When pigs fly

Thank you, politicians! Your multiple mailed fliers and TV ads, as well as stimulating phone calls from your minions, not only educate us to your many attributes, but also caution us as to your opponent’s liabilities. And kudos, too, to judicial candidates, all of whom assure us they have more wisdom than King Solomon on his best day.

I feel so heartened that you’ve spent so much of your hard-earned money on our behalf — and, of course, will continue to care equally about our needs after the election — that I look skyward to give praise for your generosity.

And lo and behold, I view a flock of swine soaring along in V-formation.
