This was Christian comedian and musician Tim Hawkins’ sly commentary on the 2016 elections about a month ago. He’s pretty careful to stay away from overt party politics, but his past jokes about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton suggest that he’s not too upset about the current man on deck for the White House. Besides, the way things are going, we may still get a cheeseburger in every pot, palm trees on the White House lawn and “approval at 100% percent, because the Donald is the President…”

There’s not much to love about Team Hillary – which becomes more odious and puerile as time marches on. I’m certain that Donald Trump could find a way to put palms into the White House lawn. But I’m not sold on the $30 cheeseburger at Trump Tower.
Puerile is a particularly good word to describe their despicable acts lately, LL. Thanks. But, I thought the cheeseburger was $25 and came with a bottle of Dom Perignon? Did I hear that wrong?
Looking forward to Jan. 20th. Oh, yes I am!
This time, Happy New Year is gonna really mean something.
Nice one, Grunt. Have you noticed how cheap and plentiful steak is since the election? I like that.
I have! And I approve. Not sure what the cause is, exactly. Did the drought ease up enough in the midwest to allow for plenty of cheap hay and feedcorn?
Sailing away on a boat, palm trees and cheeseburgers. And most importantly MAR(mite) sorry, I meant MARGARITAS! Win. Vote Jimmy Buffet.
[Wise-ass comment about the British and Marmite. Deleted at Sol’s request.]
All right, Grumpy, just because I mentioned that your last comment was fairly innocent doesn’t mean I think you should amp it up to 11!
Patience, partner. It’s all innocent and only refers to well-known Brit traits…not to anything done by a specific Brit. Let’s wait and see, though, what the response/defense might be. It could be an amusing exchange.
I’ve got no words, but I’ll sing you a song:
can’t get that to come up. is there just one pertinent part? or what should be put in the bar?
never mind.
Good song.
Bookmarked.
No offense, Bro, but you know perfectly well that this is too personal to be amusing for anybody. War should be reserved for mortal enemies, not soured friendships. Besides, I know you both personally, as in my wife and I have been drinking – in person – with BOTH of you. Are you sure this is a good idea? I won’t stop either one of you, but it doesn’t make me happy.
Strip it out if you want. I just wanted to see if I got a thank you email for the shirt she asked for.
Your blog – your call. No sweat.
That’s ok, Sol. You can always say what you want on my blog. You’ve always been there for me, and I appreciate it. Since LSP’s video, though not clear, seems to indicate ‘war’, I’m just not pleased with the prospect of losing a whole set of blogging friends all over again. It’s already happened so often, as you know.
I just wonder who’s declaring war…and on whom…for what.
Hey! No war, that’s for Kellogg’s. Just standing up for the Brit side of things. Where;s the bar?!?
Nah. Take it out if you want. It was just joking around. I didn’t stop to think it might cost you blogging friends. Your call brother-man.
Thanks, guys. No sweat.
Well, apparently, you no longer need to choose between Marmite and Margaritas. This is a thing, now. Not sure how it works, though, since Absinthe is French, Marmite British and this is made in Spain. Weird.
The whole time that Absinthe was outlawed/banned, the Spanish kept on making it. While a lot was consumed in Spain and a lot went to the Legion in North Africa…there is a pile of it that just disappeared. You don’t suppose that it was being smuggled out to other countries? /sarc/
Heh! No doubt!
Great song ! Great idea ! I’m going to replace my “Phil Roberts” and “Ted Nugent” For President bumper stickers !
btw…is that ‘Marmite’ similar to that nasty shit called ‘Vegamite’ I tried once in Australia ?
If it is, I know why we are all on separate continents.
I thought it was the same thing, Terry. And I’ve only tried the Vegemite. But Jules tells me that the Marmite is much better. One of these days we’ll have to do a side-by-side taste test with some toast and lots of booze to wash it down…
It would HAVE to be better than that pureed sewer scrapings that I tried.
I’m gonna pass on that taste-test Grunt. But I suggest if you proceed, a glass of bleach to wash it down may serve you better.
LOL! I’ll give Jules the benefit of the doubt on the Marmite, but I truly agree with you on the Vegemite. It made me want to get a mouth transplant!
I just found out that Tim Hawkins will be coming to Eau Claire next summer! Maybe you and wifie should come for a visit then? 🙂
That would be awesome! A Tim Hawkins concert would be a blast. We’ll try to make it work. We need to go back there and visit this kid, anyway, and we’d love to see you guys.
