The Penguins are playing tonight I have a belly full of high-quality whiskey, a fine cigar between my fingers, and a pleasant buzz dulling my constant anxiety. The announcers play-by-play, constant and frantic, blares through my 70-inch television adding artificial drama, but I like it. I'm surrounded by my precarious middle class wealth while thousands of slaves suffer and die in Lybia. But I’m drunk, oblivious, and happy that my team just scored

Whiskey, Hockey, and Slaves
The Penguins are playing tonight I have a belly full of high-quality whiskey, a fine cigar between my fingers, and a pleasant buzz dulling my constant anxiety. The announcers play-by-play, constant and frantic, blares through my 70-inch television adding artificial drama, but I like it. I'm surrounded by my precarious middle class wealth while thousands of slaves suffer and die in Lybia. But I’m drunk, oblivious, and happy that my team just scored
