Congratulations for surviving another week in The United States of Surrealia ... and let us now, for this brief moment, embrace the sweet opiate of delusion and optimism that has been precipitated by the oh-so-narrow political defeat of a racist right wing zealot in Alabama, whose only distinguishing policy departure from his senate colleagues was his unapologetic embrace of pedophilia.
But, as the orange haze of Tweet storms finally dissipates from the hollows of Alabama, and our emboldened stewards of democracy embrace the euphoria of fiscal Hara-kiri, we are cheerfully left to contemplate the mounting revelations of pervasive predatory sexual assault that are a deep moral indictment of our national consciousness. Meanwhile, California is being consumed in an apocalyptic maelstrom of wild fires, while the patriarch of our Idiocracy boastfully ignites the fuse of an ancient religious powder keg that, otherwise, had been one of the only relatively dormant conflict points in the Mideast ... oh ya, and North Korea is scheduled to test launch another ICBM this weekend! ;-)
Cocktail anybody?
Yes, my Proletariat Patriots, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening ... 'cuz we can all use a holiday break from this shit show. As always, our CAYA Alchemists will be on hand to diligently fulfill your fluid desires* ... delivering ephemeral highballs; mixed with a healthy jigger of low expectations and a dash of escapism, shaken to the point of disorientation, and served in the chilled lamp light of the Haberdashery's hypnotic dappled shade and shadow, and garnished with a twist of musical zest.
Note: *fluid desires may be provided upon request.
Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. As always, please feel free to swagger in on your Sassy mare for a quickie en route to your primary holiday evening destination ... or to linger indefinitely.
Yours,
Los Cabañeros
