The Gospel of Barack Obama According to Chris Matthews (Part XX)

And Barack shineth in the darkness

And Barack shineth in the darkness

And on the first day of the week, Nancy Pelosi cometh early, when it was dark, unto the banks of the Potomac River, and she was not able to find Barack’s ashes. 

She ran, therefore, and cometh to Joe Biden, and to the other disciple whom Barack loved, and saith to them:  They have taken away Barack’s ashes.  Clearly this is global warming.

Joe Biden therefore went out, and that other disciple, and they came to the Potomac River.  And they both ran together, and that other disciple did outrun Biden, for Biden was out of shape, and came first to the Potomac.

And when he stooped down, he saw a sign that said: Access to Barack’s ashes will be closed due to the government shutdown.

Then cometh Joe Biden, following him, and he slipped and fell into the Potomac.

Then that other disciple also went in, who first came to the river, and he saw the sign, and believed.  For as yet they knew not the DNC’s talking points that he must rise from the dead.

The disciples in the MSM therefore departed again to their luxury homes in lily-white neighborhoods. 

But Nancy Pelosi stood at the banks without, weeping.   Now as she was weeping, she stooped down for her surgically altered face began to droop.  And she saw two park employees in their green park employee uniforms.

They say to her:  Hey droopy face, why weepest thou?  She saith to them:  Because they have taken away my Lord’s ashes, and because of global warming I know not where they have laid them.

When she had thus said, she turned her head around, like Linda Blair in the Exorcist, and saw Barack standing.

Barack saith to her:  Hey droopy face, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She, thinking it was the gardener, saith to him:  Federal employee and probable Democratic voter, tell me where thou has redistributed his ashes.

Barack saith to her:  Nancy. She, turning her head again and freaking everyone out, saith to him:  Democrat (which is to say, Constitutional Scholar).

Barack saith to her:  Do not touch me.  Seriously.  I mean it.  Do not touch me.  Your droopy face is a turn off.  I have not yet ascended to my father, whom I met only once or twice.  

But go to the brethren in the MSM and say to them: I ascend to my father whom I met only once or twice.

Nancy Pelosi cometh, and telleth the disciples in the MSM:  I have seen the Constitutional Scholar.

Now when it was late the same day, the first of the week, and the doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together, for fear of Nancy Pelosi’s hideously surgically altered drooping face, Barack came and stood in the midst, and said to them:  Redistribution be to you.  

And when he had said this he showed them his hands and said: See how clean cut and articulate I am?  The disciples were glad, when they saw the Constitutional Scholar.

He said therefore to them again:  Redistribution be to you.  As the father whom I met only once or twice hath redistributed me, I also redistribute you.

When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them:  Receive ye the Holy Ghost of Redistribution.  And the chili dog I had for lunch.

Whose income you shall redistribute, they are redistributed, and whose income you shall retain, they are retained.

Now Bill Maher, one of the disciples in the MSM, was not with them when Barack came for he was having sex with trannies.  The other disciples therefore said to him:  We have seen the Constitutional Scholar.  But he said to them:  Except I shall see in his hands how clean cut and articulate he is, I will not believe.

And after eight days again his disciples were within for fear of Nancy Pelosi’s face, and Bill Maher with them.  Barack cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in their midst, and said, Redistribution be to you.  Then he saith to Maher:  See my clean cut hands and face; and be not faithless, but believing.

Bill Maher answered, and said to him:  My Constitutional Scholar and fellow Democrat.

Barack saith to him: Because thou hast seen me, Maher, thou has believed:  blessed are they that have not been with trannies, and have believed.

Many other things did Barack redistribute in the sight of his disciples, which Bill Ayers has not written in this book.  

But these are written, that you may believe that Barack is the Lord of Redistribution: and that believing, you may have redistribution in his name and have positions of power in the Federal government.

Fight Night! Obama Battles Economy in Steel Cage Death Match!

It's President Obama against the U.S. economy.  Who will win?

It’s President Obama against the U.S. economy. Who will win?

The Scene:  Friday night, somewhere in America.

First Announcer:  Welcome to fight night. We have an exciting match for you.  Tonight President Obama will be fighting the United States Economy in a steel cage death match.

Second Announcer:Yes and as you know there has been a history of bad blood between these opponents.

