EXCERPT:

A Senator fell to musing as follows: “With the money which I shall get for my vote in favour of the bill to subsidise cat-ranches, I can buy a kit of burglar’s tools and open a bank. The profit of that enterprise will enable me to obtain a long, low, black schooner, raise a death’s- head flag and engage in commerce on the high seas.

COMMENTS:

Sardonic. Cynical. Fun.
