Thurston in DC

Dressed as a caricature of a billionaire in his yachting getup, commodore's cap, blue blazer, white pants and shirt, red silk ascot; I’m standing high upon the stone border that surrounds the Annex of the Treasury Building, across the street and down a block from the White House. I’m a Billionaire for Bush, and we’re here this Saturday in October to offer our counter protest to the masses of misguided liberals who have come to protest the war in Iraq, which has made us in the top one percent so many more millions than we ever expected.

It feels wonderful up here, not only because I have such an elevated view of the teeming masses, but because they love me. The protesters look up, see me dressed so fine, and they see my sign, “Small government, BIG WARS,” and they smile and wave and they aim their cameras at me. I smile, I wave back, I flash them the V for victory sign. I have done something good for the world. Life is good. Life is good to me.
