The Twentieth Century, Section 6

Chapter Ω-tsaan
The New Deal

But while the all-too-human Roosevelt ruled in debauched luxury from atop his arrogant secret lair in Lake Superior (to the common folk), feeding on misguided salmon returning to spawn, a challenger was awakening in the lush prairies of the Great Plains. But before that, from the lands of Russia, where the stench of Communism rose daily in a cacophony of cooperation and equality, and where cruel Stalin forced all ethnicities to get along, came the Comrade Putchyatin, a Communist infiltrator. Upon arriving to much fanfare in New York City, he promised freedom and state-ownership of all things within 3 years.

FDR, sipping his hot-cococain beverage with his harem, was alerted to the rising threat. Then Comrade Putchyatin died of a heart attack.

With this threat out of the way, and in an altered state of mind from so much cococaine and arrogance, FDR forced a new identity for the country, and New Deal for America. The New Deal was, in short, innovative and brilliant, a tactical masterpiece that hit all the right spots. It was also new and unique. It dealt with issues in an important way relevant to our modern-day way of living. Finally, it is important in many, many ways, because it changed everything. But not only was the New Deal important, but it meant a lot to many people, and the emotional attachment brings up larger themes about humanity, loyalty, and the meaning of friendship. Perhaps the best way to describe the New Deal is to say that it was good, and it was important and new and very very creative. But the New Deal was also the gateway into the future, because it was the key to unlock the door to creativity, the door through which man reaches for the stars, because the power of human creativity it boundless and love is the answer to all things. What is the New Deal, you ask? The New deal is many things to many people, and yet, it is one thing, and just as the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, so too was the New Deal newer than the greatness of its deals. Perhaps we will never truly be able to answer that question, but what we do know is that the New Deal proves, once again, that the meaning of friendship, the power of love, the importance of trust, the love of life, the ladder to the stars, and the man on the moon are all important and good.
