POWER TO THE PUPPETS.

This year's election augurs well for better satire. A Trump puppet is much funnier than an Obama puppet. And, making fun of Hillary is not as funny. To me, at least.

If we still had the collaborative polling tool, urtak, we would know which puppet on our show appeals the most to different audience segments. Back when we launched Puppet Nation, our urtak polls were driven by participants, not pollsters. With urtak, participants could help ask the questions people care about the most. And, we wouldn't have to guess whether this rising cast of characters is more entertaining than some of our other more "namby-pamby" puppets.

Back to the future. Out of the darkness, it seems to me quite bright for these characters.

Here it is, the beginning of the next four years.
