"...there ain't nothing that a man likes better than a good piece of ass."
Most of you have heard of the April 15th protests that are happening around the country. By now you’ve seen them advertised on TV or in your local fishwrap about how Rich-Wing Republicans are getting together to eat pork sandwiches, throw teabags all over the place, and then march to whatever Governmental Building they happen to be close to and have some kind of rally.
Just what is this supposed to accomplish?
Does this do anything but let those of us who are unemployed and in trouble and in desperate need of a job right now that we do not matter to them at all?
Does this do anything but say to the unemployed, underemployed and underutilized out here that we do not count as people, that we are all “unpersons?”
Is this anything other than a way for Newt Gingrich and his ilk to say to the rest of the world in regards to our futures “Let them eat cake?”
Well, if that’s the way they want it, then I say BRING IT ON!!!
I say if they want us to eat cake then that is what we shall do!
They want to devour pork as a symbol of “wasteful spending” , then we should eat cake as a symbol of their callous attitudes towards us.
I know that this will probably not get organized in time for Wednesday but since most of the “Teabaggers” seem to be Republicans who are well off, have jobs and don’t want to have to pay their fair share, since they all seem to have a problem with the middle-class and blue-collar workers whom they see as peasants, why not do what Marie Antoinette was reported to have suggested? You remember the quote: “If they cannot afford bread, let them eat cake.”
So that is what I am suggesting as a counter-protest to the “Teabaggers”. I propose that all of us who are being shut out and turned away for employment by the “Teabaggers” should have a party of our own.
A “Let them eat cake” party.
If they are going to be eating pork sandwiches and tossing teabags around into bodies of water and mailing used teabags to the White House, then we should be mailing cakes to our representatives in Congress. We can mail Cheesecakes to Congress, Bundt Cakes to Wall Street, Cupcakes to FOX News, 7-layer Pineapple Upside-down Cakes to the Banks, and Fruit Cakes to Boss Hogg eeeerrrrrr I mean, Rush Limbaugh. While they are marching and chanting about “taking the country back” then we should be marching alongside them chanting “Give us our jobs back.”
Failing that, if this can’t get organized that quickly because it is such short notice, then all of you should think about getting some of your unemployed and underutilized friends together and you should just eat cake. All day. Cake for breakfast, cake for lunch, cake for dinner, any kind of cake you could possibly want. Cheesecake, layered cake, cupcakes, pineapple upside-down cake, whatever cake you could find. Just eat cake! After all, it’s what we peasants do. It’s what the “Teabaggers” actually want us to do, so why not do it?
I plan on eating cake on April 15th in protest of the protest. I hope that all of you will join me…
…and I hope someone remembers to bring the Alka-Seltzer to the party, just in case.
