Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 04, 2024

He’s not just an average idiot, he’s Super-Idiot!

Elon Musk had a similar idea, only with net worth.

But does he have children?

If Rat doesn’t have children, at least we know he’s not a cat lady.

Rat is wants democrazy eh.

What doesn’t seem fair is that I study the candidates and the issues carefully…and my vote counts no more than the guy who closes his eyes and throws a dart.

He just proved his mental capacity as an idiot.

Rat’s ego strikes again!

The theory of democracy depends on “wisdom of crowds”, where many independent opinions tend to converge on best answers. However modern technology has pretty much destroyed the crucial “independence” and lies are amplified by targeting them at the perfect idiots for each lie.

(There are also problems with production costs. It’s expensive to find the truth but lies are really cheap to produce. Also some lies (from liars more competent than the orange albatross) can only be debunked with expensive research.)

If you want other people’s money because you don’t want to work- vote democratic. If you want other people’s money because you are rich and want more- vote republican. Me; I’m voting Bill and Opus.

Rats can’t vote – thank goodness for that.

In his novel “Double Star” Robert Heinlein came up with a great idea. Instead of voting based on where you live, you get to choose your own constituency. If you want to be a “Farmer,” or a “Gun Owner” or “Mass Transit User” or “Gamer” or whatever, that’s who you are. The book itself is light on details, but I think it’s a good place to start

Stephen missed out on the best laugh. He should have wrote,“Dear registrar of voting. I would like to registrar to vote.”

I like Rat.

Typical progressive elite.

At the rate things are going, I would trust a rat more than any politician.

Rat could always try buying votes. Maybe I could interest him in paying off my mortgage with someone else’s money……I’d vote for the Rat then.
