Kickass, the doorstop dog, notes that the keeper’s inclination to look at the bright side of things, was at first gratified by Sen. Ron Johnson’s contention that global warming is a good thing because fewer people in Wisconsin would/will freeze to death.
But when it was sarcastically pointed out that by the same reasoning, the increasing wildfires in California would be as comforting and cozy as campfires; and then by the scientists that world-wide excessive global- warming heat would/will mean the death of millions, the keeper was reminded anew that Wisconsin just recently elected a senator so out of it that he sees the fires of hell as an opportunity for Wisconsinites–perhaps ice fishermen and late-season Packer fans, to finally get warm.
In the Wisconsin tradition of gerrymandered minority-representation government, Johnson is the stupid, blathering uncle who came to visit and won’t leave–without his pillow and only after he has made Wisconsin into a national laughingstock.
(The keeper wonders if it is too warm in here or if it is just him?)
