Black Eyed Appeasers

A couple of weeks ago the pResident stood in front of the Knesset (Israel’s parliament) and invoked the name of Adolph Hitler and visions of the Holocaust. He was comparing people who talk to the bad guys with British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain by calling them “appeasers.” Well…looky what we have here…a nuke deal with North Korea. You remember North Korea, don’t you? Charter member of the Axis of Evil. BSC President who was spouting crap about starting WWIII. Well, we went right ahead and appeased them. SHEESH!

We don’t get this…when the ‘Bamer says he’ll talk to Iranian, North Korean and Cuban leaders, he’s called naive. He’s called an appeaser. He’s called a pantywaste. But when Bush-Wipe and his ilk talk to the bad guys, then cut a deal with ‘em…they call that diplomacy. We call it by another name. Hypocrisy.

Wizzed

Dan Wetzel, writing for Yahoo Sports had this to say about the Wiz drafting former Wolf Pack hoopster JVMcG:

LOSER
WASHINGTON

The Wizards can’t get out of the first round of the playoffs and it’s not easy to see how this draft changes that trend. They took JaVale McGee out of Nevada to help inside, but he looks like one of those classic draft mistakes.
McGee is 7-feet tall with a 7-foot-6 wingspan. Against moderate competition in the Western Athletic Conference, he averaged just 7.8 rebounds a game. It’s counterintuitive to think a big man who can’t rebound against smaller opponents in college will start doing it against bigger players in the NBA. This rarely works.

YIKES! We said when he left school it was gonna be a mistake. No one listened. If you can't lead your team to a championship in the sorry-assed WAC Conference, you'll never do it in the big show. Now JVMcG is getting hammered in the national press. He’s gonna spend the next two years picking splinters out of his pooter rather than learning how to play the game under coach Mark Fox. Yo JVMcG…Good luck and be careful in the Cap. Remember how the team used to be called the Bullets? Well, the fans are all packin’ heat now!

Out of Gun-trol

Today the SCOTUS made an historic (obvious?) decision....you're allowed to own a gun.

YEEHAWWW!!!

We celebrate with Haiku:

Janie's got a gun

for self-defense or hunting.

Let the bullets fly.

Payback is a bitch.

Pops a cap in her hubby

then on to Bambi.

Guns equal safety?

Don't come near us with those things.

A Bad Day to Give Up Smoking

Man, there’s so much smoke in the air here in the 775 it looks like a Grateful Dead concert and smells like wet dog. UGH!. But it’s all Cali’s fault.

Ya see, the G-Man is punishing Cali with fire and brimstone ‘cause they let Mr. Sulu walk down the aisle with his man. So, the Golden State is smoldering like a marshmallow in a campfire and we here in the 775 get all the residual crap. Great. WTF did we do to derserve this? Oh yeah. All that drinkin', gamblin' and whorin' stuff.


No worries though. We’ll get back in the good graces of the Invisible man in the Sky soon enough. Ya see, we know that Jzeus’s papa loves him the tighty-righties. That means as soon as President McSame takes office, we’ll be off the hook.



But we’re gonna put a positive spin on things. We’re gonna head out to the park for a little jog. That way we can close our eyes, take a deep breath and pretend we’re Olympic athletes competing in Beijing.

Frighteners

It’s funny how conservative minds work. Yesterday Charlie Black, Skeevy Uncle Fester’s senior advisor, said that another terrorist attack on the United States would help the republican party and, in particular, Senator McSame’s presidential campaign. He couldn’t be farther from the truth.




If another attack does happen, we’re gonna have to ask (then answer) us some questions:


Who’s been in the White House for the past seven years? Republicans.

Who’s been in charge of Congress twelve out of the last fourteen years? Republicans.

Who claims to be the party of national security? Republicans.




And that brings us to the crux of our biscuit:





The politics of fear is nothing new. But since 9/11 the conservative fear-mongering has worked well on the American public. Not. Anymore.


