Nothing displays the sheep-like intellect of most humans, more than the tacitly agreed upon submissive stupidity of allowing two political parties to take turns running the bread & circuses. Pathetic.

Rat’s attitude is understandable, if a bit cavalier. Yipee ti yi yo, git along little dogies / It’s your misfortune and none of my own.

He’s an equal opportunity politician hater. After being a corporate attorney he has disgust for all things political.By the way, how’s the latex industry doing these days??

Clearly, Rat and Pig are members of Generation Text; anything more than three letters long is over their heads. Maybe that’s why one party keeps calling itself the GOP…
