Billy, his wife and two sons begin a roller-coaster ride of fame, fortune, jail, death, resurrection, and a distinguished ranking high on the FBI's "Most Wanted" List.The Government soon decides that all these aliens are terrorists. They must be eliminated. The aliens are playing games they hope will help humans to see the insanity of the American political, economic and military systems. But the Powers that Be don't play games: they make war.

In what most observers consider a political masterstroke, Rep. Jon John (D-MN) today introduced legislation making thinking by Democrats illegal.
"We Americans believe in a level playing field," the congressman said. "And this legislation will do just that. For the last decade we Democrats have been operating at a severe political disadvantage: gathering facts and thinking about our nation's problems, while Republicans have been proceeding totally without facts and thought and have thus gained an enormous political advantage. This must end. Democrats must stop thinking. My legislation will achieve this."
When asked to comment, Republican House Speaker John Ruan said, "No."
"No, what?" asked the reporter.
"Just 'no," said Speaker Ruan.
"But to what are you saying 'no,' Mr. Speaker?"
"Everything," said Mr. Ruan.
