A DAILY INNOCULATION AGAINST POLITICAL AND CULTURAL BULLSHIT

________________________________________

TWEET BEGS OFF

The fact that one of our political parties is comfortable with espousing complete nonsense and paranoia on multiple fronts is proof enough that America is seriously ill such that attempting to discuss or reason through problems is a pointless exercise. The staggering amount of time wasted online and elsewhere in "debating" our condition is itself evidence of the illness. Polities usually break through conditions like this when they are faced with conditions which will take them down - providing that the conditions are immediate enough that they can see the danger in their own back yards. We are a long, long way from that day, so I beg off the discussion. What will be will be. If you're young enough, self-protection is the watchword. If you're not, pull up your lawn chair and watch the show.

Mr. Petite has been an adviser to both the Bush and Obama administrations (neither of which ever asked for his advice - and they certainly never took it, so don't blame Tweet) and is a Senior Fellow at (and is supported entirely by) the ETHICS AND THEORY INSTITUTE OF TERMINOLOGY (EATIT), a foundation underwritten by the parents of a United States Senator in return for Mr. Petite's silence on certain important matters. Which explains why he doesn't do TV.

Mr. Petite is a native of virtual New Orleans, and therefore a legal immigrant to his actual residence, so he has never had to do migrant farm work or landscaping. (He did do some shrimping in the virtual bayous on some of the days he played hookey from school.) The use of the word "onions" is metaphoric, or something. His sole contact with actual onions is in some of the better gumbos.

Ever hear of headphones? If idiotic things like this are what America is back to selling, we're going down the tubes. Now, if it was powered by water, or air ... who am I kidding?
