USo'A, Inc.

Corporations are people and citizens with all the rights of all Citizens of the United States of America, Inc.? Aye caramba! Corporations may be considered people by the SCOTUS but they don’t have feelings, they cannot show remorse and they do not die. Does that sound like a “person” to you? I wonder...do you think gay corporations can get gay married? Can a corporation get tossed in Gitmo for bein' an enemy combatant?

Looks like OBL is taking credit for the Fruit of the Boom bomber. Yo-‘Sama…did you know this chucklenut couldn’t even blow up his own Underoos? And you’re takin’ credit for it? Damn dude, you’re really reaching for the bottom of the barrel. Problem is…wussified Americans are gonna give up more of their freedoms now, for the illusion of safety. So, I guess OBL is gonna win again.

And finally…looks like the US Olympic Committee is thinkin’ ‘bout putin’ the 2022 Winter Olympic Games here in the 775. Bad. Idea. Look guys…the NV is so broke, we’re cutting teachers and firemen and state workers and we’ve got a hole in the budget bigger than the one in Governor Gibbons’ cranium. Advocates of bringin’ the games here say that it’ll be a boon for the economy and we’ll get to upgrade all the ski resorts in the area. Hmmm…did anyone bother to ask Salt Lake City what they’re doing with their ski-jumps? Nothing. Do you think Lillehammer, Norway gets a lot of use out of their bobsled courses? Nope. And when all the Olympic tourists leave what’ll be the benefit then? Bupkis.

Don't Ask Don't (Show and) Tell

I never understood the hypocrisy of the U.S. military when it comes to my gay brothers and sisters serving in the armed forces. After all, it is one of the highest callings for someone to volunteer to protect the good ol’ USo’A. But critics, puritans, religious zealots, homophobes and tinfoil hat wearin’ looney tunes still think gays shouldn’t be able to serve. And “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is as big a fucked up mess as you can imagine. But now, there’s hope.

Last week, Pentagon brass called for an end to the U.S. military's ban on allowing women to serve in submarines. YAY! I cheer because the same argument used to keep women from serving on submarines, is the same argument the cracker-assed crackers use to keep gays from serving. The line goes, “When the shit hits the fan, you don’t want to worry if the guy in your foxhole is checking out your ass or if he’s shooting at the bad guys.” I always thought that if you are having sexual thoughts when you’re in a firefight, you’ve seen the movie Crash one too many times. That being said, if the U.S. Navy thinks it’s O.K. for men and women to “hot bunk” together on submarines, then it should be O.K. for gays to serve anywhere in the military they want. Sex is no longer the issue.

Besides…gay peoples should have the same right to get their asses blown off in these two bullshit, pointless, unwinnable clusterfucks just as much as straight peeps do, neh? Heck-fire…even more. Most places in the U.S. deny gay couples the right to get married, the right to receive partner benefits and even the right to adopt kids. So, gays volunteering to defend America against the bad guys are defending a country that denies them basic civil rights. And that’s wrong in too many ways.

I Dude

They just introduced a bill in Congress to dump DOMA. Y’all know DOMA right? It’s the “defense of marriage act.” Ever wonder why marriage needed defending? Me too. Question to the social conservatives who rammed the bill through in the first place: WTF should government have a role in sayin’ who can be married or not? I was always told that conservatives wanted smaller, less intrusive government. I guess that only applies to insurance company regulation…and banking industry regulation and environmental regulation… stuff like that. Now I know what some of y’all are gonna be sayin’, “We don’t want anyone out there marryin’ their cousins or getting hitched to their dogs. True dat. But there are already laws on the book that address those issues. What DOMA is, is an anti-gay, homophobic, conservative Christian piece of crapola that shouldn’t have been passed in the first place. It’s nice to see that at least one chucklenut over in DC is thinkin’ with his big head instead of his little head.


