VK reporting from a rehearsal space on Santa Monica Blvd. Here is the deal, I am the traveling journalist and video diarist for Hannah Jefferson, but we haven’t found Hannah Jefferson yet. Or rather, Thomas Altheimer, a European, is Hannah Jefferson. He wants to take over the United States but he needs a puppet, one that was born on this soil. What better place to find such a person but here–where everyone wanders around desperate to breathe life into the lines written by others?
Between today’s crepuscular brackets, we’ve met numerous presidential candidates for the Europe 2008 project. Men and women. We knew we wanted a woman because Europe is more a woman than a man, but we were open to meeting some effeminate men. I suppose Thomas, having the enormous ego that he does, believes a woman would be easier to manipulate than a man. But from my time observing him, I’ve learned that he is extremely scared of women. They make him “uncomfortable”. If he is going to be what Karl Rove was Bush, then he better learn how to stare bush straight in the eyes.
Sometime after lunch, we found her. Hannah Jefferson is a tall, composed brunette with a degree from Oxford and a rich ex-patriot, Europhile past. I knew Thomas wanted her from the second I escorted her into the room. It was magic. And the lighting devices in the room started malfunctioning and blinking on and off as if to tell us !!!!SHE’S THE ONE!!!!!!
Rigid and europhilastic. success.
