Let me put it this way, when he and the Count go out to play, he loses track after the Count reaches 3, cause his brain is so small ...

...Uriah Heep's biggest miscalculation is to hire Mr. Micawber as a clerk. Because Uriah Heep is all about plotting, conniving, and calculation, he can't imagine that another person would genuinely act against his own self-interest. And it really seems as though Uriah Heep has Mr. Micawber over a barrel: Mr. Micawber is (as always) unemployed and knee-deep in debt when Uriah Heep swoops in and offers him a job with an advance on Mr. Micawber's salary. For the first time in the whole novel, Mr. Micawber is financially secure. So, Uriah Heep doesn't think for a moment that Mr. Micawber will rock the boat by working against Uriah Heep.

But Uriah Heep happens to be wrong. Mr. Micawber grows steadily more and more outraged at the way Uriah Heep is exploiting Mr. Wickfield and trying to force Agnes into marrying him. So, he writes to David and Traddles and asks them to be present when he confronts Uriah Heep with evidence of his wrongdoing.

Mr. Micawber has receipts and notebooks (which Uriah Heep thought he had burned) proving that Uriah Heep has been forging Mr. Wickfield's signature and cooking the books. Uriah Heep has been making it look like Mr. Wickfield has lost his clients' money when he actually hasn't. So, Miss Betsey isn't a pauper after all!...

Thanks, Goldy. Keep hammering this one home. It's pretty canny on McKenna's part. He has figured out that he can peel off King County voters, and women, by being 'for the kids'. You're right, as you pointed out in a recent post, that there is no way to raise those $ on 'efficiencies' and other state gov't cuts. It's the central pillar of his campaign. It's a lie. And we need to spend 50 weeks hammering him on it. Nice to see Dwight Pelz & Co feel the same way.

Implement an asset tax.
