Three Depressing Baseball Caps

Here are three depressing baseball caps.

The first one is of Kirk Cameron’s birthday party, which features Subway sandwiches — one already half-eaten by someone who, later that day, would receive a sobering diagnosis — and a shit cake. Looking on in mounting desolation are two female sales professionals and the lives and paneled office in which they are encased.

And this is a cap featuring the motorcar that euthanized Camus.

And here the hell is Larry the Cable Guy speaking at some presumable length, like Cicero before his tongue was tugged out and served as an antipasto, about the U.S. economy.

There exists a world in which entire television networks are devoted to the movement of currencies. There also exists a world in which at least one of these networks has invited Larry the Cable Guy to instruct the wrathful-upon-sofas as to what is wrong with what is wrong, insofar as quantitative easing and Keynesian multipliers are concerned.

Both worlds are ours. Hump us in the faces one and all, both worlds are ours.

To be fair, Larry the Cable Guy explains the vagaries of Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom as well as Hayek did himself.

That said, I find nothing more depressing than the current fashion trend of vaguely douchey faux hipsters rocking Montreal Expos caps from ca. 1981. Depressing people mindlessly wearing totems of a dead baseball team that I once watched with an outsider’s aplomb make me feel all stabby. Is this what you meant to evoke, Dayn? Because that’s what I feel. Bloodlust.
