My Exclusive Interview With a Lone Wolf

It wasn't me I'm telling ya!

It wasn’t me I’m telling ya!

Lately the possibility of terror attacks by lone wolves has been in the news as Al Qaeda and ISIS branch out to commit attacks in the United States. Well today at Manhattan Infidel™ I have found a lone wolf who has agreed to speak to me exclusively.

MI: Good morning, Lone Wolf

LW: Back at ya.

MI: Why did you become a terrorist?

LW: What?

MI: Why are you a terrorist?  Why the attacks?

LW: Woah….what?

MI: Why do you seek to destroy our way of life?

LW: Is this about the cows? Hey man, the damn farmer left the gate open. Is it my fault that I had access?

MI: No. I’m talking about suicide bombing. 

LW: I think you’re confused pal.  I’m a wolf

MI: I am not confused. As a member of the MSM I am one of the elite. And you sir, are a lone wolf. Therefore you are an Islamic terrorist.

LW: Islamic….look. I’m a wolf. An actual wolf. You’ve made a mistake.

MI: I am not mistaken. I am elite.

LW: For the last time pal. Look at me.  I am a wolf. Wolves do not follow the prophet. Hell we don’t have any belief structure at all. We spend most of our days sleeping late, licking our balls and humping sheep.

[Pause]

MI: So you are an Arab!

LW: Come to think of it our lifestyles are similar. No wait. Let me say it one more time. I am not a terrorist. I am not a suicide bomber. Yes I’m a lone wolf but that doesn’t mean – 

MI:  Aha!  So you admit it! You are a lone wolf?  You’re probably planning an attack right now! I bet you have a pressure cooker at your place.

LW: No!  No I don’t!

MI: It is my solemn duty as a member of the mainstream media to hype your threat and sow fear and division among the population.

LW: Wait. I thought your job was to report facts.

MI: Well that too, obviously, when I can. But I prefer to go for the higher truth. I prefer to be fake, yet accurate.

LW: Call me old fashioned but I still believe you should report the facts.

MI: It doesn’t fit the narrative. But don’t worry. When you are eventually shot by police –

LW: Shot? Come on man.

MI: When you are cornered after an FBI manhunt and shot I will be the first to report that you were an innocent person of color who is the victim of white police brutality.

LW: How the hell is that going to help me when I’m dead?

MI: You’ll be remembered as a martyr. People will build statues in your honor.

LW:I  don’t care man. You’re crazy. I’m out of here.

[The Lone Wolf leaves]

MI:  Police!  Police!  Stop that lone wolf. He has a pressure cooker!

[A shot rings out]

LW: Son of  a bitch I’ve been shot!

MI: I saw the whole thing. You had your hands up and were shouting “Don’t shoot” the entire time. Police brutality!  Lone Wolf lives matter!

LW: You’re killing me.

MI: Not me. The patriarchal power structure is. The same power structure that is responsible for income inequality.

[The Lone Wolf dies]

And so ended my interview with the brave freedom fighter for the Religon of Peace.™ He is a martyr. A victim of police brutality. I just hope this doesn’t set up race riots that I can write about. Because that would be wrong. Even it it gets me a Pulitzer.

Captain James T. Kirk Denied New Uniforms by Star Fleet!

Uniforms are expensive!

Uniforms are expensive!

In a cost-cutting measure, Star Fleet announced that James T. Kirk, Captain of the Starship Enterprise, will not receive any new uniforms to replace ones he damages while on duty.

“He was going to bankrupt us” said the Quartermaster General.

We are already taking a lot of heat from civilians about how much Star Fleet costs to maintain. I was hired specifically to save money. Do you know how many times we get requests from Kirk for new uniforms? He ripped it on the Enterprise.

Expenses! Expenses!

Expenses! Expenses!

He ripped it fighting aliens.

Such a waste of Tholian cotton

Such a waste of Tholian cotton

He ripped it fighting Finnegan on some sort of holiday planet.

This isn't my fault! Blame Finnegan!

