Peacock Tongues

In the corrupt and dying days of the Roman Empire, it's leaders indulged in excesses of all types ... sexual, criminal, foppish and gluttonous. They dissolved precious pearls in their wine and had sumptuous feasts of cock's combs and peacock tongues. I think we are beginning to see a distasteful replication of these Roman indulgences in our current cast of poltroon politicians. A few days ago I predicted the kind of excesses we might see at the recent Climate Summit in Paris ... see: The French Connection. I think I hit the nail on the head:

The above photo displays the extravagant excesses enjoyed by Obummer, John Kerry and other world "leaders" at one of their lavish "down on CO2" feasts in Paris while, at the same time, finding the unmitigated gall to lecture the rest of the world on how we need to do what they say ... and not what they do.

Which way to the vomitorium?

New Year’s Resolutions

1)      I’ve decided to stop calling President Obama “The Barry” … like we call Donald Trump, “The Donald.”  This is clearly a disrespecting appellative.  From now on, I occasionally might call Obama “His Royal Highness.”
2)      I will offer to drive any EBT card holders who have “lost” their EBT card to the Massachusetts state center to receive a new EBT card … as many times as are required (but no more than five times a month per holder).
3)     I will not “fudge” on my tax returns this year as I herein resolve to help His Royal Highness pay for his many lavish vacations, White House celebrations, and golf outings..
4)     I mean to keep my non-conforming political thoughts to myself … and only those discontents who read this blog.  At parties and other social gatherings I will echo the MSNBC talking points (especially Al Sharpton’s).
5)      I plan to lose 55 pounds by strictly following Michelle Obama’s diet regime = waygu beef, peacock tongues, and caviar (of course paid for by U.S. taxpayers.)
6)      I intend to install solar panels on my house’s roof and refuse any associated tax credits … and not laud it over my global-warming denier friends.  I also intend to exhale only half as much in order to reduce my carbon footprint.
7)      I will rent every Michael Moore DVD ever made and watch them over and over until I am converted fully to his warped way of thinking.
8)      I shall denounce my desire that the U.S. balance it’s fiscal accounts and will publicly revile anyone who does … feeling that our national debt is inconsequential at best.  This includes placing an iconic statuette of Little Timmy Geithner on my mantel.
9)       I no longer will watch anything on Fox News.
10)   I intend to start a "Hillary in 2016" political action committee.
