This load of bullshit (Rich Men North of Richmond) certainly qualifies as stupid.
In another era, I would have read a title like that and assumed it was a left-wing redneck rebel anthem possibly based on a Woody Guthrie song about how the wealthy in both parties are keeping the working man down.
Instead we get whatever the hell this is;
The only way I can parse this is if it’s supposed to be an Epstein reference, and that’s just tasteless and bad writing.
Miner works in a mine.
Minor doesn’t…well maybe.
You are aware, right, that he legally changed his name Arthur? His parents named him Adenoid Adolf. He did it in the '20s, because he did not like the name.
Politicians do try to look after miners. Well, Democrats do, anyway. But every time we try, they hate us for it.
? Am I whooshed? I assumed that Love_Rhombus’s joke about Harpo Marx* having “probably” written Mein Kampf, due to his “way with words”, related not to the fact that his given name was originally Adolf but that his character in the Marx Brothers movies never spoke.
Make that three hard-boiled eggs.
* (Or as our buddy Exapno has elsewhere pointed out, “ХАРПО МАРКС” in the Cyrillic alphabet.)
I’m sure the message would be lost on Boebert.
That was certainly my intention, but upon a bit of research I see that @eschereal is correct.
Partial lyrics from the 1964 Anthony Newley musical “The Roar of the Greasepaint – the Smell of the Crowd.” Sung by Cyril Ritchard.
…
There are so many things I remember
From those deeply revered days of old
When living was gentle and gracious
And workingfolk did as they’re told.They were wonderful days, I remember,
When a fella could live like a king;
And children were working in coal mines
And life was a beautiful thing.
…
I wrote a couple of new verses for them.
When the rich elites give me food for free that’s fine
But they shouldn’t feed the lazy folks with skin darker than mine
Because when everyone in need gets them some food for free
That’s food that could be given to me me me me me
And the only one to save us from these rich elites so shitty
Is the real estate billionaire that owns their biggest city.
And if you are still wondering why THIS rich elite is fine
It’s because his last name doesn’t end with berg or stein
Send it in to him and then wait at the mail box for your royalty checks to arrive. You’ve got no problem with selling out your principals for a quick buck, right?

It’s because his last name doesn’t end with berg or stein
Woah my last name contains both!, note to self: avoid red state America.

It’s because his last name doesn’t end with berg or stein
Well now I want to swear allegiance to someone named Bergorstein.

Woah my last name contains both!
O’Bergstein?
David the (one time?) comedian would like a word with you guys.
That picture hurts my heart. I know that these kids are long dead, but they should never have had to live like that.

Woah my last name contains both!, note to self: avoid red state America.
Ironically, “Steinberg” literally means “Stone Mountain.”
It’s actually, as my father said to the nurse in the air force hospital where my grandfather was being treated: “Bravo Eco Romeo Golf Sierra Tango Eco Indiana November”. (The nurse had asked him to spell our surname, spanish speakers have real trouble with any word who has more than 2 consecutive consonants so we are used to it. She didn’t understand him when he spelled like that, prompting him to fake indignation that they did not understand the aeronautical alphabet in the air force hospital.}
My dad was like that sometimes).
So it’s actually Mountain Stone and not Stone Mountain thankfully