First Announcer:This all started when Obama called the U.S. economy “vulgar and capitalist” and vowed to replace it with a socialist worker’s paradise.

Second Announcer:  That didn’t sit well with the economy who pointed out his long history of providing the best standard of living on the planet.

First Announcer:  And here come the combatants now.  The crowd is cheering as the two enter the cage and shake hands.

Second Announcer: It’s a welcome display of sportsmanship though as we know the two hate each other.

First Announcer:  Yes they do.  I must say that the economy is looking a little banged up and worse for the wear.

Second Announcer:  He’s never really recovered from the two stimulus packages of Bush and Obama.

First Announcer:  That and continued government regulation have tied his hands.

Second Announcer:  Literally.  The economy is having his hands tied behind his back by Senate Majority leader Harry Reid.

First Announcer:  Normally even with his hands tied behind his back I’d say the economy was an overwhelming favorite, especially since Obama is looking kind of scrawny.

Second Announcer:  Yes but don’t underestimate his ability to duck and weave. That and the interference the press runs for him might leave him unscathed and victorious.

First Announcer:  And the fight begins.  The economy and Obama are circling one another, sizing each other up.

Second Announcer:  And here comes the press.  They are forming a protective line around the President.

First Announcer:  The economy is clearly frustrated. He can’t get near Obama to land a blow.  Obama might emerge unscathed.

Second Announcer:  Obama has just announced his intention to fund a third stimulus.

First Announcer:  The economy is getting a little wobbly.  Clearly he never saw that blow coming.  I have to hand it to Obama.  He’s a clever, ruthless opponent who will stop at nothing to kill the economy.

First Announcer:  Now Obama is announcing an executive order raising the minimum wage to $20 an hour.

Second Announcer:  Look at the economy. He looks ready to throw in the towel.

Second Announcer:  And it looks like Obama is going for the jugular.  He’s gone to a podium in the corner and is announcing new EPA clean air regulations.

First Announcer:  This might be the death blow we were looking for. Under these new regulations all coal plants in the United States will be forced out of business.  

Second Announcer:  A very good move by Obama.  By cloaking destroying the economy under the moral cause of combating climate change he has made it virtually impossible to fight the new regulations.

First Announcer:  And the economy is down!  The economy goes down!

Second Announcer:  The referee is counting to ten.  It doesn’t look like the economy will be able to get back up.

First Announcer;  And that’s it. The fight is over!  The ref has declared Obama the winner.

Second Announcer:  Trainers are attending to the economy.  He might be more seriously injured than we thought.

First Announcer:  I think he’s dead.

Second Announcer:  Yes, they are putting a sheet over the economy.  The economy is dead.

First Announcer:  He was a proud warrior but his time had come.  There was no room for him in the socialist worker’s paradise.

Second Announcer:  The press have Obama on their shoulders and are carrying him around the cage for a victory lap.

First Announcer:  A well deserved one at that.

Second Announcer:  That about wraps it up here.  Join us next week when Donald Sterling will battle the NBA in the steel cage.

First Announcer:  That should be a great fight.

Your 2014 Yankees: Bring the Suck On!

“What is both surprising and delightful is that spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part of the game…. There is no reason why the field should not try to put the batsman off his stroke at the critical moment by neatly timed disparagements of his wife’s fidelity and his mother’s respectability.” ~George Bernard Shaw

You can see the suck for miles

You can see the suck for miles

And so on a Friday night in The Bronx (where Bugs Bunny got his accent) the Yankees came home from their road trip to play the Minnesota Twins.

The Yankees started Vidal Nuno (1-2 5.48) and the Twins Ricky “Lucy I’m home!’ Nolasco (3-5 5.70).

The entire day had been beautiful and sunny.  That of course could only mean one thing:  It would start pouring once the game started.  Which it did.  So Manhattan Infidel had the privilege of seeing the suck in the rain.

The Twins scored in the top of the second when Oswaldo Arcia (legend has it that one of Arcia’s ancestors lost the “G” in his last name while crossing the Rio Grande) homered in the second.   1-0 Twins after  1 1/2.

In the bottom of the third the Yankees (see the suck!) tied the score.   Backup catcher John Ryan Murphy led off with a single.  Brett Gardner hit a grounder that forced out Murphy. Because of Gardner’s speed he was able to avoid the double play.  He went to third when Derek Jeter grounded out.  Gardner then scored when Jacoby Ellsbury doubled.  1-1 after three.

