Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 22, 2010
Transcript:
Kate: Hey, Daddy... I just want to give you a heads-up. Joe: On what, Kate? Kate: Well... Danae heard about Mark Twain's autobiography being published 100 years after his death, and it gave her an idea to take it a step further. Joe: Sigh. OK... how? Kate: She says it'll be the first ever prescient autobiography. Joe: Prescient? Danae: Chapter 3: 2020-2025, the Pulitzer Years.

I’m waiting for chapter 7, when she takes over the UN and bans “booger-brained boys” from planet Earth …

With Danae, never the Twain shall meet.

She’s thinking ahead. Isn’t that far out?

Autobiographies are a little creepy at best, but autobiographies by the very young (such as 16-year-old pop music flashes) are sad. A prescient autobiography is rather self-serving. –But, then, this is Danae….

What’s that saying about not counting your chickens…? Ah, screw it. She hasn’t learned that “The World According To Danae” isn’t “The Way the World Really Works” even after all this time. She just doesn’t learn from her own mistakes. I think she has an excellent chance as a corporate executive or even a politician.
Pres. Danae… O.o Gah! Where’s a sharp object!? I need to poke out my mind’s eye!

At what point does she become the Anti-Eckert?
OH! RIP JFK, 11/22/63 (Wonder if we’ll ever find out what really happened?)

I love Danae. Such self-confidence! Such wonderful dreams for her future!

Fairport2, not sure I share your assessment of Twain. He saw the dark side of humanity, true, but when he called it, he was generally right. I think his critiques are largely on unjust leaders and the willingness the rest of us to be abused without making a peep.

Pulitzer prize is harder: you have to do something to earn it, not just have the potential.

RC, I agree with you up to a point. But Kennedy was sleeping with a mobsters girlfriend, and Bobby was seriously cracking down on organized crime. And the killer was killed. Simple logic would make it a high probability of a mob hit.

Danea is using Leopold’s computer. No wonder she’s the way she is.

I hope either Danae is really prescient, or she has a really vague style, or she’s gonna be doing a lot of retracting bad predictions.
Wasn’t that Nostradamus’ trick? Make it obscure and symbolic enough, and you can find some way to make it fit.

sandfan said, “Pulitzer? What, no Nobel?”
That’s covered in Chapter 4.

pbarnrob – thanx – I thought I was the only one remembering that awful day. I don’t think we will ever find out what really happened, because too much evidence shows that too many folks in high places were obviously involved.
