Some of you may remember this fine political body as the joke party of Quebec, some years ago.  It derived its name from Eugene Ionesco's famous play "Rhinoceros", which was, as I recall, about how to deal with something that wouldn't go away.

Perhaps it's time to revivify this ancient and venerable party.  After all, we have Republicans as elephants, and Democrats as mules, and nothing can get done in Congress right now. A rhinoceros might be the creature to push through some changes. After all, it's big, strong, armor-plated, and well armed.

It's also desperately endangered, fighting for survival, exploited by poachers and other conscience-less individuals.

It could be a great symbol for the vanishing middle classes, don't you think?