This isn’t my fault! Blame Finnegan!

He had it torn by a green woman.

Okay we'll cut him some slack with this one

Okay we’ll cut him some slack with this one

Now the last I can understand. There isn’t a man in the galaxy who can resist a green woman. But come on! We have contracted with the Tholians to make the uniforms. The Tholians have the finest cotton in the galaxy so you know that stuff isn’t cheap. And when you factor in transportation costs it’s an arm and a leg. So no. No more uniforms for Kirk. We’re going to make an example of him. Hopefully the other officers will notice and take better care of their uniforms.

In addition to the ban on new uniforms for Kirk, Star Fleet has announced that once the Tholian contract is up it will not be renewed.

We’re going to make the uniforms right here in the good old US of A.  Non-union labor of course. And we won’t be using cotton. We’re switching to double-knit. I’ve done the research and they are cheaper. And they are much harder to rip. I know Kirk is going to hate that. I think he rips his uniforms on purpose just to show off to the ladies.

When word reached Kirk that he would no longer be getting new uniforms he wrote a letter of protest to Star Fleet, parts of which are quoted here:

I know there is a need (to save money) but I think you are being penny-wise and pound foolish as they used to say on ancient Earth. My uniform doesn’t just represent me. It represents the United Federation of Planets. How am I supposed to impress alien leaders (and their wives) with the power and might of the Federation if my uniform is ripped? And I don’t think you in the “home office” appreciated how dangerous it is out here. We have many enemies. Sometimes fights happen and Tholian cotton rips. Sue me. To deny me new uniforms is, as my first officer would say, “highly illogical.”

Until Star Fleet agrees to reinstate Kirk’s new uniform privileges Kirk has arranged to have his communications officer, Lt. Uhura

The white man is whack, baby!

The white man is whack, baby!

sew up his ripped uniforms.

“That’s just like the white man, baby” said Uhura.  “Always having us work on his cotton.”

My Exclusive Interview with Pig-Pen (No Not the Guy From the Grateful Dead)

You know, I influenced grunge.

You know, I influenced grunge.

Today at the Worldwide Headquarters of the unstoppable journalistic juggernaut of Manhattan Infidel™ I have the pleasure of interviewing none other than Pig-Pen (no, not the guy from the Grateful Dead.)

MI: Good [cough] afternoon Pigpen.

PP: Good afternoon Manhattan Infidel. I must say I am pleased to be here. Most people want to interview Chuck or Linus not me.

MI: Well it’s good to have you here. I want [cough] to get your story.

PP: Is my dust cloud bothering you?

MI: [Cough] Nothing personal. I have allergies.

PP: I understand. Many people do not understand why I choose to look like this.

MI: [Cough] And that is?

PP: I am making a statement.

MI: A statement?

PP: I resent your clean privilege.

MI: My what?

PP: My dust is the dust of far off lands. The dust of Mesopotamia. My dust is the dust of Islam. My dust is the dust of the religion of peace™. That’s why I don’t bathe. I resent your infidel clean privilege. You smell like soap. All white westerners smell like soap. It smells like death. So screw you and your bourgeois clean privilege.

MI: Wow. You [cough] really have a lot of resentment stored up.

PP:I  think I have good reason. People hate me for just existing.

MI: Like they hate the Irish?

PP: Exactly. I have a right to my anger. I never get credit for anything!

MI: Credit for what exactly.

PP: Who the hell do you think invented Grunge?  That was me! I used to hang with Kurt Cobain and he liked my look.  I remember him saying, “I’m going to steal your look and cut you in on the action.” But then he was killed by Dave Grohl before he could give me my money.

MI: Wait. You’re saying Dave Grohl killed Kurt Cobain?

PP: Planned the whole thing so he could steal my money. Cheap, ruthless murdering SOB.

MI: That’s quite an accusation. Do you –

PP: And that’s not all. I found the Higgs boson. Do I get credit for my contributions to science? No.

MI: Higgs boson was you?