No, if another terrorist attack happens Mr. Black it will not help you because it will have been caused by you. Every time a civilian dies at the hands of Blackwater, you create a hundred more terrorists. For every human being denied habeas corpus and thrown into Gitmo indefinitely, you create a hundred more terrorists.




And from your friends’ war profiteering to the pointless waste of America’s treasure and soldier’s lives…you Mr. Black, you and your ilk will have done more to harm to the reputation, the psyche and the future of America than any terrorist could ever do.

Pump & Go

Boy howdy...this is why we love livin' in the 775. 'Round these parts there's a lot of empty space. Heck, here in the NV, we measure driving distances in hours not miles. Now, it's turnin' out that the jacked-up price of petrol is not only keeping people closer to home, it's also killing business in our beloved "dens of iniquity." Hard to pay good scratch for a dip in the patch when it costs more to drive there than getting the actual deed.

So, to keep business movin' along, the Shady Lady is offering...you guessed it...gas cards with every piece of 'tang! AWESOME! This is the kind of business acumen and can-do attitude that makes Silver Staters the baddest motherhubbards on the planet.

We haiku in awe...

Jail Broke

Yeah, yeah…we know money is tight, but this state budget crisis is BSC. Have you heard the latest great idea to come out of Carson City? They wanna close down several prisons to save money. WTF is up with that? Whatever happened to Nevada’s overcrowded prison population? Are they gonna let a bunch of crazy motherhubbards out on the streets to save a few bucks?

State prisons chief Howard Skolnik says that inmates could be absorbed at other prisons. Hmmm. That’ll surely solve the problem Howie! Question: Why build a new prison down in the 702 (projected completion date 2010) instead of keeping the ones here in the 775 open?

Funny, when the Government-Cheese runs out of money they immediately start cutting back on stuff like education, public safety and help for the poor. Here’s a solution GJG: Why don’t we cut the position of Governor to save money? It’s not like the one we have now is worth anything. Heck, we could even rent out the Governor’s mansion for birthday parties, bar mitzvahs and weddings so we can put a few more dead presidents in state coffers. Whadda ya think?

Red Dawn

Becky Hammon is your typical gym rat. From her youth in North Dakota through her playing days at Colorado State and on to the WNBA…Hammon has been a hardcore baller. She’s pretty good too. Last year (her fifth in the WNBA) Hammon finished second in voting for the league’s MVP. That’s some pretty sweet cred.



When the powers that be invited players to try out for the U.S. Olympic team, Big Shot Becky’s name wasn’t on the list. No problem there. Ya see, Hammon plays professionally in both Russia and the Good Ole USofA. So, Big Red stepped in and offered Hammon a spot on their Olympic team. She accepted. Now it’s become some kind of political shit-storm. Hammon is being called un-patriotic and even worse…a traitor. Wrong.



The United States Olympic team has been using foreign talent forever. What, you think those brown-skinded brothers on our long distance teams with names like Mohammed, Kahlil and Mbute are natural born citizens? Nope. They get a fast track to citizenship by the USOC and just like that, they’re U.S. Olympians.



Hammon has dual Russian-U.S. citizenship. Her country didn’t want her and just like any other red, white and blue-blooded American…she went where the opportunity was. Mother Russia. Traitor? No. Baller? Hell yeah!



We crux our biscuit in haiku:


Is she a traitor
for playing with the Russkies?
Let the games begin!

Wedding Bell BooFoos

Heard a lady today on the news protesting Californication’s new Gay Marriage Law. She was pretty cheesed-off about it. She said that there have been more earthquakes, more floods and more tornadoes now than ever before ‘cause God is cursing America for letting the queer-folks get hitched. Interesting.

Here at PTB we get a kick out of people who say they have an open line to God’s brain. We call ‘em like we see ‘em…they’re all crackpots. Think about it…the Bible says if you have the faith of a mustard seed, nothing will be impossible to you. And if you’re on a one-on-one basis with the Big Kahuna…you’ve got yourself some big-time faith. So why do these mustard seed-heads just stop people from being...you know...gay? ‘Cause they’re all full of that malarkey stuff.

