I get it now.

Grayson's profile, when I adopted him, said he was great with foster kittens. After our senior cat passed away, I brought home a kitten for Grayson. Grayson still treats Bob like a kitten over a year later, and Bob loves every minute of it.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people.  On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and a complete narcissistic moron."  -- H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920 (with a photo of H.L. Mencken)

Comic:  First frame:  Wolf tells audience of three sheep, "Everybody knows I don't eat sheep."  Second frame:  Wolf stuffs one of the sheep into mouth while stating, "In fact, I eat way less sheep than anybody."  Third frame:  Wolf says, "I have a fabulous relationship with the sheep" while rubbing full belly.  "He'll protect us from the sheep eaters," one remaining sheep says to the other with a smile.  Fourth frame:  Mother and child are sitting in a bed, and mother is holding a book called The Sheep and the Wolf.  Child is angrily exclaiming, "Oh, c'mon, Mom!  Nobody is THAT dumb!"  Mother is staring ahead with a very sad expression.
