Socialism Sucks

Football was invented to ease the pain of summer ending and heading back to school Antoinette.

Well America it's that time of year again. Vacations are wrapping up and it's time for the adults to get back to work and the kiddies to get back to school.🙉 

Of course going back to work isn't nearly as fun as going back to school. 🤒While there is drudgery in both at least the latter provides a fresh start every year, new things to learn📓, football games on Friday night, 🏈cheerleaders📣 and another year closer to getting rid of your fake I.D. Here's a thought, maybe the work world would be more productive if we had cheerleaders at the office! "Mikey, Mikey he's our man... if he can't do it nobody can!" With that kind of support along with those inspiring cheerleader outfits everyone would be more productive. 🙈Yeah #metoo! Now of course heading back to school means it's time to get some learning done. I mean real learning not the indoctrination that is so prevalent now. The kind of learning that even a two strapper can manage. Things like Socialism Sucks...which it does and is also the name of a new book. The book has an expanded title as well which makes it especially important to young people on the cusp of entering adulthood: Two economists drink their way through the unfree world. To prove a point that not only does socialism suck the life out of a country, the money out of the economy and the brains out of anyone buying into it #feelthebern #fraudsquad et al, our intrepid professors drank their way through the unfree world proving it also sucks the flavor out of beer🤮. Now of course college students aren't famous for their taste in beer and will pretty much drink anything 🥳🤓🍺that is available and their allowance can afford. But in a capitalist country they will graduate👨‍🎓, get a job👩‍🔬, then start buying better beer from a selection of thousands🍻. 

Now while socialism seemingly purports equality which is nice, it is really just supporting equality of outcome instead of opportunity. 🤔Equality of outcome leads to sameness, listlessness, lollygaggers, inefficiency, no variety, no imagination, dictatorship, genocide and in a very short time no money anywhere. Equality of opportunity leads to just the opposite. Take Venezuela for example🇻🇪. In 1950 they were the 4th richest country in the world💰. Today, though they still have the largest known oil supply🛢 in the world they can't even feed their people and what's worse... they've run out of their one and only beer!🙊😱😡 Rule # 1 to all aspiring socialist dictators... if you're going to suppress your people and ruin the economy you at least have to provide plenty of beer 🍺🍺🍺to ease the suffering and limit mass emigration.🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Even Cuba🇨🇺 has dos cervezas 🍻... bland but beer. Though it's hard to explain how a country that supposedly is so educated hasn't figured out how to build a new car in 60 years.🚗 And why aren't we modeling North Korea?🇰🇵 One would think all the green people would be celebrating Korean Lil Kim for his green policies... nobody leaves the lights on in North Korea... there aren't any.🔌 Perhaps it's because they don't want to see the worlds worst beer🤢. If you want to see how alcohol proves the superiority of capitalism over socialism just look to the former communist state of Georgia.🇬🇪 Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was just another depressed backwater region bordering the troubled Middle East. Now, by embracing capitalism full bore, they have become the world's new viticulture hotbed🍷. The area where many believe the first grapes 🍇originated, now boasts a booming wine export business as well as tourist destination for lovers of the grape🥂. Take that Stalin. More good news for you college students since we were on the subject of Georgia, and Georgia is in the S.E.C. What? Wrong Georgia? Don't worry they'll never know the difference... anyway the S.E.C along with other 🏈conferences are now permitted to sell beer at games in an effort to boost attendance. That's how it works people... supply and demand! Thank God we live in America where we not only have plenty of beer of every variety, as well as every other adult beverage🍸, we also have beer drinking occasions and there are none bigger than football season. Now go out and get some then win one for The Gipper👍... he knew why socialism sucks. Time to pop the top on a cold one and MAGA by watching football with my boy Hank Jr. Now Are You Ready for Some Football...

Are you ready

Are you ready

Are you ready, ready

Are you ready for some football?

