“How Dry I Am” is a song written by Irving Berlin in 1919, Originally titled “The Near Future” lamenting the impending enactment of the 18th Amendment to the constitution (Yes, there were others beside the 2nd Amendment that the gun nuts shout about daily) ushering in Prohibition which lasted from January 17, 1920 – December 5, 1933. But the country was hardly dry. Between Al Capone, Don Corleone and Hyman Roth there was plenty of illegal booze to go around.
For me “How Dry I Am” refers to my lack of ideas for this inane Daily Inflammation thing. I am trying to stay out of the political argument because none of it makes any sense and I am unable to wrap my mind around how anyone can support a low-life scum like #45 in his bid to be re-elected.
Did I just slip and get political? Shame on ME as well as anyone who supports him.
I’ll try to do better tomorrow!
