[Vision2020] Fortunately Phil Roderick and his Allies were Wrong

[Carl Westberg]

Well, Donovan, now that you've straightened the unwashed masses out on 
taxes, I need your assistance on a tricky matter.  I've going to assist in 
an as yet untried, unproven brain transplant procedure.  Dr. Sarah Bellum 
and I will be replacing the brain of an Ultra-liberal with that of a 
thoughtful, extremely knowledgeable young former ASUI senator, hoping it 
will help the poor, benighted Ultra-liberal come to his senses.  My question 
is:  would you recommend making the incision near the brainstem, the 
cerebellum, the hypothalamus, or the cerebrum?  Most importantly, should we 
use a phillips or flat-head screwdriver?
