Where the money tree grows

The American Dream has become the American Nightmare.

Every day a new crisis emerges.  It is a production worthy of the anti-Disney.

Instead of banshees and forest fires, we have Isis driving anything movable with explosives taped to their souls. Instead of bad fairies, we have Trump waiving his twitter account around. Instead of mean villains, we have Senators dancing in the streets singing, "School's out! Health care's out. Look at how our president pouts!"

The chess games in the park are being played by Russians using our votes as pawns and North Koreans who have replaced the knights with nuclear weapons.

The Queen of Hearts has Thumper baked into a pie and Bambi is staked out for target practice by the NRA.

There are random cures for whatever ails us. Health care for the rich and famous. Schools for the wealthy and wily. And guns for everyone!

Once upon a time there was truth, but Republicans ever after demands its demise.
