I understand that, but how about if you were the only one armed with a chainsaw? Stuff of dreams, right?

that would just be a slightly different nightmare

The Silent SOTU
By Michael Walsh
January 29, 2014 4:03 PM

As it happens, I watched the end of the State of the Union Address (it really does need another name at this point, since it effectively has nothing to do with the actual state of the union) from the vantage point of an exercise bike at a gym largely patronized by emigres from Armenia and their American-born kids. On two screens, President Obama, swivel-necked, flap-jawed and jug-eared, commanded almost nobody’s attention, while the basketball game on the other screens drew a host of viewers on bikes and treadmills. And this, I reflected, was exactly as it should be. The people all around me were the folks who run the restaurants, liquor stores, auto-repair shops, and other business that keep Glendale, Calif., humming; they’ve seen this movie before, and it’s what they saw and lived — and fled — as the Soviet Union was cracking up. They’re too busy making a living to have time for the politics of redistribution.

these fuckin' guys with this shit

tbf, the soviet immigrants i know are the biggest republicans i know

a 2013 high point for me was having dinner w my dealer's rich californian ex-soviet parents and their friends and they were GREAT and awesome to talk to abt literature (and the ussr) but yeah firm republicans. i argued lightly abt reagan with one and he said a bunch of the standard "what you have to understand is that before reagan, everyone was depressed about the direction of the country, nobody knew how america could go forward, and then reagan gave people hope and pride again" stuff, and i had had enough wine bought for me to say "oh u mean like putin"; both of us seemed to immediately regret the conversation after this and went back to talking abt jack london (soviets love jack london b/c their schools didn't hide everything that wasn't about dogs)

so fucking gross tho when american conservatives who never--ugh look never fucking mind

the first sentence is a Steely Dan scenario

for some reason the worst thing for me there tho is "flap-jawed". he's giving a speech! even president john wayne in the alternate universe where america never fell didn't just stand there glowering manfully for two hours.

remember your JFK, Bill: the White Russian community was notoriously anti-Communist.

lol @ bill

This is like how those communists always want to put Czars in charge, right ?

difficult listening hour that whole story rules please write a memoir

pour one out?

Ronald Reagan was born 103 years ago today. That puts his birth closer to the birth of Abraham Lincoln than to today.

what if an accident of birth had placed Reagan's birth closer to Lincoln than today?

Thread's run full circle. Mods, close...?

um

In the library, there is a Heritage Room, which is sort of easy to mock, I guess: It has first editions and old coins and other symbols of our “heritage,” American and more broadly Western. But there’s nothing mockable about it, I find. It’s a wonderful room, even an inspiring one.

As we’re leaving, I say to my guide, “Do you notice the Heritage Room smells good?” “Yes,” he says, “that’s because there are girls in here right now. It smells like girl.”

Nordfinger

it smells like lady liberty

does he think we're gonna mock the heritage room cuz museums are for wimps or what

I'm guessing "smells like girl" isn't quite the same as the "Smell of Female" in the Meyersian sense.

i think i saw Gay Mania open for Pansy Division once

That whole piece is so full of "we accept you gay people already (even though we really don't)" I don't even know where to start.