Oh yeah…in India (and some other countries)…people do marry goats and pigs and horses. So far, JZeus’ Dad has let ‘em pretty much slide on that one. Heck-fire…the Old Testament is filled with plural marriages and folks bangin’ on the side. So if the tighty-righties start talkin’ about wrath from the Invisible Man in the Sky ‘cause we allow gays to be married…ask ‘em WTF was up with Lamech…and Abraham…and Jacob…and David…and Solomon and the rest of those OT horndogs. That ought to shut their pie holes.

The Sanctity of Marriage?

Now, y’all know we love our GLBT peeps ‘round here at PTB. You also know where we stand on the subject of marriage: We wouldn’t wish it on anyone. But if gays wanna get hitched, we think they should be able to. Of course, the religious wack-jobs out there don’t agree. They say marriage should only be between a man and a woman. Check out how bass-ackward that notion seems now…






Residents in a suburb of Nagpur, India were pretty worried that monsoon season was late. No rain equals no crops, so you can imagine their distress. What’d they do? They got together a couple of frogs (no, not French citizens, the amphibious kind) and in a full Hindu ceremony…married them! We had no idea that frog on frog marriage is legal in India. The question begs to be asked: If JZeus’ Dad doesn’t have a problem with amphibious nuptials; do you think he gives a care about gay marriage? Nope.







Speaking of marriage…for the second time in a week, a prominent, holier-than-thou, bloviating, smarmy, anti-gay marriage, reflublican, friend of JZeus got popped with a wandering doodle. Today, Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina admitted to zipping down to Argentina and horn-doggin’ his paramour. And just like Johnny “The Wad” Ensign, he’s not gonna resign. Have you wondered lately WTF it’ll take to get a republican politician canned? C’mon…the whole party got their collective Underoos in a bunch over Slick Willie’s hummer but they keep their heads up their asses when it comes to their own bangin’ on a non-wife coochie.








Now, don’t think for an instant we forgot about Senator “Long” John Ensign. Yesterday, Johnny Suave had lunch with his fellow “conservatives” and apologized for his dalliances. The money quote?




“He spoke at our conference, apologized and indicated that he was going to do his job,” U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters.




Yo, Able-Semen Ensign…we thought your "job" for the last few years was getting "jobs" for (and from) your paramour, a "job" for her cuckold and a "job" for their son. Funny, the only people that seem to be getting "jobbed" are Nevada voters. Just remember y'all...You can't spell "Ensign" without "resign."

SANCTIFY!

We don’t begrudge Senator John Ensign for bangin’ a woman that wasn’t his wife. It’s human friggin’ nature. He’s a man with wants and needs and desires just like everyone else. Heck-fire, if he was a French politician, he’d be considered a hero. No, we’re hatin’ on John “Able-Semen” Ensign’s hypocrisy. SJE was one of those religious wacko Republican nut cases in Congress who looked all of us in the eye and spouted crap about the “sanctity of marriage” and that “marriage is between one man and one woman.” Bullshit. At least, now we know how hallowed and blessed “marriage” really is to Senator “Long” John Ensign.

Now, Ensign has resigned from his position as the chairman of the Republican Policy Committee. Yo Republicans…WTF kinda policy was he makin’ for y’all? SHEESH! But, of course, he’s not gonna resign from the Senate. Neither did Senator David “Whorebanger” Vitter – neither did Senator Larry “Wide Stance” Craig. Funny thing about tighty-righties, they gnashed teeth, rent garments and screamed bloody murder when Slick Willie Clinton got a hummer in the Oval Office but every time they get busted dipping their doodles in the wrong hole, it’s no big deal. That’s just how Republicans roll. Hey, we’re cool with that, but the next time the subject of marriage, or morals or honesty pops to the forefront, Senator Johnny “The Wad” Ensign and his ilk had better STFU!

He Doesn't Know Dick

Dr. Evil has been in the news a lot lately. Funny thing coming from the brotherhubbard that had Google Earth blur out his house for eight years. But like it or not, Dick Cheney is flappin’ his lie-hole and the whole world seems to be listening.

