And now here
we are again, at a shimmering historic moment where we cannot help but
note the delicious irony, the divine karmic genius of it all. The 4th of
July and the slaves in Genoa City are forced to be at the beck and call of
their masters while the slave owners enjoy the holiday by spewing hatred
at their enemies.
Ain't life in Genoa City grand?
Miguel Rodriguez, always the faithful servant, was performing his duties
Friday at the Newman ranch hauling trays loaded with red meat to be burnt
to a crisp on the grill and baby-sitting the smart-mouthed Newman brat,
Cassie. Although the little snot was simmering with hatred toward her
mother and dying to get away from the ranch for just a day, Cassie did not
go into town with her half-brother and grandpa to watch the parade.
For Rodriguez it was just another day watching from afar as the likes of
Nikki Newman slapped the tragically shameless Sharon Newman right across
her butt with a leather whip for stunning a good Christian like Nikki into
disbelief and abject terror by wearing "The World's Smallest Bikini."
Sharon's mother, BoreUs Collins couldn't attend the gala but it was said
she might roll her ass out to the ranch after attending the church picnic
if the slave could be spared long enough to make the one-hour drive each
way into town to fetch her.
And no pool party at the ranch would be complete without someone totally
unexpected dropping by. Fortunately this year the Newman's didn't have to
haul total strangers in off the street. They had Jitter Joint manager Cody
Dixon, hot for just one-minute with Victoria Newman between his legs, stop
by to ask about the troubled Newman marriage and say how he so hopes Nick
and Sharon Newman can forget that she shoved her tongue down grandpa
Newman's throat.
Perhaps most shocking of all this day was that Chancellor mausoleum slave
Ether Valentine - apparently as a way to get back at her employer for
having to spend the holiday sitting with an invalid - dressed stroke
victim Katherine Sterling up in some godforsaken outfit donated by Lauren
Fenmore and then tied a balloon shaped in the form of a star with an
American flag emblazoned on it to the poor woman's wheelchair!
While no vehicles were seen in the parking lot undoubtedly these too would
have flags stuck to the antennas and roof racks and nice little flag
decals stuck all over the windows. For once in recent memory Jill Abbott
had the good sense to tell Valentine to stop treating Mrs. Sterling like
some patriotic circus act similar to Larry 'Wartman' Warton who showed up
dressed as Uncle Sam.
Amidst insane deficits and more tax cuts for the rich and 150,000 U.S.
troops still stuck in Iraq, amidst a warmongering ethic, there were those
in Genoa City taking the joyous and the celebratory where they could find
it never missing an opportunity to lash out.
At the RoadKill Cafe, Phyllis Abbott hurled hate balls at Dru Winters and
vice-versa while Victor Newman introduced a terrorist-looking dude, his
wife and kid, to Jack Abbott noting that the man - dressed in traditional
garb - would be teaching this Summer at Genoa City University, a school
nobody in this town attends anymore and especially during Summer and
certainly not classes where Middle Eastern countries are part of the
syllabus.
The professor from war-torn poor Jordan did hint that it's a good thing
he's in Wisconsin and not Texas where Muslin looking people are kidnapped
and tortured just for looking foreign and don't have shotguns in the rear
windows of their pickup trucks. Still, the professor said his family
intends to stay alert.
Like so many other Fourth of July's before it, this one ended with
RoadKill Cafe owner Gina Roma singing what Victor Newman said was his
favorite tune. America the Beautiful!
Glasses shattered and windows cracked as Roma wailed and patrons gorging
themselves on crispy fried rat carcass joined in. The crowned thy good
with brotherhood while the could because tomorrow it would be back to
full-scale hatred of thy fellow man.