In the top of the fourth the Twins scored three times.  Josh Willingham hit an 0-2 pitch into monument park in Center Field.  After Owaldo (G)arcia singled to center field, Trevor Plouffe  (what a ploof!) homered.  4-1 Twins after 3 1/2.

In the top of the 8th Joe Mauer led off with a single.  After Willingham and (G)arcia struck out Plouffe walked.  Kurt Suzuki then singled to right fielder Ichiro Suzuki, scoring Mauer.  Former Yankee future shortstop Eduardo Nunez singled to left field scoring Plouffe.  6-1 Twins after 7 1/2.  And that was the final score.

Notes on the game:

As previously mentioned today marked the return of the Yankees’ former future shortstop Eduardo Nunez.  To commemorate the event the first 5,000 in attendance were given an error by the official scorer.

Friday’s game also featured the return of the Yankees former starter Phil  Hughes.  Phil will be pitching on Sunday.  Though while sitting in the Twins dugout Friday night he did give up 12 home runs.

Brett Gardner stole two bases.  Or, in the parlance of Obama’s America, he redistributed them.

Mark Teixeira walked three times:  #White Privilege.

Celebrity sightings:

Well, I, the Manhattan Infidel,  was at the game.  Does that count?

The Manhattan Infidel heckle of the game:

My heckle of  “This is Tokyo. Once a city of six million people. What has happened here was caused by a force which up until a few days ago was entirely beyond the scope of Man’s imagination. Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world!’  didn’t fire up the crowd.  Personally I think this was Raymond Burr’s greatest role.  (Godzilla alert.)

Reader mail:

(Oh who am I kidding.  Manhattan Infidel never gets mail.  So as usual I’ll just make it up.)

L.K. of New Jersey writes, “My mohawk makes me fall at a 60 degree angle.”

That would break all the laws of physics.  Then again, so does your mohawk.

A.P. of Poughkeepsie writes, “tommy gun/you ain’t happy less you got one/tommy gun/ain’t gonna shoot the place up/just for fun”

Son, don’t make me call Governor Cuomo.   There is no place for people like you in the socialist workers’ paradise of New York State.

The infamous reprobate known as M.B. of Brooklyn writes, “I have lost my faith in the deity known as Cotton Eye Joe.”

Well that’s understandable.

The infamous reprobate known as M.B. of Brooklyn also writes, “I never said that!’

Yes you did.

The infamous reprobate known as M.B. of Brooklyn writes yet again, “Look, don’t start with this shit.  I told you last year not to put words into my mouth. Do it again and I will have my husband beat you up.”

He’ll have to find me first.  Much like Vincent from Beauty and the Beast (the 1980s version) I come from a secret place, far below the city streets, hiding my face from strangers, safe from hate and harm.

That is until Monday when I go back to work.

Recommended reading material:

Common Sense by Thomas Paine.

My record this year (embrace the suck!) stands at 0-4.

My next game is Wednesday June 4th against the Oakland Athletics.

Go Yankees!

The Gospel of Barack Obama According to Chris Matthews (Part XIX)

And Barack shineth in the darkness

And Barack shineth in the darkness

Then therefore, Jeb Bush took Barack and had him scourged.  And the teabaggers platting a crown of thorns, for they watched Game of Thrones a lot on TV, put it upon his head; and they put on him a purple garment.

And they came to him and said:  Hail, king of redistribution, and they gave him blows, for he was our first gay president.

Jeb Bush went forth again, and saith to them:  Behold, I bring him forth unto you, that you may know that I find no cause in him, seeing as he believes in big government just like me.

And he saith to him:  Behold the man.  Though he might be the next evolutionary step in mankind, as he is so smart.

When the teabaggers, therefore, had seen him, they cried out saying:  execute him with a lethal mixture of intravenous drugs.

Jeb Bush saith to them:  Take him you and inject him: for I find no cause in my fellow believer in big government.

The teabaggers answered him:  We are racist; and according to our racism he ought to die.

When Jeb Bush therefore had heard this saying, he feared the non-elite Republicans the more.

And he entered the hall again, and he said to Barack:  Whence art thou?  But Barack gave him no answer, being a citizen of the world.

Jeb Bush therefore, saith to him:  Speakest thou not to me?  Knowest thou not that I have power to execute you?

