A Dog of the People in the Year of the Dog Email Print

(Cross-posted at My Left Wing)


It's been a hard day's night and I've been working like a dog. Not me exactly. My people. My people have been working like dogs to keep me out of jail. It's what they call an uphill battle beneath a creek without a paddle. Don't mind me though, I have faith. God didn't put me here to be impeached, imprisoned and impaled. No sir, God put me here to win the war against evil and let freedom ring.

Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins.. Where does the day go? How quickly fortunes turn in a nick of time. Yesterday I was King of the World and today my name is mud. I'm a liar, cheat and scoundrel wrapped in red, white and blue. I have sold my country to the highest bidder and worshipped at the altar of the Big Lie. I have sinned against God and man. I have darkened my soul and lost light-years in my spiritual evolution. My name will live in infamy in the Hall of Sorrows.

Whatever.
