Dirty Sanchez

We don’t hate him ‘cause he’s a pompous ass, a metrosexual, a Bush-wipe or even that he’s possibly Larry Craig’s stall mate. But every time Skeevy Dean Heller opens his pie-hole we wanna start raging against the machine.

This time, Hell-Bent is pushing legislation for “English only” ballots. He said the government "does too much to cater to people who speak a different language.” He goes on to say that, “If you're going to be successful in this country, the key to that is being able to speak the language."



Here’s the crux of our biscuit: We all know Skeevy-D is an uber-conservative nut case who’d rather lick the sweat off of Karl Rove’s nutsack than just about anything else. But his right-wing extremist philosophy of divisiveness is what’s killing America. We say it here at PTB all the time....our diversity is what makes America the greatest country in the world. We get it Hellboy…you’re afraid of everyone that doesn’t look like you, you’re afraid of everyone that doesn’t sound like you and you’re afraid of everyone who doesn’t think like you. Shoot-fire…just thinking of us here at PTB probably makes him skidmark his Underoos.

Get this CDH…quit waggin’ the dog with yer “English only” ballots, yer flag pins, yer marriage saving amendments and yer BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY drivel about brown-skinded brothers. DO YOUR FUCKIN’ JOB and go find OBL, balance the friggin’ budget and protect the rights of Nevadan’s…ALL Nevadan’s.

One last take…Hell-O-Shitty’s bill would make an exception for language assistance for those with Native American and Alaska Native dialects. He says, "They were here first." No shit, Captain Obvious. Problem is…folks with Mexican dialects (and skin color) were here before whitey too. Whadda you say 'bout THAT?

Smokin' Aces

Funny, we thought it was ILLEGAL to smoke marijuana in the 775. If you hadn’t noticed, we rolled over to the Rush concert in downtown Reno Saturday night. Longtime readers know that we think Rush is the best thing to come out of the Great White North since Dudley-Do-Right’s woman. ANYWAY…


When the lights dimmed and the show started, a plume of smoke started risin’ above the crowd. It looked like someone dropped a nuke. WHOOSH! There was so much smoke between the stage and our seats it actually distorted the light coming from the strobe lights…or maybe that was a secondhand buzz? Hell, it looked like the fog rollin’ in off the SFBay. But here’s the crux of our biscuit…


Why were the cops not bustin’ those hemp-lovin’, tie-died, hippy freaks? Were they givin’ the pot-heads their tacit approval? Was Reno-911 waiting for ‘em to get out on the streets and pop a cap in someone? Kill a cop? Or just go generally BSC like EVERYONE does when exposed to the killer evil weed?


Look folks…this “wink, wink, nod, nod” shit needs to stop. There are thousands of people incarcerated here in the 775 for possession of the ganja. There are so many tokers in the hoosegow that the prison system is at the breaking point. So, are y’all gonna stay rutted in your hypocritical ways and selectively imprison stoners? Or are you gonna wake up and realize that marijuana is no more dangerous than aspirin and a LOT less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco?


We figure that if all those people were smokin’ blunts and there weren’t any big problems…what’s the big problem? On the other hand, if the schnizzle is illegal...it should be illegal everywhere. It would have made for a lonely concert…but at least, we could have seen the stage.

Friends, Family and Fools

We just wanna hit one more point about Reverend Jeremiah Wright and then we'll let you get on with your weekend.


The ‘Bamer is getting pressure to renounce, denounce and bounce RJW because of the Rev’s controversial views. But here’s our thought…doesn’t EVERYONE have a crazy friend or relative who spouts weird stuff? We sure do.


Our pResident says the economy is only going through a bumpy time. Isn’t that one of the craziest things you’ve ever heard?


We’ve got a Senator who doesn’t believe in evolution but believes in intelligent design! WTF is HE thinkin’? Darwin and scientists for the last hundred years are wrong and the Invisible Man in the Sky is the seven-day-creator of everything. That sure sounds a lot crazier than anything RJW ever said.


