Mallory Meets His Match

<p> Kevin Mallory's self-centered mindset and utter lack of knowledge of the world don't keep him from being picked as a vice presidential candidate but they may keep him from converting his friendship with no-nonsense Kathie into anything resembling a romance.</p><p> His career as a grudging Customer Support Representative at the UniCast Cable Company is in jeopardy his car has been repossessed his finances are in the dumpster his co-worker in the next cubicle hates him and he's failed at every romantic quest he ever started.</p><p> His disenchanted young friend Spike recreates him as a cartoonish internet avatar of outrage fulminating against the Woke and LGBTQ and other movements which he imagines are responsible for his below-average life. Mallory's brand of outrage is phenomenally successful but his skyrocketing career is pulling him out of the orbit of the only woman in whom he has ever taken a mature interest.</p><p> </p>
