Don't Cancel Hamburgers and Beer

I was just watching a clip in which James Carville—a liberal political consultant—advises Democrats not to talk like women.  He says Left leaning women have spoiled the image of the Democratic Party, and it now comes across as preachy and judgemental.  It's as if the Democrats are saying: don't watch football; don't eat hamburgers; and some other startling directives.

I'm paraphrasing, but this gentleman is saying: Football is a popular sport!  You won't get anywhere by badmouthing Football!  And, by extension, 'Hamburgers are a popular food; don't go putting down hamburgers.  And the same goes for beer!'

Well, Trump is a, well, sort of popular guy; shouldn't we say anything nasty about him?

Anyway, advice on healthy eating habits is clearly a no-no.  Do not say anything against anything that's popular with the testosterone-infused Tea Party.  We don't want to come across as 'preachy' and 'feminine', because the Dems are perceived as being dominated by women, and moreover, health- conscious ones. 

This boils down to: don't tell them anything they don't want to hear.  I think James Carville's beer- loving friends have been kidding him about the lack of machismo in the party.  I don't know whether those at whom our PR is directed are going to buy our suddenly growing an extra pair of balls.  Trump's friends just might; they've bought so much BS from Mar-a-Lago, after you've bought tons of it, a few tons more is easy to swallow.  Unfortunately, those who are likely to understand what we stand for are not going to be persuaded by this nonsense.

Talking about guys, I'm beginning to hear firecrackers.  Kids have been acquiring fireworks and firecrackers for days, even weeks, in anticipation of Independence Day.  We can expect that that day is going to be an absolute orgy of noise!  I don't mind too much, but the pets absolutely hate it.  But now, thinking about what comrade James Carville told us, we may come off as preachy women if we say anything about fireworks upsetting dogs and cats!  I can just imagine what they would say about the matter, which would involve a certain amount of swearing, I'm sure. 

But why do guys find it necessary (or fun, or nice) to set them off before Independence Day?  It's just to attract attention to themselves.  That's why guys act up in class. 

It used to be that they wanted to attract the attention of 'hot' girls, but gradually the girls faded out of the picture.  Acting up, setting off firecrackers, doing conspicuously stupid things became an end in itself.  It was to attract attention to themselves. 

Most girls, of course, don't take much notice.  The coolest girls are interested in girls, anyway!  Girls who like boys are usually able to forgive their idiot boy- pets almost anything, but usually express annoyance for a measured period of time, because foolishness reflects badly on them as well.  Oh well, boys will be boys.  That is, they'll be stupid. 

I guess I've lost most of my guy readers!  Most, but probably not all ...
