*Governor Cheesehead's one of those classic looks-like-common-sense-regular-guy-is-in-fact-douchebag-ideologue Republicans.

*They're the worst kind.

*Now that the unions have agreed to pay more and give up benefits, it becomes CRYSTAL CLEAR that Governor Cheesehead's continued insistence on denying collective bargaining rights is nothing more than GOOD OLD FASHIONED UNION BUSTING FROM A DICKHEAD IDEOLOGUE, and not some bold fiscal prudence.

*My girlfriend axed me the other day, "why are the Republicans all of a sudden going batshit?" I think it's because they can.

*Senator Scott Brown was molested as a child at a camp on Cape Cod called "Camp Good News." What the hell happens at Camp Bad News?

*Maybe you get molested by bears.

How ‘bout the Camp reaching out to law enforcement to find the perpetrator? If Camp Good News had a molester on its staff during Scott Brown's stay, the odds are that there are more campers out there with a pretty tale to tell.

*I believe this is the classic definition of unhappy campers.

*I heard the Catholic Church was consulted and the counselor was whisked away and moved to another camp.

*When you've got a tried and true formula, use it.

*Smoky says, only you can prevent future senator molestation.

*Speaking of formula, Nothing But The Breasts. Here's a link to a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette blog posting by MacYipper Frances Monahan which mentions MacYapper. It's all about IRS deductions for Breast Pumps. It'll Pump. You. Up.

Sarah Palin made a similar jab at Ms. Obama in a speech Thursday, media outlets reported.

Aside from the fact that Sarah Palin has become the eternal butt of the "that's what she said!" joke, there is so much evidence that breastfeeding is the healthiest choice for your child, with hard science to back that up, I'm not sure why we're still debating this.


*Francis makes one helluva salient point - Sarah Palin is an eternal butt.

*Which, I guess means we can't kill her, even with a stake through the heart.



This famous actress breast feeding photo was LINKED TO, but not shown on the main blog page, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

*Because even in this modern age, fear of terrorism is only exceeded by FEAR OF BREASTS!

*I think only a narcissist would like his own Facebook comment.

*I happen to be in love with mine.

*What would dead Presidents say if they came back today?

*Reagan - "Wayl, I knew I started something but I didn't know my party would go all bat-shit crazy. Although that Sarah does have a great set o' gams."

*Gerry Ford - "Believe it or not, I'm even more shockingly uninspiring in the after life."

*Richard Nixon - "I am not a crook. But I did have a gay thing for that British TV interviewer. Little Frost on the pumpkin don'tcha know. And they said I wasn't funny."

*Lyndon Johnson - "See, I wasn't the first American President to lose a war! Gotcha Tricky Dick! "

*John Kennedy - "I've searched every damn cloud in the universe and I still can't find Marylin! "

*Dwight Eisenhower - "Beware the military-industrial complex. And if you're a tea bagger, beware the complex."

*Franklin Roosevelt - "We have nothing to fear but fear itself. Oh, and fear-mongering batshit crazy Republicans!"

POST-GAZETTE'S BRIAN O'NEILL REVIEWS MAC-YAPPER VIDEO

Brian O'Neill is a fine columnist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

He happened upon the MacYapper blog the other day, and was amused by my jealously of homeless-guy-turned-guy-with-several-lucrative-offers Ted Williams.

Hence he wrote the following. Enjoy. Or not. I thought it was groovy.

I'm not sure I've ever helped anyone go viral, at least not since I went to work at Waldbaum's deli with bronchitis 35 years ago.

But "going viral'' is now the buzzword of new media. Ya gotta make something wildly popular in a flash, even if that popularity has a shorter shelf life than your average banana.

The most obvious recent example would be Ted Williams, the homeless fellow with the sonorous voice whose image was captured last month at a highway off-ramp by a videographer with The Columbus Dispatch. Mr. Williams' baritone was so captivating that he wound up all over the TV talk shows and was offered more jobs than most Ivy Leaguers.

Long battling alcoholism, he entered rehab after receiving national attention. I saw a report that he's out again, but in this hyperspeed age, Mr. Williams is already yesterday's news. The media are now going 24/7 with Steelers/brrr-it's-cold/Egypt, roughly in that order. The mid-January fame of Mr. Williams now seems a very long time ago.

John McIntire remembers, though. I called up his MacYapper blog the other day and found Pittsburgh's own "underemployed broadcaster and comedian'' going full tilt, like an auctioneer with two minutes to live, in an ostentatiously envious, politically incorrect way about how this homeless man gets all the breaks.

His screed had only 162 views by Wednesday morning, which is more like a polite cough than a virus. But it's funny.


Here is the video to which Brian refers.



Just as it is as American as apple pie to romanticize about a rags to riches fairytale, so too is it as American as wasting money on crap at Target, to envy those who convert the aforementioned rags to actual cash-money.

Hence, I join a long list of extinguished Americans in my effort to keep up with the Joneses. Or in this case the Williams. ses.

Can I out homeless the homeless guy and hence out succeed him in the long run?

Ah, the great American soap opera. You doubt me? Wash your mouth out with soap opera.

ACTING!

I'm not an actor but I play one on TV. Well, on the innertubes. I play a liberal US Senate Candidate. He makes a big mistake. Hence, he loses. Coincidentally, the script was written by a GOP ad man. Go figure.
