David Foster Wallace: “Of necessity, one can get elected by displaying the pretense of civility; be they revolutionary notions or conventional. It makes no difference.”
Pablo Picasso: “That requires an infinite tolerance for bull chips.”
Malcom X: “See the last few presidential elections?”
The entire panel shrugged.
Ted Pabst: “Well, I guess we’ve come to a dead end. I still don’t know. What is it like to be alive today?”
Timothy Leary: “Why don’t you ask one of the zombies walking around your local mall with six maxed out credit cards?”
Thomas Jefferson: “The federal government is patrolling the mall?”
David Berkowitz: “If not that, then the cities’ main streets. Freedom rests in the back alleys.”
Though uninvited, Bill Clinton’s hologram breaks in to say; “I keep telling you. It’s simple. It’s the economy, stupid.”
David Berkowitz judgmentally yells; “No, it’s not,” then jumps up and knocks over the camera. He grabs the computer, makes a few keystrokes and everyone but Ted disappears.
