PRIEST GETS HIGH
      ON DIVINE
BALLOT STUFFING

Well-known corridor fetishist Warrax announced his plans today to
seize control of the relatively irrelevant Sandelfonian
high-priest-hood in today's elections.

"WORLD domination. Fast." he was heard to say to an aide, just prior
to our interview. We asked him how he planned to win the position.

"Well, let's face it. The people are morons. If they had any brains,
they'd be Wizards, and not bothering with these elections. So I'm
expecting them to just see that sexy "x" in my name and the votes will
just start piling in..."

But on the off chance that this plan failed to work, Warrax, currently
a minor functionary in the "Carpet" sect (one of the main factions in
the Sandelfonian priesthood, at loggerheads with the "Tiles" sect over
their inability to determine the most holy flooring material),
outlined his plan to ensure victory regardless.

"Well, y'see, the chief electoral officer, ballot counter, official
observer, and all three backups for each position, including Mrs
Wainscott the tea lady, will all fall mysteriously sick at the last
minute, leaving me to fill all three roles. And so I expect Sandelfon
will make his will known through the results when he elects me. I am,
after all, but an instrument of his will."

Rumours of a last-resort plan involving a bloody coup, with the
backing of dissident factions from within the Gappic priesthood
disaffected with current interior decorating fashion, are, to this
date, unconfirmed...
