One of the great scenes of Animal House features these lines:
Otter: I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part!
Bluto: We’re just the guys to do it.
Those characters, of course, were making fun of stupidity. November 8, in Boston and Philly, thousands of progressives will embrace and personify it, as PJ Media reports:
Progressives have taken their Trump derangement syndrome to a whole new level…
Thousands of anguished libs in Boston and Philadelphia will be taking part in scream fests on Nov. 8 to commemorate the anniversary of Donald Trump’s election. Liberals in other cities around the country are likely to step up to the crazy plate as well as the big day draws near.
Over 4,000 Facebook users in the Boston area have RSVP’d to attend the event they’re calling ‘Scream helplessly at the sky on the anniversary of the election.’ Another 33,000 have expressed interest in attending the event at the 383-year-old Boston Common.
The organizers say in a Facebook post: ‘Come express your anger at the current state of democracy, and scream helplessly at the sky!”
Well sure! How better to distinguish oneself from normal, sane Americans who recognize and accept our republican form of government, including honoring the results of honest elections? Nothing quite says “I’m a deranged communist” like this sort of gesture.
This administration has attacked everything about what it means to be American,’ Johanna Schulman, an activist and one of the organizers of the event, told Newsweek. ‘Who wouldn’t feel helpless every day? Coming together reminds us that we are not alone, that we are part of an enormous community of activists who are motivated and angry, whose actions can make a difference.
Who wouldn’t feel helpless every day? Perhaps Americans enjoying the beginnings of the restoration of the rule of law?
While the event calls upon people to Scream Helplessly, we want to convert that sense of helplessness into resistance, into action, and maybe even into optimism,’ Schulman told Newsweek. ‘Although it is important to acknowledge the tragedy that befell our country on November 9th, we cannot let it defeat us!
Uh, there aren’t words… OK, so maybe there are. Perhaps the event should be better labeled “barking at the moon.”

The film footage of the Scream-In will look great in Trump’s re-election campaign ads in 2020.
Adding to the festivities, the full moon occurs on the 4th.
Antifa is supposed to wipe us all out on the 4th.. At that point what difference will it make?
Even a man who is pure in heart
And says his prayers by night
May become a “progressive” when the wolfs bane blooms
And the autumn moon is bright
’54 red Corvette!! I have a friend who owns (restored it himself) one. First thing I did was comprise a music CD of perfect songs – including “Route 66” theme by Nelson Riddle & Orchestra.
I’m sure God will be listening to the ‘Screamers’. Or, maybe not.
Sorry, It’s a 1960 Vette, not a “54.
Yep, I’m getting senile.
Dear gimwriter:
I’m too senile to realize I’m getting senile, so I struggle onward.
Is there enough time to organize a group to stand across the street, pointing and laughing hysterically?
Dear Dave:
I always miss all the fun because I don’t live in places where people think that a worthy thing to do.
Investment tip…whoever makes straight jackets…buy all the stock you can.
Dear Bryce:
That, and appropriate firearms and ammo.
Ah, but for a flock of Pelicans – they have no real sphincter control and carry a much larger payload then seagulls. . .
