Kickass, the doorstop dog, will be using his extraordinary communication powers to help the keeper interview the Maryland cicada that recently landed on Joe Biden’s shirt collar.
Kickass: “The QAnon idiots say you may be a sign of something. What might that be?”
Cicada: “That I am the premature reincarnation of Mitch McConnell.”
Kickass: “And the truth is?”
Cicada: “Mitch is still buried under six inches of dirt along with the entire GOP 100-year swarm and may never emerge. My contact with Pres. Joe was both personal and political.”
Kickass: “And it was?”
Cicada: “I was trying to make the point that being buried for 17 years is not unlike the gerrymandered political absurdity now in place, and something needs to be done.”
Kickass: “And that would be?”
Cicada: “A national recipe for cicada soup must be adopted—obviously without bipartisan support, and this soup must be force fed to the rich one-percent until there is a realization that everyone has to eat, especially from the community bowl of the high-protein cicada soup.”
Kickass: “And Pres. Joe’s reaction was?”
Cicada: “While the video from Maryland showed what appeared to be a shirt-collar brush-off, Joe said he would do his best to encourage soup sharing and everyone should bring a personal bowl and get ready to join in the coming cicada soup festivities.”