Barack answered:  Thou shouldest not have any power against me, because federalism is dead.

And from henceforth because he feared the power of the Federal government Jeb Bush sought to release him.

But the teabaggers cried out, saying:  If thou release this man, thou shalt not get the 2016 Republican nomination.

Now when Jeb Bush had heard these words, he brought Barack forth and he saith to the teabaggers:  behold the king of redistribution.

But they cried out:  Away with him; away with him; inject him with a mixture of intravenous drugs that will kill him. Jeb Bush saith to them:  Shall I kill the Constitutional scholar?

The teabaggers answered:  We are racist.

Then therefore he delivered him to them to be executed by lethal injection.

And they took Barack, and led him forth.

And bearing his own needle, he went forth to the execution table, where they executed him by lethal injection.

And Jeb Bush wrote a title.  And the writing was  BARACK OF CHICAGO, OR HAWAII OR INDONESIA OR KENYA, THE CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLAR.

The title therefore many of the teabaggers did read.

Then the chief racists of the teabaggers said to Jeb Bush: write not, The Constitutional Scholar; but that he said, I am the Constitutional scholar.

Afterwards, Barack knowing that all things were now accomplished by the hands of the all powerful and efficient Federal government, said:  I need a cheeseburger and a beer but don’t tell Michelle.

Now there were some Wendy’s fries.  And they put it to his mouth.

Barack therefore, when he had taken the fries, said:  Delicious, but don’t tell Michelle.  And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost.

And after these things, Eric Cantor (a disciple of big government, but secretly for fear of the teabaggers) besought Jeb Bush that he might take away the body of Barack.

He took therefore the body of Barack and had it cremated since that is better for the environment, and Eric Cantor cares about the environment, not like the racist teabaggers.

Now he took the ashes to the Potomac River, wherein he redistributed them.

President Barack Obama Addresses West Point Graduates

The stuff I suggest is different that the stuff other people suggest

The stuff I suggest is different that the stuff other people suggest

It is an American tradition: the President of the United States gives the speech to the graduating class at the United States Military Academy at West Point.  In keeping with Manhattan Infidel’s mission statement of avoiding another embarrassing morals charge providing my readers with the latest news I now present the transcript of President Obama’s speech.

I’d like to acknowledge the Army’s leadership — General McHugh — Secretary McHugh, General Odierno, as well as Senator Jack Reed who is here and a proud graduate of West Point himself.  They are all fine examples of white privilege.

Among you is the first all-female command team: Erin Mauldin and Austen Boroff.   How those two ever made it through four years here without being raped is beyond me.  Because we all know the military has a culture of rape.  

I know you join me in extending a word of thanks to your families.  Though we must admit that the family is another manifestation of white privilege.

When I first spoke at West Point in 2009, we still had more than 100,000 troops in Iraq. We were preparing to surge in Afghanistan. And our nation was just beginning a long climb out of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

Four and a half years later, as you graduate, the landscape has changed. I’ve been on the View.  I’ve been on Jay Leno.  I’ve been on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. And that stuff is important.  Now if only Republicans would raise the minimum wage we might get out of this recession.

Those who suggest that America is in decline or has seen its global leadership slip away are either watching Fox News or engaged in partisan politics, like the Republicans who refuse to raise the minimum wage or extend early voting so Mexicans can have more time to vote Democratic.

When a typhoon hits the Philippines, or schoolgirls are kidnapped in Nigeria, or masked men occupy a building in Ukraine, it is America that the world looks to for help.  And we hashtagged the enemy.  

Boko Harum is the enemy.  Hashtag into them. Hashtag their blood. Hashtag them in the belly.  I want you to hashtag the enemy like crap through a goose.

Russia’s aggression towards former Soviet states unnerves capitals in Europe while China’s economic rise and military reach worries its neighbors.  They look to America for leadership.  And when I’m not on the golf course I use my soaring rhetoric to shame the Russians and Chinese.

The question we face, the question each of you will face, is not whether America will lead but how far behind can we lead.

I believe we have a real stake — abiding self-interest — in making sure our children and our grandchildren grow up in a world where schoolgirls are not kidnapped; female genitally mutilated yes, because that is a noble tradition in my home of Kenya. I mean Hawaii.  A world where individuals aren’t slaughtered because of tribe or faith or political belief.  Unless they are conservatives.  Or Catholics opposing the contraception mandate in the Affordable Healthcare Act.

