Sgrena: “Wait, who won?”
Fellow traveller: “A horse called ‘Democracy in the Middle East,’ if you can believe it. Went off at twelve-to-one.”
Sgrena: “Wow. Good thing I’m a Communist, eh? Otherwise I might take that as a sign from Providence.”
Fellow traveller: “Yeah. Thank God for dialectical materialism, is what I always say.”*
Dialectical Materialism, that is.
Keyword, “meaning”
Sure.
Sgrena: Lucky that this is only the Kentucky Derby.. We still have a good chance that “ Democracy in the Middle East “ could break his leg at The Preakness or Belmont Stakes.. Wouldnt that be a Godsend …?
Isn’t Desperate Reprisal 3 to 2 at the Preakness? But he’ll be worthless and spent by the time Belmont rolls around.
Fellow traveller is confused. Dialectical materialism does not allow for God.
Well, I can’t speak for Fellow traveller, but from my perspective I’m inclined to say that that particular revelation is the punchline.
”dialectical materialism”.. You mean thats a real thing ? I thought that was just some hoseshit that Dennis Hopper made up for his role as the Photojournalist in Apocalypse Now …

Dialectical materialism is a flavor of ice cream. You ask the vendor what it tastes like. He asks you what you want it t taste like. You tell him, and he cries, “What a coincidence!” And he sells it to you.
By the time you realize the ice cream tastes like manureberry freeze, he’s already long gone, selling it to some other gullible sucker.
And if you’re a good little fellow traveler, you’ll just tell yourself manureberry freeze always was your favorite flavor anyway.
I put some dialectical grease on the battery terminals of my truck – I got it at Kragen. The grease or the Truck? I bought that special Truck-Oil with a picture of a Truck on the label too.
The difference between dialectical grease and lithium grease is that the dialectical stuff makes you even MORE bipolar if you lick it off your fingers.
Meanwhile, it is interesting how many anti-semite pieces of shit show up on my pet jawa posting on the Sgrena incident.
Robin, I see what you mean. Nasty little buggers aren’t they. Of course, anti-semitism is practically a competitive sport among the Eurotrashy.