Hell, we’ve even got folks in our bloodline who think Elvis is still alive, that aliens exist and that the NFL conspired to have the New England Patriots win the Super Bowl (y’all see how THAT turned out).



We’re just sayin’ we all have people in our lives who say (and do) stupid things…we say some pretty stupid things ourselves. But in America, saying stupid things isn’t a crime. Blowing the whole thing out of proportion isn’t either…but it should be.

The Wright Stuff

Today we’re gonna talk a little bit about Reverend Jeremiah Wright. We’ve been seeing, reading and hearing a lot of people trash him but we haven’t seen, read or heard anyone defend him. Well, we’re here to tell you…we’re gonna jump on the other side of that fence and throw a few fluff bombs of our own at Reverend Wright’s critics.







First things first – Jeremiah Wright is an American patriot. He served in the Navy AND the Marines. So, all the blowhards calling RJW a traitor can shove it up their asses. He has EARNED the right to say any damned thing he likes about the good ole’ USofA. And unless you were in both the Navy and the Marines…STFU!







When RJW gave his now infamous “God DAMN America” sermon it sure shook up whitey. But the quote was taken out of context. RJW wasn’t damning America or Americans…he was damning the United States Government. Big difference. Now, we’re not sure about his AIDS comments. After all…with what the government-cheese did to black soldiers at Tuskegee…we don’t put it past the rat-bastards to do that type of stuff today. The only question we have is why aren’t Black Americans more pissed off than they are?







Hell, last week a brown-skinded brother was found innocent of a crime through DNA testing. The dude spent TWENTY-SEVEN years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. SHEESH! Hundreds of brothers have been released from prison under the exact same circumstances. The disproportionate number of black and brown and tan people in prison sure makes it look like the crackers are out to get ‘em.







Blacks had to wait almost a hundred years after the Civil War to play the American pastime! Hell, it took ‘till 1979 (and threats from the government) for blacks to be able to preach in the Mormon religion. WTF is up with that? On the outside looking in, we’ve gotta tell you…being a person of color in America today must really suck!







But the real point we wanna make today is about RJW’s 9/11 comment. You know…the one that said America’s foreign policy is what brought the terrorist attack? Hate to break it to all the redneck pink-asses out there but he’s right on the money. And if you don’t believe it, you’re as dumb as Chimp-Dick.







According to that BSC OBL, America’s presence in the Middle East (in particular the military presence in Saudi Arabia) was indeed the reason he plotted, then carried out, the 9/11 attacks. Muslims don’t hate America for our freedoms…they don’t hate us because of our decadent ways…they don’t even hate us for American Idol. No, the Muslims that DO hate us hate us ‘cause we’ve got soldiers in their holiest of holy places – Mecca. There’s nothing that pisses ‘em off more than our military marking territory where Muslims pray. And as long as we have a military presence in the Middle East, we’re all targets. Just because politicians say we have to fight ‘em over there so they don’t come here doesn’t make it true. As long as we’re over there…they’re on the way here. Reverend Wright hit the nose on the head…and we’re all too stupid to see it.

Fry On Freebird

Albert Hoffman sleeps with the fishes today. No worries, he was 102 years old and when you get up into triple digits like that, you pretty much know you’re a short-timer.



Now, y’all might be thinkin’ to yourselves, “WTF is Albert Hoffman?” Well, the Hoffster wasn’t what you’d call a household name but he was the chemist who discovered lysergic acid diethylamide-25 in 1938. That’s right. Pre-WWII, good ole’ Albert invented LSD. After Tim Leary made acid popular in the ‘60’s and a couple of dumb-asses jumped out of windows, making it SCARY to the establishment, in stepped the Government-Cheese. They banned the drug in 1966.