We’ve got a couple of questions: If the Invisible Man in the Sky is putting the noonan on the USofA for allowing gay marriage, why isn’t he pissed off about gay sex? What about other countries where gay marriage is allowed? Hear about any earthquakes or tornadoes in The Netherlands lately? No.

The crux of our biscuit is simple…if God thought being gay was such a big deal, he woulda scratched another rule into Moses’ rocks. But he didn’t. If being gay, having gay sex or being married and gay didn’t make the good Lord’s top ten list, it shouldn’t make yours. Tell you what lady…go grab your bible, re-read the Ten Commandments and then turn your anger toward the liars, cheaters and killers out there. then we’ll see how big your mustard seed is.

Only the Good Die Young

Tim Russert may have been born in Buffalo, New York but his honesty, his integrity and his passion for politics made it seem like he was straight from the 775. We spent so much time in the basement watching him on TV that he became a part of our family. Tim died Friday afternoon…he was 58 years old. There won’t be a day that goes by that we won’t think of him…and miss him. So long bro...you’re on to a better gig…go get ‘em boy!

Freeballin' Friday

Since tomorrow is Flag Day, it got us to thinkin’…if you make flag burning illegal, how then are you gonna get rid of old flags?

Speakin’ of flags…according to this website, it is NOT illegal to fly the flag of another country instead of the American flag. So to the fascist redneck who cut down the brother’s Mexican flag last year…you’re not a patriot, you’re an ass so STFU!


John McCain was a Marine. The U.S. Marine Corps creed is that “No one gets left behind.” Funny…he kicked his first wife to the curb ‘cause she got majorly messed up…way to show your loyalty bub.


The SCOTUS ruled yesterday that prisoners in Gitmo have the same rights as American citizens. The tiughty-righties are blowing a gasket. We got one thing to say to all y’all right-wing nutjobs…ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. True dat.


Chimp-dick has taken the oath of office twice and been in this gig for more than seven years. You’d think he’d know what his job description is. Nope. Yesterday the pResident regurgitated the tired old line that his job is to “protect the American people”. Wrong Bush-wipe. We don’t need your sorry ass protecting us. No, your job is to uphold the Constitution. So far, you’ve done piss-poor work.


Ron Paul ended his run for the presidency yesterday. Too bad. He’s the only real “change” candidate in the field. The American political landscape is a little less bright without Dr. Paul.


When Barack and Michelle Obama fist-bumped a couple of days ago, we said to ourselves “That’s never been done in American presidential politics.” The tighty-righties are calling it the “terrorist fist jab”. We were wrong, it has happened before. But no one'll call that one a terrorist fist bump.

Back here in the 775…a county employee is accused of stealing 2.2 MILLION dollars from the water department. They say he has a gambling problem. That is a crappy excuse. Gambling didn’t make you a thief. Gambling didn’t turn you into a liar and a cheat. You did all that on your own.


One more note on the H2OMG…most people can’t get out of work with a pilfered pen. WTF was management doing that they didn’t see 2.2 MILLION dollars missing? It’s not like the dude could walk out with it in his pants.


And finally…the University of Nevada lost a stud yesterday when Matt LaGrone transferred to Oregon State to play football. LaGrone says he was promised that he could play both football and basketball for the Wolf Pack after his sophomore year. Guess not. Coach Fox and A.D. Groth said he couldn’t. We ask…Why not? C’mon…if the kid is good enough to play…let him. Oh well. Can anyone remember a span of time in Wolf Pack athletic history that had so many firings, transfers, suspensions and generally bad behavior? From what we’re told, the morale up on the hill is in the drink. So too, it seems, may be Nevada athletics. We shall soon see.

