Dear Democrats, assorted liberals, wannabe socialists and Republicans who want their country and party back from the madness that is consuming all of the United States.
I’m a moderate-wannabe-independent-fool who tends to vote Democrat. The tool that I have is
'the "pen", not 'the sword'. In 2019 I am writing a climate change fiction political parody, not good descriptive fiction, but a goal to save the world/postpone the apocalypse, in a paper-thin wrapper of fiction.
Last weeks post,
May 16th, 2019, Un-Un-Cat, Episode 20. -- FORWARD!!! is in the future. In the story, it is Monday, January 20th, 2021 and I inaugurated my metaphorical Cat-person as president.
The Cat is a symbol to unite the nation. What is important is what she stands for. In the story, her slogan is ‘Sort the data and do the math!’ I wrote this slogan over a year ago. Since then a very interesting thing has happened. A candidate has emerged who has the slogan MATH (make America think harder). This candidate has done a ton of policy work to make a plan to heal the situation we are facing in America right now.
Tho, I sincerely want our next president to be a woman and believe that the Nation needs women in leadership to heal our divide, it is my opinion that this man has a plan that could actually flip the status quo.
His name is Andrew Yang, here is a link to the policy page on his web site to read and judge for yourself.

In my fictional political parody, a group of candidates band together to take on the presidency as a team. The vice president is
Bernie Sanders, the Secretary of State is
Elizabeth Warren.
The 5th in line Secretary of the Treasury is Andrew Yang. He is keeping his promise to empower the people directly with a
freedom dividend of a thousand dollars per month to every American over the age of 18 by serving as the US Secretary of the Treasury.
In my imagination, I also have
Kamala Harris as Attorney General, “dang she would be a kick-ass Attorney General.”
Energetic people person
Corey Booker as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and super intelligent
Pete Buttigieg would be an incredible Secretary of Education. Also, can you imagine how much work would get done adding Climate Change activist
Governor Jay Inslee to the team as Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency?!
I do not name anyone specifically in my fiction, but I am inspired and grateful for all the hard work each of the candidates are doing by reaching out to the American people with issues that matter for everyone as they campaign.
The plan for 2019 is to post a story, one episode per week for 52 episodes. The story is science fiction prototyping and a parody of the mess of current politics.
A Cat is befriended by a Dog from a galaxy far, far away. Together they plan how to save the world. Tho, the cat is less optimistic and she hopes to postpone the apocalypse.
There is also a WikiBook started, March 2019, with the same ideas I have been working on for decades. It is called '
How to postpone the apocalypse' it is a list of ideas for everyone interested in working together to save the world.
Here are links to story episodes posted so far.
During 2019 the story will be Un-Un-Cat (Unedited Unapologetic Catharsis). At some point when I feel this story is complete and edited, possibly with more or better illustrations, the series Un-Cat (Unapologetic Catharsis) will be posted.
About the
www.Medium.com paywall, you can read three episodes for free each month. The odd-numbered episodes are free to read. The even-numbered episodes are behind the paywall. So, even if you start later in the year, a reader could possibly catch up, with the story eventually and those who had a Medium account can help support future projects.
Thanks to all for reading.
Q: Why am I pushing the Un-Un-Cat story out there now?
A: Because I will never forgive myself if I don't post this story during the year 2019.
Q: Why "unedited" it seems to be somewhat edited?
A: I have been torturing folks who know me for editing help and beta reading for years. I know from writing groups and online editing websites that I take more than I give. I just need to stop, push forward and get past this catch-22-thousand.
Also, after 2020 I have made a promise to my loved ones to focus on art or non-political fiction purely for entertainment.
P.S. Please feel welcome to ask questions in comments either here or after the posts on Medium and I will do my best to add to the FAQ.
