Rat-Catching at the 'Blue Anchor' Tavern

Heh.  I like the illustration that accompanies Unleashing the Deep State Rat Catchers by John Kass.  

Rat-Catching at the 'Blue Anchor' Tavern, Bunhill Row, Finsbury, London, unknown artist.

You can guess the drift of the article but his set up:

We don’t hunt rats for sport these days, though we should, because all dogs need a job. Back in London in the 1850s, the people weren’t sentimental as we are in America. Then, London was bursting at the seams. The United Kingdom was enjoying economic prosperity during the Victorian Age. They bred fine carriage horses and fine dogs. And they hated rats that spread disease and death. And I also hate them. Not dislike, but actually hate.

He is not awfully fond of the Washington, D.C. Deep State rats either.
