If Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall in today’s world, all the king’s horses would rush in to stomp those pieces into bone meal before they even thought about putting him together again.
That’s what we do with our elected officials today. We build walls around them so if a good egg falls off we have a scapegoat to trample on.
And yet, Taffy, who stole the piece of beef, would get to eat his beef, leaving me only a marrow bone and chances are good he would be re-elected tomorrow if he only professed to be against abortion and same sex marriage.
If I beat him over the head with that bone? He lives for that! It takes the attention off what he is really doing, which is probably even more heinous than the ticket he ran on.
We still don’t know for sure which knave ate the tarts or what happened to those poor birds they tried to bake into a pie, but it’s pretty certain that these things just go on and on and as long as we make them cute and talk about them in small rhyming words the majority of people will go on nodding and smiling and voting just like they’ve always done…
Whether it worked or not.
