When Hollywood becomes reality or beware of bored rich people.

Simple scenario to describe our country's government and it's current predicament: the movie Trading Places.

I shouldn't need to say who the Duke's are parallels of if you know who ultimately backs the Tea Party.

Winthorp = Old Republican Party. Valentine = Tea Party. Wall Street = Congress, (that's not a large stretch these days).

I'm making a stretch here and casting Ophelia as Occupy Wall Street, (just hard working people trying to survive?).

I'm afraid you'll need to fill out the rest of the major cast rolls yourself.. I still haven't had my coffee yet.
