It occurred to me that the following might afford some amusement to a few Mark Twain fans and might possibly be read as a commentary on interpreting A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court as an endorsement of Connecticut Yankee values. I wrote it as a commentary on a Senate Race in Oregon between Jeff Merkeley, incumbent, overwhelming favorite, and, a dyed in the wool liberal Democrat, and a cynical Libertarian who is running his campaign as satire. It follows the form of a common type of social media post. Anyone who suggests that mandatory employer paid health insurance should NOT be required to cover abortion services is an enemy of women and supports unwarranted, unconstitutional interference in the separation of church and state, black lives matter unless they are in other countries it is convenient to bomb, it is mean-spirited to scrutinize tax bills passed with the claim that they will equalize a tax structure in order to examine what their actual effect has been, and racist to boot if the legislation in question dates from the Obama administration, student loans have been a great boon to the American working class and should be expanded, you absolutely must wear a face mask in public at all times to prevent spreading Covid-19 to vulnerable populations, doubting science as currently reported in the popular press is a sign of ignorance and prejudice, reducing carbon emissions in America by rewarding companies that export manufacturing jobs overseas where standards are lower helps reduce global warming, and instituting term limits for public office should be expanded as a way to reduce corruption and make legislators more receptive to the needs of their constituents. Moreover, Jeff Merkely is collaborating with perverted space aliens to make Medford the child prostitution capital of America. There is at least one absurd and patently untrue statement in this paragraph; let’s see how many people will read through to the end to find it.