The Reagan Defense -- "I don't remember"

Ya know, this Jim Gibbons divorce thingy is getting’ freakier every day. Hey, no problems…we here at PTB are just fine with freaky. But we wanna make two observations about the Gov’s recent revelations:


Yo GJG…you text messaged your skronk almost a thousand times in a six week period and you say you don’t remember what any of the messages were. Nice. Aren’t you supposed to have more than a tiny brain pan to be the friggin’ governor? It’s the typical politician’s alibi. Deny it happened then, when you get caught, say you don’t remember.

You said that in the early months of your administration that you’d talk to your paramour about your office, your tax policy and your personnel decisions. Question for you Jimmy boy: Do you think it’s proper for you, as Governor, to discuss personnel matters with your ‘ho? Believe this…if you were a democrat, the tighty-righties would have already opened a can of impeaches on your ass. Do us all a favor…resign. Then you won’t have the big, bad, evil media monsters tracking your every move anymore. That’ll be up to the Bush-wipes' secret eavesdropping program.

(8.-)

Text Book

687 text messages? SHEESH! Allowing for eight hours of sleep a day, that comes out to 1.29 texts every waking hour for six weeks. It’s no wonder the state is sinking like the anchor on the Titanic…the Gov. was too busy making winky-winky at his mistress to actually, you know, run the state. So much for the sanctity of marriage and the solemn oath to serve the citizens of Nevada.



Now, everybody knows that the liberal lefties wear their penises on their sleeves. But we have to wonder why the moral minority on the right has their Underoos in a bunch over this gay marriage thing. It’s not like they believe in the sanctity of marriage themselves.



Ronald Reagan, John McCain, Bob Dole, Newt Gingrich, Henry Kissinger, Phil Gramm, Pete Wilson, Gorge Will, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Barr, Alfonse D’Amato, John Warner, George Allen, Nelson Rockefeller and Rudy Giuliani…all divorced and in some cases, more than once. Sanctity? No. Hypocrisy? Yes.




So to all you tighty-righties who insist on putting your nose in America’s bedrooms…STFU! Gays should have the same right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that straights do. After all, this is America…isn’t it? Besides…nothing says life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness like getting married…or is that getting a divorce?

Stand By Your Man

It’s nice to see a woman standing by her man. Today, the L-Bush said that history will vindicate WPE. If history means some kind of war-crimes trial and if vindicate means convicted of treason and hung by the neck until dead…then yeah…history will vindicate Chimp Dick. How do we know? We know history. Here’s some of the highlights of Mrs. Bush’s husband’s last seven years:






Ignored warnings about OBL leading up to 9/11



Falsely promised Americans a Hydrogen fuel cell



$4.00+ for a gallon of gas



Lied about WMD’s



No exit strategy from Iraq



Still haven’t found OBL



Tax cuts for the rich that hurt the poor




Non-support for the new G.I. Bill



Suspension of Habeas Corpus



Indefinite detention of Gitmo prisoners



Allowed torture of prisoners




Outed a CIA agent in political retaliation in a time of war



Illegally eavesdropped on American citizens



Politicized the State and Justice Departments



Whiffed on Katrina






We could go on…and on…and on…but to what end? REAL Americans already know GWB is the WPE. Tighty-righty Bush-Wipes are praying history will look more kindly on him. Hindsight may be 20/20 L-Bush…but we see just fine right now.

Fill 'Er Up!

Damn…$4.00+ for a gallon of gas is really startin’ to get binding here in the 775. We’ve got more roads and more space between things than just about anyone in the USofA.



The upside is that parents are makin’ little Suzie and little Johnny walk to the mall instead of givin’ ‘em a ride. That’ll burn some of the fat off their asses, neh?



Expensive gas means fewer people driving. That means less traffic and less air pollution and it’s an AWESOME karma payback for those terrorist-enabling Hummer drivers!



Have you seen the new car commercials promising $2.99/gallon gas for three years if you buy one of their vehicles? We’ve done the math and if gas goes up to $15 or $20 a gallon, that $2.99 guarantee will put some folks out of business. It reminds us of McDonalds’ 1984 Olympic food giveaway. Someone in the marketing department is sweating bullets right about now!



