"...and that was Tray Donohue with the weather. And now on to our top story," said the newscaster. "Today at 3:10 PM, our beloved CEO Jason Green announced his decision to name Michael Ellis Minister of Silly Walks. Lets go to our correspondent, Gavin Millars, who is attending the victory party of this truly bizarre individual. Gavin?"

The image on the screen changes to that of a handsome young man in a bright blue suit, standing on the steps of a grand building.” Thank you Tiffany. As you can see behind me, throngs of adorers have filled the streets in jubilation at the announcement of the promotion of Michael Ellis. Yes indeed, he seems to be a real crowd favorite."

"Now Gavin," says Tiffany, "do you think that this job will be easy for the new minister? After all, such a prestigious posting must carry with it a great deal of responsibility."

"Well, I cant be sure Tiffany, but I am sure that whatever the- oh! The Minister has just arrived at the scene. It looks like he is approaching the podium right now, and I believe he has his pet ant and running mate Marcus in his left hand. Yes, he does seem to be climbing the steps, and oh! He's fallen! No, wait, he was just walking silly. It seems that he is putting one leg forward, one leg backward, and kind of spinning his heels as he climbs the stairs. This is truly the grandest acceptance speech walk I have ever seen in my three weeks of news casting! Oh, the emotion and power in those steps and, oh! He really has fallen this time! Ok, whew, he got back up. Now he is at the podium. Lets listen to his speech."

"Ladies and Gentlemen. I would like to accept this award," Michael breaks off as a Marine leans in to whisper something in his ear, "I mean position, not award, in the memory of my late friend Chris Quinn, who tragically had a heart attack and fell out of a window on to an exploding bomb, and was killed in a shooting accident, and to whom my best friend Marcus formerly belonged to."

The face of Gavin Millar once again fills the screen. "Wasn’t that just a wonderful speech everybody? Lets all give a big hand to the new minister! But wait! A screen on the building wall has just lit up, I think, I think it's... yes! It is Jason Green, our beloved CEO, come to congratulate Mr. Ellis!"

"My dear Michael," said Jason, "It is my pleasure to present to you, on this day, your appointment present, which is to say, a rather large one, so I didn’t bother to wrap it since paper was so expensive last year and whatnot, and... Oh dear, I appear to have forgotten what I was saying. Oh yes! It is my pleasure to present to you the Firebat battlecruiser ENSS Insufficient Yield!"

"Isn’t that just wonderful everybody!" said Gavin cheerfully. "The minister is bowing and walking silily over to the waiting dropship which will whisk him off of this space station and down to Earth! Good Night everybody!"

"And good night to you, Gavin. Our next story takes us to the suburbs of Mars, where we investigated the Royal Hospital for Attractive Young Women Who Are Not Particularly Ill..."

with a motion reminicent of a duck trying to Moonwalk across the deck of an aircraft carrier during a hurricane, a single individual enters a small office in the depths of the Gelfland parliment building.
"what do you think you're going you worthless peice of slime!!!!" shouts the man seated at the desk.
"sorry bob, I forgot they rearranged the building."
"that's fine. see you at lunch."
he slips out.
"stupid git"

three minutes later, Nathaniel Ekki-Ekkii-P'kang-Zoop! reaches his desk, he sits down, then carefully rotates the chair to face the desk. he turns on his computer, surprisingly, there is a memo from the international affairs office:

RE: comparable position

nathaniel disliked the new AIs, a machine reading for you was one thing, but writing memos should have been left to real bureaucrats.
