For a moment, Carson seemed to sense that something was wrong; after a long pause, he started toward the stage. But before he could step out, Muir called for Ted Cruz. Carson froze, and waved Cruz past.

<SNIP>

Then Raddatz introduced Donald Trump, who sauntered out from behind the same curtain but didn’t take the cue. Hey, he’s out of practice after skipping the last debate! Trump lined up behind Carson, and the two stayed off-stage.

Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush made their entrances without incident, but neither moderator called for John Kasich.

Muir and Raddatz seemed not to know that anything was awry; they were facing the audience, with their backs to the stage. So when Raddatz wrapped up the intros — “ladies and gentlemen, the Republican candidates” — only four of the seven were actually in place.

The crowd noise for the guy before Carson drowned out the announcement of Carson's name, and Carson didn't hear his introduction. There should have been a floor manager directing traffic, or ABC shouldn't have had that little offstage runway for the candidates. Awkward, indeed. Then to compound the confusion, nobody introduced Kasich. These idiots could fuck up a two car funeral procession.

I suggest that you go back to your bunker because you never know, Xenu's arrival could be right around the corner. Of course, you know what happened last time.

My suggestion: Look for anything that appears like a DC-8 and hunker down, praying to L. Drunkard Hubbard that the body Thetans in your brain don't give your position away. Maybe you didn't give enough indulgences to your church to be totally clear. If I were you I would avoid ever going out in public. Just to make sure.

Or maybe just fuck off.