A Monday night party

Hey, this is "Rocking" Randall Hank

Ready to get the good time started

We got the teams on the field

And we turned down the lights

All my rowdy friends are back for Monday nightNow everyone watches this prime time show

New York, Nashville, San Francisco

We love to watch the kickoff as the game begins

Pretty cheerleaders and las minute wins

The screaming crowd and the linebacker's stare

Scrambling quarterbacks and signals in the air

Big hits are coming, the 'backs are cutting inside

Everybody turns it up Monday night

Changes in Attitude

Vacations are necessary in order to die young as late as possible Antoinette. 

One of the beauties of a vacay at the beach🏖 is you lose track of time and before you know it Monday becomes Wednesday and the Monday blog becomes whatev's bruddah! This quite possibly is related to the fact that while on vacation at said beach, there is no time of day when consuming adult beverages is frowned upon except if you're caught drinking by repressed lifeguards with David Hasselhoff and BayWatch fantasies...this is also why God invented the Yeti tumbler.🍻  As a matter of fact,  I would argue that one looks out of place at the beach without an adult beverage in hand🍹. Now I know there are the healthnut types you see at every beach who like to obstruct your blurry view of the ocean by jogging🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ in front of you, and those who like to preen their yoga workouts🧘‍♀️ in the midst of us regular people who do normal things at the beach like not stretching in front of others, while eating boardwalk fries, drinking alcohol🍷 and who dare go in the water without waiting the requisite 30 minutes🏊‍♂️. Risky behavior to be sure. But in the war between Yogaists, Joggers, Power Walkers, SJW's, VS's, PC nazi's, mass murderers, socialists, Patriot Fans and other contemptible people and the Boardwalk Fry eating, beer guzzling 🍺deplorable... who do you think will most likely get sand kicked in their face at the end of the day? I rest my case... cheers!🍸

Now besides drinking all day, sunburning/tanning and kicking sand in the face of lesser thans, there is the added benefit of losing track of the serious issues going on in the world🌎 which leaves you time to ponder the truly insignificant, weird and wacky stuff that sometimes falls by the wayside. ... take this interesting story for instance. In an effort to punk fellow terrorist good for nothings, "al qaeda mocks terrorist rival isis by releasing blooper reel." 📽 Apparently, in an effort to win converts, opposing jihadist poke fun at the ineptitude of the other. Videos of isis recruits👎 not being able to remember the pledge and being heckled by birds🐓 have been circulated along with students in isis bomb training 101 💣blowing themselves up while learning about explosives. Presumably they also get the big reveal that it's not virgins 💑you get as promised after voluntarily dismembering yourself(faulty translation), but 72 raisins instead🍇. Hmm, at least they'll be regular and they and al qaeda can go back to living in bunker busting bomb proof caves🌋. Oh... they don't exist? Oh well...c'est la vie!😱Then of course you get Elon Musk, the inventor businessman not the aftershave, who says the way to get life on Mars is to nuke it🚀! This will then create carbon dioxide and as long as Planned Parenthood isn't around, life on Mars can develop. How to nuke Mars is another question....presumably just use a variety of charging stations🔌 on intervening asteroids🌠 and other orbs and the Tesla nukes will be able to complete the journey. That's the kind of forward thinking we need around here.🤔 But if you want to keep your territorial expansion closer to home but still make significant territorial gains, (and who doesn't), I think it's time to switch directions. No longer should America's destiny be,  "go west young man"...we see what California has brought us and the fourth rock from the sun is pretty far. Now it's time to go where the grass is greener🍀...Greenland! Now while Greenland is still technically white from that persistent global warming denying snow and ice❄... eventually it should be green according to Al G.(see what I did there?😉). Of course that means we will be able to grow vineyards 🍇and fields of amber waves of grain🌾 supplying America and those that matter plenty of adult beverages🍷. Sorry #jihadists #fraudsquad #etc. This kind of land deal should get done in about 10 minutes. There's like 60 people in Greenland. Just give them each a couple million and a plane ticket somewhere warm like Miami👙🏖. Denmark 🇩🇰doesn't know what's going on there anyway... besides they are too busy eating danishes. As a matter of fact, let's buy Canada🇨🇦 while we're at it... then we won't have to build a wall there to keep out the White walkers. Oh that threat is over? It was only make believe? So where did the disappointed hollyweirders go after the last election? Oh that was make believe also. Hmm, I wonder where they'll threaten to move next time? I'm guessing not Venezuela🇻🇪. So anyway, with the addition of Canada and Greenland our Olympic hockey, dog sled and viking teams should be better. And once global warming takes effect, more land will become available for producing adult beverages, polar bears will be able to retire to warmer climes and maple syrup will be more readily available. But right now it's time to get back to the beach... surf's up... time to hit the Buffett and get my mind right with some Changes in Latitude...

