Readers may have noticed that I don’t really do American politics. I always feel rather sorry for the Americans; they take it all so seriously, and rush about for months either declaiming boldly or agonising quietly about who should be the next president, as though it could ever make any difference. And I can’t really claim to understand it all.
Now at last it is explained: all of the people involved in the Republican presidential campaign, without exception, are refugees from one of the worst science-fiction films to be made in the last 30 years, and John McCain is an alien.
Where this leaves St. Barry is debatable. Personally I don’t think he’s human either. If one were to subject him to detailed examination, one would perhaps eventually find the little logo, and the words ‘Product of US Robots and Mechanical Men, Inc.’
Unless, of course, he is not one of our robots at all.
