Here's an idea. There've been such sort of "fantasy story" threads on some forums where the first guy says "Once upon a time...", then the next one adds 3-4 words, then the next one and so on and so forth. In time, a completely incoherent and often hilarious never-ending story is compiled this way, every next commenter adding a few words to it and eventually it starting to look like the ramblings of a drunken maniac. :-)

So I thought... could we make a political story here? So here's how I imagine it:


- First guy starts the story with a 1-line statement. It could start with the usual "Once upon a time..." and it could be about any political person or event.
- Second guy adds the next 1-line addendum to the story.
- Etc, etc, etc. It's about politics (mostly) and it could take the narrative into all sorts of UNpossible directions. Fiction works that way, no?

So? Who's in? Let me just begin with the classic line, and may the next commenter add the next 1 line. But let's make it like a string of follow-up comments rather than many separate sub-threads! It means every next guy should comment below the previous one and not open a separate thread, because that'd be confusing. This way we would make it more coherent (like that's ever possible!?)
So...
