Back To Basics

Okay, this looks like something an expensive hotel would serve, just to build the tab. Here’s my revision:

Adding anything but ice or water to booze makes expensive booze taste like cheap booze, and the more extraneous shit you add, the worse. Don’t ask me how I know this.

If you really want to have food wrapped around booze, pour a glass of anything into a bowl of cold minestrone. It won’t make you any sicker than a Bloody Mary, and is much cheaper. Don’t ask me how I know this, either.

And if you MUST have a Bloody Mary: vodka + tomato juice, with maybe a little salt and pepper.

Shooting off into the darkness, Mitch Berg suggests that this pic proves that the Socialists are deranged:

Me, I think it’s a combination of wishful thinking and the “cult of personality” — an excellent example of totalitarian art as created by Nazi Germany of their hero:

At least the Nazis used a realistic (albeit fanciful) depiction of their hero. Our modern-day wannabe totalitarians have to rely on their stumbling standard-bearer as a comic-book superhero, and his sidekick in her best “tonight I’m gonna blow Willie Brown” costume.

What a shambles.
