A little bit of laughter.
I recently wrote a bit of surrealistic fiction on a commission. In this day and age, though, its hard to top reality for the surreal. Imagine my shock, for example when one of my test-readers, upon learning that yes, indeed, Gary Coleman is running for Governor in California, turned to me and said "oh, I thought you had just made that up for the story."
These days it seems its just impossible to beat current events for surrealism. And if you need proof, why then, from the same folks who gave us the Hello Kitty line of logoed school supplies, lunch boxes, and, yes, even vibrators, comes the George W. Bush action figure. And Jill Rachel Jacobs treats of this excursion into Wonderland far better than I ever could in this article imagining the potential.
