Hades' attempts to become a presidential candidate hadn't worked so well. He wasn't eligible, for one. Then Stephen Colbert had denied knowing him and refused to be his running mate, even though they'd had a great interview about a year ago. Of course, then he found out that Colbert had decided to go ahead and try to run for President on his own. Jerk. Still, with Clinton and McCain looking like the likely candidates now, Hades was content that the country would be doomed either way and he could pick up the pieces after they were done, no matter who won. He was content to let it go for now. Or, more accurately, he got a better idea and it didn't involve schmoozing with the public.
His focus was now on other things. There was a new table in his office, a smaller version of the one in his lair in the Preserve (also the one he used to have back home). To the casual observer, it looked like a big board game. To Hades, who was sitting in his desk chair staring at the pieces, it was more.
This did not bode well for the cosmos.