I took off for a weekend last month
Just to try and recall the whole year
All of the faces and all of the places
Wonderin' where they all disappeared
I didn't ponder the question too long
I was hungry and went out for a bite
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum
And we wound up drinkin all night

It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running and all of our cunning
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane

Conspiracy Theories

Ironically, rhetorical devices are often oxymoronic like a metaphorical simile as when suicided is like killed dead but sounds onomatopoetic as in oops upside your head...say what Antoinette?

Jumping jehoshaphat Josephine. Just when JeremyEp judged jurisprudence justified jilting juries and journalists' jollies and other jocundities, he made a euphemistic jailbreak before his jeremiad jolted jillions of jaundiced and jittery jackasses who jetted on jailbait joyride junkets just jammin' jokingly with junior Jennys...so he jettisoned his life by suiciding himself with paper jammies and three self inflicted shots to the back of the head🙊. Just jawing. Happens all the time. I think I need to wet my whistle, 🍸, ah! Ok, actually you don't need creative rhetorical and literary devices when talking about the current political landscape, because the irony is rich, the oxymorons are plentiful, hyperbole is the norm, and the simile to remember is everyone you disagree with is like a racist nazi misogynistic science denying illiterate heterosexual earth hating homophobic carnivore🙉... but I digress. Actually this should be a good year for many and maybe a good opportunity for people to come together over a shared interest... conspiracy theories🤜🤛. Arguing over conspiracies is more like the old fashioned arguments... nobody really cares and you're unlikely to be unfriended if you disagree🙏. For instance, conspiracy theories about the political equivalent of SIDS, known as SAOCDS (sudden acquaintance of Clinton death syndrome often suffered by those who threatened not to clam up).

Speaking conspiratorially,  I'd be worried if my initials showed up there in the middle of the death sentence... #AOC.  Hmm, maybe it's just coincidental all 50 plus previous times it has occurred. Nothing to see here🙈. The fact that they all occurred at lets say serendipitous moments for the fortunes of the Clintons #42 and #45,  oh wait that's not right... What Happened? #ImWithHer, and of course the slush fund, I mean foundation that keeps on giving is purely unintentional. Just think of it as assisted suicides... where the assistant is just good fortune, money, and plenty of swamp creatures. Actually, I'm not here to foment conspiracy theories because I know the end result... years of ridiculous programming on the History Channel, Discovery Channel, and Who Wants to be a Millionaire. I actually remember when there used to be good programs on the History Channel... now ironically it's just unreal "reality" tv and propagandized historical revisionism. People die all the time, and tomorrow is promised to no man, or woman for that matter so just because you have a greater chance of dying if you have ever had contact with a Clinton than by the combined percentage of deaths from terrorism, an ar15, snakebite🐍, shark attack🦈, old age, cancer, smoking, heart ailments, visiting the Dominican Republic, living in any communist country, appearing in a Nightmare on Elm Street movie 🧟‍♂️and while on suicide watch in a maximum security prison 🙈🙉🙊doesn't mean that it was anything but an unfortunate coincidence. Ok, maybe there was a little hyperbole there, but actually exaggeration and irony are effective blog plot devices and certainly are worth a nervous chuckle or two. The good news is we are in the middle of the Idiomatic dog days of summer🐶🏜 which means my vacation starts next week🏖. There's nothing like a vacay at the beach to forget about conspiracy theories, political dodgeball, assisted or unassisted suicides, and meaningless literary devices. Life is too short and there are a lot of yet unmade drinks 🍹that haven't been drunk yet to worry about the mundane problems of Clinton associates. Maybe if the world shared the same common oxymoronic vacation goal of becoming drunk as a football bat🤔, they would have less time to hate on each other, get apoplectic over social media posts🤯, or suicide themselves because of their acquaintances🗡. And since the moon is known as the God of drunkards, it's only fitting that while you're passed out in the R.E.M. dream state you might be dreaming of conspiracies and the Man in the Moon...

