Iambo-Pentametricization of Codified Peroration
“So we have many exciting things that
we will be announcing over the next
eight weeks, I would say things that nobody
has even contemplated, thought possi–
ble, and things that we’re gonna get done and
we have gotten done and we’ve started in
most cases. We’re taking on so many
aspects of things that, uh, but you’ll see lev–
els of detail and you’ll see levels of
thought that a lot of people believed ve–
ry strongly we didn’t have in this coun–
try. We’re going to get things done that they’ve
wanted to see done for a long, long time.”

The Party of Trunk
I’m no friend of conspiracy theory, but I like to believe that the mar-a-lagian operatives’ first step in decoding the secret message for the elephanatic cabal is to reduce the peroration to iambic pentameter.

A closely guarded algorithm processes the emergent stress pattern, extracting the day’s truthiness to be bawled by the Vulpine network. The huge tone and tenor of the vacuity-decoy tossed to the lamestream media is strongly kim-jong-unian, if not putinesque.
