Know Our Enemy, Learn Their Tricks

Um, speaking of tricks, Daddy-O, this poster is from the mid-Fifties during the Joseph McCarthy witch hunts for Communists.

Learn the shocking facts ... or catch up as best you can with the lunatics who use a sixty-year-old witch burning as campaign material.  Maybe they missed it that Communism died about the time that rummy, Yeltsin, passed out in the soup at more state dinners than George Bush (e.g. Japan).


There's a story behind this one as Chordslinger and Cadillac Man became intrigued with finding antique bottles.  My only interest in a bottle was whether there are any contents inside it but they found treasures in their digs.

Chordslinger really did turn them into treasures as he discovered a demand for things others dismiss as junk.  He resolved to get a whole stockpile of barely collectible junk but there's an actual market for Jesus plates, black velvet paintings, and Burn the Commies posters.  He was making a tidy living out of selling things others dismissed as junk or wholesaled out just to get rid of it and write it off.

There's more to the story with ups and downs but that was the general flow and he thoroughly enjoyed doing it.  Now he's pushing hard with slinging his chords and doing quite well with that, thank you very much.  It's cool as Fate robbed him of his big New York City gig but he's rolling again and don't even think about telling Casey Jones he better slow down.

Note:  only the lyrics implicate coke as the real Chordslinger is as sober as JudgeWapner
