Tom Toles for January 03, 2018

“You’ll only need a handbasket to get where you’re going.”

A small-hand basket.

A “Load” of ?

PLUTOCRATS’ CUPBOARD – {2.80 limericks}

The Plutocrats’ pantry ain’t bare.

Not a-tall. Au contraire.

They don’t despair,

having more than their share

in a system of “laissez faire”.

Their cupboard is cluttered

with bread well buttered.

…

Here’s how they’re filling their cabinet: -

- Whatever they want they’re just grabbin’ it.

Without regulation,

they continue predation

while the economy’s back they’re stabbin’ it, -

- aided and abetted

by pols they’ve embedded.

Well done Mr. Toles.

This is the one bill that will get bipartisan support. But, the Congoons will probably still find some way to screw it up.

Well done Mr. Toles.

AND, of course, Ol’ Mom Hubbard is asking “How can I get richer from THIS???”

Laugh, oh man Toles, that’s a good one! Just the idea of “Mother Hubbard” going to the cupboard to get anything for anyone other than herself is ridiculous! Man, I broke out laughing, that was so funny! “Oh, you poor voters, let me…” Man, I can’t even finish, the idea is so preposterous! That’s the funniest comic I’ve all day. And I read Garfield!

And we’re SO shocked and surprised! Who could have predicted this!?

Anyone who took a moment to actually think before voting. That’s who.
