Andrew Klavan's latest installment of Klavan on the Culture is a fairy tale unlike any you've ever heard:

That was riveting story-telling.  I was scared there for a while, but everything turned out OK.  Much more OK than the South Park version of Imaginationland. 

I think maybe he could get this produced on Broadway next door to Wicked.  Jonathan Gilbert, call your office!  We need a Rush aria, pronto.  Heavy and dripping with menace.  Call it I Want Him to Fail.  And can we work something up about how Barack the Magic Suit lives in DC?  The rhythm's a little off.

"The magic suit isn't wearing any president"

Great line.  It reminds me of a satire piece I tried writing last year and put on Ricochet.

Oy Veh, Andrew. You must be a racist. Bbb but, oh no, I must be a racist too. I hate it when that happens.

Actually, it would be nice to be represented by a suit of any color. This one, as you beautifully expressed, is empty.

That was great.  the Rush Wizard of Oz allusion should win some award.  I've just sent this to the right people...

Nicely done and very prophetic in away that is disturbing as intended....

Would not be amazed in any way if Obamas face did not appear on a new coin, such as the Susan B. Anthony of long past. Would it have value ?

Look forward to a new postage stamp with that imperious image portrayed. One might be thankfull that there are stamps that one no longer has to lick before use.  Considering the mans approach to governing and the ability to print double sided..

Well, you get the drift...

Try to forgive that.. How did we get to this place ??? Outside of not paying attention.

Every time I see those old clips from the campaign (and there seem to be an endless supply) I think that 2012 election advertising should be a no-brainer. Just make the people watch.

Ugh! I completely love this, but why did Andrew have to bring up the birther thing? It distracts from the sheer awesomeness of the video.