I believe that a world of greater freedom and tolerance is a moral imperative; We are all free to believe as the government tells us to.

U.S. military action cannot be the only — or even primary — component of our leadership.  I believe in the power of the hashtag.

First, let me repeat a principle I put forward at the outset of my presidency: The United States will use military force, unilaterally if necessary, when our core interests demand it — when our people are threatened; when our livelihoods are at stake; when the security of our allies is in danger.  Just like I did in Syria.  I mean Benghazi.  I mean, um.  Next point.

International opinion matters, but America should never ask permission to protect our people, our homeland or our way of life. And by not asking permission I mean getting permission from the United Nations.

On the other hand, when issues of global concern do not pose a direct threat to the United States, when such issues are at stake, when crises arise that stir our conscience or push the world in a more dangerous direction but do not directly threaten us, then I will intervene if I think it’ll help me in the polls.

This leads to my second point. For the foreseeable future, the most direct threat to America, at home and abroad, remains terrorism.  And by terrorism I mean the Tea Party and the second amendment.

We need partners to fight the tea party among us. And empowering the DEA and EPA is a large part of what we have done and what we are currently doing.

Let me make one final point about our efforts against the tea party. The partnerships I’ve described do not eliminate the need to take direct action when necessary to protect ourselves.  And that is why I have authorized the IRS to audit tea party members.

When we have actionable intelligence, we act through drone strikes, like those we’ve carried out in Kansas and Texas.  I mean Yemen and Somalia.

Despite frequent warnings from the United States and Israel and others, the Iranian nuclear program steadily advanced for years. Thank god Islam is the religion of peace or I’d be really worried.

Keep in mind, not all international norms relate directly to armed conflict. We have a serious problem with cyberattacks, which is why the home page on my computer was changed to Naked Pakistani Men.  I swear I don’t look at that stuff.

I believe in American exceptionalism with every fiber of my being. Except for the fibers of my being from Kenya.

We should not expect change to happen overnight.  For my entire presidency each night I go to the Atlantic Ocean and check to see if the sea level has receded.  It hasn’t. I blame the Koch brothers.

 Next week I will go to Normandy to apologize for the Americans who stormed the beaches there.  We acted unilaterally and without German support.

 We have faced trials that were not foreseen and we’ve seen divisions about how to move forward. But after the Tea Party is eliminated we won’t have divisions.

May God bless you. May God bless our men and women in uniform. And may God bless Kenya.  I mean the United States.

Wow.  I think President Obama has outdone himself with his rhetorical skills.  We can all learn a thing or two from this great man.

Membership Has Privileges!

Thank you for being outraged!

Thank you for being outraged!

Dear Sir:

Enclosed please find your membership card for the National Organization of Outraged Progressives.  Thank you for joining us.

As you may know the National Organization of Outraged Progressives has for almost half a decade been at the forefront of spotting white privilege in all shapes and forms.

It was the National Organization of Outraged Progressives that stopped a local lemonade stand from selling its wares.  Why?  They would only sell light colored lemonade and not the darker flavors.

It was the National Organization of Outraged Progressives that stopped a two-year old from sucking on his pacifier.  Why?  Because the pacifier was white and was a stand-in for a white nipple.  Perhaps this child thought he was too good for a black nipple?    Most likely the child, born of white privilege wanted to suck at the teat of the inborn racism of privileged Caucasian peoples.

It was the National Organization of Outraged Progressives that petitioned the surviving Beatles to rename the “White Album” the “Album of Color.”

It was the National Organization of Outraged Progressives that has forced many Walmarts to close when they are in neighborhoods populated by the victims of color.  Sure this means that the local peoples of color will be without a convenient and cheap place to shop but they can rest secure in the knowledge that they are not contributing to Walmart’s war machine.

It was the National Organization of Outraged Progressives that forced retailers to rename Black Friday “Beautiful Friday.”  Why? Because we could not longer watch the beautiful peoples of color have their name dragged through the mud.

And it was the National Organization of Outraged Progressives that got power companies to start calling black outs “temporary cessations of white privilege.”  Why?  I don’t know.  Even we aren’t sure about that one.  But anyway……

With your membership card to NOOP you will receive many benefits.  Just show your card at any approved Occupy movement or television news headquarters.

