[Author's note: for those of you
unfortunate enough never to have
seen 'Star Trek', the Prime Directive
was a rule that the ship's crew
couldn't interfere in the cultural,
or economic aspects of a planet,
with a lesser technological
development.]

"Hey, LORD?"
[SILENCE.]
"LORD!
LORD!"
"Come ON, Lord!
You need to pay some
ATTENTION, here!
We're in the middle
of an ELECTION!"
"I know, My child."
"Things are extremely TOUGH,
right now; our country
really needs some HELP!"
[SOLEMN NOD.]
"I don't want to be irreverent,
or nothin, but......"
"Spit it out, child."
"Well, I think the country's
goin down the TOILET."
"Well spoken, child."
"Yeah! Speaking of which,
they really need to get
more toilet paper at work.
What is it, Lord: are those
guys CHEAP, or what?"
"Be grateful you have a job,
child."
"I'm sorry, Lord.
I am; eh, the heck with it!
I can just bring in some a'
my own, right?"
"Good, child.
Be resourceful."
"Speaking of resources,
Lord.....our country has so
MANY...! How come our
ECONOMY is so BAD?"
"Because it is, child."
"I like that answer, Lord.
It's straight, and to the point!"
[NOD.]
"Anyhow......maybe, we should
give this new guy a chance,
Ya KNOW?"
[SILENCE.]
"I know Ya can't say
nothin, Lord; I mean,
what with the Prime Directive,
and all."
[LAUGH!]
"That's okay; I understand.
We'll all just have to wait
it out, and see."
[NOD.]
"This particular
ELECTION'S almost as
painful as giving BIRTH!"
"Almost, child."
"You said it, Lord.
Ya know, this new guy IS
the youngest, and most
handsome of the lot.......
and, our country can't be
in any worse shape,
than it is,
RIGHT NOW......huh?"
"Wait and see, My precious.
Wait and see."

Her foes have become the head;
her enemies prosper,
because the Lord
has made her suffer
for the multitude
of her transgressions.
