George W. Does Zork

Remember Zork? I can't even begin to think about how many hours my twenty-something self spent exploring the text-only adventure world of Zork. I loved Zork. Two friends independently sent me this hilarious post from defective yeti, which is a blog I have come across, but don't read regularly. It's hilarious. Even if you don't remember Zork, you'll still get a kick out of it. And, sadly, it's all too true.

Oval Office
You are standing inside a White House, having just 
been elected to the presidency 
of the United States. You knew Scalia 
would pull through for you.

There is a large desk here, along with a few 
chairs and couches. The presidential seal is 
in the middle of the room and there is a full-length 
mirror upon the wall.

What do you want to do now?

> INVADE IRAQ
You are not able to do that, yet.

> LOOK MIRROR
Self-reflection is not your strong suit.

> PET SEAL
It's not that kind of seal.

> EXAMINE CHAIRS
They are two several chairs arranged around the
 center of the room, along with two couches. 
Under one couch you find Clinton's shoes.
