          Once upon a time, the Antichrist visited the Lunatarian Convention. He stood under a sign bearing their motto “Become Ungovernable”, and he said, “Vote for me, and I will give you power. You will be my top underlings, and together we will rule the world.”

          Pandemonium broke out on the convention floor. The Lunatarians booed, jeered, hissed, and cursed. Even the Objectionablist faction expressed emotions.

            The Antichrist said, “That’s nice. But join me, if you want to win. If you don’t want to win, then keep your 3%.”

          The Lunatarians booed louder.

The Chairman declared the Antichrist to be ineligible as a Lunatarian candidate. The Antichrist stomped out of the convention hall, to the cheers and jeers of the Lunatarians.

Later that week, the Antichrist was in Court, sitting in the defendant’s chair. The Judge asked the Foreman, “What say you to the first charge?”

The Foreman said, “Guilty!”

The Judge asked, “What say you to the second charge?”

The Foreman said, “Guilty!”

And so it went, for a total of sixty-nine verdicts, all guilty.

 

Moral: Don’t tie your rowboat to a sinking ship.
