Every few years in America, billionaire bankrollers and brain-dead student activists team up to try to breathe life into the corpse of “socialism,” which, gol darn it, is a great system which just has never been done RIGHT.
Their efforts remind me of those wretched rolling hand towels of yore in gas station restrooms. The idea was to grab the towel by its sides and roll the filthy, disgusting part away to be presented with a nice, dry, unsullied part of the towel. But, eventually, no matter how hard you rolled, it always came back to the same wet, filthy part. Ewww, remember that?
Look, kids! If we just roll past the 100 million starved, murdered, and enslaved part, we come to this nice clean part where we all eat bugs, have no cars to pollute Gaia, and live in little hive apartments in crowded cities where we can walk to any food line within 15 minutes with all the oppressor straight white men at the back of the line! Woohoo! Nirvana!
I think if our Founding Fathers and Mothers had had any inkling of how shallow the gene pool would eventually get, that they would have just stayed on their farms and in small towns and not sacrificed their lives and treasure to secure freedom from British rule in a bloody eight-year slog of a war. If you just drink coffee, who cares what the tax on tea is?
In looking at multiple sources on the Internet and taking kind of an average, it appears that out of a population of only 2,000,000 souls, some 8,624 Americans were lost in battle. But a total of somewhere between 25,000 and 30,000 died from all causes including casualty, disease, and, I imagine, even starvation and freezing to death at Valley Forge.
What nonsense that America was a colonizing power, when it was the FIRST colony to fight and break free of the oppressive bonds of its colonizers. Maybe a major reason the American Revolution is not remembered with more pride comes down to the simple fact that no single Founding Father was as good-looking as bloodthirsty sociopath Che Guevara. If a brain-dead college sophomore at Harvard (spit) cannot put a cute face on a tight t-shirt, well, then, it must not have been cool. Guys who murder insurance CEOs in cold blood are much cuter.
What in the WORLD has happened to American women? I AM one and it’s just getting gol darn embarrassing! It’s close to the point that I could almost consider “transitioning” to being a teeny 4’11.8” “man.” Heck, I’m halfway there already with my love of sports, target shooting, and Jason Statham action movies. But the mutilating surgery that would entail is very off-putting. Plus all that shaving EVERY morning? And Joe would be upset. Yeah, he’s pretty open-minded, but he would really be QUITE upset to be wed to a guy midget!
The wholly made up MAGA bogeyman Q-Anon can’t hold a candle to his feminine counterpart, Shrew-Anon. Candidates for the title abound. A fortnight ago, Greta “Free Palestine” Thunberg — previously, Whoopi — has said out loud that the Holocaust was just a fight between white people and none of her concern. Here Susan Sarandon is wrapped in a keffiyah screaming about “genocide” by Israel. There a chunky drunky lesbian who stated that the 9/11 Towers were brought down by Dick Cheney because “steel doesn’t melt,” has fled with her “non-binary” adopted daughter to Ireland.
It turns out that Trump – a guy who eschews alcohol altogether — MADE Rosie O’Donnell overeat and overdrink, the fiend! What CAN’T that man do?? He’s more powerful than Climate Change! The professional BS-detectors in AA debunked that excuse a long time ago in the following mantra: “Poor me, poor me, pour me a drink.”
Insanity and a permanent state of rage have the power to make a woman look as ugly as the inside of her mind. To take but one grotesque example, Kathy Griffin is no longer even recognizable, so distorted has irrational hatred made her features now. And Ellen, so oppressed as a gay woman that she could barely flee her Hollywood mansion to a $40 Million Dollar estate in rural England, is not looking at all good either. There she was the other day, pictured with a terrible haircut stuffed into a stocking cap and looking miserable, unsmiling, and unattractive. I have met her. She used to be happy, funny, and cute.
But while women are playing the leading role in the Crazy Olympics (YAY, Feminism!) a few men have shown themselves to be contenders. John Cusack was last noticed in the somewhat charming rom-com Say Anything and, apparently, he took that title to heart. This illiterate rage-a-holic has posted on X such gems as “Blind allegiance to Isreal (sic) is alliance to a genocidal regeme (sic).” Maybe just “sick” instead of “sic” would be more appropriate.
Michael Moore famously wants to rewrite the Pledge of Allegiance and all the left-wing late-night talk show suck-ups are claiming that canceling ANY show which is losing $40 million a year (real money to a few of us) signals the end of Free Speech. You remember “Free Speech,” the kind of speech that they have been opposed to since the beginning of the woke claptrap?
Greed, Identity Politics, and cowardice play a huge role in this, but I also blame the pathetic state of our educational system. When I began doing standup in 1982, teachers were one of my favorite audiences. They were smart, loved to laugh, and got the jokes. But by the late ’90s and into the new millennium, teachers were afflicted en masse with the Woke Mind Virus.
Which clearly also affected their metabolism.
My audiences went from nicely dressed women to a hostile mob of obese women who were dressed in clothing I wouldn’t wear to change the oil in my car. Assuming I knew how to do that. They were permanently alert for anything that could be regarded as a “microaggression.”
It made me long for the days of my own outstanding non-unionized high school teachers, the women dressed in skirts, dresses, and later, pants-suits, and the men in coats and ties. A whole different world. Let me feature just ONE of those great teachers today. Maybe I will one day do a whole column on my excellent high school teachers.
I will just mention Mr. Ray Reuter, Junior English teacher, fan of the Classics, a stern but fair, no-nonsense kind of guy. He had a rule that – prepare to be astonished! – you had to come to class PREPARED to discuss the book we were assigned that week. Yes, Virginia, an ENTIRE book. In a WEEK!
A Corollary to the rule – at the beginning of the class period, you could raise your hand when he asked, “Who is not prepared?” You were then excused to take The Walk of Shame to Study Hall without penalty, but without benefit of the class discussion, either.
But woe be unto you if you thought you could just sit quietly and not raise your hand and squeak by un-outed. Because IF he called on you and you had no idea who Queequeg was or what he represented in Moby-Richard, THEN you were sent to Study Hall with an “F” for the day, and outed as a cheat and a liar, even without a Jumbo-Tron.
We have fallen from that to California making sure that “F”s are changed to “C”s and “C”s to “A”s for “fairness and equity.” And we wonder why so many idiots are on parade. At some point a “parade” reaches critical mass to become a “tsunami.” And when the “C to F” folks get into college “for equity” and major in Education, what then? And what comes after that?
