Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 28, 2016
Transcript:
Rat: I've decided to run for president. Goat; That takes billions of dollars now. Rat: I know. So I've formed a super pac run by Danny Donkey and snuffles the cat. It can raise unlimited funds for me. Goat: Well, now wait a minute. The supreme court says that you and the super pac can't coordinate. It has to be totally independent of you. Rat: Oh, I know. So to ensure that, I've constructed this wall of sturdy beer cans to separate us. It's not foolproof.

That’s about as independent as any of the other SuperPACs.

Danny started out as a fictional character in Rat’s childrens’ stories. Somewhere along the way he became real.

Wait till Larry and the rest of the male crocs get wind of the wall. It’ll be gone in no time.

“Can” is not synonymous with “will”.
And if raising money was determinate of electoral success then Jeb Bush would not have quit the race.

Sounds about right for certain candidates. And probably not the ones folks think.

BrassOrchid and leftwingpatriot: Living in southern Arizona, you should be made aware that most of us don’t mind the Mexicans coming across, and in some cases rely on their work. We even share a fire department with them. Most of these people are very poor, and that is why they come. In prox 2007, the US raised the fee on legal documentation by opver 400%, so that a legal card went from around $800 to over $3000. In other words, legalization is impossible for most of them, but they need to eat. If I were born south of the border, I would cross it. Instead of building walls, the richer Americans should sponsor one illegal annually. That would really help.
