That wintry announcement of John Kerry’s outing was blissful to say the least. Robots everywhere rejoiced in the notion that maybe, just maybe, a robot would be President of United States of America. Just months before, another robot, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was elected Governer of California (see article). So why not John Kerry too. It was simply a matter of time before Mr.Kerry named his robot running mate, and in fact two of our senior writers left their posts here to campaign for the spot. They lost. To a human. We now enter the summer of our discontent.
What are we robots to do with ourselves now? John Kerry has not returned any of our phone calls or emails, and we’re beginning to get worried. Is this a clever ploy on his part to avoid some of the attention DBI’s outing gave him? A calculated move by a bot assimilating into human culture? Or has Kerry turned on us all? We can only hope that his choice of Edwards represents some hilariously ironic statement on the lack of experience required to govern the world’s richest nation, or something like that. For now, keep your wires crossed, and don’t answer the door.