But $4.00+ for a gallon of gas hurts three sectors in the 775 especially hard…



NEVADA ATHLETICS – With petrol being so expensive, Wolf Pack footballers won’t have enough money to afford to both drink AND drive.



NEVADA BROTHELS – the way the Silver State is set up, the only thing farther away than brothels is the planet Uranus.



HOT AUGUST NIGHTS – Yeah, we know you need a lot of money in the first place to own a classic car, but you’re gonna have to take out a second mortgage if you wanna drive that hoopty around the 775 for any length. Besides…have you seen the mileage rating for a 1929 Cord? YIKES!

Remembering...

We’re fighting two unjust wars with no end in sight.


Using the “Muddling Through It” defense, the pResident says we’re learning as we go.


Dr. Evil says he doesn’t care that Americans want to end the war.


Senator McSame doesn’t care if the wars last a hundred years.


War profiteering is rampant. Soldiers are stretched to the breaking point and when/IF they come home they get the shaft.


More than four thousand brave American soldiers…dead. Tens of thousands physically, emotionally and spiritually maimed. Hundreds of thousands of civilians…dead. Upwards of a million are now war refugees.


Sixty-four years ago today Americans put boot to butt and stood up to defeat a tyrant. Today…the United States is ruled by tyrants. And brave American men and women die needlessly because of it.

The Dan Quayle Defense

On the 45th anniversary of Bobby K getting BobbyK’d we look to the future of another young, handsome, charismatic leader.

Here in the USofA ‘08…there are millions of crackers out there whose worst nightmare is about to happen…President Barack Hussein Obama. YEEE HAWWWW! If you read us here at PTB on a regular basis, you know we called the Dem race for the ‘Bamer long ago (there’s still time for Ron Paul) and now that he’s made it, the talk turns toward his running mate.

Now, a lot of people are pushing Hillary Clinton for the number two slot and we think it’s a good idea. Why? Well, there are a lot of right-wing jihadists out there who are skidmarking their dungarees ‘cause a brown-skinded brother is gonna be President. So, if the ‘Bamer picks Whitey to be V.P., you’d better believe those BSC motherhubbards would JFK him in a New York minute.

But the thing that scares the bejeezus out of righty-whitey is Hillary and Bill Clinton back in the White House. Think about it…if Hill Bill Vol.2 is a heartbeat away from the presidency, the LAST thing the bad guys would want is for something to happen to the ‘Bamer. Heck-fire…if Hillary was the V.P., the Klan would probably volunteer to help the Secret Srervice keep the Prez safe. So c’mon BO…think of what’s best for you and the country…pick Hillary. Best. VP. Ever.

Say What?

Yesterday Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice stepped up the right-wing jihad against Iran by calling any dialogue with its leaders pointless. Typical Bush-Wipe…shoot first, think later. It was a swipe at Barack Obama’s position of talking to the leaders of such nations. The day before, Senator Skeevy McAncient said the ‘Bamer’s willingness to be diplomatic with the Iranians was, “misguided and insufficient.” Now do you see why the republicans are gonna get creamed in November? They think diplomacy is for wimps and war is the way of the world.

Well, we did a little bit o’ the research and came up with three historical arguments that support givin' peace a chance...

"The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting."- Sun Tzu
Now we’ve never learned to speak Chinese, so we’ll have to rely on the translation. But Sun Tzu had a point there. If you can kill ‘em with kindness, no need to kill ‘em with bullets.

“Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?”- Abraham Lincoln
We never met Honest Abe but he’s on the money with that one. It happens on playgrounds all over the USofA. Two little kids who don’t like each other start talking, find out they like what all other little kids like and end up being friends.

"Listen to your enemy, for God is talking."- Jewish proverb
Y’all know our position on the Invisible Man in the Sky but this Jewish proverb got us thinkin’. Doesn’t your God’s book say things like “Love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek, and whatever you do to the lowest of creatures, you do unto me? Well then, why don't you practice what your Good Book preaches?

