3NN: Ninendo No-Nonsense News (yeah... that's 4 Ns total!)

An excerpt from Monday night's transcript from the 3NN special event with Bowser

Toadsworth (T): Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a special 3NN one on one with leader of the opposition party, Bowser, King of the Koopas. Koopa King, thank you for joining us.

Bowser (B): It's my pleasure Toadsworth. Is it okay if I call you Toadsworth?

T: Of course.

B: Thanks.

T: Now Bowser, I must begin by asking about what has the entire Mushroom Kingdom in an uproar, of course, I mean the Koopa Party's "Just say kidnap strategy," which has paralyzed the Mario administration's legislative goals.

B: Well, as you know the Koopa party has had a difficult few years. After my last defeat at the hands of Mario and his brother... what's his name?

T: Luigi.

B: Right. Luigi. Thank you. Anyway, after my defeat by Mario, our party took a big hit in the midterms and again in the presidential elections.

T: Yes. The Mario Party has succeeded quite swimmingly. Chuckles.

B: Chuckles. I see you're referring to the frog suit slogan. Yes, even I was surprised how popular the image of Mario in a frog suit became. More surprising yet was his slogan, "A Suit We Can Believe in." The entire kingdom loved it.

T: Back to the point at hand. Just say kidnap?

B: Yes. With our substantial losses in the Mushroom Kingdom Congress, we are being forced to go to drastic measures in order to preserve what we believe is the proper future for out Kingdom. Remember, just because the Mario Party made gains in Congress doesn't mean that we're about to forget about our constituents. They deserve to have their beliefs represented too.

T: What problems do you specifically have with the Mario Party's agenda?

B: Well take health care reform for instance. We agree that reform is necessary, but that a number of hurtles must be overcome. Immigration, the kingdom's debt problems... the Mario Party is trying to rush this reform through. This problem isn't as simple as a game of tennis or golf (also basketball, soccer, and kart racing). Laughs

T: Laughs. Yes. Mario's recreational activities are quite well known aren't they?
