GroundHog Gate Scandal Grows!

Actual footage of the assassination!

Actual photo of the assassination!

The scandal surrounding the assassination of Staten Island Chuck by hulking socialist freak Warren Wilhelm Jr. (stage name Bill de Blasio) continues to rock the very foundations of our Republic.

Here are the facts:

  1. On February 2nd, Groundhog Day, as is tradition, the hulking socialist freak Warren Wilhelm Jr. went to the Staten Island Zoo for Groundhog Day festivities.
  2. Hulking socialist freak, Mayor Willhelm Jr. dropped Staten Island Chuck.
  3. One week later Staten Island Chuck died of “internal injuries consistent with a fall from a great height.”

At least those are the “facts” as reported.  But there is more, there must be more, to this tragic story.

  1. Why was the death of Staten Island Chuck covered up for seven months?
  2. Why are there no autopsy photos of Staten Island Chuck?
  3. Was there a “second dropper.

Fortunately for posterity the assassination was filmed by an amateur at the scene.  What you are about to see is shocking and I urge those with weak constitutions not to watch this clip:

The Zapruder film of GroundHog Gate

Careful and repeated viewings tell a different story than the official one.

Four seconds into the film a man wearing a fedora is briefly seen behind the hulking socialist freak, Mayor Wilhelm Jr.  Perhaps this is the second dropper?

As is seen Staten Island Chuck’s head moves back and to the left. No matter how many times you watch his head always moves back and to the left. This is where the mysterious man in the fedora is standing. (The so-called “second dropper.“)

While the audio in the clip is murky, after putting it through audio scrubbers at the Worldwide Headquarters of Manhattan Infidel™, hulking socialist freak Wilhelm Jr. can be heard saying to someone (presumably the man in the fedora), “Help me drop this mother!

But why would the hulking socialist freak, Mayor Wilhelm Jr. wish to assassinate Staten Island Chuck?

Was Staten Island Chuck a threat to the hulking socialist freak and the socialist worker’s paradise that he hoped to set up in New York City?

Perhaps Staten Island Chuck favored normalization of relations with Perth Amboy, New Jersey?

Perhaps Staten Island Chuck had ties to the carriage industry in New York (an industry that hulking socialist freak Wilhelm Jr. famously vowed to crush.)

Wilhelm Jr. is married to a black lesbian. One would think that the hulking socialist freak would be sympathetic to Staten Island Chuck, especially since Chuck was actually a “Chuckette” with gender and sexual identity issues.

What happened to the autopsy photos of Staten Island Chuck?  Why was his/her body disposed of?  Could it be hulking socialist freak Wilhelm Jr. is afraid of what the public would find if the body were exhumed?

This is a scandal unlike any other:  The assassination of a marmot by an elected official.

We here at the Worldwide Headquarters of Manhattan Infidel™ promise not to rest until the truth is uncovered.

The socialist state murders another innocent.

The socialist state murders another innocent.

Or until my pizza is delivered.

But rest assured my dedication to the truth will not waver.

Until my pizza arrives that is.

Trial of Frankenstein Starts!

The District Attorney is confident of obtaining a conviction

The District Attorney is confident of obtaining a conviction

The sensational trial of the Frankenstein monster, charged with drowning a little girl is set to start this Monday.

“This is a slam dunk” said the District Attorney.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone is innocent until proven guilty but this guy is guilty as sin.  Just look at his face. It’s the face of a murderer.  The state intends to prove that the Frankenstein monster did with malice and aforethought did kill Little Maria by throwing her into the lake.  

Frankenstein’s court-appointed attorney however, argues a different story.

My client is innocent of everything. We intend to prove that he had no bad intent when he threw Little Maria into the lake.  My client has the mental capacity of a five-year old or a member of congress.  He couldn’t have been aware of the consequences of his actions.  My client feels nothing but remorse and tried to save her but she went under the water so quickly he never had the chance.  After that he panicked and ran away.  His actions are understandable.  Indeed we intend to prove that this entire tragic incident was nothing but a set up.  The father of Little Maria just happened to leave her alone.  She just happened to be playing by the lake.  My client is the creation of the prominent and well-off Dr. Frankenstein.  Clearly they were trying to entrap my client and take his money. Little Maria’s father is well-known in town as a scam artist. I believe this was just their latest scam.  Hell, you expect the jury to believe that they just happened to have the entire incident on film thanks to the father’s conveniently placed security camera.  Just a coincidence I’m sure.

