Songs Appropriate For/Suggested By the Second Trump Administration (An Occasional Series): Special "Glug Glug Glug" Edition

The Replacements' classic ode to "Beer for Breakfast."

Which is perhaps less amusing than it used to be (during the Reagan years, when it was originally recorded -- i.e., a period I then thought represented the lowest ebb of the American Experiment in democracy).

But then again, most things lately are less amusing than they used to be. Which only proves that I was an optimist in 1987. 😎

In any case, I should add that I am not endorsing the song's sentiments as a lifestyle choice.

More upbeat posting resumes on the morrow.

  1. I'm sure Trump 2.0 is going to lead a lot of people to self-medicate, one way or another.

    ...Do you want my autograph ?
    I'm a loser, what a joker
    I'm playing my jokes upon you
    Hey there's nothing better to do.

  3. The late, great Jim Dickinson already recorded Donald Trump's theme song. Now it's about everyone in his administration, too.
