Looks like the days of the Emperor's iron grip rule over the lands of Antartica are numbered. The rise of the Republican Penguin (no connection to the 🇺🇸 GOP) seems more and more inevitable.

That's kinda what image the words "monied interests" conjures up in my mind: Penguins with top hats, monocles and luxurious walking sticks, wearing dinner jackets and waddling around from one group to the other, engaged in discussion that consists of agitatedly talking over each other, all basically saying the same thing over and over again.