The tape in question does seem to support the defense.  As is seen on the video the Frankenstein monster appears to be playing with Little Maria and threw her into the lake as part of that game.  When she drowned he ran away, confused and in a state of panic:

Security footage of the incident in question

However despite the damaging tape the District Attorney maintains that a verdict of guilty is the only reasonable one that can be returned.

Just look at him.  He’s dangerous looking.  The haircut is a giveaway to his dark character.  He looks like he should be in the Beatles and we know all about their sordid characters and drug use.  They say he has the mental capacity of a child. Perhaps.  But with the strength of a heavily steroided up NFL player.  I wouldn’t trust him around children.  And why didn’t he try to save her?  He didn’t throw her that far into the lake.  Perhaps a couple feet at most.  He could have broken a branch off a tree and held it out to her so she could grab onto it.  But no.  He ran away like the dangerous, pathological killer that he is.  He will be found guilty and we intend to seek the death penalty.

Because of the interest in the trial security will be tightened around the courthouse and no one will be allowed in without first going through metal detectors.

Your 2014 Yankees: The Sad End to a Sorry Season

“It’s designed to break your heart.  The game begins in spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone.” ~ Bart Giamatti.

:Yankee fans watch their team get eliminated

Yankee fans watch their team get eliminated

And so on a cold, overcast day in the Bronx when the Yankees were eliminated from the postseason for the second year in a row for only the first time since 1992-1993 (when Buck Showalter was their manager) I watched the Yankees fall to the division winning Orioles managed by Showalter.

The Yankees started Shane Green (5-4  3.78) and the Orioles Bud Norris (15-8 3.65).  The Yankees scored in the bottom of the first when Mark “My kingdom for two good wrists” doubled home Chase Headley.  1-0 Yankees after one.

The Yankees scored again in the bottom of the second when Stephen Drew (of the .165 average) homered to right field.  Drew’s had seven hits all season. It seems they were all home runs.  2-0 Yankees after two.

The Yankees scored in the bottom of the third when Chase Headley homered to right.  3-0 Yankees after three.

Things were looking good at this point.  Green was in control and looking sharp.  But then the top of the fourth (“half-inning apocalypse”) happened.  Baltimore scored six times and never looked back.  Final score: Baltimore 9 Yankees 5.

And so I finish the year at 5-10.

Where to begin talking about this team?  Perhaps a report card is in order.

Joe Girardi:  B +

Given what he had to work with Girardi did a great job.  He kept a team that had no business even finishing above .500 in the wild card hunt until the final week.  I’ll say it again:  Girardi is a better manager than Joe Torre.  Torre just had better teams.

Brian Cashman B –

Cashman did his usual bad off season job of saddling the Yankees with multi–year contracts with aging superstars past their prime.  (I’m looking at you Carlos Beltran.)  However he also did his usual good job of improvising during the regular season.  Many of his trades helped the Yankees, particularly the Vidal Nunez trade to get Brandon McCarthy.  Chase Headley also did a good job for us and may be our starting third basemen next year.

As for the rest of the Yankees?

Mark Teixeira is only 34 and looks washed up.  Gone are the days when he was batting .292 with an OPS of .948 while hitting 39 home runs and driving 122 runs.  This year he batted .217 with an OPS of .713 with 21 home runs and 58 RBIs.  The Yankees have two more years on his contract.  If he doesn’t improve next year do the Yankees eat the remainder?

CC Sabathia also looks washed up at 34.  He missed the second half of the season with knee surgery and hasn’t been performing as a number one starter since 2011.