PP: And those mini Heineken kegs  you can fit in your fridge. Also my idea. 

MI:Wow. I had no idea you were so accomplished.

PP: I get no respect!

[Pigpen from the Grateful Dead enters] 

I am the only pigpen

I am the only pigpen

PPFGD: Hey Manhattan Infidel. Sorry I’m late for my interview.

PP:What? What the hell? This is MY interview!

MI: Sorry. I booked you both. I thought it would be more interesting.

PP: I tell you I don’t get no respect.

PPFGD: That’s Rodney Dangerfield’s line.

PP: F*ck you.

PPFGD: Harsh man. Harsh.

PP: I’m out of here. You’ll all pay. Just like Dave Grohl will.

[He leaves]

MI: So it looks like it’s just the two of us.

PPFGD: Care to share a bottle of Southern Comfort with me and listen to some blues?

MI: Sounds good to me. Just keep an eye out for that dirty Pig-Pen fellow.

[Pig-Pen reenters]

PP: I heard that. F*ck all of you and your clean privilege.

And so ended my interview. This is Manhattan Infidel still living the clean privilege lifestyle.

St. Michael the Archangel Slays Dragon; Animal Rights Activists Threaten Lawsuit

#Dragonlivesmatter

#Dragonlivesmatter

St. Michael the Archangel is facing heat after slaying a dragon.

Sources report that a battle of some sort broke out in Heaven and that the Archangel Michael, together with a cohort attacked and slew the dragon, which is protected under Heaven’s “Endangered Species Act.

As soon as it was confirmed that the dragon had been slayed, authorities from Heaven’s Fish and Wildlife Service fined Michael the Archangel an undisclosed amount.

We take the status of our endangered species very seriously” said a spokesman.

This slaying of the dragon cannot go unpunished. Heaven is all about diversity. Diversity in saints. Diversity in angels. Diversity in beasts. For one of Heaven’s elite to slay a dragon like this sets a bad example. Heaven is based on the rule of law. I know many say the elite are exempt but we shall prove them wrong.

Adding to Michael’s problems are multiple lawsuits against him that have been filed by various animal rights’ groups in Heaven.

The Saints for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (SETA) has called Michael’s slaying of the dragon “the most shameful thing that has happened to Heaven since we let John Ritter in.”

Dragons are magnificent animals. Beautiful and majestic. If we start slaying dragons where does this lead? Do we start slaying Lutherans next? Methodists? Those who believe that Van Halen was better with Sammy Hagar? We are suing Michael because we are outraged. Outraged by his privileged used of violence. We have created a hashtag, #dragonlivesmatter as a way of expressing our feelings in this matter.

So strong are the protests that God himself has had to weigh in on the controversy.

“Yes Michael works for me” said God.

But I’m no micromanager. I never gave him any orders to slay a protected species. Look I’m not a fan of the Endangered Species Act but it is what it is. All I said to Michael was “slay the beast.” I could have been talking about John Ritter. I said nothing about a dragon. I’ll have a talk with him. I’ll probably bust him from Archangel down to Angel. Those stripes are important to him. He might learn some humility. We all have bullseyes on our backs here in Heaven and we don’t need any cowboys going rogue.

As for the Archangel Michael himself, he remains defiant.

“What the hell man. I was doing us all favor” he told friends.

People take things too literally. The dragon wasn’t just a dragon. It was a fight against evil. The dragon had seven heads and they represented the seven deadly sins. You remember sins, right? Some of us still believe in sin. I mean come on people. Give me a break. I didn’t work my way up to Archangel just to have people bitch at me about some damn wildlife.

With that Michael shook his head in disgust.

“Screw this. If anyone needs me I’ll be at Fitzgeralds having a pint. Does Conor still work there? No? What the hell? No one tells me anything.”

Captain Crunch Goes Rogue; U.S. Warplanes Ordered to Sink Crunch’s Vessel as President Meets in Emergency Session With Cabinet!

Crunch goes rogue, destroys American prestige overseas!

Crunch goes rogue, destroys American prestige overseas!

