Pass the Popcorn, Please
I love to watch a good movie on the theater screen. I don't mean the crappy, over-budget, all flash and no substance kind of crap that Hollywood has deemed acceptable to the American public, despite their horror at Trump's "locker room" talk. I mean good movies like the original Star Wars series, or Braveheart, where it goes into places that you haven't envisioned and takes you for a great ride. The kinds of movies that make you want to cheer the victor and rail against the enemy. The kind of movies that hold western values dear like belief, honor, truth, and the defeat of evil
When we go to the movies popcorn is a must. The saltier and buttery the better. I'm sure it's just a force of habit but to me, good popcorn makes the movie better. I can sit there and munch away, pausing on the way to the bucket when there is a really good part on, eating my fill even though I might have eaten supper prior. It enhances the experience even though it costs more than a good steak. I can probably count on one hand the times that I have gone and not purchased any. I have made sure that I have a good stock of popcorn in the cabinets. The way this election is finishing I believe that I'm going to need a lot. It is supplying the kind of drama that makes good theater. You have an accomplished billionaire who looked at the presidential race and decided that they were a fool’s lot. Establishment types and political party panderers who had unmade the country that he loved into a third world paradise. You have the ultimate political hack who thinks the country owes her for her "service", who is beholding to every Muslim run country, and who is an inveterate liar, not to mention that she is back under FBI investigation.
As with most good story lines, this one is full of great stakes and drama. The billionaire, who was friends with most of his antagonists before he decided to run for office, has shown to be resilient in the manner of superman. Occasionally running afoul of kryptonite or some plot line but falling back into "Make America Great" mode. Telling simple truths that once were accepted as such. Taking care of our own, borders, veterans, minding our own business, justice, laws applicable to all, and the abortion death cult. Fighting globalism and the trashing of our forefathers vision. Fighting someone who believes in only herself, truly what we have become.
I don't allow the news on at my house for the simple fact that any of the "Housewives" shows have more truth in them than any daily news program. I will invite you over to eat some popcorn with me, discuss the latest hashing of recriminations and stupidity, and enjoy each other’s company while we still can. I believe that I'm right in predicting the way the winds are blowing but you sometimes can't tell with all the fans on. The election is upon us. Here's hoping that the great defecation oscillator that Washington has become can at least be turned on low, if not off. Pass the popcorn. Until next week. ags.