Being a member of NOOP means you care about equality.  And as a member you will no longer have to wait in line!  That’s right.  As others are busy painting their protest signs, your NOOP membership card gives you access to our prepackaged outrage signs.

And remember, every time you use a pre-approved, specially hand-painted NOOP outrage sign you get frequent outrage bonus points.

If you accumulate enough outrage points you can cash those in for 50% off any purchase at a participating Walmart!

Remember:  Membership has privileges.

Just not White Privilege.

Presidential Hashtags Through the Years

#braveyrequiresnoactionsthatmightendangerme

#Bravery Requires No Action That Might Endanger Me

While our brave president’s brave wife using hashtag diplomacy to pressure Boko Harum to release the 250 Nigerian schoolgirls they have kidnapped may seem novel, in reality hashtags have a long and storied career in U.S diplomacy.

The first known use of a hashtag is credited to Alexander Hamilton, who shortly after his duel with Aaron Burr created the hashtag, #Ouch.

“As he was being rowed back to Manhattan after the duel witnesses saw him write that on a paper” said a historian of the Hamilton-Burr duel.  The#Ouch hashtag became something of a craze and was often used by Lewis and Clark while shooting Indians.

When the British burned Washington D.C during the War of 1812, President James Madison created the hashtag #Can You Burn Philadelphia Next?

“The hashtag was very popular and was seen as an example of Madison’s plucky sense of humor” according to one of his biographers.

Philadelphians didn’t appreciate it and countered with the hashtag #Shut Up Shorty.

In 1841 newly-elected Whig President William Henry Harrison popularized the #Wh hashtag.

Presidential historians have often debated as to the meaning of #Wh with the most common theory being that he died before he could write the rest.

The Civil War was something of a high water mark in the history of American hashtags.

Abraham Lincoln is perhaps best known for his #I Hate the Theater hashtag.  Confederate president Jefferson Davis had #Bring Back Our Slaves while Stonewall Jackson had #Night Reconnaissance is a bad idea and Ulysses S. Grant of course popularized the simple yet eloquent, #Whiskey!

After the Civil War the practice of using hashtags fell into desuetude until World War II when, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, FDR started the #Whoops Didn’t See That One Coming hashtag.

Harry Truman had #Just Drop the Bomb, Baby.

Lyndon Johnson had #Land War in Asia?  What Could go Wrong?

Richard Nixon’s hashtag of #Pardon Me led directly to Gerald Ford’s #You Sure I Won’t Pay For This in the Polls?

But the king of hashtags had to be Bill Clinton.  Some of his more famous ones include #Suck It, #Impeach This! and #Bring Back Some Young Girls.  Admittedly this wasn’t as eloquent as Michell Obama’s #Bring Back Our Girls but it got the job done.

And that brings us to the current occupant of the Oval Office, Barack Obama whose two most famous hashtags are #Definitely Not From Kenya and #Redistribute It!

As for the 45th President Hillary Clinton she has already made #What Difference Does it Make her official hashtag.

So you see,  hashtagging has a long and proud tradition in American politics.

I will leave you with Joe Biden’s official hashtag for his 2016 run:  #Where The Hell Am I?

My Exclusive Interview with Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robertson

He kept sleeping on my side of the bed!

He kept sleeping on my side of the bed!

Today at Manhattan Infidel I have the privilege of interviewing retired Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robertson.  Many know Robertson as the first openly gay bishop, whose ordination nearly resulted in a schism in the worldwide Anglican communion.

MI: Good afternoon Bishop Robertson.

BGR: Good afternoon Manhattan Infidel.  Are you gay?

MI: No but I do enjoy musical theater.

BGR:What?

MI: It’s an old joke.  Anyway, you are openly gay.  When you were ordained bishop you were in a committed relationship with your life partner, Mark Andrew.

BGR:Yes.  The heart wants what the heart wants.  We have been together for 25 years.  He is my soulmate. My helper.  My other.  My husband.

MI: How’s that working out for you?

BGR: We are getting a divorce.

MI: What?  But he was your life partner!

BGR:  Yes.  Well we had the same problems all couples have.  Arguments over money.  Arguments over who will sleep on which side of the bed.  Arguments over whose penis was bigger.  Arguments over who was going to stick their bigger penis into his life partner’s anus.  You know.  The usual.

