Embarrassing papers should be shredded before being flushed down toilet

I had an uproarious dream last night - and like so many other strange dreams, it too may fit into a political context.

In this dream, my toilet was clogged, requiring the services of a plumber. But the plumbing crew found that the clog was deep under the street. So they had to dig a massive hole in the roadway to fix it.

While they were digging, they found some sensitive papers I had written in high school and discarded. They promptly read them aloud.

The plumbers insisted these documents had clogged the toilet. But the papers were in perfect condition and never appeared to have ever been waterlogged. So it was clear I hadn't flushed them down the toilet. I concluded that I had thrown them in the garbage intact, and that someone had fished them out of the trash and buried them under the street.

What does this dream mean?

I think it means that right-wing operatives are flushing all their secret documents down the toilet without shredding them first. I'd bet the farm on it!

They probably think this is more effective than just throwing the documents away, because they're stuck in the days when nobody ever heard of paper shredders.

Dreams do sometimes reveal actual events that might be occurring. That's because the clues to them often lurk just below our conscience. We might not put the clues together while awake, so dreams do it for us.

So there's probably some still-legible secret GOP documents adhering to the walls of sewer pipes and possibly along riverbanks as we speak. All because of the right-wing brain trust's unchecked carelessness.

I'm not saying you should slink through poop-filled sewer pipes to try to find damning documents about Republican thuggery. But - if dreams are as prophetic as many claim - I guess it's not completely outside the realm of possibility that some right-wing document will wash ashore at your favorite riverfront park.
