Koch Checks Out — RBG, Not So Much

By Hubie and Bertie

So if you had to pick a Koch brother to die, would it have been David? We cats are thinking maybe not. Unlike Charles, David at least supported the arts and healthcare providers. But just read his obit and you have a renewed appreciation for the grievous damage he wreaked in his lifetime — and how it cancels out any good he may have left behind.

Ironic that this billionaire climate change denier crossed the Rainbow Bridge just as the Amazon rainforest was burning. Can we drop his corpse there for cremation?

Meanwhile, the Notorious RBG has apparently been treated for a tumor on her pancreas. Although her doctors say it was successfully removed, all of us who care about the survival of democracy clutched our chests in panic today. Then we heard she was on the mend. But, still.

Tell you what: We're confident Justice Ginsburg will hang in there (she surely has inspiration to do so). But if — God forbid — she doesn't, the Senate Democrats will have to pull some serious rabbits out of their hats. As in: Declare that Benedict Donald is mentally unfit to nominate a Supreme Court justice? Why not? Moscow Mitch set the precedent for outrageous confirmation behavior. Let's make him pay. We cats HISS and PURR at the same time.
