There’s a new sheriff in town, and his name is Club Soda. Y’all be cool.
With the proprietor of the Daily Plunge gone fishin’, huntin’ and snackin’ somewhere in the Idahoan wilderness, the sky is now the official limit. Your host while Henshaw is away, Club Soda, can do and say what he pleases.
And what Club Soda pleases is to broach all those subjects they say you can’t discuss in mixed company: religion, politics and science, for instance. But we’ll go beyond that and we’ll even take a shot at enlisting The Deacon in some of the madness while Henshaw is gone.
The other great thing about Henshaw’s absence and Club Soda’s unfettered access to the Daily Plunge is that we can spend a lot of time deconstructing and tearing down Henshaw’s cherished but irrational and misplaced allegiances to Georgia football, North Carolina basketball, Atlanta Braves baseball, North Carolina Panther football, soccer and other objects of affection indicative of mental illness.
Speaking of mental illness, I recently heard Jeb Bush’s name come up as not only a potential candidate for the presidency in 2016, but as the presumptive Republican front runner and nominee should he run. This is lunacy bordering on psychosis. It’s almost as crazy as a Hillary Clinton presidency.
Imagine if your choice at the ballot box in 2016 is between Hillary and Jeb. I don’t know about you, but if that’s the case I’m joining the Texas secessionist movement. Wait. I’ve been an advocate of Texas’ secession since I was a child growing up in Houston, so never mind.
Anyway, I’ve not only been a lifelong advocate of secession, but a longtime advocate of a Constitutional Amendment barring any further Bushes or Clintons from running for any public office, especially the presidency.
It’s somewhat surprising to me that following John Quincy Adams’ stint as president there wasn’t a Nepotism Amendment of some sort drafted shortly after his exit from office. Then again, Americans of the early 19th Century could never have imagined the horror of the Bush-Clinton juggernaut of the late 20th and early 21st Centuries. It’s long past time to end the madness and we’ll do our best here while we have total control of the Daily Plunge. Be afraid. Be very afraid…
