LOS ANGELES, December 31, 2012—In New York, 2013 begins with the dropping of the ball. In a small North Carolina town, the dropping of the possum is the ritual. Yet nothing says New Years Eve like a rap star and an unknown politico.
The rapper is long-haired, gold-toothed entrepreneur and Celebrity Apprentice semi-finalist Lil John. Dave Chapelle lampooned him as the guy who only says “what” and “ok.” Yet Lil John also brought the world one of the greatest party songs, “Shots.” A celebration of alcohol and fun, plenty of shots will be consumed as 2012 ticks down.
Yet while this celebrity is established, the Lieutenant Governor of Hawaii is just beginning the next phase of his political career. With the passing of Senator Daniel Inouye, Governor Neil Abercrombie is sending his second in command to Washington as the next Senator from Hawaii. He has just been sworn in, and his term begins with the new year. His name is Brian Schatz, although his last name is pronounced “shots.”
The U.S. Senate has long been about partying, alcohol, and law-breaking inbetween occasional bouts of governing. Therefore, the upper chamber of Congress should welcome him as the newest celebrity. Let Lil John do the swearing-in ceremony as the Republican Party and the Democratic Party continue to spend like drunken sailors at a never-ending New Years Party.
Happy New Year Schatzie! Welcome to Congress!
“When I arrive on the Hill, all eyes on me.
In the Democratic party, all drinks are free.
We’re drunken spenders, we’re so far gone.
It’s fiscal cliff time, so jump on down!
Schatz, Schatz, Schatz, Schatz Schatz,
Schatz, Schatz, Schatz, Schatz Schatz,
Schatz, Schatz, Schatz, Schatz Schatz,
Schatz, everybody!
Schatz, Schatz, Schatz, Schatz Schatz,
Schatz, Schatz, Schatz, Schatz Schatz,
Schatz, Schatz, Schatz, Schatz Schatz,
Schatz, everybody!
The ladies love us, when we give free stuff
From contraception, to other needless fluff
We’re drunk on power, how ‘bout you?
Bottoms up, let’s go round two
Schatz, Schatz, Schatz, Schatz Schatz,
Schatz, Schatz, Schatz, Schatz Schatz,
Schatz, Schatz, Schatz, Schatz Schatz,
Schatz, everybody!
Schatz, Schatz, Schatz, Schatz Schatz,
Schatz, Schatz, Schatz, Schatz Schatz,
Schatz, Schatz, Schatz, Schatz Schatz,
Schatz, everybody!
If you ain’t drunk on power, get out of Congress
If you ain’t drunk on power, get out of the White House
If you ain’t cliff diving, get out of government
Now where are my spendaholics? Printing presses go!
Schatz, Schatz, Schatz, Schatz Schatz,
Schatz, everybody!”
To all of you worried about the fiscal cliff about to explode on January 1st of 2013, fear not. End of Days was pushed back on the Mayan Calendar from December 21st to December 31st of 2012. New Years will not hurt one bit.
Welcome aboard Senator Schatz! Greece, California, and Detroit are only a few trillion wasted dollars away!
(Congressman, please put your pants on. Put down the intern and the ukelele and remove the lampshade. Sir, no more Jello shots tonight. Sir, please don’t text that to Facebook or Twitter.)
Let’s party! What??????
Happy 2013! Ok!!!!!!!!
