The Quartermaster’s Song

Thanks for posting the lyrics.
Our boys sang that often at scout camp with varying verses, but it seems to me that things like “ice cream” figured more prominently than in the original.
(Yes, we did have a freezer full in the commissary; it was very popular in the afternoons, and an excellent fund-raiser.)

So this is based in a certain type of reality. Fascinating. All we need to do with Old Joe is send him back in time. Calling HG Wells!

As someone in his eighties, I agree with Cicero. I am thankful I will not be around to see the erection of Gramsci statues everywhere there used to those of Frederick Douglas, Columbus, Washington, Grant. Perhaps even MLK?

Used to sing The Quartermaster’s Store song frequently when I was a wee (Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!) lad in England.

They’ve been going to Harris and saying, “Kamala, we may need to up the timetable for putting you on top of the ticket. It may need to come before the election.”

That’s why she said “Harris Administration” recently. Open secret.

But, they don’t want Kamala to debate Trump because he might be able to make her look as unlikable as she actually is. They’re hoping they can sneak her past one debate with Mike Pence because, after all, he’s a gentleman and won’t go out of his way to make her fall apart.

So they’ll keep Biden in the race until the threat to Harris has been minimized, then swap Harris in to win the election.

It’s the biggest rope-a-dope move in the history of American politics: Make your opponent tire himself out attacking the wrong target, then yank that target out of the race, making his attacks suddenly irrelevant to the race.

There is nothing that delights a leftist more than the cries of their political opponents saying, “Hey, that’s not fair!”

By the way, I do hope the Trump team is thinking about this possibility. It could work. Perhaps the reason that Biden’s doing so little campaigning is that, when the Harris swap happens, they’ll deluge the airwaves with advertising for how she’ll deliver a brighter future, and they want Biden to be forgettable enough that nobody disappointedly clings to him after the switch.

In fact, perhaps Trump should be openly campaigning against Harris and largely ignoring Biden. That would powerfully make the point that Biden’s already past the threshold of incompetence. Calling it out might anger Biden to the point of further incoherence. And it would allow Trump to focus on defining Harris before she can define herself.

I watched most of that round table discussion on veterans’ benefits via a facebook live stream from a local Florida news station and I stuck with it through Slow Joe’s ramblings and digressions (he is intensely boring, and full of it) because I was so enjoying the live comments of other watchers here in our purple state. “Can you believe this? it’s painful to watch!” we were saying to each other, with many pointed comments and opportunities to verbally joust with the (outnumbered) Biden supporters. Every one of the six people in the roundtable stuck to their written questions, and Biden had notes with answers to those prepared questions. Biden’s mask sometimes slipped below his nose and he kept messing with it and pulling it back up. “Touch your mask again, Joe!” Even with notes, a few times he couldn’t find the answer and he promised he would check with his staff and get back to them later. “He doesn’t know his own position!” The whole focus of the event was on programs for helping veterans (“Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what Joe Biden can do for you!”), but with nothing new and specific proposed, and with no time spent on the potentially most helpful things for future veterans… having a Commander in Chief who won’t send them to stupid wars we don’t intend to win. In Biden’s wrap up speech, which seemed to be read off a teleprompter, he plagiarized Reagan again with his lines about America being about one word, “possibilities.” (https://spectator.org/reagan-speechwriter-biden-just-plagiarized-from-reagan/) He also referenced the losers/ suckers hoax, though it has been well debunked now… but at least it gave us hecklers a chance to educate the commenters who still believed it. Biden is clearly awful but I fear many will vote for him because they think Trump is worse, thanks to the power and bias of the mainstream media and Big Tech. But maybe there will be a few minds changed if more people watch him in action, unfiltered through the narrative. I was most interested in the reactions of a few young people who stumbled onto the live stream and were clearly shocked at how out of it and unpresidential Biden was. “He sounds like he belongs in a nursing home.”

The Quartermaster’s Song
There are snakes, snakes, snakes
Big as garden rakes,
At the store! At the store!
There are snakes, snakes, snakes,
Big as garden rakes, at the Quartermaster’s store.

Chorus
My eyes are dim I can-not see.
I have not got my specs with me.
I have HEY! Not HO! got my specs with me.

There are mice, mice, mice
Running though the rice,
At the store! At the store!
There are mice, mice, mice,
Running through the rice, at the Quartermaster’s store.

Chorus
Continue with each of the following:
3. lice – living on the mice.
4. rats – big as alley cats.
5. roaches – big as football coaches
6. watches – big as sasquaches
7. snakes – big as garden rakes
8. bears – but no one really cares
9. beavers – with little meat cleavers
10. foxes – stuffed in little boxes

Trump should offer to debate Harris “since she is the real leader of the Democrat ticket.” If Biden acquiesces, he is exposed as weak and not up to the job. If Biden disagrees and debates, he will perform poorly. Trump wins either way.