The Yankees will need a new shortstop.  Was Derek Jeter the greatest Yankee ever?  No.  But I’d put him in the top five.  But there are some guys named Ruth, Gehrig and DiMaggio ahead of him.  Jeter went 0-4 today as his farewell tour continued.  Here is some footage of him grounding out in his last at bat and the last time Manhattan Infidel will see him as a Yankee:

IMG_3187

Which brings us to AROD.  He’ll be 40 next year.  He’s missed the last two years.  He has three more years on his contract. Unless he decides to retire the Yankees have no choice but to play him.  If he can play in 120 games next year, hit around .260 and hit 25 home runs we could use him.  That’s still better than anything the Yankees had this year.

This is the first year in 20 years that the Yankees did not have one player reach 100 RBIs. No one was even close with Brian McCann leading the team with 75.

Who will play right field and center field for the Yankees next year?  Who will play shortstop? Martin Prado, at least, looks like he will be our second basemen.

I hope the Yankees sign Brandon McCarthy but I doubt they will.  CC and Ivan Nova will be coming back next year so someone will end up the odd man out.

And so I say goodbye to my Yankees for the year.  Bart Giamatti was correct.  As I write this it is dark and cold and rains are coming.  Soon the long dark night of a winter in post-constitutional America will be upon us.  And it will be really long, dark and cold.

So with baseball over for me I face the fall alone.

But on the bright side at least we did better than the Red Sox.  (Bahstahn sawks cack!)

Go Yankees!

President Obama Orders Bombing of Scottish Militants

This notorious symbol of intolerance must not be allowed to fly freely!

This notorious symbol of intolerance must not be allowed to fly freely!

Reacting to outrage over atrocities committed by Scottish separatists, President Obama today ordered a series of strikes at the heart of the Scottish Caliphate.

“The civilized world has seen the horrors of the advance of Scottish culture” declared the President.

We as a people can no longer stand by and watch the Scottish overrun the entire British Isle.  We owe it to our English friends to come to them in their time of need. I have called Queen Elizabeth and have assured her that we will stand by England in its hour of darkness. The United States and England are the two bastions of English-speaking civilization.  We speak the same language.  We think in the same language. We must ensure the survival of England.  I have also spoken to Prime Minister David Cameron and have told him that we will strike at the heart of the Scottish enemy.

Perhaps reacting to potential Republican criticism of this latest military venture, President Obama assured reporters that there will be no boots on the ground.

These will be surgical strikes.  We will strike Scottish bagpipe players.  We will strike Scottish kilt wearers. We will bomb the Highland Games. We will strike all those learning Gaelic. But there will be no boots on the ground. Actually I wanted to put some boots on the ground but I was overruled by my generals who told me that if I wanted to invade a place that was cold, windswept and desolate I could just as well send the Army to Seattle.  It would be cheaper.  So repeating:  We will strike at the heart of the Scottish Caliphate but there will be no boots on the ground.  And in closing let me say this. Our battle is not with the Scottish people.  Our battle is with the tiny fraction of Scottish separatists.  These people do not speak for Scotland, which I remind people is the Country of Peace.

Overcoming his natural hesitance to intervene in foreign affairs, President Obama reluctantly decided to intervene after Scottish separatists captured an English tourist and forced him to eat Haggis until he vomited.

I have seen that video and frankly what I saw disgusted me.  To capture an innocent Englishman and force him to eat sheep’s guts filled with hearts, livers and lungs is an abomination that is clearly opposed to international law.  My heart goes out to that innocent Englishman and his loved ones.  I understand that the United Nations is asking for his release and hope to obtain it as soon as he is able to leave the bathroom.  And lest world opinion thinks that America is going it alone, I have compiled a coalition of the willing, which at this point includes only Turkmenistan and a guy named Frank from Iowa, who owns some vintage World War I biplanes.  But I’m hoping to widen the coalition should it be needed.

President Obama then concluded his remarks by thanking the American people for their support and departing for a golf course.

Despite not getting congressional authorization for the bombing campaign, Speaker of the House John Boehner stands behind the President’s decision.

“Look I hate the Scots too.  The unspeakable bastards!”

The Tweets of a Raving Madwoman

I am not crazy!

I am not crazy!

Here at the Worldwide Headquarters™ of Manhattan Infidel we cover a lot of topics. Some are political.  Today instead of politics I’d like to do a horror post. I will cover the truly horrifying tweets of the raving madwoman known as Nancy Pelosi.  Be warned.  These tweets are not for the faint of heart.  Also be warned:  One of these tweets is actually from Pelosi.

