Yesterday, I wrote an entry for the 'crats which was well received, and I thanked various people a couple times as their compliments came in. So far, so normal. Mogogo later came along and took my two thanks to be sycophantic dotage of the readership, bowing and preening and giving encores where restraint and dignity would have required none. He would have been right, had I in fact been bowing and preening and giving encores. Meanwhile, today we were speaking and I was able to cause his head to explode. This was achieved by a series of well-timed jokes, allusions to old arguments, explanations of Lutheranism (I couldn't believe that Mogogo didn't know the early history of the Reformation) and a sing-along of the English hymn, Lord of the Dance. "Dance, then, wherever you may be / I am the Lord of the Dance, said He / And I'll lead you all wherever you may be / And I'll lead you all in the dance, said He." Now "Oscar" has chimed in with this entry written expressly for the purpose of writing a comment. But, bonkers as he is, that one comment is now eight. The last but one is very funny, because it apes a moment during my earlier conversations with Mogogo during which I litanised all the ways in which I roundly routed, trounced and defeated him. "You are Liston to my Clay, Napolean to my Waterloo, Marlowe to my Shakespeare, Judaism to my Christianity, Christianity to my Islam, Islam to my Bahá'í faith." Etc. The Mogogo/Oscar entity has caused a schism on the Neocrats! Which is ironic, because he didn't even know who Luther was!

This is an unprecedented move by an incumbent Neocrat, Jennifer, and my sources indicate that it comes only after a fierce internal debate amongst the Neocrats as a whole. We can expect that this unprecedented act of contrition from a leading Neocrat will weaken his standing, and we can expect him to play a diminished role in future developments. Neither Mogogo nor any members of his camp could be reached for comment tonight, but it is understood that he is seeking solace in the arms of whiny white-boy musician Tom Yorke, chanting his own mantra, "I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo, what the hell am I doing here?"

Brilliant. Namaste. /surprised that last word wasn't part of the cloud //cloud only counts posts, or comments also?
