Kickass, the doorstop dog, notes that the keeper, ever alert to significant milestones in life, recognizes that the tipping point may have been reached in the national dumbing down effort and it will be smooth sledding from here on out as those with the most outlandish conspiracy theories and the firmest grip on hypocrisy form a phalanx of conspiracy idiots in hot pursuit of Thelma and Louise as the edge of the cliff looms ever closer.
With each day providing something new and unbelievable in the way of conspiracy dumbness, the keeper’s fear of irrelevance prompts him to offer his own conspiracy theory: a heretofore undiagnosed malady will strike all the lawyers and the entire justice system from the supreme court on down whereby all members are turned to stone. This will not be obvious to the public for a year or so as the prolonged lawyer delay procedures are undistinguishable from the inert nature of stone.
The keeper is in the back seat of Thelma and Louise’s car and holding the door open for Phyllis.