Yesterday, the former Veep took to the airwaves to…get this…defend gay marriage. Aye caramba! WTF did that come from? While he does have a gay daughter, Dick and his compatriots in the Bush administration never were the types to embrace those “afflicted with the Gay.” Guess times they are a changin’. But not that much. You see, Cheney had a caveat to his assertion that gay peeps should be allowed to get hitched. He said that marriage is, and always has been a state issue. "And I think that's the way it ought to be handled today, that is, on a state-by-state basis.” And that’s why Dick Cheney, in our humble opinion, is dumber than a sack of doorknobs.

It wasn’t that long ago that blacks couldn’t get married in certain states ‘cause they were considered “property.” An even shorter time ago, blacks and whites were not allowed to get married to each other in certain states because some racist rat-bastards thought it was immoral. Hell, if Alabama, Mississippi and the rest of the redneck, huckleberry states had their way, blacks still wouldn’t be allowed to marry.

No Dick…gay marriage shouldn’t be decided willy-nilly on the whim of some cracker-ass government-cheese dick in a state where the most common kinfolk is “Uncle-Dad.” This is America. We’re not supposed to roll like that. So we’re gonna toss you a soft one. Remember the Declaration of Independence?

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

That’s right Dick. Straight from the pen of TJ hisself. ALL men are created equal…that includes the men who like men, women who like women and all the peeps in between who love ‘em both. That's how we roll.

Don't Fear the Queer

Well, it’s been more than a week since Iowans decided that gay marriage was legal and in seven short days, GLBT peoples will be allowed to get hitched. So, we’ve got a question for the Westboro Baptist Church:



Hey, guys…WTF happened to Jzeus’ Dad? If you don’t know who the WBC is, they’re the BSC motherhubbards that swear on their bibles that “God Hates Fags.” Seriously, that’s what they believe. But words ring hollow peoples. We wanna see some action. Now, the WBCers are probably out and about, protesting at some poor bastard’s funeral but y’all had better light a fire underneath the Big Guy. The longer the Invisible Man in the Sky waits to punish Iowa (and Iowans) the less likely anyone is to believe in what the WBC is sayin’.



Look, we’re not askin’ for much. A plague would be pretty cool. Pestilence? We can dig that too. Or maybe a famine. That’d hit those gay-lovin’ Iowans right below their corn belts. That’s the kind of Godly retribution the WBC predicts and that’s the kind of fire and brimstone we’re lookin’ for. After all, it’s only Iowa.



So whadda you waitin’ for WBCers? Get on the horn to Burning Bush Man and tell him to get busy on this one. It’s not like he anything better to do.

Like This and Like That

Wow, another chapter in the fiasco that is the marriage of Governor Jim and Dawn Gibbons. Every time a new story comes out about these two, it seems more fitting for the Jerry Springer Show than major metropolitan newspapers. What we don’t understand is that GJG says he’s gonna run for a second term in the State House. Huevos rancheros bro. The chances of him winning reelection are the same as our chances of getting’ some rebound poontang from Mrs. G. Yo Dawn…you know where we are, give us a holler! We can always hope, can’t we?

Defense Secretary Robert Gates says he wants to cut a bunch of unnecessary weapons systems from the Pentagon’s budget. You can bet the tighty-righties all over are getting’ their Underoos in a bunch over that one. The thing is…he’s right to do it. We’ve said it here before – WTF good is another aircraft carrier, a bunch of F-22’s or a missile defense system in fightin’ the terrorists? NONE! The only people these humongous military projects benefit are defense contractors. Anyone remember Ike’s warning about the “military-industrial complex"? We do.

