Short people got no reason Short people got no reason Short people got no reason To live
They got little hands And little eyes And they walk around Tellin' great big lies They got little noses And tiny little teeth They wear platform shoes On their nasty little feetWhen Newman wrote that, he was obviously teasing and joking around with short people. I consider myself fortunate, I can remember good natured ribbing and satire. Today, I’m willing to bet that there would be protests and some liberal head cases would be trying to get the song banned. However, as you know, those same rules don’t apply to liberals. While Randy Newman was joking and having fun, on Sunday, the New York Times posted an opinion piece by Mara Altman titled “There’s Never Been A Better Time To Be Short.” (NY Times, Jan. 1, 2023) The gist of the article is based on a study which was done by another leftist lunatic, Thomas Samaras. Samaras fancies himself to be “The Godfather of Shrink Think.” In the article Altman openly writes that “mating with short people is a step toward a greener planet.” She also states that shorter individuals are “inherent Conservationists.” Now, if some of you are smirking, (as I am), take a moment to consider this. The reason we can smirk is that we can see the absurdity in this reasoning.

“Short people don’t just save resources, but as resources become scarcer because of the earth’s growing population and “global warming” they may also be best suited for long term survival and not just because more of us will be able to jam into spaceships when we are forced off this planet we wrecked.”As if Samaras and Altman’s philosophies weren’t bad enough, Altman felt the need to drag in the third stooge. Arne Hendricks is an artist and lecturer who uses his exhibitions and performances to “encourage people to embrace fewer inches.” “The future I envision is different. I want my children’s children to know the value of short. I want them to call themselves short drinks of water with legs for minutes. While one yells, “I’m the shortest,” I hope the other will bend his knees to gain an advantage shouting, “No, I’m the shortest.” Hendriks, who is approximately 6 feet 4 inches, does not allow his children any dairy and limits their sugar intake in order to keep them from getting tall. What a tragic tale. A 6-foot 4-inch man that feels he was “shorted” by not being shorter. You Can’t Make It Up.
