January 20th 2017…A day that shall go down in history as the day of our everlasting shame.
Yesterday:
As the saying goes; “The fish stinks from the head down.” And so it is that, as I am writing this, I am listening in the background to the televised “inaugural welcome concert.”
The opening line of the first recorded song played was “There’ve been so many girls that I’ve known…” From the song “Heart of Stone.” A perfect choice, under the circumstances, if you are either an arrogant prick or a clueless schmuck. Oh, wait…I forgot.
A bit later, after some shitty ersatz country music, a military band come on and plays the “Liberty Bell March,” the theme song of the great satirical group Monty Python’s Flying Circus! I kid you not!
These people are so unaware, so tone deaf, so blissfully stupid, that they haven’t a clue. And, mind you, this is a direct reflection of the cretin they have chosen to be their great leader.
What fucking farce!

Posted by barkinginthedark | January 21, 2017, 1:28 pmI still remember when Ronald (now Donald) like Ronald Mc Donald, assumed the White House, here is a song from those times that properly fits in our current times and locations : Dead Kennedys, California uber alles…
Last call for alcohol.
Last call for your freedom of speech.
Drink up. Happy hour is now enforced by law.
Don’t forget our house special, it’s called a Trickie Dickie Screwdriver.
It’s got one part Jack Daniels, two parts purple Kool-Aid,
and a jigger of formaldehyde
from the jar with Hitler’s brain in it we got in the back storeroom.
Happy trails to you. Happy trails to you.
I am Emperor Ronald Reagan
Born again with fascist cravings
Still, you made me president
Human rights will soon go ‘way
I am now your Shah today
Now I command all of you
Now you’re going to pray in school
I’ll make sure they’re Christian too
California Uber alles
Uber alles California
Ku Klux Klan will control you
Still you think it’s natural
Nigger knockin’ for the master race
Still you wear the happy face
You closed your eyes, can’t happen here
Alexander Haig is near
Vietnam won’t come back you say
Join the army or you will pay
California Uber alles
Uber alles California
Yeah, that’s it. Just relax.
Have another drink, few more pretzels, little more MSG.
Turn on those Dallas Cowboys on your TV.
Lock your doors. Close your mind.
It’s time for the two-minute warning.
Welcome to 1984
Are you ready for the third world war?!?
You too will meet the secret police
They’ll draft you and they’ll jail your niece
You’ll go quitely to boot camp
They’ll shoot you dead, make you a man
Don’t you worry, it’s for a cause
Feeding global corporations’ claws
Die on our brand new poison gas
El Salvador or Afghanistan
Making money for President Reagan
And all the friends of President Reagan
California Uber alles
Uber alles California…

Posted by barkinginthedark | January 20, 2017, 4:44 pmCretin. One of my favorite words. Used correctly! As I’ve said before, Tony, your intestinal fortitude in exposing yourself to something like the pre-inaugural concert, is far greater than mine. I salute you! 😉 xoM