There’s no getting around the fact that Guy Felton likes to cheese-off politicians. He’s been doin’ it for years. Now comes the twist. Felton has been sending some pretty nasty e-mails to Washoe County Commissioner David Humke. No, not the kinds that promise one pill that can enlarge your breasts and penis while growing you a full head of hair. Felton blasted off a couple of tirades threatening to bust some ass and that’s where Reno 911 stepped in. The PoPo arrested Felton and charged him with harassment and stalking. Here’s our beef with this one: There’s a little thingy on e-mail accounts that lets you block certain senders. So, why didn’t Humke just block Felton’s e-mail addy? Our thought is that Felton is such a turd in the Commission’s punch bowl that they wanted him tossed in the hoosegow. Question. Is that how elected officials in the 775 treat dissent? Wow, maybe America is turning into a socialist nation. Note to the Washoe County Commission: When you vote on projects, you never seem to think about the people of Northern Nevada. Why give a shit when you get an e-mail from one of ‘us?

And finally…yesterday, Vermont became the fourth state (behind Connecticut, Massachusetts and Iowa) to legalize gay marriage. That sound you hear? It’s not JZeus’ Dad making the sinners pay. It’s not the Lord’s fury unleashed at this “abomination” like Jerry Falwell would like you to believe. As far as we can tell, the Invisible Man in the Sky has been quite mum on the subject. No, that sound you hear is the collective sphincters of all the religious nut-jobs, homophobes and bible thumpers tightening to the point of rupture. Sorry guys…you lose.

From the Bottom of the Mind Shaft

In the RGJ the other day, an LTE from Betty Cummings asked the question “Where is all the press coverage on the disappearance of 14-year-old Shermela Washington?” Good question. We’ve got some bad news for ya Betty…unless you’re a pretty, young Caucasian female, you’ve got no chance at pub here in the 775. After all, this is Cracker Town. Sad but true.



A recent study found that frequent masturbation by twenty-somethings increases their risk of prostate cancer. This is the kind of thing that gives science a bad name. If this study is true, then 95% of American teenaged males will develop prostate cancer within the next three weeks.



Here’s an example of why religious zealots make us wanna hurl: The Reverend Ted Haggard is back in the news. You remember Reverend Teddy Bear…last year he confessed to "sexual immorality" and resigned as president of the National Association of Evangelicals and pastor of New Life Church. Now Ted-In-Bed says the relationship he had with the male church member was “inappropriate but not physical.” What, gay sex is O.K. as long as you’re not touching? The crux of this biscuit is simple…we don’t think there’s anything wrong with sex between two consenting adults – gay or straight. The turds in the punch bowl are people like Ted Haggard who spew vile rhetoric about the “evils of homosexuality” while at the very same time, they’re grabbing their ankles, lubing up their pooty holes and sexing it up like they were the Village People. Hey Ted, you’re a hypocrite…and if we know it, surely your God does too!



Finally…last week a 14-year-old kid in Chicago fooled the cops into thinking he was an actual police officer. The kid had a uniform on and even went on patrol for a couple of hours. Aye Caramba! WTF were the Chi-Town fuzz thinkin’? Their excuse? “He looks a lot older than fourteen.” Think about it…if a prepubescent, snot-nosed kid can fool the cops into thinking he was one of the boys in blue…whadda ya think the REALLY bad guys are gonna be able to get away with? People of the Windy City…run for your lives…while you still can.

Grinding Organs

Religion…BAH! It was thirty years ago today that a BSC freak named the Reverend Jim Jones urged his followers to commit mass suicide. The dumbass thought he was JZeus. Many followed orders and offed themselves. The ones who refused got popped. Nine hundred people…dead. Religion? You can have it.



Over the weekend another soldier from the 775 died in the Suck. How many heroes need to be sacrificed before we get the hell outta there? Put it to you this way…if you think the new President’s top priority should be the economy or the environment or healthcare instead of ending the wars…you’re a selfish, un-American, rat-bastard.



Turns out the Brits are in dire need of…wait for it…wait for it…SPERM DONORS! Seems that the new law taking away a donor’s anonymity is keepin’ the Queen’s finest from stepping up and helpin’ out the ladies. We’ve always been big fans of the British so we’re gonna go out on a limb here. If any of y’all British women need a sperm donor and can’t find one…just give us a holler. We’ll show you how it’s done!



