#1419. The Crudite

Religious preference has always been an issue in American politics.  Hey, what's easier than demonizing someone because they're a Catholic (John F. Kennedy), Jew (Jared Kushner), or Muslim (Ilhan Omar).

Meanwhile, the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate campaign is about to get extremely nasty.  Right up my alley, eh?  Now while I would never expect the Fetterman campaign to raise the issue of Oz being a "secular Muslim," I wouldn't be surprised if some dark money came along and framed Oz as a "godless Islamic fundamentalist."  I think just merely floating that kind of terminology could have a ripple effect with a significant number of traditional Republican voters.  Particularly with the Trump trash

and god-fearing imbeciles in the redder areas of PA.


Seriously, being an atheist is bad enough (I should know).  But the notion of tying Oz to "radical Muslim extremism" as well... in the heart of Pennsylvania... well, I think that would be a knockout blow.

Dr. Oz, welcome to Pennsyl-Tucky.  It does not fit you to a "T."

 


The Crudite
sonofsaf

Wegner’s vegetables are never free, Oz wants carrots and broccoli
Fetterman calls it a veggie tray, but all Oz wants is the crudite

Gimme some love for the crudite
The crudite

Stormy Daniels had a helluva rack, but the Orange Prolapse’s bad in the sack
Trump’s a loser better stop the steal, Viagra is the art of his deal

McDonald’s meal, no crudite, no crudite!

 

Not Fade Away
Grateful Dead

I wanna tell you how it's gonna be, you're gonna give your love to me
I wanna love you night and day, you know my love will not fade away

You know my love will not fade away! / A flood of blood and some crudite
Not fade away

My love is bigger than a Cadillac, I try to show you but you drive me back
Your love for me has got to be real, you're gonna know just how I feel

Our love is real, not fade away, not fade away!



I've seen the Dead play Not Fade Away plenty of times.  But an especially fond memory was from the summer of 1992.  As we exited the venue, all of the hippies launched into a spontaneous NFA chant in the spiral rotunda of cavernous Giants Stadium.  It just had this booming echo vibration.  Indescribable.
