McCarty Party 2016: Make America Drunk Again

Some people get up in the morning, listen to the news, and then think about what our country should do for them. Last summer, the Brothers McCarty decided to figure out what we could do for our country. And (after two Man Councils, an independent study, and a fair amount of adult beverages), the answer was obvious… we could make America drunk again. Okay, that admittedly plays to both our strengths and our experience… but that didn’t make us wrong!

We quickly realized that (without Federal funding) we couldn’t make ALL of America drunk again. But, with the purchase of a couple of flags and a considerable amount of beer, we could certainly provide an example of how it could be done. We should have stopped there. But, as those of you who know Dale are well aware, flags and beer were not going to cut it. Because if he decides to do something, he is definitely going to “over do” it. And so last year, for the first time since glory days when the party was still at the farm, we presided over McCarty Party from an actual stage. Not that we had one… we had to build that (or to be more precise, we had to over-build that).

As for the party itself… we had outrageously hot humid weather, again. We had golfers return from the golf outing barely able to speak a coherent sentence, again. We had body painting for the ladies, again. We had cousin Dani go two-for-two in the events she entered, again. We had rural scenes and magazines, and we had truckers on CB (hello Billy!). We had Katy Perry on the video. We had time to hit on the girls we liked, if we didn’t stop to think. But the only time that seemed too short, was the time we had to drink. So next year… stay, just a little bit longer.
