Humor PING!
Since we’re living in IDIOCRACY, a Coen Brothers comedy is indeed just what the US needs as an antidote.
He's bona fied.
Pappy O’Daniel: I’ll press your flesh, you dimwitted sumbitch! You don’t tell your pappy how to court the electorate. We ain’t one-at-a-timin’ here. We’re MASS communicating!
Homer Stokes: And I say to you that the great state a Mississippi cannot afford four more years a Pappy O’Daniel - four more years a cronyism, nepotism, racialism and service to the Innarests! The choice, she’s a clear ‘un: Pappy O’Daniel, slave a the Innarests; Homer Stokes, servant a the little man! Ain’t that right, little fella?
Pappy O’Daniel: Moral fibre? I invented moral fibre! Pappy O’Daniel was displaying rectitude and high-mindedness when that egghead you work for was still messing his drawers!
Pappy’s Staff: The reason he’s pullin’ our pants down.
Pappy’s Staff: Gonna paddle a little behind.
Pappy’s Staff: Ain’t gonna paddle it - gonna kick it, real hard.
Pappy’s Staff: No, I believe he’s gonna paddle it.
Pappy’s Staff: I don’t believe that’s a proper characterization.
Pappy’s Staff: Well, that’s how I’d characterize it.
Pappy’s Staff: I believe it’s more of a kickin’ sitcheyation.
The one thing that is missing is that likeable schlub for a main character that the Coens usually use.
H.I. McDonough, Norville Barnes, “The Dude”, even Jerry Lundegaard all kind of fit that mold. They are not morally upstanding by a long shot (except Norville maybe), and they are idiots who don’t realize what is going on in the big picture, but the audience can identify with them and their quirkiness anyway.
I’m not really seeing anyone like that in the race.
If you gone napping in 2005 and woke up a decade later....I think you would be in for a heck of a shock.
Hillary just can’t win, period. She can’t win against a no-name Illinois senator, and it appears she can’t win against a 100-percent socialist guy.
Jeb Bush is to get anyone interested in him except the Republican National Committee.
Some Texas Republican senator has come out of thin air and blazing away with Tea-Party slogans.
A black doctor appears to be among the top two Republican possibilities.
And Donald Trump will likely win the primary system and go to the convention....with almost no agenda.
All of this....after almost eight years from some guy who had a six-line resume, and was carried by the national media while forty-odd scandal episodes occurred, including one where Hillary slept through some Libyan episode and another while she ran her own personal e-mail server for all state department traffic.
Blood Simple
So who gets thrown into a woodchipper?
