Last Call!!

Back in my bartending days I used to- at first- try to settle combative drunks down, by very fatherly advising them that they might be dealing with the police if they didn't settle down.

Sometimes this worked but, more often than not, they replied: "Go aheAD I ill KICk THEyRE AsS 2!!!!!!"

(Editor note: the sp's are Ferrerman being "cute" to illustrate *drunk speak*. Neat, eh?)

The thing was the "....i'll kick their ass TOO...." that always got me. In their inebriated mind, they had already kicked my ass so, five or six cops would be 'no problem'. Then, ON TO POLAND!

This is how I view the tea partiers. Earlier in the day (two years ago) they were fine and sorta sober. But tonight (right now) they are liquored up and spoiling for a fight.

Things need to go their way, "RIGHT NOW!!! That hot chick, I want to see her tits, NOW! DRINKS ON THE HOUSE!!!! WOO HOO!!! Fuckin' niggers! MOOSESLIMES!! Huh? FIVE DOLLARS!!??? FOR A BEER?????"

You might know how it goes. You go out to have a good time and, invariably, somebody just doesn't get it and they fuck up and try to ruin it for everybody else because, well, it seems like the thing to do at the time.

Well, that's America. Everybody is different more or less and everybody reacts in their own way. It's one of the things that makes us great as a country. We can all be out for the evening, in the same place and most of us can enjoy it but, some people just don't get it.

The tea party and those who follow them, are like the drunk at the end of the bar who, two or three past anyone's limit, thinks, anything goes and should go.

"End 'big government'"? "No standing armies"? "End social services"? "No gun control"?

If you really want all this, move to Somalia. They already have all that.

To think that everyone in a nation of 300 million can fend for themselves with no rules and regulations is beyond drunkeness. It's idiocy.

I think the teabaggers have been over-served.

I don't know if coffee will help but, someone has to think about reforming this country without hate and violence. We have a man in office trying to do just that. He needs our help.
