Not Me!

In the past, I talked about hanging out with Dali, Bellamy, and Van Gogh—artists that I genuinely admire. I actually ran into Dali once in downtown New York City. He told me to watch where I was going—words of wisdom from the Maestro! I do not remember if he twirled his mustache or not.

There are other people who I, indeed, would prefer not to be seen in the company of. Most of today’s political luminaries are at the top of the list. Sheesh! I have to maintain some standards, after all. 

I do not want to be seen in close proximity to “the Donald.” After all, he’s merely from Queen’s, and I am from Washington Heights, Manhatten, in New York City. Remember RHIP (rank hath its privileges). As a former Pius Itinerant, folksinger, applied anthropologist, and consortor with the hoipoloi, I have standards to maintain.

Now for today’s lesson in politics. Always remember what Herman Melville said: When in doubt, it is better: “to sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian.”

Now, go ye forth and sin no more!
