Tweedledum and Tweedledee
agreed to battle the Adversary for Tweedledon. Tweedledum would
be the Committee to Re-elect the President, while Tweedledee would
handle the Public Enlightenment.
The Adversary, aka Alice in Wonderland, aka AIW, was an outsider who
had come to Wonderland
illegally through a whole in the porous border with reality. She
peddled a dangerous, radical ideology called "logic." She scared
the shit out of Tweedledon, who
had already whipped up the slogan "Send her back" to dog AIW's steps
through Wonderland. AIW always responded, curiously, with, "Yes,
please."
So Tweedledee hit on an attack-ad strategy. He called it "More
Mad Tea Parties with AIW."
The first "Mad Tea Party" ad goes went as follows: "The Evil
Adversary AIW wants you to believe that three inches is not a good
height to be, and there's no such thing as a treacle well, and you
can't believe impossible things. Contrariwise, the Leader Tweedledon
wants you to believe only
impossible things!"
"I like Tweedledum's attack ad very much!" gushed AIW. "Everything in
it is true!"
"Ah, ha!" cried Tweedledum. "See what an idiot AIW is? That ain't
my ad nohow! It's Tweedledee's! Ain't no connection between
us nohow!"
