And speaking of puppets, I have a side project to scratch, a puppet show about a puppet show. More precisely, a Greek Tragedy puppet puppet show.

Here, George Dubya plays the son of wannabe god George Herbert. Raised in a social vacuum, or alternately a plastic bubble, George Jr. is eventually placed in the position of laundering his father's dirty socks and business. In the fabulous denouement (which also features a light show), Lon Chaney, oops, I mean Dick, sits in a room with a puppet of George Dubya, answering questions for both as the 9/11 investigative committee griddles them.
