Alien Invasion
RECEIVED Tue., Dec. 1, 2009
Dear Editor,
Although Louis Black is averse to conspiracy theories, I have to report this one that is critical to life here on Earth. Aliens have invaded our planet! The TV show V premiered recently to act as subterfuge and confuse us about the reality of the situation. But the evidence is overwhelming. For example, for years our government has been operating with a growing deficit, yet it’s only been a few short months that our country has been besieged by teabagging fanatics screaming about our future debt. Where were they before? I’ll tell you: They were on another planet! They haven’t quite got our system down, though. This explains simple mistakes such as disguising themselves as retired people who protest against socialized medicine – even though all Earthlings know that’s Medicare. Here’s more proof: Remember how during the previous administration people who opposed him were arrested for any anti-Bush behavior – even for wearing T-shirts (2004; West Virginia)? Now, you can actually show up at Obama protest rallies with loaded weapons! Why? Because our police force has been compromised by aliens! Oh, these new cops are trying to fit in. They’ll occasionally shoot or kill some random black person, but that’s largely because they haven’t perfected that skin tone in their disguises and also figure it’s part of accepted cop behavior. Which points back to the first clue – no black teabaggers! So next time you see a teabagger ranting about the end of our society, you’ll know it’s true because the aliens have invaded.
