THE GREAT WALL - - - and the Karmic Inevitability of the SECOND LAW of THERMODYNAMICS kicking into place

[** President Hu sits in a bullet-proof glass booth overlooking the Bird's Nest stadium grounds. He is surrounded by a great wall of his admiring, unsmiling MSS agents, PLA officers, CSP thugs and an assortment of other Super-Paranoids - - ever on the lookout for Se-Jen Society assasins, Budhist monks & other sociatal riff-raff. ** ]

[** The Crowds below, meanwhile, continue CHEER & ROAR as the Redest-Whitest-&-Bluest of American Olympians stands forth to accept yet another Gold Medal . . . ** ]

MICHAEL PHELPS:

(looking up to the President's booth)

CSP THUG:

(sneering)

"Do not be concerned ... Your Most High & Humble Mightiness ... we've mixed a Concoction of imported "Hot-Chiquita's Tabasco" - Rhino-Horn charged Viagra - a splash of 1972 captured CIA manufactured LSD - AND - a Mega-Dose of cherry flavored "Grand Moses Laxative Elixir" .... and placed it in a complimentary Won-Ton, to be delivered by a Room Service attendant tonight following the celebration dinner."

PRESIDENT HU:

(smiles)

"heh, heh, heh .... Wish I could be there when he ...."

MMS CHIEF

(cuts in)

"Your Most High & Humble Mightiness ... Do you not think that maybe the Capitalist Pigs might get suspicious & raise an international incident cry ??"

PRESIDENT HU:

(falls back into a cross-legged, buddhafully relaxed thought)

"Just keep your eyes on what mischief Secretary Rice was up to in Georgia. - - - The days of the West's contemptible part in world history are numbered ... and ticking away quickly."

PLA COLONEL:

(with a big Moon-Faced smirk)

"heh, heh, heh .... "
