Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper tries to lend a hand here and there as Phyllis and others mount a “Protection Rally” to proclaim the injustice of depriving seniors of necessary benefits and services as prescribed by a haunted and a contaminated White House.
In an earlier initial run at the corner of Tree Lane and Gammon, there were “Protection Rally” participants in their 90’s and one—Sally, who is 100. There are plans to repeat their demonstration at that site and to move it on to more visible locations.
The keeper’s history shows that as a reporter way back in the hippie days he ran with the long-haired student demonstrators on the UW campus to keep watch on their activities, suffering occasional teargas and frequent misidentification as a Madison cop.
The keeper agreed with the young students that war was bad and needed to end, and now 60 years later, he agrees with his and Phyllis’s fellow demonstrators that a narcissistic “bought” POTUS should not mess with their age group.
