Roy, this is excellent! "Extra spicy" in the vernacular. What's real funny is you are probably the only person in greater Baltimore to use" salvific" in everyday conversation. ( We tend to favor " beatific " out here in corn country)

Just remember, while every broken piece of shit isn't a Billionaire, most every Billionaire is a broken piece of shit.

. I suspect this aristocracy of the richest breaks down pretty quickly into chaos. Though perhaps the billionaires will cooperate and usher in era of peace success and well-being. *

In the meantime, I'm researching how long a gummy will stay fresh. I intend to buy a four-year supply.

We did make it through the first Gilded Age. Perhaps we can again.

Again, this is a great column. Thanks!

* If someone in the crowd wants to do that thing where you pretend to cough but say" "Bullshit!" Instead, now would be a good time!

Plutoids for everyone!

Should add here that one of my internet acquaintances was on the team that made the decision to downgrade Pluto, to which we responded with galactic, nay – universal!, opprobrium.

I heard that Mickey Mouse divorced Minnie Mouse because she was acting crazy.

Evidently she was fucking Goofy.

The former scans better, in case you wanted to insert it into a n heroic couplet.

It seems that plain "Kakoplutocracy" is a thing, and scans even better, so I've edited accordingly.

Well off topic here, but I imagine you've heard the news about Mr David Lynch passing. I know what this weekend's viewing will consist of for my partner and me.
