard Bully and The Frankenstein Monster (embodying all politicians) wherein our contestants vie to provide personal examples of such categories as Projection, Hyperbole, Conflict of Interest, Exceptionalism, Plausible Deniability, etc. Repeated barbs at the expense of Bono... and much, much more!
