"America the Exceptional" Awards Night

• unz.com

When I was growing up in New Jersey there were a lot of colorful expressions that one managed to pick up. The flyover America public can get a glimpse of what that means by listening to Chris Christie speak, though he offers only a mild version of the local vernacular as he is simultaneously trying to sound cultured. Far better to watch a few episodes of The Sopranos. One of my favorite expressions was to describe a totally inept and clueless individual as "Someone who couldn't find his buttocks with both hands" though I must admit that I am being polite and the Jersey original is somewhat saltier than that.

In any event there were a couple of outstanding performances during the past week that fully merit consideration for this month's find your buttocks award. Last month's prize went to former General David Petraeus who suggested that the United States might want to team up with al-Qaeda against ISIS, setting the bar for future competitors extremely high. Carly Fiorina came in second by stridently insisting that the United States desperately needs 300 "battleships."