And finally…a new report out says that same-sex heart transplants are better for patients than transplants from the opposite sex. Aye Caramba! Let’s get this straight (pun intended)…if two men swap organs, it’s O.K. but if they swap wedding vows or bodily fluids, JZeus’s Dad will be really cheezed-off. How the hell did we get to this place in our world?

As the World Terms

The Republican revolution of 1994 brought a lot of crappy ideas to the forefront. Flag burning amendments, gay marriage amendments, tax cuts for the rich amendments. But another idea that came out of that conservative wave of icky-ness was term limits. Worst. Idea. Ever.

When we first heard about term limits we cried from the mountaintop, “NOOOO! We already HAVE term limits. It’s called your VOTE!” And the unwashed masses stared blankly back at us as if we were speaking a foreign language. They’d been told that term limits would break the back of old-time cronyism, get the fat-cats out of office and get some new blood in there. The people spoke and term limits passed.

Now it looks like a couple of buzz-kills are trying to hang on to the last vestiges of public life by suing to save their term-limited J.O.B.s. We know why they’re doing it…it’s just that we wish they’d come clean to us about why they’re doing it.

You see, they’ll tell you that Nevada will lose valuable experience and decades of political knowledge with the loss of term-limited legislators. They’ll tell you that they love Nevada and her people and that they only think of those needs. They’d say that to you…and they’d be lying.

See the recent state our State is in? They’re cuttin’ programs like a Mohel cuttin’ Bris. Who’s been in charge? The same folks who wanna stay in charge. Reality is, when you’re in the last years of a political career, you’re more likely to set yourself up with a future lobbying job than to do the people’s business. How do we know? They’re spending an awful lot of money defending a shitty-paying job. Now we don’t like mandatory term limits. But that’s what the election was for. The law’s the law. So pack your bags folks…and get the hell outta Dodge.

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.

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.

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?

'Til Death Do Us Part

Hardcore readers of PTB know the malevolence we feel toward politicians. Most of ‘em are skeevy, elitist, pampered, rich, bourgie, motherhubbards looking out for numero uno. But every now and then one of those crazy turds really makes a splash.


The other night Nevada State Assemblywoman Francis Allen and her husband were attending a shindig where Mr. Assemblywoman allegedly “embarrassed” his wife. We’re sure that anyone who’s ever been married has had a similar incident happen to them. Hubby probably got sloshed, started dancin’ around the room wearing only a bar napkin and a lampshade, then started puttin’ the moves on the boss’ wife.


Not happy with her hubby’s exploits Assemblywoman Allen did what any BSC spouse would do…she SHANKED him! Stuck him like an Easter ham! She gave him a cold steel enema! This is how Nevada’s leadership behaves? SHEESH! Guess we’re lucky she didn’t pop a cap in the guy. If she keeps her job though, it’ll be just one more example of how the criminal justice system in this country favors the rich and targets the poor.


Now, this is the second time this month that people who govern the Silver State have had public displays of affliction so we have a question…


Yo…to all our gay brothers and sisters out there…you SURE you want the right to get married? After all, you can be in a monotonous, love-less, sex-less, unsatisfying, violent relationship WITHOUT a piece of paper from the church…and you don’t have to pony up for a ring!

Cracked Ho's

So, this motherhubbard tells us he "voted his conscience" when vetoing legislation dealing with Nevada's meth problem.


Yeah right.


He said that people who lobbied him called the bill “onerous.” For you definition-challenged individuals, it means “burdensome or oppressive.”


You’d think we’d NEED that kind of a law to deal with this problem.

Oh, we get it.

We can oppress the terrorists in Gitmo...

We can oppress our brown-skinned brothers trying to make a better life for themselves...

We can even oppress an entire segment of the population because of who they're bangin'.

But we wouldn't want a little oppression on "Crackufacturers."

Thanks a lot Nevada Assembly Republicans…you’ve reinforced every negative stereotype we’ve had about your party.
