Make Them Stop

Submitted by hecate on Fri, 04/26/2019 - 11:15am

There are already more Democrats trying to be the president than there are benzenes in the waters. So I am throwing some out. We will start with those whose names are just Wrong. Tulsi Gabbard: too much like Gabby Hayes, unsane sidekick in a bazillion B westerns. John Hickenlooper: a man with a name like Hickenlooper is a man who will wear a propeller beanie. Pete Buttigieg: a name that looks like it's pronounced "butt gig" will engender snickers in a thousand classrooms. Beto O'Rourke: like the street name of a three-card-monte hustler in some lesser David Mamet play. Okay. So these people, they are finished. Over. I will hear no more about them.

cross between Buzz Lightyear, the demented space toy, and Winthrop Paroo, the lisping kid from The Music Man.

The Americans, they could do that. They could elect that, to be the president.

was a joke from the universe, trying to hint to the humans that the voting, it is just shit made up. As I channeled here about 48 hours before there was a fire:

“Didn’t any of them think,” wondered an ET in the Oort, “that there was something just a wee bit, well, odd, in their first making the votes for an emperor, Bushman II, obsessed with another emperor, named Hussein, whom Bushman II was convinced had tried to kill his father, Bushman I, when Bushman I was emperor, and so Bushman II, he stole Hussein’s dirt, and took over his people, and killed his sons, and then executed Hussein himself, and finally took Hussein’s gun, as a souvenir, back to his own palace, all like one of their emperors of some 2000 years before? And then the very next time they had the chance to make the voting, they voted in as emperor, to replace Bushman II, a man named Hussein? Did they think that was random?”

made a Poll, there at the GQ, as to what are the most nicest things, among the Americans, and the top eight, of what they came up with, were: George Washington's horse, apple pie, Abe Lincoln’s beard, football, pickup trucks, country music, air conditioning, and drag racing. Also making the list: the word "ya'll," John Deere, NASCAR, fried food, power tools, adult illiteracy, putting clothes on dogs, trans fats, and fire.

I thought it was a list of the most "American" things about America. I eventually read the whole list, although I got stuck at No. 1 for quite a while. I totally didn't know George Washington had a special relationship with a horse. I think of him more as an arborist.

Anyway, not many of the one hundred items struck me as particularly American. The list had the sensibilities of the Chapo Trap House over on reddit. In the end, only five items resonated as uniquely American to me:

• Lighting things on fire recreationally (see also: blowing things up recreationally)
• Using a completely incomprehensible system of measurement
• Being gluten free
• Mobility scooters
• Mobility scooters (again)

all seemed pretty alien to me. But then, I am not an American.

A thing I found interesting, is that so few of them involved sound. I don't think the Americans, hear much. And almost never, listen.

As GWB told us, holding down three jobs in order to make ends meet is uniquely American.

I suppose as well that it is uniquely American for a politician to proudly proclaim the national uniqueness of the necessity of working three jobs.

last week, ages 6, 3 and 2. What a riot. One thing that came up a few times in trying to keep one or another of them from doing something unsatisfactory was to ignore them and they'd stop. Works pretty good with young kids, if you stop giving the attention on something, they stop.
