Kickass and the Have-Nots

Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper is doing his best to adjust to the fact that provisions of the 2010 “Citizens United” Supreme Court decision have born political fruit for the “Haves” as they continue to buy the “Have Nots” vote and build on the current minority representation of what is now laughingly called a democracy.

Convincing the working stiffs that as a billionaire you are one of them takes money, but as money is increasingly concentrated among a narcissistic few, the deception gets easier and the payoffs are greater.

Looked at over the great long haul of time, the human race has no more invincibility than the dinosaurs, and one way or another it will either make the planet uninhabitable or self-destruct in a frenzy of greed.

Kickass will be napping now and recommends that the keeper and Phyllis do the same.
