Thank you for hosting me here at the historic Cedar Island State Fair. My name is Paul, and it would be the honor of a lifetime if you made me your next Senator. You know, I grew up in a small town just 20 miles north of this fertile soil. There is nothing better than coming out to the fair to eat a funnel cake and participate in a meaningful <span style="text-decoration: line-through">photo op</span>... uhh, I mean a meaningful dialog with my fellow citizens. I would gladly take an interview with you. My record of integrity speaks for itself. I have never, and will never, mislead you, the American people. Wait, where are the cameras?

The name is Roger. Yes, <i>that</i> Roger. You remember me as lead shredder for the Trouble Snakes. We had a big hit song back in 1982, and even played at Keith Richards' New Years party. The 'Snakes broke up twenty years ago, but the music never dies. I am still out touring the country to bring the thunder to all my great fans. It has always been my dream to <span class="cough">[hack]</span> <span class="cough">[cough]</span> play the state fair circuit. An interview? Absolutely, if it'll help me sell some tapes. Just don't ask about the Boise gig. I'll say it again, <i>she</i> provided the pudding, I provided the tuneage. [[Do you know the Queen?|Queen - Roger]] </div> </div>

I say "hi", not that other h-word. Did you know that the word h*llo comes from the German holâ, which means to fetch? So when you say that word, it is offensive to labrador retrievers. I came to this fair, or should I say <i>un</i>-fair, to pay my respects to the indiginous islanders, who were forced out by a plague of odorous barn swallows. Can you imagine the systemic disrespect of holding a carnival on this hallowed, avian-scented land? Sure, I suppose I can spare the emotional labor for an interview.

Her majesty, the Queen of Havensborough. We crossed paths last year at the Statue of Liberty. The Queen was visiting our country for the first time, while I was on my weekly tribute to salute American sovereignty. It is no secret that the Queen and I have our fundamental differences. She prefers soccer, while I love all-American football. She insists on chips, while I call them by their God-given name: freedom fries. But let me be clear. While we have our ideological friction, I would <i>never</i> stoop to sabotaging her ride. That's the kind of bottom-feeding, dirty tactic I would expect from my opponent, but never myself. <<PaulNav>> </div> </div>

I know her type. Did you know that the limo she took here released enough carbon to choke an entire pumpkin field full of pumpkins? Do you even hear the screams of the gourds? But that's not my problem with the Queen. Her most egregious offense is that she wears a perfume that is made from rare sargassum, which is vital to the whales' biodigestional health. It is human elitism at its most toxic! But does that mean I would <i>sabotage</i> her? Ridiculous, especially by using an inorganic plush frog made by child labor in West Micronesia. <<AnnieNav>> </div> </div>

The cosmos first stitched our journies together three years ago. During a particularly tumultous tarot card session, the Queen of Wands got stuck to the Wheel of Fortune. In that moment, I saw a terrifying vision: a mortal of great royalty trapped on a giant wheel of neon lights. As it turns out, the tarot cards were tainted with a sticky residue from cotton candy fingers. The skeptics were cruel, mocking my prophecy, and my profession. I have been trying to mend my reputation ever since. But I would never <i>sabotage</i> her visit to make my prophecy come true. It would be especially foolish to interfere with the royal timeline while the moon is in Jupiter. That would be such dark energy. <<FionaNav>> </div> </div>

Nah, I don't know no one named "Queen". Is she from Cincinnati? The real royal pain is that rat who is running the ferris wheel. Last summer in Green River, he ran an extension cord right through my joint. I tripped over it, and dimmed his light show for three hours. He called me an oaching grifter and got me '86ed from the midway. I'd love to see that rat burn, but that don't mean I'd throw no paste in his ride. I'd call a waxie before the Queen takes a brodie. My beef is with the operator, not the cargo. <<KennyNav>> </div> </div>

Freddie Mercury hustled me in a game of snooker. That ratbag. Oh, you mean the Queen of Havensborough? <span class="cough">[cough]</span> <span class="cough">[wheeze]</span> She's not a fan of mine. In 1979 I released a song called "The Queen is a Bowl of Oatmeal Mush". It would have caused a national incident but those plonkers wouldn't play it on the radio. I have since issued a sham apology for the reckless antics of my youth. The Queen has never accepted or rejected my apology. Just radio silence, <i>literally</i>, which really irks me.

