    In other words, a whole lot of Faustian chickens are coming home to roost in the GOP's crumbling coop. The party courted those base voters, championed them, pandered to them and ultimately empowered them. Now, that power is subsuming the party, and for the time being, there is no end in sight.

    The amazing thing to me is how quickly they want to implode.

      A dark night; lit in uneven flashes of lightning.
      In the doorway of the chicken coop suddenly stands, - a shadow!

      Fox like, - yet glowing red from within.
      He walks past the rows of sleeping chickens, - and stops.

      Before the rooster, - the ruler of the roost !
      Who pretends to snore.

      The fox devil produces a scroll from the air;
      it is the contract the rooster signed years before!

      "No", clucks Faust the Rooster. "I need more time, I need more wishes,
      I need to use the barnyard bad,"

      The Fox grinns. " gibblets " he whispers.

      In the morning the farmer finds a pile of feathers
      smelling unpleasantly of sulfur,
      - and all the other chicken's feathers have turned white with fear.

      Then 2 fbi agents drive up. Scully and Mulder! They -

      - I have been asked by Dunkirk to stop this right now so I will stop this now and just go away. Sorry. Going now. Now

        Mephistopheles in the Hen house?

        Sounds about right to me.

        :)
