Is it a parable or a metaphor?

As you know, Kota (aka Scarface) is in her first heat. She's a bit 'off' in the head but seems to be handling things okay. Nicky on the other hand, is not. Nicky is nutless in a literal sense but he is still responding to the pheromones/hormones/whatever that Kota is putting out.

He keeps trying to hump her.

It's such a sad and pathetic scene. He has as much experience with female dogs in heat as Kota has being one. That is, none. He can't do anything productive since he has no balls. She's so much bigger than he is (labrador vs. terrier) that it's almost comical to watch. Perhaps the funniest thing is that Kota doesn't even pay attention to him. He'll try to grab on and go to town and she'll just lie there playing with a toy or whatever she was doing until she gets up and walks away leaving him with a sad and bewildered look on his face.

I was laughing (quietly, so as not to further humiliate the dog) at this yesterday when I had a disturbing thought. Nicky is incapable of doing what he wants to do. He is following deep rooted commands that are a part of his very being, he has no option not to keep trying to do what he can never do correctly. He is acting and reacting based solely on how he has been conditioned and bred to act and react. No matter how stupid he looks or how much people laugh at him or what an ass he makes of himself he will not stop until the conditions that are prompting him are removed.

Nicky is John Kerry, Kota is the USA and her heat is the election cycle. Is that spooky or what?

1 Jim, back away from the cappucino machine. Seriously: LMAO! Poor lil' Nicky. And yes, I think the "bitch in heat/needlessly humped by a overwrought terrier" metaphor is apt.

2 So are you trying to say that John Kerry is trying to f**k America? Incidentally, that image of a terrier screwing a lab will linger for a while. ~chuckle~

3 No cappucino here, Emma. I can only imagine the warped ramblings I'd come up with if there was! Hmmm...that might be worth some experimentation... Tommy - Yup, that's pretty much where I was going. He's not trying to do anything wrong, he's just following his nature. Fortunately he doesn't have the equipment to get the country truly fucked up and he'll go away in a few months.
