Scene: Far Rockaways, Queens, New York City, NY, just after the gale force winds of Hurricane/Tropical Storm/Cyclone Sandy have moved through, destroying property, flooding streets, and sending trees into houses and cars. The damage is catastrophic.
But thanks to President W. Mitt Romney’s forward-thinking ideas and ideals, the Federal Emergency Response has been outsourced to the private sector and help is just a phone call away.

did you mention that the operator has a thick accent and is reading off a card because apparently does not know answers needed off the top of their head.
A future President Romney? Scared, so scared. No wonder election day is so close to Halloween!