MI: I see.

BGR: Let me just say that breeder’s have nothing to fear from gay divorce.  It’s perfectly normal and natural, like having your sperm frozen so a woman could be impregnated with your child and carry it to term so my husband and I could raise it together.  Perfectly normal.

MI: Speaking of normal – 

BGR: There is so much more to me. I’m not just a gay bishop. I want to be known as a gay divorced bishop.  A gay divorced bishop who never got a change to stick his obviously larger penis into his life partner’s anus because his husband was such a brute.  Sometimes he made me cry.

MI: The man you are divorcing. You refer to him as your husband.  This means that you are the wife, am I correct?

BGR: Your breeder terminology is offensive.  There is no wife or husband.  We were simply two men who were in love.  So no I was not the so-called wife.  Even though I never got the chance to stick my penis into his anus.  And I was usually on bottom. And I cry a lot.  But that does not make me a wife.

MI: This is your second marriage.  You were married before to a woman.

BGR: Yes. She had a vagina.  At least I think she did.  I never went near that thing. It scared me.

MI: Did she know you were gay during your marriage?

BGR: I don’t think so.  Though when she was performing fellatio on me I would often criticize her technique and say “That’s not how I do it.”  I think that might have tipped her off.

MI:  I see.  Well that would tend to be warning sign if you ask me.

BGR: Don’t get me wrong.  She was happy to get my advice.  Though when I bought a life-size doll and performed fellatio on it to show her the proper technique she got a little upset.

MI: Have you talked to former New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey at all?  He is gay and also trying to become an episcopal priest.

BGR: Don’t talk to me about that bitch!  My penis is clearly bigger but he won’t let me stick it in his anus.  He wants to be dominant. All these dominant men in my life make me want to cry.

MI: That’s about all the questions I have.  

BGR: I need a hug.  

MI: Um.  That’s not going to happen.

BGR: You brute!  You manly brute!  I’m going to cry!

MI: Right.  Well I’m out of here.

BGR: Wait, come back.  Can’t we just comfort each other?

MI: Bye.

Anyway that concluded my interview with the retired bishop.  The bitch.

Brave, Progressive Minneapolis Renames Columbus Day “Indigenous Peoples Day”

Columbus Day celebrates White Privilege and as such is an invalid holiday.

Columbus Day celebrates White Privilege and as such is an invalid holiday.

Braving the ridicule it knew it was going to get from the unprogressive, the white privileged, the white Hispanic murderers of black men, the abled and others too despicable to mention, the Minneapolis City Council voted unanimously to change Columbus Day to “Indigenous Peoples Day.”

The official resolution read in part:

The city of Minneapolis recognizes the annexation of the Dakota homelands to build our city and knows that indigenous peoples have lived on this land since time immemorial.*

Betsy Hodges, the mayor of Minneapolis praised the City Council and pledged that this is just the first step.

Look at our holidays.  Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving.  What do they have in common?  I mean besides we all get days off? They celebrate our racist history.  A history that came at the expense of the non-enabled, the non-breeders and the non-patriarchal.  Easter will be renamed “Spring Solstice Day” to highlight the important contributions Wiccans have made to our history.  Christmas and Thanksgiving are just too disgusting for me.  Even if we rename them their racist past shines through so the City of Minneapolis will just not celebrate or indeed even mention those days, racist and despicable as they are.

Also on the chopping block will be Valentines Day, St. Patrick’s Day and New Year’s Eve.

Valentines Day traditionally has been used to promote rape by the patriarchy and promote a certain brand of so-called physical beauty in the oppressed and man-raped womyn.  St. Patrick was a white male of northern European origin who, while there is at the moment no historical evidence that he owned black slaves I feel confident in saying that he did.  I’m sure that he did.  New Year’s Eve is a time for the white male patriarchy to celebrate another year of keeping the Vagina’d, the peoples of color and the vagina’d of color down.  These three days will be abolished. It makes me feel good about myself to do this.

Mayor Hodges has also started the hash tag #We support indigenous races and will have all city offices put banners up to that effect.

When asked if she will be giving the land that Minneapolis sits on back to the indigenous peoples she replied in the negative.

