Kickass, the doorstop dog, advises the keeper on how best to share the ever-deteriorating planet with those who lose everything in a hurricane or must bury the pieces of their bomb-victim children or who worship at the altar of the “Rod of Iron” church where a crown of bullets is worn by the leader as he gestures to his congregation with a golden AR-15.
With the keeper’s “advanced” country warding off accusations from a demented elected leader that Dems control the weather, nonchalantly producing most of the world’s war ammo and accepting the AR-15 dunderheads along with snake worshipers, the keeper wonders at the appropriateness of his inclination to complain about such mundane things as poor phone service.
Better to follow the Kickass example and take a nap, at least until the election is over and the possibility of being marched off to prison by the US Army no longer looms for the keeper and Phyllis.
