Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper, in his ceaseless sifting and winnowing, not to mention wasting time, happened across Rudy Giuliani’s report to the bankruptcy court listing his monthly expenses at $43,000 and stating that he owes $153 million to creditors, much of that included in a court award to defamed election workers.

This information is passed along with the thought that it might be a useful distraction, as it was for the keeper, in the grocery checkout line as he watched Phyllis shuffle bonus product coupons.

As lawyer-dominated capitalism trends toward a dozen or so narcissistic trillionaires owning it all and the rest of the populace struggling down in the ditches, the saving grace is in the fact that Rudy and the rich crowd, bankrupt or otherwise, can’t appreciate this day any more than the keeper can:

Happy Saturday May 4, 2092!