President Obama went into an emergency session with top cabinet officials today as they discussed what to do with long-time Navy veteran Captain Crunch, who appears to have gone rogue somewhere in the South Pacific.

“This is obviously a very dangerous time and events are still fluid” said the Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus.

The President doesn’t want to have to order his ship to be fired upon but he has to act in the best interests of the United States. All we know at the moment is that Crunch has ignored orders to return to San Diego. We also have satellite images of his ship, which now is apparently flying a black pirate’s flag.

Crunch, who served in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and is highly decorated had recently been passed by for a promotion to Rear Admiral.

“He was pretty angry about that” said a source close to Crunch.

I remember him telling me “I’ve done everything my country has asked of me. And now that I just want to retire as as Admiral they deny me this? Well screw this. I’m going to do something dangerous.” At the time I didn’t know what he meant. I thought he was talking about maybe voting Republican.

It soon became apparent that Crunch had something more sinister in mind.

Lowering the American flag on his ship and raising the pirate flag, Crunch told his men their allegiance to the U.S. was over and that they now were going to “watch the world burn.”

At his first port of call in the South Pacific Crunch and his men rampaged through the island, grabbing young women and bringing them back to the ship.

“Big tittied island girls. Get ’em, grab ’em” he told his men.

Satellite images show the Captain having sexual relations with several island women on the deck while his crew watched and cheered.

“He kept saying ‘You’re being f*cked by the Captain, bitch. You like it?” said a witness.

When one tribal leader refused to give up his women Crunch ordered the ship’s guns trained on the island.

“He blew it up” said a Department of Defense spokesman.

He blew the damn island up. It’s a smoking waste right now. Inhabitable. Reminds me of Detroit. I don’t have to tell you the President disapproves of blowing up indigenous peoples. Unless he can’t get to the golf course. Then he gets irritable.

All U.S. warships in the South Pacific have been diverted to join the hunt for Captain Crunch.

“Our orders are to negotiate first” said a commander involved in the search.

Negotiate first and try to bring about a peaceful resolution. This might be difficult to do since no one knows if Crunch is willing to stand trial for his offenses or is even sane anymore. So negotiate first. And then if that doesn’t work we go for the kill.

As to Crunch’s desire to become an admiral Pentagon officials are sympathetic but say there is nothing they can do.

“Look we already have too many white admirals. It’s time to give black people a chance” said Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral John Richardson.

Regardless of the outcome those in Washington are already beginning to speculate on the root cause of Crunch’s recent violent actions.

“Perhaps one of his sailors smuggled a bible on board” is the prevalent theory according to Richardson.

An Address from Charlotte, North Carolina Mayor Jennifer Roberts

I am a Democrat

I am a Democrat

Not all is bad news for the city of Charlotte, North Carolina.  Stung by race riots Charlotte mayor Jennifer Roberts (pictured above) addressed her city, and by extension the country and the world, with a historic and compassionate speech that showed the best qualities of America.

My fellow citizens of Charlotte:

The past couple days have been rough for our beloved city. An unspeakable act of police brutality against a presumed anarmed black man has thrown our city into turmoil.

Once again, we as a nation have to confront the original American sin of racism and slavery.

Yes, I said slavery. Even though slavery ended 150 years ago, thanks to the efforts Democrats such as Abraham Lincoln, could it not be said that blacks still suffer from the effects of that horrible institution?

How are blacks still being affected by slavery you ask?  Simple. As long as we as white people, as long as we as a nation, refuse to see blacks for what they are, protected Democratic voters, there will continue to be violence against them.

We as a nation must do more for blacks.

I am a Democrat. I am proud to be a Democrat. Only the Democratic party cares about African Americans. 

Only the Democratic party regularly gives blacks money. Only the Democratic party supports abortion rights. Many black women live in poverty. Why should they be burdened with black children. That’s why our party has always fought to expand female reproductive freedom so black women can commit an act of love by aborting their children in record numbers.

