Laugh at Yourself First: The Great World Leader


Visit Laugh at Yourself First for "The Great World Leader," and more short fiction, scripts, and very little poetry from Paul Juser

This week starts Act II of The Great World Leader. When I left off, the Prime Minister had been murdered by an assassin allegedly mutated by the Prime Minister's most favored weapon of war. Prior to his death, the Prime Minister revealed himself to his chief advisor, Aiden Quartermass that he was not to be an enfeebled old man, and that the Prime Minister's personal assistant, Fischer Port, was also an assassin sent to kill Aiden. Meanwhile, the Minister of War has recieved a written order to use the powerful weapon one last time. The alleged creature implores Aiden to listen to its story of woe, lest he too meet his death on the creature's knife.

This week's life lesson is that when someone underestimates your will to fight, you put on your claws and gore the shit out of them. Call it the 'Moral of Freddy Kruger,' who claims to be innocent of his crimes when he's burned alive in the new trailer for the remake. It can't be worse than ever single sequel. This from the same guys who brought Jason back to life and gave him a personality. Maybe they'll have the guts to do what Rob Zombie did with Michael Myers and take off the mask. If you're here with me in Binghamton, you can hear more of my thoughts on writing this Tuesday at the Art Mission theatre with the Playwright Unit. This writing workshop starts at 7:30 with exercises followed by critique of submitted material. For more information, write to TbStarlight@gmail.com. Nothing new about Keisha Roman. I want to make sure some media remembers her name this week. Thanks for reading.