Be afraid.  Be very afraid.

Our first tweets (the horror! The horror!) concern taxes:

Nancy Pelosi @NancyPelosi

An American family can’t just change their address to avoid paying taxes. Why can corporations?

Ms. Pelosi was just warming up on the subject.

Nancy Pelosi @NancyPelosi

A colony just can’t rebel against Great Britain just to avoid paying taxes!

Nancy Pelosi @NancyPelosi

Our founding fathers wanted to pay higher taxes. That’s what the Tea Act was all about.  We asked King George to implement it.

Nancy Pelosi @NancyPelosi

How dare you question my knowledge of history.  I’m a Democrat!  I am educated more than you.

Nancy Pelosi @NancyPelosi

If George Washington wasn’t a bitter white man clinging to guns and religion he would have raised income taxes as President.  

Here Ms. Pelosi tweets about the Civil War.

Nancy Pelosi @NancyPelosi

Republican plantation owners resisted abolition!  It was Abe Lincoln, a Democrat, who had to free peoples of color.

Nancy Pelosi @NancyPelosi

Ulysses S. Grant hid runaway slaves in his beard and brought them north to safety. Let’s see the House Republican leadership do that!

Ms. Pelosi talks about sexual politics.

Nancy Pelosi @NancyPelosi

Why didn’t James Bond sleep with Miss Moneypenny?  Did right-wing, intolerant Christians succeed in making him feel conflicted about his homosexuality?

Nancy Pelosi @NancyPelosi

Is Penis-in-Vagina sex normal? Biology says no.  House Republicans disagree. House Republicans stop your war on women!

Nancy Pelosi @NancyPelosi

My husband tried to touch me last night.  I raised his taxes.

The Bible also comes in for the Pelosi treatment.

Nancy Pelois @NancyPelosi

Was Jesus a man? Science says no and the science is settled.

Nancy Pelosi @NancyPelosi

Give to Caesar what is Caesars.  Here Jesus is clearly arguing for higher taxes.

Nancy Pelosi @Nancy Pelosi

You like your resurrection?  Under our healthcare plan you can keep your resurrection.

Nancy Pelosi @NancyPelosi

This day thou shalt be with me in paradise.  Here Jesus is talking about socialism.

Those are just a sampling of the tweets from this raving madwoman.  I don’t know who she is but let’s just hope she never gets elected to office.

What?  Oh shit!

Your 2014 Yankees: The Police State USA Edition

“That’s baseball, and it’s my game. Y’ know, you take your worries to the game, and you leave ’em there. You yell like crazy for your guys. It’s good for your lungs, gives you a lift, and nobody calls the cops. Pretty girls, lots of ’em.” ~Humphrey Bogart

Right fielder Jose Bautista is an asshole, but you probably already knew that.

Toronto Right fielder Jose Bautista is an asshole, but you probably already knew that.

On a rare Saturday 4 pm start I traveled to the Bronx (after getting up at 4 am to get to work and finishing my shift) to see the Yankees play the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Yankees started Chris Capuano (2-4 4.67) and while Toronto countered with Marcus Stroman (11-6 3.77).

Toronto got on the board in the top of the first Jose “Yes, I am an asshole” Bautista on an 0-2 count singled to left field.  The next batter Edwin “I too am an asshat but not as big as Bautista” Encarnacion on a 1-2 count doubled to center field scoring Bautista.  1-0 Toronto after a half inning.

The Yankees tied the score in the bottom of the third. Derek Jeter singled and went to second on a wild pitch.  Brian “I may suck but not at bad at Teixeira” McCann then singled him home. Tie score after three innings.

The Yanks briefly held the lead when in the bottom of the fourth on a 1-2 count Chase Headley singled to right field.  Ichiro Suzuki then hit a blooper that was just out of reach of shortstop Jose Reyes, moving Headley to second.  On a 2-1 count Francisco Cervelli singled home Headley.  2-1 Yankees after four.

Unfortunately that would be the last time the Yankees had the lead.