Why should black men get jobs? Why should they give up their natural talents of basketball and rapping for a middle class existence working for a no doubt racist white supervisor?

Only the Democratic party supports the welfare state.

Why are black fathers needed? It takes a village to raise a child.  Only the Democratic party fights for policies that ensure that the patriarchy will be made obsolete.

We recognize that the eyes of the world on are on Charlotte. That is why I want to thank the protesters who have come from outside the city. In fact my police commanders tell me that a majority of the protesters are from other parts of the country. We thank them for coming here and showing concern. 

Peaceful protesters from all over have come to Charlotte to express their concern

Peaceful protesters from all over have come to Charlotte to express their concern

Lastly I’d like to address the business owners of Charlotte.

Many of you have written to me and expressed your concerns over property damage to your businesses. Some have been looted.

Is profit the only thing you are concerned with right now? Frankly I am ashamed at the attitude of the business owners of our city. Instead of worrying about feathering your own nest with profits in this time you should be helping the black man by lowering your prices or giving your goods away for free. Redistributing them as we Democrats like to say.

To ensure that this will happen and to heal the wounds of Charlotte I am confiscating all business property. Henceforth they will be run by the city of Charlotte for the citizens of Charlotte.

Socialism today!  Socialism tomorrow!  Socialism forever!

Thank you.

This speech will go down as one of the greatest in United States history!

ISIS Guilty of Mustard Attack!

ISIS still uses mustard!

ISIS still uses mustard!

Top U.S. generals have confirmed that ISIS, or ISIL, or “those advocates of the Religion of Peace.” have launched a mustard attack on our troops in Iraq.

Nothing is more horrible than mustard in war” said General Joseph Dunford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Unless it’s some of the stuff that passes for crackers. Or perhaps what our contractors send us and call “pickles” but are really whale penises. Don’t ask me where they get the whale penises. Detroit I think. But anyway what was I saying? Oh yes. The Mustard attack. We take this provocation very seriously. If ISIS weren’t Muslim we might think that they were trying to harm our troops.

According to those who were on the ground the attack happened after ISIS front-line units spotted U.S. soldiers eating hot dogs with spicy brown mustard.

An affront against Allah!

An affront against Allah!

“Allah prohibits spicy brown mustard. That’s why he allows rape. As a consolation” said  Dunford.

When they saw the spicy, brown mustard they became enraged and directed that anger at our troops by firing yellow mustard at them. Several soldiers were injured including one who got some mustard in his eye. God that stuff stings.

As to how future attacks will be prevented, Dunford states that a strongly-worded memo has been sent to troops in Iraq cautioning them against “provocative acts” that might be interpreted as hate crimes.

We have already arrested the soldiers that were using the spicy brown mustard. They will be court-martialed. It is hoped that by showing ISIS that we take their values seriously they will stop attacking us. The United States is a friend to Islam. Islam and the United States go back almost to the beginning of our country. Our Declaration of Independence is based on many of the beautiful principles of Sharia law. Except for the ass raping of course

Order no. 775C, dubbed “mustard yellow” by troops has asked all troops to use only yellow mustard on their hot dogs so as not to antagonize the enemy.

While compliance is not as high as officers had hoped there are reports of a decrease in mustard attacks along the line.

“Now that we’ve stop antagonizing them (ISIS)” said Dunford, “we can bet back to doing what the military does best. Showing our appreciation for the Prophet.”

However the truce remains uneasy across the front line.

“We are crossing our fingers and hoping none of our troops uses Grey Poupon” 

You wouldn't happen to have any grey poupon?

You wouldn’t happen to have any grey poupon?

said a colonel. “If that happens then all bets are off. We might actually have a war on our hands.”

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest has announced that President Obama intends to travel to Iraq before leaving office in January.

“The President does not want his legacy tainted by Grey Poupon. He is a yellow man with a yellow temperament and yellow values.”

Hipster Hillary Has Michael Bolton Perform at Fundraiser!

Democrats are hip!

Democrats are hip!

