THE HOUSE OF USHERESQUE
Tubularsock has finally figured out what this horrendous horrible mess of this election represents ……. and Edgar Allan Poe warned us years ago …… but OH, NO …. we didn’t pay attention! We didn’t listen.
We have entered the House Of Usheresque. Sure, we didn’t have to enter and really should have known as soon as we approached the door to the castle not to but we did. A “dead” give-away was the color and consistency of the moat which had to be the result of another BP Oil spill.
But all oil disaster leaks are promised to be cleaned up as good as new and we still believe THAT, so of course we’ll enter the castle. Besides there is a storm raising hell outside created, WE ARE TOLD, by the Russians so in we go.
Now as we enter we are confronted with something far more scary than Edgar Allen Poe and Vincent Price we meet THE TWINS …. Hillary and Donnie. BE SCARED, BE REALLY REALLY SCARED.
You see, and most Americans don’t, Hillary and Donnie are the same side of the same coin. In America there is only one side … it’s the illusion of a “two” party system!
They are both corrupt ad nauseam, they are both pro-war, they are both bad sex jokes, and the worst part for Tubularsock, THEIR VOICES!
Four years having to listen to either of those voices and Tubularsock may transform into a full time ghoul!
Now let’s look at the “TWINS”.
They, to Tubularsock, represent the FULL SPECTRUM of the lie that is the United States of America.
What is with this “holier than thou“ shit spewing from the politicians, the media, and the public. What the fuck?
Donald Trump IS AMERICA unleashed.
Donald Trump states that “we should torture” ….. the response is outrage.
But we do and have tortured as a NATIONAL POLICY! Anyone held responsible? It is a war crime, you know. Anyone held responsible? No really, anyone held responsible? Gosh, let’s look forward ………..
So exactly, what is this outrage about when Donnie says it?
Donald Trump objectifies women ….. the response is outrage.
But our culture objectifies women …… why is that woman draped all over that car in every ad? What are all those “beauty pageants” all about. Women on parade in bikinis with high heels? Give Tubularsock a break! And high heels …. according to fashion gurus “high heels lift the woman’s ass”! Enough said! What the fuck does Playboy Magazine in every barbershop represent?
So exactly, what is the outrage about when Donnie says it?
Donald Trump states that the system is rigged! ….. the response is ridicule.
But it is TOTALLY rigged! Just look at the “investigation” into the Kennedy murder, the King murder, and the 9/11 murders ….. no Tubularsock means LOOK!!!
But Americans prefer to live within the hypocrisy rather than face it. So they live and support THE LIE THAT IS AMERICA and they teach their children to “fit-in”!
And as one follows all the crap Trump says you’ll find America’s shadow-side. The difference is that Hillary is the FAKE side of American hypocrisy.
And Hillary can support Guantanamo and its torture until she doesn’t.
Hillary can ridicule and demean all the women Bill fucked and raped and still champion “feminism”.
Hillary can email out “TOP SECRET” information but condemns Edward Snowden as a traitor.
Hillary can take bribes disguised as “speaking engagements” from Wall Street and the Military Industrial Complex and condemn Trump as a bad businessman.
And Hillary can be against all those trade treaties until AFTER she’s elected.
So what we have within The House Of Usheresque is the phantasm of America coupled with the psychological view that the twins represent two aspects of one personality.
That being said, Tubularsock can now rest in his tomb until nightfall within Tubularsock’s top floor corner office in his underground bunker overlooking Washington, D.C. from Oakland, CA. (see:Bunker Tour)
Sweet dreams …………….
“…the FAKE side of American hypocrisy.”
Tubularsock, Fake hypocrisy? Hmm. Is that anything like imaginary numbers? Personally, I kind of like trying to pretzel my so-called brain around the idea of “the square root of negative one” and such things … always makes me wonder how mathematicians find the time to think up such stuff.
But hypocrisy, real or otherwise, is somehow less entertaining. Maybe there’s just too much of it, like irony.
Thanks for deferring your dreams long enough to give us another fine post. – Linda

Is this what Steely Dan meant by “Pretzel Logic”?

Linda, Tubularsock is so happy to answer your question about “imaginary numbers”. And yes Tubularsock is qualified to discuss Trump’s tax returns. With the often used tax formula “the square root on negative one” the rich pay no taxes!
You Linda, because you have pretzelized your mind, seem not to grasp the positiveness of negativeness which if you subtract seven and a half in an elevator going to the fifth floor with only three positive people getting off would leave the rest of the ride to the thirty-third floor a very negative conversational experience.
And FAKE hypocrisy is just a form of political spin that uses the reverse negative one as a the base number for a real square position in a hip society.
Any other questions?

Excuse Tubularsock but the quintessential definition of “hip” IS Tubularsock! In fact, if the truth-be-known, Tubularsock is so hip that the term was created to describe Tubularsock’s being! And THAT in itself is so fucking hip!
Thanks for asking, sojourner!

God damn, Tubular Man! (You know, like “God Damn, Pusher Man!”) Every once in a while, Tube, you really nail the shit to the wall, you really hit the mark, you really are spot on!
When I got done reading this, I was too overwhelmed to even attempt to rant! And this ain’t no fun, not for me. So stop it, Tube, stop being so damn spot on correct!
In fact, this is being attached to one of the articles I am posting tomorrow, which all four just happen to deal with this fucked up theme.

My parents are applauding your comment from the grave, Tube, along with many who are still living, including my former wife. I’m sending her your comment, I’m sure this will help with her recovery in the asylum. Poor thing, she’s been there since she went screaming out the door that day all those years ago.
It’s tough being a lady’s man, a Greek God figure!
Yes, I know, Tube, I rant far too much. But someone has to do it, and I have the inclination, so I signed up!