No of course not.  Don’t be silly.  This is our city and the indigenous peoples are welcome to parade through our streets in their colorful indigenous costumes but giving the land back?  The lawyers for the city inform me that won’t be necessary to show solidarity.  Besides, all the native Americans are dead I think.

The Mayor said that the city might consider giving Columbus day its name back if certain conditions were met.

If it is proven that Columbus was a transsexual, or at least a homosexual, this would go a long way towards helping our city heal the wounds of 500 years of oppression.

There is no word yet if Steuben Day will be able to keep its name.

* According to liberal blogger Ezra Klein “time immemorial” is officially 100 years ago. Give or take a decade.

The Gospel of Barack Obama According to Chris Matthews (Part XVIII)

And Barack shineth in the darkness

And Barack shineth in the darkness

When Barack had said these things, he went forth with his disciples in the MSM to an expensive restaurant in Georgetown, where there was a garden.

And Valerie Jarrett also, who betrayed him, knew the place; because Barack often resorted thither together with his disciples in the MSM.

Valerie therefore having received a band of Republican racists paid for with Koch brothers money, cometh thither with lanterns and torches but no flashlights since they cause global warming, and weapons but no guns since guns are bad.

Barack therefore, knowing that all things are about him, went forth, and said to them:  Whom seek ye?

They answered him:  Barry of Hawaii.  I mean Barack of Chicago.

As soon therefore as he had said to them:  I am he; they went backward and fell to the ground in awe of the man who lowers sea levels.

Again therefore he asked them:  Whom seek ye?  And they said, Barack the Constitutional scholar.

Barack answered, I have told you that I am he.  Can I not finish my waffle?

Then Joe Biden, having a shotgun, because shotguns are not bad like assault rifles, did fire upon the assistant of one of the Koch brothers, and cut off his right ear.

Barack therefore said to Joe Biden:  Put up thy shotgun.  The chalice which my father whom I met only once or twice, shall I not drink of it?  Assuming it is sugar free and not 32 ounces?

Then the band, and the tribune, and the servants of the Koch brothers, took Barack and bound him: And they led him away to John Boehner.

And Joe Biden followed Barack, and so did another disciple in the MSM.  And that disciple was known to Boehner and went in with Barack.  But Joe Biden stood at the door without.

A security guard saith to Joe Biden:  Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He saith: Hey, I just work here.

Now the servants stood at a fire of coals, because they were Republicans and did not care about the environment.  And with them was Joe Biden also, standing, and warming himself though inwardly he was conflicted over using coal.

Boehner therefore asked Barack of his disciples in the MSM and of his doctrine.

Barack answered him:  I have spoken openly to the world because we are the people we have been waiting for.  In secret I have spoken nothing.  What?  Why is everyone laughing? This is the most transparent administration in history.

And when he had said these things, one of the servants of John Boehner gave Barack a blow for Barack is our first gay president.

And Joe Biden was standing, and warming himself and his hair plugs.  They therefore said to him:  Art not thou also one of his disciples?  He denied it, and said:  I am not.

And one of the servants of Boehner saith to him;  Did I not see thee in the garden with him? Again therefore Joe Biden denied; and immediately the cock crew.  It was a happy and free range cock.

Then they led Barack from Boehner to the presumptive 2016 Republican nominee Jeb Bush.

Bush said:  What accusation bring you against this man?

They answered:  If he were not a believer in big government and insupportable debt we would not have delivered him up to thee, though you believe in the same things.

Jeb Bush therefore said to them:  Take him you, and judge him according to your law.  They said:  Our cocktail of intravenous drugs to cause execution are notoriously ineffective.

Jeb Bush therefore went into the hall again, and called Barack, and said to him:  Art thou the King of America?

Barack answered:  I am the person I have been waiting for.

Jeb Bush said:  What hast thou done that I won’t do once I’m elected President?

Barack answered:  My kingdom is not of our flawed and racist Constitution.  If it were I would ensure that the law is enforced.  Hello? Obamacare anyone? And he chuckled.

For this was I born, and for this I came into the world; that I should give testimony to redistribution.

Bush said:  What is redistribution?  And when he had said this, he went out again to the teabaggers and saith to them:  I find no cause in him.

But you have a custom that I should release one unto you:  will you therefore, that I release unto you the King of redistribution?

Then cried they all again, saying:  Not this man, but Donald Sterling.

Now Donald Sterling was a racist, just like all the teabaggers.
