Time to stop crying in our cocktails?over the election. ?That was then and this is now. Time for post-election fun. No amusement to be had? Why,sure there is. Here are just a few diversions:
1. ?There are still ??tea party freaks? Republican legislators who are dealing with any number of indictments. Texas Governor Rick Perry (Just look at him. It is worth a giggle at least) ?and Congressman Michael Grimm (R-NY) spring to mind. Who knows? There might be more. Schadenfreude is fun.
2. Invent a drinking game.This one is mine, but I will share. ?Every time ?war monger likely Chair of the Senate Armed Forces Committee Senator John McCain (R-AZ) says it is time to “bomb-bomb-bomb Iran,” ?take a drink. ?Every time demagogue? Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) just sort of opens his mouth for any reason, even to breathe, take a drink. Every time the?leader of the House Grand Inquisition Chair of House ?Oversight and Government Reform Committee Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) opens a new investigation into an old issue, take a drink. ?Hilarity ensues. Just don’t drive on any given day.
3. Enjoy the rest of 2014. ?Go to parties. Watch TV, especially the HBO series, The Newsroom.
Right after the New Year, the Presidential candidates for 2016 will be announced. ?It will be a laff riot, and one we will enjoy together for about 35?months, until we want to just vomit. ?See #2.
4. Move to a state with legalized pot. ?Or visit friends who live there. ?Often. It is a well documented fact that pot helps with nausea. See #3. ?An added ?plus is short-term memory loss. ?Not exactly “Milk of Amnesia,” but high times are to be had.
5. Listen to lots of music, whatever turns you on. For me, it is and always will be The Grateful Dead. ?Try small batch gin; you will never settle for Beefeaters again, or Bombay Sapphire for that matter. Don’t care for gin? ?Buy a really good single malt whisky. ?Have lots of hot dirty sex. ?Travel. Find a beach and take off all your clothes. ?Let the sunshine in. If you have to exercise, exercise your right to vote.
