Fellow citizens will be hanging on every moment (or steering completely clear) of today\u2019s inauguration at 11:30 a.m. CST<\/strong> when Mr. Make America Great Again pledges to do what a president of the United States of America<\/strong> is tasked with doing. Contradicting his own words, paving inroads for corporate influence to flood Capitol Hill<\/strong>, and belittling women and persons of color at will are three of his many previous behaviors that cannot<\/em> continue. The incoming cabinet, populated by creatures of regressive habits, also seems hell bent on divisive doctrine instead of truly encouraging American unity. We must guard against the potential ill effects of their decisions and protect neighbors who may become more vulnerable than before due to gender, skin color, religion, medical needs, or financial insecurity. While imperfect, the tenure of outgoing President Barack Obama<\/strong> at least left us feeling more human and vital in the fight for cultural discussion and social progress with a stabilized economy in place; we will have to work even harder at it under this new rule.<\/p>\n There is no better time than now to speculate cheekily as to how our thin-skinned President-Elect of Paranoia operates within that thick skull. We could only think of one video that might illustrate our misgivings and equally lend itself to C-U Blogfidential<\/strong><\/span> inclusion, an older parody about hero worship and consumerism and artificial weaves, oh my! Vancouver<\/strong>-based humorist Ken Hegan<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is a contributor to the Canadian Broadcasting Network<\/strong>, an established travel columnist<\/a><\/span>, and senior copy writer at the Blast Radius<\/strong> firm. Hegan also makes the occasional film short such as WILLIAM SHATNER LENT ME HIS HAIRPIECE: AN UNTRUE STORY<\/strong> (1996), starring himself as an overzealous fan who desires the perks bestowed on Montr\u00e9al<\/strong>\u2019s favorite stargazing son, William Shatner<\/strong>, played by Gary Jones<\/strong> (STARGATE SG-1<\/strong>). They meet and agree to place atop Hegan\u2019s cranium the catalyst of Shatner\u2019s glory \u2013 his toup\u00e9e, stored on a Hamlet<\/strong><\/span> prop where it makes dead-of-night calls to seal all those deals \u2013 for two weeks. Hegan realizes the piece is a decoy and steals the real (non-\u201cBones\u201d) McCoy. Chaos ensues!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
