Mope And Change, "Folks"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With the 'Folks-O-Meter' off the scale, President Obama has some right to be disappointed at last night's performance. However, as the President explains in the following clip shows, "it doesn't make me mopey," it makes him hopey?

 

"It doesn't make me mopey" even if 'folks' are

 

"Folks" count seems to spike around elections...

 

and was off the scale today

I feel vaguely better today knowing 'this democracy is working'.

Rush L is right, the vote was anti Obama and no one was voting FOR republicans.

If the Rs get that message they may just govern well...for a while.

I've been an R for 22 years and they have completely dropped the ball 3 times. Gingrich screwed up the Contract with America, Tome Delay though it was more fun to make money that govern well and then we gave America Bush (our deepest apologies, may America learn and kill all the offspring of any families that attempt that dynasty  thing again).

This time all they need to do is say 'fuck you'...how hard can that be?....oh and impeachment is now possible..so there is that...cept testicles are involved....and there is a shortage. I bet that hog lady from Iowa could get some though.

I knew it! I damn well KNEW that one of the first things I'd hear from the mouth of an R was impeachment. For the love of a Supreme Being, you don't remember how well that went over in the Clinton years? The R's simply need to stick to the script someone up above laid out.....just fucking say no. You want to fuck things up and ensure the Hildebeast gets in? Keep talking impeachment.

On the other hand, maybe impeachment just finally pushes us into the civil war everyone has been talking about. For my sake, can you wait until I go to Asia for an extended period before you fuck up the last vestiges of this country? I'm pushing 60 and I would just as soon watch this one sitting in a hawker center in Singapore eating some chicken rice, satay or laksa.

the details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

This is no game. You might think this is a game, but, trust me, this is
no game.

This is not something where rock beats scissors or paper covers rock or
rock wraps itself up in paper and gives itself as a present to scissors.
This isn’t anything like that. Or where paper types something on itself
and sues scissors.

This isn’t something where you yell “Bingo!” and then it turns out you
don’t have bingo after all, and what are the rules again? This isn’t
that, my friend.

This isn’t something where you roll the dice and move your battleship
around a board and land on a hotel and act like your battleship is
having sex with the hotel.

This isn’t tiddlywinks, where you flip your tiddly over another player’s
tiddly and an old man winks at you because he thought it was a good
move. This isn’t that at all.

This isn’t something where you sink a birdie or hit a badminton birdie
or do anything at all with birdies. Look, just forget birdies, O.K.?

Maybe you think this is all one big joke, like the farmer with the
beautiful but promiscuous daughter. But what they don’t tell you is the
farmer became so depressed that he eventually took his own life.

This is not some brightly colored, sugarcoated piece of candy that you
can brush the ants off of and pop in your mouth.

This is not playtime or make-believe. This is real. It’s as real as a
beggar squatting by the side of the road, begging, and then you realize,
Uh-oh, he’s not begging.

This is as real as a baby deer calling out for his mother.  But his mother won’t be coming home anytime soon, because she is drunk in a bar somewhere.

It’s as real as a mummy who still thinks he’s inside a pyramid, but he’s actually in a museum in Ohio.

This is not something where you can dress your kid up like a hobo and send him out trick-or-treating, because, first of all, your kid’s twenty-three, and, secondly, he really is a hobo.

All of this probably sounds oldfashioned and “square” to you. But if loving your wife, your country, your cats, your girlfriend, your girlfriend’s sister, and your girlfriend’s sister’s cat is “square,” then so be it.

You go skipping and prancing through life, skipping through a field of dandelions. But what you don’t see is that on each dandelion is a bee, and on each bee is an ant, and the ant is biting the bee and the bee is biting the flower, and if that shocks you then I’m sorry.

You have never had to struggle to put food on the table, let alone put food on a plate and try to balance it on a spoon until it gets to your mouth.

You will never know what it’s like to work on a farm until your hands are raw, just so people can have fresh marijuana. Or what it’s like to go to a factory and put in eight long hours and then go home and realize that you went to the wrong factory.

I don’t hate you; I pity you. You will never appreciate the magnificent beauty of a double rainbow, or the plainness of a regular rainbow.

You will never grasp the quiet joy of holding your own baby, or the quiet comedy of handing him back to his “father.”

I used to be like you. I would put my napkin in my lap, instead of folding it into a little tent over my plate, like I do now, with a door for the fork to go in.

I would go to parties and laugh—and laugh and laugh—every time somebody
said something, in case it was supposed to be funny. I would walk in someplace and slap down a five-dollar bill and say, “Give me all you got,” and not even know what they had there. And whenever I found two of anything I would hold them up to my head like antlers, and then pretend that one “antler” fell off.

I went waltzing along, not caring where I stepped or if the other person
even wanted to waltz.

Food seemed to taste better back then. Potatoes were more potatoey, and
turnips less turnippy.

But then something happened, something that would make me understand
that this is no game. I was walking past a building and I saw a man standing high up on a ledge. “Jump! Jump!” I started yelling. What happened next would haunt me for the rest of my days: the man came down from the building and beat the living daylights out of me. Ever since then, I’ve realized that this is no game.

Maybe one day it will be a game again. Maybe you’ll be able to run up and kick a pumpkin without people asking why you did that and if you’re going to pay for it.

Perhaps one day the Indian will put down his tomahawk and the white man
will put down his gun, and the white man will pick up his gun again because, Ha-ha, sucker.

One day we’ll just sit by the fire, chew some tobacky, toast some marshmackies, and maybe strum a tune on the ole guitacky.

And maybe one day we’ll tip our hats to the mockingbird, not out of fear but out of friendliness.

If there’s one single idea I’d like you to take away from this, it is:  This is no game. The other thing I’d like you to think about is, could I borrow five hundred dollars?

(Author’s Note: Since finishing this article, I have been informed that
this is, in fact, a game. I would like to apologize for everything I said above. But please think about the five hundred dollars.)
