I discussed Sanator Sam, Dave describes Dwayne. Dave’s piece is more entertaining and is original:

DAVE:

What children see, that most adults forget, is the ridiculousness of adult narcissism.

I remember my 8-year-old school mate Dwayne, who was uncommonly ugly and had a tendency to slobber (even though we all liked him): He like to say this about his ugliness, “When you are born ugly, you are going to be ugly the rest of your life so you might as well get used to it.”

Adults have a REAL HARD TIME with that one. Accordingly, we know where liberalism comes from.

The last time we had a real leftie in the Governor’s chair in the State of Washington was Mike Lowry, a former US Congressman, who represented the district that included the University of Washington in Seattle.

Like Dwayne, Mike Lowry is uncommonly ugly. It is a marvel how somebody so ugly could actually get elected to Congress, but when you are running from a university district, go figure.

As Governor, his department heads were so ugly, all died-in-the-wool lefties, that I could only look at them by peeking through my fingers.

No wonder these lefties are so deeply into the “we are all equal” mantra. You have to hang your hat on something.

Later, the Governor disappointed his constituents by paying out $90K (out of his own pocket) to settle a sexual harassment claim (copping feels) by one of his female aids. That ended his political career, but it was all so very logical.

Dwayne never had any such problems. He was into self-acceptance and realism at a very early age. Today, he is a died-in-the-wool right-winger, with a stash of gold, a pickup truck, a mean dog, a Browning 1911, and an ugly wife and an ugly kid.

Like I said, we always liked Dwayne.
