A monomaniacal illiberal pussycat! He’s focused on what he considers evil—at least until someone dances a laser-light around him or jerks a ribbon around. Like his various enterprises, the Buckster can’t stay focused on anything for long. Except when he perceives one of his nine lives is in danger from the fury of a furry ferret!
So those pinko commie historians have been lying to us all these years. It was ferrets, not the plague, that wiped out the Italian population in the 14th century.Luckily, the Renaissance came along and destroyed the weasel city-states.

Ever see a cat play with a piece of string? They love ribbon too.

So that we call the black plague was actually ferrets? Thanks for the Decamerone, then.

They say it was fleas on rats that caused the plague. But maybe, the translation was wrong. Not rats but ferrets. Also, who are ‘they’ they speak of?

No wonder Italians hate ferrets! I certainly can’t blame them.

The word I used is “illiberal”—means “not liberal”.
