We’re Not a Government, We Just Play One on TV [ARNS]

A leaked video shows Linda McOndemandgland, who plays the Secretary of Education, complaining about how few lines she has. “When I agreed to take this role,” she is heard saying (with much more swearing and much less coherence – such are the joys and the burdens of entertainment journalism), “I was promised that I wouldn’t just be a token girl, that I would have a central part in the show. But I’ve read the first three months of scripts, and the Bitter Twins are getting all the best lines!”

About Ira Nayman

Satirist. Aardvarkist. Sci fi writer. Swift Satire Award winner Ira Nayman gets around. The Ugly Truth, the eighth novel in his Transdimensional Authority/Multiverse series published by Elsewhen Press, came out in July, 2022. “Girls Rule the Steampunk World!”, his 24th published short story, appeared in Brave New Girls: Chronicles of Misses and Machines round the same time.

In addition to his work as an author, Ira was the editor of Amazing Stories magazine for three years. During that time, he edited seven issues of the magazine as well as seven Amazing Selects, including work by Allan Steele, John Stith and David Gerrold.

Oh, and as you may have noticed, Les Pages aux Folles, Ira’s web site of political and social satire, is now 20 years old. In internet time, that’s positively ancient!
