I have concluded we presently live in what I can only describe as “Schrodinger’s Election”.  There are two simultaneous scenarios where either candidate actually won the election.  So I decided the only way forward is to take a step back and consult the most perfect political analysis ever performed in the history of Glibertarians.com.

This is my review of Guinness Open Gate Imperial Stout (aged in bourbon barrels):

What was this perfect analysis?  If you recall, it was once argued the 2016 election was really just the plot of Caddyshack.  H/T: JustSayin Tulsi Gabbard Apologist:

At the movie’s climax, the protagonist, Danny Noonan, is presented with an option: either help Dangerfield win a golf bet against Judge Smails and lose his college scholarship or fall in line with an established order that he detests for his own personal gain.  Judge Smails advises him against helping Dangerfield, but Noonan ignores his advice, much like voters in 2016 rebuked the advice of the ruling class.

In the final scenes of the movie, the two sides of the golf bet are even.  Noonan needs to sink his final putt in order for Dangerfield to win the bet.  After a comically long moment of anticipation, Noonan’s putt wins the golf bet for Dangerfield and the workers at the golf course are ecstatic.  Everyone from Noonan’s love interest to a fellow caddy who he has sparred with throughout the film crowd around him in a raucous celebration.  The victory is actually Dangerfield’s, who was the principle of the bet against Judge Smails, but he is seemingly ignored.  Dangerfield, much like our President, served as only the vehicle for these workers to register their frustrations with the golf course’s blue-blood establishment.  The workers gained nothing from Judge Smails losing his bet: Noonan will not be able to afford college without the caddy scholarship that he’s forsaken and the rest of them will go back to the same jobs the next day.  Their celebration is surely fleeting, but for a moment they take enjoyment in besting their betters.

At the time I agreed, and for the most part I still do.  This whole thing was a brief, fleeting victory over the people that believe they are better at deciding how to live our own lives.  In the end those people are still in power, clinging to anything that can keep the wheels turning for them.  Had Trump won this would not change at all.  In fact its probably better this way because Caddyshack 2 was insufferable, even by the standards of a sequel.

Except, JustSayin Tulsi Gabbard Apologist didn’t explain something…

…the movie ended in an Earth Shattering kaboom.

…we didn’t see a kaboom did we?

…no I’m serious, did I miss it, or should I be waiting for it?

 

I for one am happy for the return of winter, because it means I can find stouts and porters again!  This one by Guinness is not their ubiquitous draught stout made at the St. James Gate Brewery I toured in Dublin.  This instead is made at their Open Gate Brewery in Baltimore.  So like last time, make sure check this for foreign objects,  traces of bodily fluids, or methamphetamines before drinking it.  I found it quite enjoyable and even had the whiskey hangover that I experience occasion when drinking this sort of thing. Guinness Open Gate Imperial Stout (aged in bourbon barrels):  4.1/5