Capuano pitched effectively but simply ran out of gas in the sixth.  Jose “Needs repeating: This man is an asshole” Bautista led off with a walk. Encarnacion on a 2-2 count singled and Bautista went to third on second baseman Stephen Drew’s throwing error. After a Dioner Navarro walked loaded the bases Danny Valencia hit a ground rule double scoring Bautista and Encarnacion. John Mayberry Jr, (son of the great John Mayberry) hit a sacrifice fly scoring Navarro.   4-2 Toronto after 5 1/2.

Toronto scored again in the top of the seventh when the asshole Bautista homered on a 2-1 pitch to right field.  5-2 Toronto after 6 1/2.

And Toronto scored one more time in the top of the ninth and the Yankees scored once more in the bottom of the ninth (thanks to retiring hero Derek Jeter.)

Final score:  Toronto 6 Yankee 3.

Note on the game:

The Derek Jeter retirement tour continues.  (Jeesh this guy will do anything to get his mind off of losing Minka Kelly.)

Is this woman the reason Derek Jeter went 0-28?

Is this woman the reason Derek Jeter went 0-28?

Jeter went 2-5, driving in a run while only striking out once.  The usual flags around Yankee Stadium were replaced with pinstripe flags with the number “2” on them.  The Yankees also are wearing number “2” on their uniforms.  I’m not sure I approve of this.

The transformation of America into a police state continues as I had to go through a metal detector to enter the ballpark.

Bend over and enjoy it America because you are taking it up the ass!

Bend over and enjoy it America because you are taking it up the ass!

It’s for our protection of course and not because the so-called security industry is a multi-billion dollar business.  And certainly not because the two worst presidents in U.S. history, Bush 43 and Bush 44 (the current occupant of the White House) are in bed with big business.  Get used to it America.  Bend over and enjoy it.  Starting next year all Major League ballparks will have metal detectors installed at all entrances.  For our protection, you see.

Random thought:  If Dracula were to attend a baseball game and eat too many hot dogs would that be a full count?  Thank you.  I’m here all week people.  Tip your waitress and drive home safely.

Here is video of Derek Jeter flying out to right field. (Hey, at least he didn’t ground out into a double play.)

IMG_3167

The Manhattan Infidel heckel of the game:

My heckle of “We both are, and know that we are, and delight in our being, and our knowledge of it. Moreover, in these three things no true-seeming illusion disturbs us; for we do not come into contact with these by some bodily sense, as we perceive the things outside of us of all which sensible objects it is the images resembling them, but not themselves which we perceive in the mind and hold in the memory, and which excite us to desire the objects” didn’t fire up the crowd.  Perhaps I must shorten my heckles in the future.

Recommended reading material:

Toronto Blue Jay Right Field Jose Bautista is an asshole.  (Note: There is no such book but there should be.)

You may be asking why is Jose Bautista (pictured here)

Jose Bautista is an asshole.

Jose Bautista is a jackass

an asshole?  Simply this:  After he caught a pop up to end the inning he turned around and pretended he was going to through the ball to a kid in the stands.  Instead he stopped, taunting the stands and running back to the dugout, disappointing a young kid who thought he was going to get a souvenir.  When Jose Bautista retires there will be no “respect” commercials made for him.

Reader mail:

A.P of Poughkeepsie writes, “I delight in my being.”

Just close the blinds when you do it, son.

L.K. of New Jersey writes, “I delighted in my being once.  It made me feel funny.  I got sick and cried.”

Walk it off son.  When you have these feelings keep yourself busy.

Someone who calls herself  L.T. of New York writes, “I have photos of celebrities delighting in their being.  I can sell them to you.”

I wouldn’t think of doing something so offensive.  Unless it was a picture of Olivia Wilde delighting in her being.

My record this year stands at 5-9.  My next and last game of the year is Wednesday September 24th against the winners of the American League East, the Baltimore Orioles.

Go Yankees!

Frankenstein Joins Match!

Hi sexy.  Let's get together and create our own chemistry!

Hi sexy. Let’s get together and create our own chemistry!

