Thomas Nast's elephant and donkey are getting old, and don't really reflect reality much anymore. Here are some possible replacements.
The Democratic Party (the feckless party), the bunny rabbit
The Republican Party (the reckless party), the Tasmanian Devil
Unfortunately, the Tasmanian Devil may soon become extinct (because of an invasive disease).
ReplyDeleteRe the GOP: IF ONLY!!!!!
I think the Dems are weasels--or hyenas.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think the Repugs are more like ants. Have you ever read E.O. Wilson's description of ants? "If ants were given nuclear weapons, the world would be destroyed within a week." Repugs are not as efficient as ants, but they are certainly aggressive and warlike...and their drones are mindless and do what they are told.
But I like Bunny Rabbits!
ReplyDeleteI like bunny rabbits too, just not in Congress.
