The president faced the cameras. “My fellow Americans. We’ve all heard the rumors. Let me assure you, they are completely false. We are in no danger whatsoever. NASA has assured me that the asteroid will miss the earth by a wide margin. Everything is fine. I repeat, there’s nothing to worry about.”
The cameras shut off. The president loosened his necktie and poured himself a glass of scotch. He raised his drink to the room. “Not long now. It’s been a pleasure knowing you all. God help us.”
He emptied the glass in one swig, grimaced, and poured another.
Oh, god, that’s horrifying. But I think that’s probably exactly how it would go down.

Lol. That’s about how it would happen too.

I don’t know, he couldn’t save Batman Vs. Superman… Aw man, that’s just mean. Sorry Affleck, it wasn’t that bad. Nobody bats a thousand.

I’m not sure if a hard-drinking president would make things better or worse. But there’s only one way to find out…
