On May 1, 2003, President George W. Bush declared an end to major combat in Iraq. Since then, hostilities and death tolls continue to rise. Tensions between the once dominant Sunni minority and Shia majority also continue to escalate--From the CRS Report For Congress: Iraq Milestones Since The Ouster Of Saddam Hussein, updated June 19, 2007.

I pitch my my new HBO series

And here's the pitch ...

It's hilarious, it's a rip snorting comedy of errors that would do Shakespeare proud. Here's the hook, (And the hook brings you back! I ain't telling you no lie!) We, the people, (See it's already funny!) have a candidate running for the highest office in the land who says things but is always contradicted by his advisors, the same advisors that run his campaign and will surely be appointed to important positions once his sham campaign is over and won.

Oh, not only do his advisors constantly contradict him but he also contradicts them. Meanwhile it's never in doubt that he's a serious candidate. It's beyond parody and almost as funny as if it could really happen. It's Bulworth, except instead of not being able to lie, our candidate is constitutionally incapable of telling the truth.

But, and here's where HBO and their astounding feats of daring-do come in: once elected the war becomes funny, sort of like Hogan's Heroes being held by the Nazis. THEN, we'll have his generals and lowly foot soldiers being undercut by him at every turn. Scenes of body parts flying and hitting the camera are followed by statements from the Commander in Chief that Iraq couldn't be going smoother.
>
It will be an exploration into the mind of a psychotic mass murderer sans depressing self reflection, sans guilt. The country, having committed to an insanity so wrong that it threatens our well being, is, at the same time, impervious to the reality of what's really going on and like a condemned man, jokes on the way to the gallows.
>
Oh, did I mention the same undercutting happens domestically because their's no money in the budget for anything except making the middle class disappear?
>
 Hahahahaha, what a riot! Whataya think?