“BOOGITYBOOGITYBOOGITY,” they said. “We’ve got to keep this dangerous drug out of the hands of innocent Americans! It’s for their own safety.” Yeah right. Here’s the crux of today’s biscuit:



If the Government-Cheese is worried about drugs and our safety, how come alcohol is legal? If the Government-Cheese is worried about drugs and our health, how come tobacco is legal? Why? ‘Cause they make a lot of money from the sales and taxing of those drugs. Bet your bottom dollar that if the Government-Cheese found a way to distribute, sell and tax LSD, there’d be vending machines everywhere sellin’ it.



The United States government never has and never will care about you, your safety or your health. They only care about spending your money. Is LSD really bad for you? Albert Hoffman took acid trips for decades…and he lived to be 102. So much for that theory.

SMiley and Say Cheese

So, Hannah Montana and her dad, the one-hit-wonder-chump, are appalled, embarrassed and generally feeling icky about pictures of the teen queen published in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair.



The shots were taken by world-famous photog Annie Leibovitz and we’ve gotta say, they’re tastefully done. That is, if pics of a scantily-clad, underage teeny-bopper can be called “tasteful.”


But here’s the crux of our biscuit…Vanity Fair isn’t Hustler and Annie Leibovitz isn’t Larry Flynt. Believe it…we know Larry Flynt and Annie Leibovitz is no Larry Flint. But Momma and Poppa were at the shoot…reps and advisors were at the shoot and no one said anything ‘til Disney got their knickers in a bunch. Hell, Dakota Montana herself said, "I think it's really artsy. It wasn't in a skanky way. Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought that was really cool. That's what she wanted me to do, and you can't say no to Annie."


Well, little one, we’ve got news for you. If anyone in your posse had thought that the pics would get you in trouble with your fans, and more importantly the people who sign your rather large checks, they should have spoken up. They didn’t. You didn’t. If you or mommy or daddy or your handlers didn’t say no to Annie and Vanity Fair that’s YOUR fault. Just remember one thing Ms. Miley…you’re only three years away from being another Danny Bonaduce, McCauley Culkin and/or Britney Spears. Hell you might even get JonBenet-ed. Good luck with THAT!

Diamonds and Rust

We’ve been on cloud nine ever since we found out the 775 was getting a Triple-A baseball team. After all, baseball is America’s pastime and we love to pass us some time watching a baseball game.

So, the quandary for us all now is what to name the team? The name needs to be strong. The name needs to be classy. The name should bring to mind the 775. The name should have a baseball-related theme. And the name should reflect the image of the parent club. So, as a public service, we’ll reiterate our stance that the new team should be the Reno Diamonds. Why?

Diamonds are the hardest mineral in the world – even harder than Dick Cheney’s heart.

Diamonds are so classy, they’re a girl’s best friend. In comparison, guys best buddies are dogs.


Diamonds bring to mind the 775 in the form of that little red thingy on playing cards. No, not the heart-shaped red thingy…the OTHER one.


Baseball is played on a field commonly referred to as a diamond.


Our new parent club is the Arizona Diamondbacks.

So, y’all can have yer contest and let some snot-nosed little fourth grader name the team the Chukars (something you do after you’ve had too much to drink), Blackjacks (something used to smack someone on the side of the head) or the Padres (Weakest. Religious Figure. Ever.) or you can go with the name that y’all know is the right one.


HELLO RENO DIAMONDS!

PoPo No No

Dammit! We wanted to go lite today seein’ as how it’s Friday and all. But circumstances have changed and we just HAVE to add our two bits.



As we’ve said many times before…here at PTB we love us the PoPo. Without them, BSC rat-bastards would be everywhere. But we’ve gotta ask…WTF is up with NYPD Blue?



Three detectives were acquitted Friday in the 50-shot killing of an unarmed man leaving his bachelor party. FIFTY FUCKIN’ SHOTS!!! Isn’t NYPD Blue trained to shoot straight? The victim was UNARMED! Hell, it’s not even the first time. Back in ’99, New York’s finest popped more than forty caps in a dude ‘cause they MISTOOK HIS WALLET FOR A GUN!!! And when they’re not using firearms on their victims, they’re using BROOMSTICKS. We call that one the “Rudy in the Booty.”



