Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper and Phyllis have totally rejected the concept of “aging gracefully,” and henceforth will be using balance devices such as hiking staffs and walking canes to whack over the head those who exhibit abject stupidity in such areas as gun control and women’s rights.
Should their assertive actions be blamed on age-related dementia, the keeper and Phyllis hasten to point out that they both still have enough sense to get the hell off the railroad track when a train is coming; and one is definitely coming—loaded with toxic corporate greed and narcissistic money.
Weary of consorting with reasonable and ineffectual finger-pointing tongue-cluckers, the keeper and Phyllis are ready for the consequences of taking their disgust to the next level and really stepping into the fray: No more “aging gracefully” nonsense–It is time to fight stupidity with stupidity.
Others in their age-group are encouraged by the keeper and Phyllis to take up hiking staffs and canes and join in the whacking.
Medals of Freedom and Congressional Gold Medals may be awarded for whacking the likes of Hawley or Cruz, and all those wearing MAGA hats.
Amen, Brother Bill. I’ll be joining the ranks of the 80+age club on Wednesday and have already sharpened the end of my cane just in case the train continues to push its way into my home and I need some self-defense. Of course, I could always buy an AR-15 but the thought is repugnant to those of us who believe there’s got to be a better way. Thank you for sharing your common sense and your sagacity, both are sorely needed in what is quickly becoming a toxic wasteland of nonsensical if not moronic judgment calls by the shamefully misled MAGA acolytes.