Proving once again that the Democratic party is the home to everything hip, Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had legendary singer Michael Bolton perform at a fundraiser.

“I wanted a performer that would energize our base of youthful voters” said running mate Tim Kaine.

And who better than Michael Bolton. He’s popular and at 63 relatively young compared to Hillary. He’s a Democrat and women still swoon when they hear him sing. I know my wife does. Okay actually he was our third choice to energize the youth vote, but Paula Abdul was cleaning the grout in her bathroom and Arsenio Hall was working his shift at Arbys. But we made the right choice. I mean look at that woman over there. She’s youthful. She’s probably only 50! And she’s positively swooning!

Indeed the mostly youthful crowd of 50 year olds appeared awestruck by the sight of Bolton.

“I used to listen to him all the time in the ’90s.” said one fundraiser attendee.

“Bill Clinton and Michael Bolton. Both remind me of my youth” said another.

As the crowd grew more excited it was time for the man of the hour. Looking tan and relaxed for a 63-year old with hair plugs, Bolton took to the stage and reminded everyone why they should vote for Hillary.

“She’s progressive. She’s hip. She’s elite like us” said the crooner.

And look at the alternative. Donald Trump? What person with an IQ over 60 could vote for him. He’s dangerous. If he’s elected he’s going to destroy our Constitution. I don’t know how I haven’t been following the campaign that closely but CNN assures me this is true.

And with that Bolton launched into his signature song.

When a man loves a woman

Who may have a serious neurological disorder

Can’t keep his mind on nothing else

If she’s bad and uses a private email server

He can’t see it

She can do no wrong

When a man loves a woman

Who runs a corrupt foundation that trades State secrets for cash

I give you everything I got

But at least now I can do business with the government yeah oh yeah

When a man loves a woman

Who passes out at a 9/11 Memorial because of the flu

Deep down in his soul

He knows she’s not up to the physical challenge of being President

But she’s a woman and not voting for her would be sexist

Yes when a man loves a woman

Even a portly 70 year old 

With a possible neurological impairment

I know exactly how he feels

‘Cuz baby baby baby

I’m rich and even if she drives the country into the ground

It won’t affect me.

And with that Bolton closed his set and once again reminded those in attendance to vote for Hillary Clinton.

“She’s a compassionate socialist and she’s going to turn us into Venezuela”he said as the crowd cheered.

Robin in Trouble with IRS!

I got nothing to hide man. Abolish the IRS!

I got nothing to hide man. Abolish the IRS!

Robin, renowned sidekick and “close personal friend” of Batman has announced that he is being audited by the Internal Revenue Service.

“Yeah, they’re coming after me” said Robin.

You know I’m not W2 I’m 1099. I’m an independent contractor working with Batman. I don’t technically work for Batman. I don’t know why he never hired me. He keeps promising to. I took this job because it was a contract to hire position. Or at least Batman said it was. What it all boils down to is the cheap bastard doesn’t want to pay payroll taxes for any employees. Even Alfred the butler is a contractor. Different agency of course. He’s support staff not a highly qualified crime fighter such as myself. And you’d think that as a highly qualified crime fighter the IRS would cut me some freaking slack!

Robin’s plea that IRS cut him some slack appears to have fallen on deaf ears.

“The IRS has a responsibility to collect revenue” said IRS commissioner John Koskinen.

We must generate revenue for the government. After all, without the taxable income the government covets who would build roads and schools? And frankly it doesn’t matter if your job is in the public interest, such as crime fighting. Police, firemen, doctors and nurses all have to pay their taxes,whether they are W2 or 1099. As an independent contractor Robin has a responsibility to calculate his taxes and submit them to the government on a quarterly basis. He hasn’t done this. That is why we are auditing him.

Despite Koskinen’s explanation Robin remains defiant.