The Frankenstein monster, tired of being single and dissatisfied with the women he was meeting has joined the online dating community Match.Com

“I was hesitant to join” says the monster.

Online dating frankly has such a bad reputation but a friend of mine, the Mummy, said I should give it a try so I joined.  We’ll see what happens.

The monster decided to join in part because of a recent bad experience with a woman he was set up with.

I told Dr. Frankenstein, who created me, that I was lonely and needed a companion. He said he would create a woman for me.  Naturally I was excited.  Woman. Friend. Wife.  So he creates her and introduces us. I was very attracted to her.  She was a babe as they say.  My heart was pounding and I kept saying to myself, “Monster, don’t blow this.  Take it slow.”  So I took her hand and said, “Friend?”

Do you like making love at midnight?

Do you like making love after midnight?

I wanted her to know I wasn’t just after one thing.  Instead she screamed. She hate me. Like others!

After that unfortunate experience the Monster swore off women for awhile, burying himself in books.  But eventually the pull to have a life partner returned.  With nothing left to lose he set up his Match profile.

Look I’m not expecting much.  I don’t have a lot of money.  I’m not particularly athletic or handsome.  And I have no soul.   The no soul thing is a deal breaker with lots of women.  But on the plus side I’m tall and I’ve been told that I’m stoic and woman like that.  Whatever stoic means. The hardest part was coming up with my primary profile photo.  I had to take selfies because whenever I asked someone to take a photo of me they started screaming.  Come on.  I’m not that ugly.  You’d think I was Neil Young or Tom Petty for Christ’s sake. But I finally took one of me smiling.  

I like long walks on the beach and staying active.

I like long walks on the beach and staying active.

I’ve been told I have an attractive smile. The hardest part was what to say about myself.  I’ve lived a pretty sheltered life.  Created in a laboratory.  Hunted by angry villagers.  But I do like long walks and talking about my feelings. Well, technically that’s not true.  I hate talking about my feelings.  But women all want a man who will.  Personally I think people talk to much.

In the coming weeks the Monster hopes to pad his profile with pictures of himself playing sports or posing in front of monuments at exotic locations.

I don’t play sports and I haven’t traveled the globe but I should be able to Photoshop a few of me in front of the Colosseum or that Christ statue in South America.   

The monster plans on giving Match a few months before giving up on women entirely.

“Hell, maybe I was just meant to be alone.   There are worse things.  At least I won’t have to talk about my feelings with myself.”

Manhattan Infidel’s Guide to Self-Defense

A few simple rules of self-defense will keep you safe.  Unless your attacked by a coked up Charlie Sheen.

A few simple rules of self-defense will keep you safe. Unless you’re attacked by a coked up Charlie Sheen.

Here at the Worldwide Headquarters of Manhattan Infidel™ I often find myself worrying about my readers.  It is a dangerous world out there and bad things happen.  And I don’t mean just the bad things that happen involving Charlie Sheen, cocaine, questionable hair plugs and a trannie hooker.

I care about the well-being and safety of my readers (even the ones who haven’t sent me nude selfies.)  So without further delay I now present Manhattan Infidels Quick and Easy Guide to Self-Defense.  (Self-Defense currently available in continental United States until its get outlawed.)

  • Never Go With an Assailant to a Second Location

This simple rule of self-defense is often overlooked. Let me give you a personal example.  Once on a Saturday during football season my girl asked me to take her to her mothers where she had to drop something off.  I consented.  I figured it wouldn’t take long and I’d be back on the couch watching football in no time. But after visiting her mother she asked me to take her shopping for shoes.  I missed the noon, 3:30 and prime time college football games.  To recap:  Never go with an assailant, or girlfriend, to a second location.   This goes double if your assailant, or girlfriend, is a drummer.  Or a hippie.  Or a hippie drummer.

  • Never Give Up Your Rudimentary Lathe

This cannot be stressed enough.  Lathes are the key to survival. Those who have lathes and know how to build even a rudimentary one will live.  Darwin called it natural selection.  Instead turn the tables on your attacker. Shame him with your superior lathe technology.  As your assailant stands bewildered hit him over the head with the baseball bat you have constructed with your lathe.  (Assuming you have a woodworking lathe.  If perchance you have a metalworking lathe then construct a robot to kill your assailant.)

