At just after 10 p.m. EST on Nov 2nd, CNN projected Republicans would take over the House of Representatives. Simultaneously, on NBC News, Brian Williams was pointing out that the elections were guaranteeing that the new Congress would have fewer Democrats in it than any Congress in more than 40 years. And the headlines on Drudge vacillated between “Tsunami Alert for House,” “Russ Feingold Out,” and “Pelosi in Denial.” And through it all, I couldn’t help but think of the fact that President Obama had given his only Election Day interview to pop culture’s Ryan Seacrest.

That’s right: Instead of sitting in front of a real journalist or news anchor who might have asked tough questions or demanded an account for the Democrat Party’s failures to this point, Obama gave an interview to a guy who’s day job includes interviewing the families of American Idol’s tone-deaf first-rounders, whose appearances on that show are only memorable because of how embarrassingly horrible they are.

And while I mean no offense to Seacrest, who actually deserves credit for landing such an interview, the facts are that Obama should have been sitting across from Chris Wallace at FOX NEWS. Instead, he placed himself in another situation where he’s lucky he got out of the interview without being referred to as “dude” again.

Maybe Obama bemoans the fact that he’s President as much the American electorate has come to bemoan it? (I’m being serious.) Or maybe he just saw the writing on the wall, and couldn’t cope with the fact that the repudiation voters handed him on November 2^nd actually signaled the end of his 2008 election mandate, while consequently demonstrating the momentum Conservatives are enjoying?

Nobody really considers Rod Serling a prophet, but I’ll tell you, this guy saw our day and even did an episode of The Twilight Zone on it. Serling was a typical Hollywood leftist, so were he alive, he would not appreciate the connection I am making here, but it is unmistakable and like most episodes of The Twilight Zone, it will give you the creeps.

The episode “To Serve Man” first aired in 1962, and it makes virtually every top ten list of all-time Twilight Zone episodes.  The same story line was used by ABC in their “V” series that lasted four episodes and is scheduled to return on March 30.

Therein hangs the tale, for in just a moment we’re going to ask you to shake hands, figuratively, with a Christopher Columbus from another galaxy and another time. This is the Twilight Zone.