Moses went walking with the staff of wood (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Newton got beaned by the apple good (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Mister Charles Darwin had the gall to ask (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Now, Andy did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Hey, Andy are you goofing on Elvis?
Hey baby, are you having fun?

If you believed they put a man on the moon, man on the moon

If you believe there's nothing up his sleeve, then nothing is cool

Hypocrisy and Racism

An egghead once said that a hypocrite is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation Antoinette. 

Well boys and girls today is a Monday where what I write might not be so cleverly funny.😰 I know sometimes I'm the kind of funny where you're gonna laugh, I don't care who you are. 😂And sometimes you think I tell a good story. "What? You mean the way I talk? What? Let me get this straight... I'm funny how? I mean funny like a clown? I amuse you? I make you laugh. I'm here to F'ing amuse you?... How am I funny?  😳Well funny or not there's always a good reason to have adult beverages 🍸around and today's national mood certainly requires plenty of those. This week's tragic shootings in Texas and Ohio😥 by two nutjobs shows where the vitriol bandied about by the press, politicians, social justice cyber warriors and anyone with an internet machine has led us🗣. The combination of deliberately stroking the fires of hate, giving credence to movements like antifa, BLM, and all other hate mongering groups has not only ginned up violence but counter hate groups as well. We have created a culture of hate with proclamations of absolutes that have no legitimacy and no useful purpose. This didn't begin with TDS only exacerbated by it and the result is the dialectic idea of opposites. The contrary counterforce just leads to a nation of extremes, when democracy is supposed to be about the middle ground. There's plenty of blame to go around. The presidential behavior of the latest 2 presidents doesn't help. A culture built on cartoon violence inures people to death and mayhem. Social media and internet access to any crazy ideas or images is readily available to all leaving the most vulnerable and those least able to govern themselves potential WMDs. And while there is plenty of blame to go around, I blame the media and the hypocrisy of naked political ambition and phony grandstanding most of all. As far as I know, nobody I know who voted for Trump is a racist. They voted for the guy who they thought best represented their view on how the Constitution should govern, how the economy should work and how the nation should be run. If Obama espoused all of the conservative principles of government and Trump the liberal ones while being the same people and demeanor would you vote for the opposite view point? People by and large want the same thing. A job, safety for their family and country, opportunity to advance and succeed, the four freedoms, the 21st amendment, inexpensive booze🍺, a big screen TV🖥, etc. It's ok to disagree how to get there. The founding fathers did and they all risked their lives to get it done and show the world a better way.

