My entry for the 2003 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction contest.

Political category:

”It might have been a Grey night, but that was all as Tom drove his ramshackle demo-car along Constitution Avenue with the ominous “Right Turn Only” signs taunting him with every passing block and noticing that his gas-gauge was reading empty while knowing the air was leaving his re-tread tires and the 50-50 oil he was counting on was dripping like a sieve out of the corrupted base of this car that he knew would not last another two years, when he remembered his mission was to find some sour-grapes to bring to the funeral he was to attend.”

The Senate Minority Leader is speachless for a change!

Great entry!

I really don't feel like gloating about the win.....I just have this incredibly warm feeling inside ...like all is now right in the world. I feel better about bringing my children up in it now.

I only wish Ronald Reagan could really enjoy this victory with the rest of us.
