How To Choose.

Hot fun in the summer time. Pubs and Crats are having a steel cage death match over the debt ceiling. Why can't they argue about something important like beach pizza? I know it's boring, but there's a few choices on the table. One, we have some new taxes, then some new cuts to programs, social security and medicare need a good whacking, and everyone gets screwed a little bit. Yea democrats! Making mediocrity a trademark for over a hundred years. Two, we cut programs period, like social security and medicare. Yea republicans! Making war on the working class since 1982. Three, we default on our debt there by taking the economy over a cliff( the opinion of almost ever rich person out there). Yea Teabaggers! Bringing on the crazy since someone forgot to lock your Mom's cellar door. How's the sunlight treating you? Four, tax the bastards that have been robbing us forever, paying out huge bonuses with bailout money, sending our jobs over seas, crashing the economy for fun and profit, exploiting third world children so they can have all blue M+Ms in their lear jet, and just being the evil overlords they always aspired to. That last ones mine but I am a fat little blogger with 30 regular readers so I'm guessing not.

Ah hell, it's summer, it's hot, and there are more important things to argue about. For example, let's say you are at the beach and you want something more substantial than a piece of pizza but you also want to take part in the tribalism and endless one-upmanship that is the human condition. What do you do? Maybe go up 1A, bang a left at 286, and then get you some Brown's, or Markey's.

Mmmm! Brown's

Mmmm! Markey's

Forget that debt ceiling and all that political nonsense. Here we have clear and obvious differences to talk about. Markey's serves boiled and fried seafood, backs up to a marsh, and is BYOB. Mmmm BYOB! Browns on the other hand is BYOB, Mmmm BYOB! backs up to a marsh, and serves fried and boiled seafood.  Browns is on the north side of 286. Markey's is on the south side of 286. Markey's smells like bilge. Browns smells like bilge. Browns has breath taking views of the Seabrook nuke plant. Markey's has... We have a winner! No Nukes! No Nukes!

So while the pols mud wrestle to see who can keep the middle class on life support the longest reach down into your cooler, grab a frosty PBR,( you heard me Case, you young whippersnapper) and wait patiently for your steamers. Just because clams are god's way of packaging sewage doesn't mean they aren't delicious. Oh, and have a lobster, just because. Hey, live for today!
