Admin V's Bitin' List
Tyler Childers Bitin' List is Admin V's Song of the Summer
Admin V here. You should know that I like a wide variety of music. If you look at my playlist, you will find that it contains everything from classical jazz to 90s gangster rap to showtunes and back again.
I grew up on Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Dolly Parton, and Loretta Lynn among others. I, as a cornbread hick from the swamps of South Carolina, love a good twangy country singer with progressive political leanings because until relatively recently that was a reasonably easy thing to find. I blame Osama Bin Laden and Toby Keith.
Truthfully, I didn’t really complete my journey to someone who is progressive until 2008. But now that I am, I side-eye a lot of the new country singers. But in the last few years, I have discovered a good looking Appalachian blond boy named Tyler Childers.
A few years ago, he did a gay love story music video about two Appalachian coal miners who lived happily together until one of them died of black lung. It was practically a short film that said love is love and the corporate oligarchs don’t give a shit about the poor man. Unlike most country singers, he is very clear about where he stands and it isn’t on the side of the corporations. I adore him.
He’s come out with a new album and you should give it a listen. I’ve been looking for a song of the summer and he gave it to me. Bitin’ List.
Here are some of the lyrics.
To put it plain, I just don't like you
Not a thing about the way you is
And if there ever come a time I got rabies
You're high on my bitin' list
This has prompted the denizens of Tik Tok to create their own bitin’ lists and now I’m going to share mine here. This is an incomplete list. I could go longer. I thought about including an honorable mention, but I chose not to.
Lindsey Graham - This man is my senator. I’ve been to town halls where he spoke and that devolved into all of the people there yelling at him. He didn’t learn and kept on with his Trumpian loyalty
Joe “You Lie” Wilson - He is an embarrassment. That is all.
Foghorn Leghorn (Aka Henry McMaster- The governor of South Carolina. He became governor in 2016 when Trump gave Nikki Haley a position so that his big supporter Henry could move from Lt Governor to “govenah”
My childhood bully Mark - I wouldn’t pee on him if he was on fire.
Karoline Leavitt - I hate her cross necklace with a passion and wonder how she dares to lie so much while wearing it. Doesn’t she fear being smited? I would fear being smited if I dared to lie so much while wearing a cross.
RFK Jr - He wouldn’t get vaccinated or take the meds after I bit him. I would like to see if he sticks to his principles when death is on the line.
Matt Gaetz and Tim Cruz have the most punchable faces in politics. If I can’t punch them, I’ll chomp ‘em
Stephen Miller aka Temu Goebels - Again, I don’t understand how anyone could be that hateful.
Mike Johnson - Look he took away healthcare from old people on Medicaid and children without blinking a mother fucking eye. And claims he fears God. I don’t even believe in heaven or hell and I hope he faces judgement from his God one day.
The Tangerine Tyrant. Captain Cankes, himself. I’m going to be honest, I would probably give him a good scrub before I bit him. I don’t want to get cancer from the self tanner and makeup he wears.
Tell me who is on your bitin’ list.
