Nixon and Coal
I was watching Real Time with Bill Maher last night, and one of the guests said something about how coal has killed more people than any other form of energy. I went to sleep after that and had a pretty bizarre dream where there was this big coal monster that was going around stalking and killing college-aged environmentalists with a huge kitchen knife like Jason from Friday the 13th. Then these men in black kind of guys would show up to clean things up and cover it up (their version of "clean coal" I suppose), and it was all being led by some shady government sp00k guy. So when the media found out about it, they sent Bob Woodard and Carl Bernstein to investigate, and it turned out that the government sp00k guy was a clone of Richard Nixon (!), and that the whole program was designed to attract Woodward and Bernstein so that Nixon’s clone could get revenge for the exposure of the Watergate scandal. So when they first see that it’s Nixon, one of them says: “You! But how?” And the other one says: “Why?” And then Nixon shoots them and says: “I’ve got a very long memory, mister!” I think it would make a great TV movie! Maybe it could be sponsored by the coal industry.
