Mashed Potatoes

Sometimes I wonder whether it is possible to experience something so traumatic that it sets a dynamic in motion, so fevered, it would consume a lifetime (and a life) trying to avoid humiliation.

But does having your family all laugh at you because your big brother dumped mashed potatoes on your head to get you to stop being a butt-head to your little brother, really qualify?

The child is the father of the man it is almost impossible to ignore the laughter echoing from Queens down through the Strait of Hormuz.

Weak. Wounded. Evil.
Now old.
Always accountable.

Q&A

Q: How do you spend more than $11.3 billion in six days?

A: You start a war in the middle east without consulting your allies, claiming obliteration and victory (multiple times, like a Tourette’s tic.) All the while, you drive your boot into the neck of the working class, and desperately try to find a spin for quitting that does not make you look weak to your red-hatted fetishists.

Q: Why would you spend more than $11.3 billion in six days?

A: To divert attention from the child rape files.