Or maybe you should look at <b>Annie</b> who has been a vocal opponent of so-called intrusive surveillance. My point here, folks, is that when I am elected, I will be <i>tough</i> on security. Instead of relying on foreign made cameras, I will create a blue-ribbon task force to crack down on midway malfeasance.

There's nothing more patriotic than driving my American made car to a baseball game, having some apple pie, and feeling the sturdy comfort of domestic-denim blue jeans. As for your culprit, I saw <b>Roger</b> at the ring toss booth this afternoon. He was giving the game operator an autograph. And <b>Fiona</b> knows the fair well, she could probably aim the ring with her subconsious mind. But the bottom line is that under my policies, ring toss will be subsidized for all qualified households. I believe that every American, regardless of socio-economic status, has the God-given right to be swindled in an unwinnable game by a crooked carnie. That, my friends, is the American way. <<PaulNav>> </div> </div>

There is only one common sense choice in this election. Sabotage at the fair is a very serious issue, and if elected, I will crack down on crime with an iron fist. But I also offer a vision of hope. I will eliminate the tax on kettle corn, and make cotton candy more affordable. Because every child, regardless of background, deserves the opportunity to enjoy a sugary treat then puke it all up after riding the tea cups. Let me leave you with this.

Thinkin' back to the days of old, when my rockin' lifestyle was so bold. I wanted to revolt and replay that dance, so I read the field and saw my chance. The ring toss is rigged, I realize, so I gave my autograph in return for a prize. I got me a tool kit with some rusty pliers, found the camera, and snipped the wires. I went to the zoo, I was feelin' fine, opened the latch and released the swine. When no one was looking, I took that frog, and I jammed it right in the ferris wheel's cog. My plan went off, and while the pigs squealed, the Queen got stuck on the ferris wheel. Now take me in handcuffs, you've got my blessin', 'cuz I'm a rock god, and that's my confession. <span class="cough">[hack]</span> <span class="cough">[cough]</span> <span class="cough">[wheeze]</span> [[The Encore]] </div> </div>

You've had some of the best naps of your life, and you get all the carnival food you want, as long as you look the other way on certain issues. <b>Paul the Politician</b> milked the "Carnival Crisis" for all the publicity he could, and coasted to a landslide election win. He broke 90% of his campaign promises, but stayed true to his base on one key issue. He designated the carnie booth as a non-profit entity, and made all carnie food tax deductible. <b>Annie the Activist</b> became a cult hero in the activist community. After a brief stint in an off-the-grid commune, she had a breakthrough in therapy regarding her "self-rightous anger". She considered it a big step forward, and dared to buy a bandana that was not organically sourced. <b>Fiona the Fortune Teller</b> saw her business triple overnight after her oft-mocked proficy of the Queen's peril came true. She moved to New Orleans, where she opened her own practice and works as Nicolas Cage's personal medium. <b>Kenny the Carnie</b> became a celebrity chef, and signed a deal for a show on the Food Network called "Carnie Desires". With his newfound wealth, he reached his lifelong dream of buying a cot, so he can sleep off the muddy ground. <b>The Queen of Havensborough</b> was eventually rescued, after an hour of carnies pulling frog hair out of the machinery. She returned home with a newfound appreciation for American ingenuity, and declared the deep fried oreo as an official part of the royal menu. <b>Roger the Rocker</b> had a massive comeback hit with his confessional banger "God Strand the Queen". He is currently recording his follow-up album "Live from Cell Block B", and enjoys the greatest fame of his life from prison. [[The End]] </div> </div>
