As the Patriot Acts: Episode 8




As the Patriot Acts: An Episodic Adventure in Americanism
Rabid Fiction by Tara Parks
Episode 8: Rhinestoned Recycables

(This dramatic episode opens on a bright and warm heavenly runway. President Ford descends the steps of the Afterlife Air Force One. James Brown waits to greet him. President Ford trips and falls to the ground.)

James: Get up! Get on up!

Gerry: Ohhh…where am I?

James: Your soul is full of soul and we got to roll. What took you so long? I been waitin’ since Christmas for you to get here. Ha! (spins)

Gerry: I had to talk to Saint Peter about my remarks to NYC. Of course, he was going to let me in anyway, but I still had a lot of explaining to do. Apparently, he’s a Knicks fan.

James: Well dust yourself off, my man. We got to get you some rhinestones or something. Can’t meet Jesus wearin’ polyester.

Gerry: Seems a bit strang...you helping me through the afterlife.

James: Ain’t no thing but a chicken wing. You know I supported Richard Nixon, ha! Besides, class and race ain’t suppose to matter so much up here, though some people hold onto all that. Oh, take this manly advice: Steer clear of J Edgar Hoover.

Words to live by

"Encourage free schools and resolve that not one dollar appropriated for their support shall be appropriated to the support of any sectarian schools. Resolve that neither the state nor nation, nor both combined, shall support institutions of learning other than those sufficient to afford every child growing up in the land of opportunity of a good common school education, unmixed with sectarian, pagan, or atheistical dogmas. Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church and the private school supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate."


— -- Ulysses S. Grant, address to the Army of the Tennessee, Des Moines, Iowa, September 25, 1875, from Albert J. Menendez and Edd Doerr, The Great Quotations on Religious Freedom