Look, we know that police work is hours of drudgery sprinkled with moments of terror. But that’s the job you chose. No one forced you to put on the uniform. No one MADE you become a cop. If you’re having trouble identifying the differences between an armed suspect and an unarmed innocent, maybe you should sign up to be a contractor for Blackwater or KBR. But if you’re gonna continue to patrol a beat, the least you could do is learn your craft to the point where you’re not killing those you swore to serve and protect.

Un-Bear-Able

Well it’s that time of year again -- Ursus americanus are shakin’ off the winter, wiping the sleep from their eyes and trying to quench severe cases of the munchies. No problems there…black bears have been doin’ this drill for thousands of years. But lately here in the 775, Yogi and his pals have been scarin’ the bejeezus out of people by raiding their garbage cans.



The number of urban bears raiding trash cans and breaking into homes has increased steadily in the past decade, particularly at Lake Tahoe, said Carl Lackey, an NDOW biologist and bear expert.



We couldn’t disagree more. Winnie the Pooh and his friends aren’t B&E’ing because they want to…they do it ‘cause they HAVE to. In the last decade the bear population in the Sierra has dropped dramatically while the people population in the area has boomed. In that same timeframe, the County Commissions and the City Councils have rubber-stamped so much development we’re running out of places to put new strip malls. No, bear encounters at Tahoe aren’t the fault of Ursus americanus…the fault lies with us. After all, they were here first.

Let That Be Your Last Battlefield

Here at PTB we make fun of religion all the time. It’s not that we don’t think people should put all their eggs in the basket of the “Invisible Man in the Sky” – we just find it odd that the more religious one seems to be, the less likely they are to act in accordance with scriptures.


Islam is a religion of peace.

Judaism is a religion of peace.

Christianity is a religion of peace.



So why don’t zealous followers of their religions practice what they preach? To that question, we haiku…

One Man's Taboo is Another Man's Custom

If all the FLDS MoMo was goin’ on between the young girls and their substantially older husbands…why are all the kids bein’ taken from their mommas and why aren’t the daddies behind bars?


The authorities in Texas say that girls as young as 13 were getting pregnant at the FLDS. Don’t they get the MoPo Show in the Lone Star State? Young girls are getting pregnant everywhere! “You are NOT the father!” SHEESH!



Americans think we’ve got it made with our “freedom of religion.” But that’s not the case at all. We ain’t got freedom of shit.


-- Wanna use hallucinogenic substances in your services? Not gonna happen.


-- Is sacrifice a part of your religion? You’re in big trouble.


-- Don’t want to take your kids to the sawbones in town ‘cause your religion forbids it? Busted.


-- Does your religion allow you to have multiple spouses? Not in America it doesn’t.


-- Do you worship an alien, a woman or the devil? Sorry, you’re S.O.L.


These are just five examples. There are millions of instances of religions doing something their God has allowed and that the Government-Cheese has deemed “unlawful.”



The crux of our biscuit is simple…what part of “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” don’t the mutherhubbards get?

Will Play For Food

We know that readers of PTB have higher than normal vocabules. You’ve gotta know your stuff wandering around here. Those who don’t, will never get jokes like: “Obama-tude”, “crackufacturing” and “chimp-dick”.

Now, we love helping those less fortunate than us. Our problem is, there just aren’t that many people less fortunate than us. C’mon, living in mom & dad’s basement, working for the minimum wage and blogging in Cyberia is pretty far from being “fortunate”. But being poor in the USofA is NOTHING like being poor in say…Sudan, Colombia or Nepal. That’s where we’re asking our readers to help.

