As Rock Benson
travelled home from work in the back of his 28-foot stretch Hummer, he swirled
his martini and smiled. He eased down into the relaxing cauldron that
constituted his Hummer’s hot tub. Thirteen months had passed since his
successor, the network’s number one rated pundit, Herman Bainbridge, had been
annihilated in a tragic accident, but since that time, Rock’s career had soared. Tonight’s episode of his show perfectly illustrated the reason for
this upward trajectory. He closed his eyes and the show appeared against the
backdrop of his eyelids in transcript form.
Rock: Good
evening, Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m Rock Benson, and you’ve hit Rock Bottom.
Tonight we have two special guests, each representing an opposing view on the
existence of a controversial topic. Is Global Warming real or is it liberal
bunk? We’ll present both opinions and then let you decide. First up is
Professor Jeffrey Silvermeyer, head of the climate science department at
Harvard University. He thinks global warming is real. Thanks for being here,
Mr. Nerdelmeyer. Tell us your opinion.