  • Never Get in a Car With Your Assailant

Nothing good will come of this.  If you are asked to get in a car with him refuse. Especially if your assailant is a drummer.  Or a hippie.  Or a hippie drummer. Or a hippie drummer who doubles as a bassist. If you must get in the car with him ask if you can put your rudimentary lathe in the trunk. It will come in handy later when you get to your location.  Tell your assailant that you can use your lathe to construct him a drum kit.  This will buy you time while you secretly construct a baseball bat to hit him over the head with.

  • Never Let Someone Tie You Up

At some point your assailant may want to tie you up.  Do not let this happen. Unless your assailant is Kate Upton.  I mean I’ve written Kate Upton telling her that she can tie me up anytime but all I got in return was a letter from her lawyer threatening legal action.  Repeating:  Do not let your assailant tie you up.  Especially if it’s a hippie drummer/bassist who has seen your lathe and is enraged by your superior lathe skills.

  • Run!  Run Away From Your Assailant!

Run away from your assailant the first chance you get.  Hippie drummer/bassists are not known for speed.  If he has a Mohawk it will catch the breeze further slowing him down.  Run to the nearest police precinct and give them a description of your attacker.  Just don’t mention your lathe, as your lathe may be interpreted as an assault weapon and you will be arrested.

  • Is it Ever Acceptable to go With Your Assailant to a Second Location?

Yes, but only if your assailant is a Hipster and wishes to share his superior beard-grooming technology, in which case a beard-grooming for lathe swap is acceptable.

There you have it readers.  Let’s be safe out there.

Drone Strike Ordered on White House After Security Breach

Tea baggers strike at the heart of America

Tea baggers strike at the heart of America

The White House was put on lockdown after a toddler squeezed through the security gate and ran onto the North Lawn.

“We saw unauthorized movement on the North Lawn” said a Secret Service agent.

We had a brief moment of panic because we didn’t know the identity of the transgressor.  Was it a teabagger?  What did this person want?  What sort of threat did they present? Fortunately we train for moments like this.  Agents immediately responded by unlimbering their automatic weapons and running out onto the lawn. We saw what looked like a midget.  It was probably a midget teabagger, the most dangerous kind. We surrounded the midget and told him to surrender.  He didn’t appear to understand us and started crying.  Then he asked for his mother.  I never knew teabaggers were such momma’s boys.

Secret service agents shot the midget teabagger as his mother cried, “My boy!  Don’t harm my boy!”

As the midget teabagger terrorist lay motionless on the lawn agents ascertained that he was dead.  Agents then attached explosives to the body.

We didn’t know whether the midget teabagger was booby trapped.  He might have exploded on us as we were transporting the body to the morgue.  Naturally we could not put the safety of our fellow officers at risk.  So it was decided to kinetically dismember him on the lawn.  

As the midget teabagger’s “parents” (probably fellow terrorists) cried inconsolably (probably because their nefarious plan was thwarted) his body was detonated.

Concerned that this was the beginning of a larger plan to strike terror into America agents evacuated the President.

Our first priority is the safety of the President.  We moved him to an unknown location.  We then ordered a drone strike on the White House.  The Executive Mansion is, naturally, a valuable target for our enemies.  If we destroyed it they would lose the target.

Not wanting to leave anything to chance, six separate drones homed in on the White House and delivered their payload, destroying the White House under smoke and rubble.

This was a good first step but with the White House gone they might try to harm the Capitol Building.  We had no choice but to order a drone strike on it. Fortunately only the Republican caucus was in the building at the time.

With the Capitol destroyed, agents met with Homeland Security officials to plot their next step.

In conjunction with Homeland Security it was decided to take out the entire city of Washington.  Why leave it in existence and vulnerable to teabagger attack?

A nuclear bomb was then dropped on the Capitol leaving it a pile of radioactive  debris.

Naturally we were pleased with how much safer we had made the city.  But with Washington denied to terrorists where would they strike next?  With the safety of all Americans foremost on our minds we decided to nuke the entire eastern seaboard. It was a difficult decision but a necessary one.  We take our oath very seriously.