Screw the government. We had roads and bridges and schools before the 16th amendment. I’m sick of the government and I’m not giving them a drop of my income. If I have to I’ll renounce my citizenship and live offshore. That way they can’t get their money-grubbing hands on me. It’s shit like this that made me register libertarian. No government is the best government. Leave us alone. You want less criminals? Don’t pass stupid laws. Do you know what Batman and I did yesterday? We went after some guy who was selling cigarettes without paying taxes. Crime fighting my ass. Sometimes it feels like we are only generating revenue for the state.

Robin’s nominal supervisor, Batman has cautioned a more politic approach.

I keep telling Robin to tone it down. I can’t afford to piss off the government. If I do they have the power to tax me out of business. Only two things scare me. Catwoman and the IRS. Oh, and shellfish. Yeah I have horrible allergies. Once while chasing the Joker I ate some shellfish for lunch. I swelled up so badly Robin had to finish the job. He f*cked it up. Actually he f*cks everything up. Thank god I’m not paying any payroll taxes for him.

The IRS has given Robin one month to come up with the money he owes them.

“If we don’t get our money in a month we’re going to sue his ass off. Then the only crime he will be fighting will the advances of his cellmate” said an official at the IRS’s Gotham branch office.

My Exclusive Interview with FBI Director James Comey

Put tape over it!

Put tape over it!

Today at Manhattan Infidel I have the pleasure of interviewing the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, James Comey himself.

MI: Good afternoon, Director Comey.

JC: Please, call me Pedro Marcon.

MI:  Um. Okay Pedro.

JC: The trick to success in the FBI is stealth and hidden identities.  Pedro Marcon is one of my many aliases.

MI: But you look like James Comey.

JC: Disguise is all in the eye of the beholder. If you sell your disguise enough people believe it.  

MI: Really?

JC: Are you familiar with Denise Richards?

MI: Yes. Beautiful actress. Former Bond girl.

JC: She doesn’t exist. That was me. I used that disguise for a few years to gather intel.

MI: But she had children!

JC: As I said, I sold the disguise.

MI: Right, Denise. Anyway, back to what I wanted to talk about. You recently said that everyone should put tape over the webcam on their laptops 

JC: Yes. A sensible precaution. People are watching.

MI:  Who’s watching?

JC: The FBI.

MI: But you’re the FBI.

JC: Am I? Or is this a disguise?  Perhaps I’m really Denise Richards pretending to be someone called James Comey who says he sometimes pretends to be Denise Richards.

MI: But – 

JC: You know Manhattan Infidel you really should have put tape over your webcam when you google photos of Denise Richards. I saw what you were doing. If I weren’t a Hollywood starlet with young children perhaps we could act on your fantasies.

MI: Wait a minute. You are not Denise Richards!  You are James Comey!  Director of the FBI!

JC: Am I? 

MI:You’re a man. Wearing men’s clothing. You are not Denise Richards!

[Charlie Sheen enters]

CS: Denise baby.  I will always love you. 

[They kiss]

MI: What the hell. Charlie you know you’re kissing James Comey, the Director of the FBI, right?

CS: No I’m not. I’m making out with Denise Richards.

JC: What did I say about selling the disguise? Hey Charlie I have some coke. Care do to some with me?

CS: Hell yeah!

MI: But James cocaine is illegal. You’re in the FBI. Should you be doing this?

JC: There is no such thing as cocaine. It’s sugar water. We disguise it. Selling the disguise baby. Selling it.

MI: So the war on drugs?

JC: It’s something we came up with when we were all drunk at a convention somewhere. Or if I were really James Comey that’s what i would say. But I’m Denise Richards.

MI: No you’re not!  Stop saying that!

CS:  Hey Manhattan Infidel, would you like to have a threesome with me and Denise?

MI: Oh what the hell. Why not.

JC: Just remember to put tape over the webcam on your laptop. I wouldn’t want anyone from the FBI to see us.

MI:  But you’re the – oh I give up.

And so ended my interview with FBI Director James Comey. Or someone claiming to be James Comey who might be Denise Richards. Or perhaps it was Denise Richards claiming to be James Comey pretending to be Denise Richards. I’m confused. I’m going to have to sit down. After I put tape on my webcam.
