No Country for Old Reptiles

It's been a veritable deluge of skeeziness with the recent outing of so many cases of powerful (mostly white, it must be said) men whose crimes and misdeeds are only now being revealed after years of either paying off or otherwise silencing their accusers. Of course, last year was a banner year, too, after we sent Donald Trump to the White House to become our very own predator-in-chief. It's no surprise then, because what we're seeing is nothing new. There's only more public awareness about the endemic hyper-sexism, male chauvinism and sexual and gender based-violence, all of which have always been parts of our society and culture.

And I couldn't even manage to fit in all of the other skeeze-bag terrible lizards who deserve to be included in this cartoon - Roger Ailes, Bill O'Reilly and even NPR's own Mike Oreskes among others - all of which demonstrates that this has nothing to do with partisan politics but instead "body part-is-in politics." But then, what do we expect? These are big lumbering beasts with itty-bitty, teeny-weeny...brains...so I imagine their judgment probably isn't so good with all the blood rushing to their itty-bitty, teeny-weeny...anyway, you get the idea.

Let's all hope and pray that they go the way of the dinosaurs, extinct, sooner than later.