With the eastern seaboard destroyed and safer attention was turned to the west coast.

Once the west coast was destroyed  we decided to take out the rest of the country. The only way to avoid terrorist attack is ensure that the United States is no longer a prime target.  With most of the continental U.S. now under a radioactive cloud we have ensured the safety of Americans.  The ones that are still alive that is.

With the Senate and House of Representatives safe out of harm’s way the new government’s first order of business will be rounding up radiation scarred mutants and checking to see if they have health insurance.  Those found to be uninsured will be fined.

My Exclusive Interview with Stephen Hawking

We are all going to die.

We are all going to die.

Today at Manhattan Infidel it is my distinct honor and privilege to interview one of the greatest minds of our generation:  noted physicist Stephen Hawking.

MI: Good afternoon Mr. Hawking.

SH: Good afternoon Manhattan Infidel, or should I call you Manhattan nonbeliever in the deity?

MI: Actually that’s not why I chose the name Infidel.  But onto my first question – 

SH: Are you disagreeing with the greatest mind of his generation?

MI: Um.

SH:  Punk.  My voice box spits on you.

MI: Okay.  Let’s talk about the Higgs Boson.  You were quoted as saying that you were afraid of the Higgs Boson and that the so-called God particle had the potential to destroy the entire universe.

SH: Yes.  This is true.  The Higgs Boson has the potential to become unstable at energies above 100bn  gigaelectronvolts.  This could mean that the universe could undergo a catastrophic vacuum decay, with the bubble of the true vacuum expanding at the speed of light.  We would never see it coming.

MI: A catastrophic vacuum decay.  Just like what happened to my ElectroLux.

SH: I don’t find you funny punk.

MI: Sorry.  So we are all going to die in a vacuum?

SH: Well let me put your stupid, uncouth, nonelite, poorly educated mind at ease. For 100bn gigalectronvolts to be created we would need a particle accelerator the size of the planet Earth.  And with the current political climate I don’t see that happening.

MI: Thank god.

SH: Yes, a typical ignorant comment from a typical ignorant man.  Fortunately I have reached out to the Vulcans who find my proposal to build a giant particle accelerator the size of Earth to be quite logical.

MI: Did you just call me ignorant?

SH: Oh I’m surprised an idiot like you knows what the word means.

MI: I’ll let that pass.  But is that the only way life can possibly end?

SH: No.  There is the “Big Crunch” which is the opposite of the Big Bang where the universe collapses upon itself.  Also there is the Big Rip where dark matter can literally tear the universe the shreds.

MI: Oh aren’t you just the ball of sunshine.  Speaking of the Big Rip, have you seen many of Rip Torn’s movies?  He was great in Men in Black.

SH: You are such a jackass.  A complete clown.  A buffoon.  A goddamn idiot and I will answer no more questions.

MI: Alright I’m getting tired of you insulting me.  Game on!

SH: Come at me bro!

MI: You are going down!

SH: Speaking of going down your girlfriend was great last night.  She thanked me. Said it felt good to finally have a man.

MI: I’m going to rip your f*cking head off! 

[Manhattan Infidel lunges at Stephen Hawking who manages to move his breath-activated wheelchair out of the way.]

SH: You are such a loser. I’m going to chew up up and sh*t you out motherf*cker!

[A young, attractive women sees the two fighting and calls for the police]

Woman: Police.  Police.  This man is beating up the other man in the wheelchair!

[Police officers arrive and place Manhattan Infidel in handcuffs.]

MI: Arrest him!  He started it!

[Manhattan Infidel is beaten unconscious by police and dragged away.]

Woman:  Are you alright sir?  Who was that bully?

SH: It’s not important dear, sweet lady.  The only important thing is that we met.  

Woman: You sound intelligent.  

SH: Why don’t you come back to my place.  I’ll let you play with my voice box.

Woman: Oh you are so dirty.  And intelligent. I find intelligence sexy.

SH: I have one request.  Do you know what a rusty trombone is?

[The two leave together.]

I must say that was a very unpleasant interview.  Who knew Stephen Hawking was such an asshole.  I’ll get even.  I will.