FreeRice is an online word game. Pretty simple to play…read the word and pick the correct definition. Get the word right and sponsors will donate twenty grains of rice to the U.N. World Food Program. We know what you’re thinking -- twenty grains of rice doesn’t sound like much. But if enough people play, things’ll add up quickly. So to you dear readers, please, take the time, drop in and play a few words. You’ll be doin’ it for a good cause. And like Uncle Bill always used to say “Be careful, you just might learn something before it’s done.”


If you haven't already...click here to play.

Why JZeus Spins in His Grave

A couple of quick thoughts on PoBen bein’ on this side of the ATL…

If the Pope is the voice of God on earth…how come he needs such tight security? Wouldn’t the invisible man in the sky take care of that stuff? Pope’s got so much muscle, he looks like skeevy Uncle Fester visiting a market in Baghdad.

The Pope mentioned that Americans need to make their political choices with compassion. Does that mean he’s against the war? If the Pope is against the war but pResident chimp-dick isn’t Catholic, can we still bomb the shit out of Iran?

Wouldn’t the two BILLION dollars y’all had to pay to clergy sex-abuse victims been better off helping the poor rather than buying off accusers? BTW…how the hell does a church get BILLIONS of dollars? Something about throwing out the money changers comes to mind here.

With all your secret church rituals (think The DaVinci Code), your way out there ideas (no birth control, a couple of times around a rosary and you’re clean as a whistle) and your clergy’s penchant for pedophilia…what makes the Catholic Church different than the FLDS?

If Catholics have to go to marriage counseling before they get hitched in the church, why are they counseled by a priest who’s never been, and never gonna be, married? WTF does a priest know about marriage?

One last thing straight to you PoBen. You said today that the clergy sex-abuse scandal needs to be viewed in the “wider context of secularism and the over-sexualization of America.” Do you really believe that horseshit? Look bro, 26 million Americans might think you’re the mouthpiece of God but here at PTB we know better. The only difference between you and the motherhubbards that excommunicated Galileo is a couple hundred years. Quit blaming your problems on people who don’t believe in your magic fairies and quit blaming your problems on American’s sexual appetites. You know little to nothing about either.

Here's to You Mr. Robinson

We’re a day late and a dollar short puttin’ in our two bits (two cents ain’t worth a plugged nickel anymore) about Jackie Robinson Day in MLB. When blacks were finally allowed into the bigs, Americans saw what diversity could do. Almost single-handedly Robinson turned the perennial loser “Bums” into one of the best teams in baseball. Diversity is what made Brooklyn a great team and it’s what makes America a great country. Check it:



Have you ever met a blonde Chinese person? No.

Not one Mexican has the last name of O’Malley. Not one.

Ever seen a brown-skinded brother from Norway? No.

Any Shlomo Liebowitzes in Nigeria? Ain’t happenin’.

You’ll never meet an Iranian named Shaniqua, RaShawna or Dikembe…

or an Egyptian named Bill or George or Doogie.

Ya see, America is one big fat melting pot and anyone is welcome to bubble in the stew with us…makes things mighty tasty. That’s what makes this country great.

Not-tional Geographic

It's not a big secret -- most Americans suck at geography. It's because of our superiority complex. Who the hell cares where anything else is in the world? If they’re not here, they must be losers.



Still, you’d think someone whose job description includes the need for a moderate level of geographic knowledge would, you know, actually HAVE said knowledge. And then we get the video right here.



Stephen Hadley goes on for two and a half minutes about China’s issues with…Nepal. That’s right…Nepal. Not Tibet. Nepal. And it’s not like it was a slip of the tongue or a verbal hiccup or, as Skeevy Uncle Fester would say, a “senior moment.” No, Hadley refers to China’s trouble with Nepal EIGHT TIMES in two and a half minutes.



So, why are we making such a big stink over something as trivial as a geographical mistake?

