American politics, extreme metaphor edition




At one Des Moines precinct tonight, an attendee brought in a concealed bottle of wine, dropped it, and it shattered everywhere




Yeah, caucuses are fun they said. That is until your wine is as broke as the system. 😑

Then looked back accusingly.

But, seriously, decisions as serious as this require a person to be drunk, right?

Have I mentioned I dislike caucuses recently? They're rife with this sort of crap.

From a person who's been there and seen that. Except it was tequila and they didn't break their bottle, sadly. It's just a game to some people.

Primaries are exponentially better.. no "concealed" vino required.

It's an excellent metaphor for what happened tonight..

Bring ski mitts. Put the bottle in your ski mitt. Hold your mitts. That is what i did at a football game in university.

And it seems to be how much reverence was paid to this process.

You earn a win-win score!

I held them in my hand, as you do glives, and held my hands up as you do when you are getting patted down. LOL!
