All of human existence may divide equally into only two distinct and important times: those times when reality reminds you slightly of something you once saw in a Bugs Bunny cartoon, and those times when reality reminds you a lot of something you saw once in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

In the 1946 Looney Tune “Racketeer Rabbit,” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLyaAKuK-ag Bugs interrupts an Edward G. Robinson character dividing up loot with a Peter Lorre character. As ever, the rabbit knows how to get all the dough.

Bugs (in nightcap): What’s up, Doc?

Rocky: One for you (hands him a bill, denomination unknown)

Bugs (in derby): How ’bout me, Boss?

Rocky: Oh yeah. One for you (hands him more cash)

Bugs (in top hat): And me, Boss?

Rocky: One for you (hands him still more cash)

Bugs (in straw hat): And me, Boss.

Rocky: One for you (hands him more cash)

Bugs (in soft hat rolled back): And me, Boss?

Rocky: And one for you (hands him more cash)

Bugs (in blue cap): And me, Boss.

Rocky: One for you (hands him more cash)

Bugs (in Native Headdress and Robe): And me, Boss?

Rocky: One for you (hands him his last dollar)

Bugs (walking off): Gee, Rocky. Youse is certainly kind-hearted.

When the country has rejected, one-by-one, the antiquated principles of the Republican party; when two cops at the ballgame in Clearwater today come up to me and say “we’re Conservatives but this crap with our unions here and in Wisconsin has gotta stop”; when enough Republicans have already rejected Scott Walker that if another election were held today he’d be voted out of office two months after he assumed it – how does the Right Wing/Media/Industrial Complex continue to throw around so much weight?

They do what Bugs did to Rocky. Every five or six rabid Conservatives we hear on talk radio, or see at protests, or read online, may not actually exist. They are just Bugs Bunnies, wearing different hats.

Sometimes remembering the lessons of Bugs Bunny can be a very valuable thing indeed.

1. Oh, you're good!!!

And don't forget, it was Bugs who coined the term "What a maroon!"

2. I'm a "What would Bugs Bunny do?" person myself

I'd love to pull an "It's rabbit season / No it's duck season" number on the Tea Party if I could only figure out how.