Stephen Hadley works for the United States Government. In 2002, he was a member of the White House Iraq Group. He was the one who made up the “Yellowcake from Niger” bullshit. Instead of getting fired, he got a promotion. Stephen Hadley is now the friggin’ National Security Advisor to the President of the United States of America…and he doesn’t know the difference between Nepal and Tibet.



If you ever wonder how America got so messed up…look no further than this shit.

Random Acts of Mindless

There’s so much goin’ on ‘round the place we wanted to talk about as many of ‘em as time would allow. So today, we’re all over. Think of it as “drive-by posting.”



There was so much security around the Olympic torch yesterday, it looked like John McCain visiting a Baghdad market.



The city of Reno has to pay $100,000 to a couple of dancers and their boss ‘cause they got roughed up by the RePoPo. Their crime? Stripping without a license. SHEESH! Yo Reno-911…go find Brianna’s killer and leave the strippers alone.



You can’t go on strike and picket your work unless you give ‘em an exact time? That’s one of the stupidest friggin’ rules on the book.



A couple of cops in the NYC get busted for buying illegal steroids from the bad guys. Now NYPD Blue is gonna randomly test all 36,000 officers. Another example of why “Rudy in the Booty” are BSC!



No one wanted the biomass plant down in the Capital ‘ceptin’ the government-cheese. Turns out the people were right. The bugger’s gonna cost us more than it earns for the next 17 years. And now, we’re spendin’ more than a half a million dollars to hire peeps to work the thing ‘cause the state doesn’t have anyone qualified to run it. Who was gonna run it originally? Inmates. Wonder why we hate politicians?



Finally, Sgt. Timothy Smith. Another life wasted on the lies of pResident GWB. This fuckin’ war is NEVER gonna end. Saddest part is that most of the 775 voted for chimp-dick. TWICE! They tell you they support our troops and you believe ‘em. Then the troops get tagged and bagged and you STILL believe ‘em. Must be easy bein’ a sheep.

Fox Trot

Last week Nevada hoops fans dodged a bullet when Cal hired Mike Montgomery as their new head coach.

But the bullets are still flying. Former Pack head coach Trent Johnson is leaving Stanford and is headed off to coach the Bayou Bengals. You know what that means?

Mark Fox is outta here faster than a Metamucil milkshake goes through John McCain.



Guess that's two asses getting hit with the exit doors out the 775.

We'll lay 2-1 odds that coach Fox is headed west by the end of the month. Hell...we'll lay 3-1 he's outta here by the end of the week.

No worries though, Pack fans. Next in the big chair...another ass-kicking coach.

Playing Politics

It was 1979 and the Soviet Union was getting’ pounded by a bunch of bass-ackward, poppy-farmin’, opium tokin’, Mujahideen. Yup…’79 was the year OBL got all his money and all his weapons from Uncle Sam so he could fight the good fight against the Godless Commies.



The President at the time was Jimmy Carter. Before Chimp-Dick showed up, Carter was considered the worst President ever. Why? Because Peanut Head thought a good way to dissuade the Soviet Union from fighting in Afghanistan was to boycott the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. Worst. Idea. Ever.



Sixty-two countries and regions stayed home that year. Hundreds of athletes lost lifetimes of work and sacrifice and sweat ‘cause Shit-For-Brains wanted to flex a little muscle. It didn’t work. The USSR stayed in Afghanistan for ten more years. Then they tucked their tails between their legs and lurped home. The only people hurt by the 1980 boycott were the athletes. They paid a high price for a massive political blunder.



Now, we’re hearing rumblings about a boycott of this year’s Olympics in Beijing. WTF is up with that? Does anyone even remember 1980? Does some politician with head-in-ass disease think that a boycott will change the way China does business? It won’t.



There’s no place in the Olympics for politics…just ask Adolph Hitler. The sight of that rat-bastard skid-marking his Underoos while watching Jesse Owens kick the living snot out of the “master race” was priceless. The Furher thought he could use his athletes to further his political cause. All he did was show the world how wrong he was.
