And now time for not so deep thoughts by Hack Jandy
The Crackers Barrell fight was like not necessarily the news…not news, but like eye candy, impossible to resist commenting on…But, to wit, and this is a completely unsubstantiated opinion that first comes to mind (to Witt, All humans are prejudiced), like the disastrous D.I.E., I mean D.E.I. hire that thought it was a good idea to put a dude that looks like a lady on a Bud Light can…the anti cracker lady in charge of a company literally called Cracker Barrel was indoctrinated, I mean illiberal educated at the same type of ivy league business school where students are literally taught to obsess about race, gender and class…with a special emphasis for disdain of the latter, white, rural types. Isn’t ironic Crackers, I mean Cracker Barrel patrons saint is nothing but a rich white trash city slicker condo salesmen (hat tip Jonah) blowhard with the poison pen of a President and an equally filthy appedite.
Homer nods, I mean The Village Idiwitt to Bret Stephen’s…wish he had caught on ten years gone ago when some raving and drooling (hat tip Roger Waters) anti Trumper was calling The Don a crony capitalist pig…Where have all the Republican cowboys gone that should be unloading their collective verbal guns at this revanchist soviet socialist apologist turning the U.S. big government into an wholly armed umbrella of the Trump family business (oh, wait, no one cares his son in law signed a 2 billion dollar contract with a cold blooded murderer and pseudo theocratic Saudi dictators haus of fraud…every time I see a picture of that deeply creepy, sinister Jared Kushner, I cannot help but think he should suffer the same ghastly fate as Jamal Khashoggi…forgive me Jesus, unlike Francis a Sissy, I believe in capital punishment for those that get in bed with murderers…just as I can relate to the desire to have seen Klaus Barbie [what a great pull from black history Jay]…how and why he escaped the ultimate punishment is a stain on the U.S. intelligence ops)
As I keep liking them, there are “Leftist” and “Rightists” (a.k.a. “Trumpers”). And, as with all things contrarian, from the literate Ying Noam Chomsky to his Yang Jordan Peterson, coming from this formerly 20’s something die hard, puritanical Libertarian…taking the political worlds most extreme views only comes natural to peoples on the political extremes. Just like Chomsky and Ron Paul’s first reflex on 9 11, was on 9 11 to blame the victims for their fate…not the fing evil doers themselves….And don’t get me started on The Dons despicable, fabricated remarks about that atrocity.
Again, on Paramount rightfully canceling an unfunny man…you know, the same big corporation that ponied up ten (count them TEN!) figures to two cartoonists…Well, they have already proved their weight in comedy gold (I could watch Donald J Trump fake commercial at the end of episode number 1…that looks real…except, of course, The Dons little…finger…The two guys so brilliantly savage how herds give into the powers that be and willingly pay for it, by kicking up to the man…when ordered…And they hear the judgement from their Jewish lawyer. ..”we just gotta work together” because they are “South Park” and created…I could watch that clip over and over because it is so, oh my God, funny and brilliantly cutting The Don’s you know what off…Unlike Colbert, by comparison is seen…and unseen …Funny when it comes a cartoon knowing how to make fun of politicians…you know, by being funny, not just politically opinionated…No one is safe from a real comic, don’t believe me, just check out the outrageously original take on The Sherman on the Mount
Gotta run on. God help U.S. We the Living in Idiocracy (The South Park boys have always known that, whereas, because of not an ounce of self reflection, Stephen Colbert cannot see he is just as much a part of the problem as any fake FOXY News wannabe influencer turning politics into a daily espn sport center broadcast…). Here we are now, Trump entertain U.S. (KILL YOUR TELEVISION, and pony up to the Paramount app instead…it’s worth its weight in comedy gold….wait, didn’t I say I gotta run on as I am always want to parenthetically digress)
Thanks for taking my rant Onward and Upward Buttercup. Peace through superior mental firepower (every wonder why Cracker Barrell does not have a drive through…neither have I)
1. Hard to believe the lack of foresight that went into the "rebranding".
2. This is a tempest in a teapot. All locations are still open, all of them at exits along the interstate. And it's not like Applebee's is going to start selling 4000 calorie breakfasts.
3. Amazed they had the common sense to do, "Oh, never mind," and undo it.
4. My favorite Cracker Barrell story. Family dinner. Four tables pushed together. I have charge of Grandson #1. He orders the fried chicken. It comes with three vegetables. He orders mashed potatoes, french fries, and hash brown casserole. I let him. My wife and daughter say, "You let him?"
I wonder, Jay, if the same thing occurs to you as it does to me, every time I sit down in the Cracker Barrel and look around at the other customers: they’re almost all of them at least 60 pounds overweight! I eat there once or twice a year, maybe — but the other customers look like they eat there several times a week, and never stop eating till their plates are licked clean.
As someone in the middle of losing 60 (or 70) pounds, I have to point out that I gained them without setting foot in a Cracker Barrel or any similar establishment.

You give the phrase, "What's up, Buttercup?" new meaning.
My husband and I really appreciate your writing.
Great column. Thank you.
CRACKER BARREL
1. Hard to believe the lack of foresight that went into the "rebranding".
2. This is a tempest in a teapot. All locations are still open, all of them at exits along the interstate. And it's not like Applebee's is going to start selling 4000 calorie breakfasts.
3. Amazed they had the common sense to do, "Oh, never mind," and undo it.
4. My favorite Cracker Barrell story. Family dinner. Four tables pushed together. I have charge of Grandson #1. He orders the fried chicken. It comes with three vegetables. He orders mashed potatoes, french fries, and hash brown casserole. I let him. My wife and daughter say, "You let him?"
Nice stuff, the new right is giving the woke left a run in the stupidity contest.
Great entry in the Onward & Upward collection.
I also thoroughly enjoyed the two conversations from Salzburg.
Have a great long weekend!
Jay, I agree on the grilled catfish. My go-to side is the pintos with chow-chow (you have to ask for the chow-chow).
"Fights, Good and Bad" and unutterably dumb.
For what ails you, America, I recommend that you make an animal friend today. Engagement with nature correlates with happiness.
I am far more like to speak to an animal I don't know than to a person.
"Good morning, Ma'am. Good morning, Dog."
I wonder, Jay, if the same thing occurs to you as it does to me, every time I sit down in the Cracker Barrel and look around at the other customers: they’re almost all of them at least 60 pounds overweight! I eat there once or twice a year, maybe — but the other customers look like they eat there several times a week, and never stop eating till their plates are licked clean.
As someone in the middle of losing 60 (or 70) pounds, I have to point out that I gained them without setting foot in a Cracker Barrel or any similar establishment.
What's your point? Should we all look like Jarred at Subway? Okay, bad example; he doesn't look the same in DOC Orange.
No point!
