'No Show' for Scheduled Speech

“(2003-04-02) -- King Friday XIII, ruler of the Land of Make Believe, failed to make a scheduled speech today. Instead the address was delivered by Handyman Negri who said the King was "fine, just fine."

The monarch has not been seen in public since the death of Fred Rogers on February 27.

The King has appeared on state-run U.S. television almost daily in the past month, but experts at the Pentagon believe these may have been videotaped earlier. Audio specialists studying the tapes say there is a "startling similarity" between the King's voice, and that of the late Mister Rogers.

While news reporters and columnists speculate on the King's whereabouts and condition, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said the failure of the King to appear raises "interesting questions."