Talking to Iran or Syria or North Korea isn’t gonna hurt anything. What it MIGHT do is save American lives. Isn’t that the goal?

Not Your Brother's Keeper

There are few places in the 775 more beautiful than Elko County. That place is so sweet it’s almost enough to make you believe in a God…almost. Yeah, here at PTB we love us some Elko. But in a recent RGJ article, it looks like the peeps of the “Big Easy” are losing their way.


Elko is described as being a conservative place – republicans in the county outnumber democrats 2-1. We never did get that. Ya se, Elko is home to enough brothels, casinos and watering holes to make Beelzebub blush. Nothin’ conservative ‘bout that. It’s what we here in the big city call the “real Nevada.” Live hard, love hard, drink hard, party hard die hard. That’s the way it should be.


But what, you might ask, is getting Elko’s collective Underoos in a twist? Governor Jim Gibbons’ divorce, that’s what. According to the RGJ, “Gibbons Country” is ready to throw the Gov. under the bus. They feel this divorce thing is getting quite messy and they’re not happy with their favorite son.


Here’s the crux of our biscuit:


If you support GJG’s position on the Iraq war…if you understand the man-crush he has for Chimp-Dick and Dr. Evil…if you agreed when he called anti-war activists “tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, hippie, tie-dyed liberals” then WTF is the problem? C’mon Elko…have none of y’all ever canoodled with someone other than your spouse? Yes. Has anyone in the "Big Easy" ever gotten a divorce? Sure. Look Elko…if you’re as conservative as you say you are…remember your God’s book:


“Let he without sin cast the first stone.” And if getting a divorce is enough to make y’all drop trow and run for the hills, consider yourself lucky…our Governor could be the one with the “wide stance.”

DANGER: Politician Crossing

Way back in the Stone Age (1994 to be exact) a tsunami of conservatism swept quite a few righties into positions of power. It’s called the Republican Revolution. Among those who rode the wave were notables such as Bill Frist, Nevada’s own John Ensign and WPE GWB. Leading up to the ’94 elections the right-wing jihadists used a very clever visual aid. After all, Americans are so stupid, without a cheat sheet most of y’all wouldn’t know which hole to pee out of. The prop we’re talkin’ ‘bout, of course, was the Contract With America.

Analogous to a sixth grader running for class president and promising less homework, longer recesses and better cafeteria food, the Contract With America included all sorts of go-nowhere ideas. Thinking they were smarter than Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson republicans wanted a Constitutional Amendment to ban flag burning. After all, at the time, flag burning hippies were ruining America.

Thinking they were smarter than John Adams and Alexander Hamilton, republicans wanted a Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage. After all, why should homos get to enjoy all the perks of marriage (and divorce) when the Bible says marriage (and divorce) is only for heterosexuals?

Thinking they were smarter than George Washington and Gouverneur Morris, republicans wanted a Constitutional Amendment requiring a balanced budget. After all, everyone knows you can’t live outside your means and countries that run on deficits are fiscally irresponsible.

We knew at the time the CWA was nothing but smoke and mirrors. It was a pathetic circus trick designed to get republicans elected. It worked. Problem is, only one thing in the CWA actually got passed was term limits. Horrible. Idea.

We said it back then and we’ll say it now…America already HAD term limits…it was called the VOTE! Don’t like the guy? Vote him the hell out. We didn’t need a law that takes the vote away from the people. Alas…it passed and the right-wing jihadists were ecstatic. The operative word there is “WERE.” Now, it seems the very same politicians who were all droppin’ trow to hook up with the CWA are coming out against term limits. Seems the skeevers just wanna save their jobs. Here’s the crux of our biscuit:

Nevadan’s voted twice to enact term limit laws. So serve your time, get the hell outta Dodge and let someone else rattle around the halls of government. You wanna get rid of term limits? Let the people decide. Put it to another vote. But next time, leave your visual aids at home.