 It's even ok to argue over viewpoints, but the inane name calling has to stop. The hypocrisy of pretending to care when you don't... it's just a political public relations tool🤥. This is a good time to refill your glass...make it a double to wash down the hypocrisy🍸🍺. Ok, I'm back. Where was I? Oh yeah, I don't know of any nazi's anymore, at least none who aren't in antifa or the propaganda arm of the press, or Hollywood Virtue signalers who profess their wokeness at every opportunity. That should be verboten! They pretend to care about women's rights and #metoo and climate change but never when it limits their opportunities or is counter to their political aims. For instance Google just held a private party of A listers in Sicily at "Davos by the sea" to discuss, glad hand, and raise "awareness" about climate change. Of course Obama, Prince Harry, Katy Perry etc flew in via 114 private jets, numerous private yachts and stayed at a resort with flown in beach sand while leaving a bigger carbon footprint than a decent size town. At least Harry had the decency to say he would limit his carbon footprint by only having two kids, of course you have to also consider the gaseous bloviating's toll on the environment. "Do as I say not as I do." And whatever happened to the Virginia governor, Lt Governor, and attorney general over their racist and rapist antics? ... oh yeah nothing. Was it the member of the press who beat up the black clad, masked, antifa thugs or the other way around? And then of course there's racism. Now is the time to refill 🍷and hide your keys cuz nobody is driving 🏎🚔now. Systemic racism is when a system of government is perpetuated that beholdens a population to their caregivers. One that requires them to depend on handouts🤲. That buys their loyalty with promises of free stuff that in turn leaves them in a cycle of poverty, crime, drugs, low education and family breakdown that has now lasted decades. Calling somebody stupid because they're stupid and ignorant #fraudsquad isn't racist, it's obvious. Protecting the border isn't racist, it's obvious. Pointing out the problems of Baltimore, Detroit, San Francisco etc. isn't racist, it's obvious. Pretending those problems don't exist because of policies in play is racist. Arguing about the 2nd Amendment after tragedies is hypocritical when nobody is discussing the everyday plight in the inner cities where murders happen more frequently and at a higher rate. Racism is taking their vote, promising the moon then leaving them until the next election. Racism is appealing to victimhood instead of basing everything on merit. Equality is about opportunity not outcome. Affirmative action is racist. Merit isn't. Quotas are racist, merit isn't. Not being held accountable is racist, sexist, ageist, whatever... merit isn't. Phony grandstanding and politicking issues like Ferguson and Kavanaugh, and downplaying the assualt on police officers is racist, sexist and shortsighted. Hoax racism and hoax sexual accusations for political gain, false victimhood etc. only hurt and undermine all the real and tragic examples that really do occur. And it's this hypocrisy in our world, insanely accusatory language and labeling, anything is fair as long as it advances my political agenda worldview that creates entrenched sides, agitates the unbalanced and tragically leads to crazy zealots who take out their anger on the innocent. The weekend saw craziness motivated from one side in El Paso and crazy motivated from the other side in Dayton.😥 That's where the accusatory language has brought us. Time to consider America as a team🇺🇸. Nobody cares what your name is, sex is, race is, nationality is, religion is as long as you work hard, play nice with others and remember to tip your bartender and servers well💰. Get elected on merit, not phony grandstanding. Remember, evil people have hidden out in the church to either hide or stop doing evil things. It's not the religion that's bad, it just became the cloak to mask their activities. Hypocrites and racists also hide under the cloak of politics and virtue signaling. Matthew said, "beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves." Beware of the career politician on government salary who is now a multimillionaire. Your political party isn't the most important thing, America is! And what America has proven is that success depends on the individual, freedom of opportunity, hard work, the entrepreneurial spirit, honest assessments and merit. Be neighborly even when you disagree. Start by sharing your favorite adult beverage with those old enough around you🥂, then model the work ethic that made America great and the "City upon a hill" to the youngins. We're America...we got this. Believe it. And if you're in doubt just listen to the Boss, and you'll have a Reason to Believe...

Take a baby to the river, Kyle William they called him
Wash the baby in the water, take away little Kyle's sin
In a whitewash shotgun shack an old man passes away
Take his body to the graveyard and over him they pray
Lord won't you tell us, tell us what does it mean
At the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe
