Keeping Up with the Belks: Lesson #2

Jan 16

How to show flagrant disregard for the laws you have sworn to uphold.

Having already proven yourself to be a true Belk by winning a political election solely through the power of name recognition, it’s time to get to work in your new position of power. You may have only wanted revenge or to increase your influence and presitge, but you soon discover that elected office comes with presumed job duties.

Wait, what? Jjjjj…ooo..bbb? Joooob? Job? What’s that?


It’s ridiculous, I know. Belks don’t have jobs. And the certainly don’t have to follow pesky ethics rules.

Rah-ullllllles. Rah-ullles. Rullllllles. Rules?

So what if you are on the board of directors for a business and also a district judge? Conflict of interest? Judicial oath? Can’t we just reach some sort of arrangement over steaks at the capital grille? This isn’t THAT big of a deal, is it?

You are a Belk. You are above work. You are above the law. Heck, you ARE the law. And don’t you forget it.
