November 8. . .
"I swear, I just did it as a joke," said the young man on the TV. "I didn't
think it would actually happen." The camera cut away from the young man to
the reporter standing at the edge of the crowd gathered around the steps of
the Capitol building in Washington D.C.
"That was the scene today in Washington, as Brian Miller, a staff member of
the Electoral College took the credit-and, as some are saying, the blame for
the first third-party victory in presidential election history."
"How exactly, did this happen?" asked he Studio anchorman.
"Well, Peter, it's a complicated legal quandary. Despite the fact that this
young lady should not exist, she does, and it appears an entire manga series
and several episodes of anime were made to cover the whole thing up."
"I see," the anchorman said as he went over his notes. "But how exactly did
she get on the ballot in the first place?"
"Well, as I said, it's a complicated legal quandary. This is what we do know.
The young man you see speaking to reporters behind me is Mike Manmiller, a
political science graduate from NYU. After graduation, he went to work for
the Electoral College preparing the master copies for the election. During
the course of his duties, he added the name of this young lady, apparently as
a joke, to the list of presidential candidates, assuming it would be caught
and corrected before being sent out."
"But it wasn't?"
"No, and that's the problem. Despite the fact that she is underage, and not
even an American citizen, but Japanese. Yet, the American people voted her
into office."
"So what happens now?"
"Well at the moment, a congressional committee is examining this bizarre
string of coincidences and is expected to release it's findings later this
week. But for the time being, this young lady is president of the United
States."
**************************
Tokyo, Japan. . .
In the main room of a small house, the young lady who was the subject of all
the controversy switched off the TV and sat there staring at the darkened
screen for a moment before standing and going down the hallway to where the
man who had made her what she was sat in a tiny home office, going over some
papers.
"Papa-san?" She asked. Where is America?"
"Oh it's far away. Across the ocean." He paused and looked at her. "Why?"
"Because lady on TV say Nuku-Nuku is president there."

Happy Belated Halloween everyone, and don't forget to vote!
