what do these assholes think?

Here I sit in El Paso, Texas (which I have sometimes described as the asshole of the universe, and at other times as the desert outpost of a cruel empire)..

and it is that day of peace and goodwill toward all exploiters,

and there's a dog barking himself hoarse,

and he's been doing it for twenty minutes.

What does the asshole neighbor think:  Fido is sooo cute.....

Having purchased the dog, the neighbor has property rights, etc.

Get me out of here.  This is a miserable place.

What a cute dog!  How cute to hear him bark!  How could anyone possibly find it disturbing if my dog barks for hours, and hours, and hours, .......
