| In which Rantburg's own Raj has a small but satisfying adventure. |
I was going to a client in Belmont yesterday morning to do some year-end tax stuff when I drove through Watertown Square, a huge lefty section of Eastern Massachusetts. I spotted two Bernie Sanders supporters holding signs, with one sign urging people to 'Honk for Bernie'. During a minute at the stoplight, I noticed a number of people in BMW's and Mercedes cars doing just that with huge smiles on their faces while doing so.
I had a different approach. Recalling the opening scene of 'Die Hard With a Vengeance', I rolled down my window and yelled out 'What The Fuck?' and started abusing both of them. Among other things, I yelled out - 'He doesn't have a prayer in hell - he wants a 90% top tax rate - he's a fucking socialist!' The bearded guy says - 'I'm not gonna pay that rate!'. So I yell back - 'That's because you're a BUM - you don't make jack sh*t for money - just look at yourself!'
Yes, I'm just spreading the Christmas cheer! |
