Obie's Secretary of State

Obie may not be as dumb as I thought, bringing Washington's Lady Macbeth that close to himself. Just imaging if you were one of those no-account tinpot dictators in a country where superstition and belief in witchcraft was still strong, and this



apparition landed her broomstick at your national airport, doffed her pointy black hat, and breezed into your office suggesting you do this, or stop doing that.
If I were them, I'd do like she says lest my dangley bits be stricken with some horrible curse that would spread unstoppably and reduce me to a smelly pile of bare bones in about a week. We Americans know well who the Wicked Witch of the East really is.
