An Open Letter from Booz Allen Hamilton

Join us and see the world.  From a cramped hotel room.  Because you can't go outside.  Without being shot.

Join us and see the world. From a cramped hotel room. Because you can’t go outside. Without being shot.

In the past few weeks you no doubt have seen us in the news.  One of our former contractors, Edward Snowden, is on the run, wanted by the United States government for leaking classified documents relating to NSA hacking of computers and spying on American citizens.

No doubt you are asking yourself, “What does this have to do with me?”

Let us address ourselves to computer geeks everywhere:

  • Are you tired of your current desktop support position?
  • Do you feel you get no respect from women in the office who look down on you as a poorly paid, socially awkward computer technician?
  • Would you like more glamor in your job?
  • Tired of swapping out keyboards?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions then a career at Booz Allen Hamilton is right for you!

When you get a computer job at Booz Allen Hamilton not only will you be highly paid but you will have access to classified information around the world.  But don’t take just our word for it.  Listen to the testimonials of past and present Booz Allen Hamilton contractors:

“My position with Booz Allen Hamilton granted me access to lists of machines all over the world the NSA hacked.  That is why I accepted the position.  And I haven’t swapped out one keyboard yet!”

“Because of my position at Booz Allen Hamilton I now have a stripper girlfriend!  All I did was tell her I make 200,000 a year and that I knew secrets and she was all over me.  Thanks Booz Allen Hamilton!”

“I’m overweight, bald and live with my mother but once Booz Allen Hamilton hired me my life changed dramatically.  It pays to be a snitch!  Now women find me irresistible.  I mean I still can’t bring girls home because mother objects but now I can afford a hotel room.  For the night not just for an hour!”

“I’m a high school dropout with no computer experience.  Much to my surprise I got an interview with Booz Allen Hamilton. They asked me if I was going to use my position to leak secrets, betray my government and escape to Hong Kong. I said ‘Sure that sounds like fun.  I love Chinese food.’  Well they hired me!  And here I am, sitting in a hotel room in Hong Kong surrounded by Chinese hookers. I mean strippers.  I would definitely recommend Booz Allen Hamilton to my friends.”

And those are just a few of our testimonials.

But wait.  There’s more!

If you apply for a job at Booz Allen Hamilton you will get this stainless steel rotisserie from Ronco.

But wait!  There's more!

Manhattan Infidel Presents: The Timeline for the Demon Child North West Kardashian

Northwest Kardashian shortly after her birth

Northwest Kardashian shortly after her birth

When the demon child of the daughter of the man who helped O.J. Simpson get away with murder and Kanye West was born there was much speculation as to what its name would be.  When it was revealed that the unfortunate demon child would be called “North West” speculation soon turned to “How long before the demon seed takes over the world?”

Using the latest in supercomputer technology I am now able to answer that question.  So I present for the benefit of my readers the Official NorthWest Kardashian Timeline:

  • June 15, 2013

The birth of the demon child.  This is the world’s first demon child since Cher and Greg Allman’s progeny, Elijah Blue Allman.

  • June 20, 2013

The name of the Demon child is revealed to be “North West.”  Said Ms. Kardashian, “When one thinks of the north west one thinks of constant depressing rain and snotty Starbucks employees.  We want the world to think of our child the same way.”

  • September 2014

The demon child North West releases her first hip hop song on iTunes entitled, “Don’t shit your diaper for me Argentina.”

  • April 2024

The demon child travels back in time to 1832 and addresses the nation.  “President Andrew Jackson doesn’t care about black people!’  Ignored by America she promises vengeance in the form of modern day Detroit and Camden, New Jersey

  • March 2026

The demon child is spotted court side at a Lakers game with Lindsay Lohan and Justin Bieber.  Speculation is rampant that the appearance of the three together represent a “black magic Power of Three.”

Note:  While not part of the demon child timeline Manhattan Infidel loses 95 percent of his readers in disgust when they realize he just slipped a “Charmed

Hey, Charmed was a wity representation of modern day empowered women!

Hey, Charmed was a witty representation of modern day empowered women!

reference into the post.  Alyssa Milano.  Mmmm.  Alyssa Milano.

  • November 2030

Inhabitants of Earth wake up in horror as the moon hits their eye like a big pizza pie. North West claims responsibility for the event saying “President Justin Bieber doesn’t care about black people.”

  • October 2033

The demon child hosts the season premiere of Saturday Night Live with her father Kanye West as musical guest.  West interrupts his first song and declares that “President Lindsay Lohan doesn’t care about black people.”  For this he is banned from SNL by recently undead producer Lorne Michaels.

  • April 2036

The zombie apocalypse begins.  North West denies responsibility.

  • May 2036

With 95 percent of the world’s population now zombies North West finally admits her responsibility.  “Until the undead Lorne Michaels allows my father back on SNL the zombies will continue to reign supreme.  And President Justine Bateman doesn’t care about black people.”

  • August 2036

Using her mind, the demon child North West destroys the universe.  All life is extinguished.

  • October 2036

North West hosts the season premiere of Saturday Night Live with musical guests her father and Justin Bieber who sing their duet, “I”m a little bit hip hop and Bieber still doesn’t care about black people.”

And there you have it readers.  The official North West Kardashian Timeline.  And if you are reading this Alyssa Milano please give me a call.  Just don’t tell Olivia Wilde.

A rare photo of Manhattan Infidel acting lazy, falling out and hanging ’round

Well it was bound to happen.  The Manhattan Infidel database is now FUBAR. So I’ll be doing some serious under the hood maintenance to see if I can fix the problem.  My web host tells me the problem is with WordPress while the WordPress forums tell me that the problem is with the web service provider.

Either way I have lost the ability to create new posts.   I had to raid an old draft to post this. I have enough posts to the end of this week that were already scheduled but after that if I can’t fix the problem Manhattan Infidel may go dark for a few days while I figure things out.

Either way I’ll keep you informed.

Oh, and don’t try commenting on any posts. That’s FUBARed as well.

The Manhattan Infidel

Update:

All attempts to fix the blog have, like the quantitative easing of the Federal Reserve, failed and only made things worse.  So here’s what I’m going to do.

For the remainder of this week you’ll get posts on this site.  But starting Monday July 8th Manhattan Infidel is moving.  That’s right. Manhattan Infidel will now be at Manhattan Infidel.

Same Manhattan Infidel satire but now with twice the gluten.  That’s right.  So update your bookmarks next week to Manhattaninfidel.org.

Manhattaninfidel.com will not be going anywhere but all posts after July 5th will be on the new site.

Manhattan Infidel.

High on gluten.

High on satire.

High on life.

Shocked repeatedly by Olivia Wilde’s tasers.

Flying Nun’s Black Box Recovered

If only she had kept her habit, which acted as a vertical stabilizer.

If only she had kept her habit, which acted as a vertical stabilizer.

The black box from the Flying Nun has been recovered.  Sister Bertrille of the convent of San Tanco in Puerto Rico, commonly known as the “flying nun”  disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean while flying from Brazil to France.  Sister Bertrille had travelled to Brazil to take part in a conference of her order and from there was flying to France to pick up orphans.  Her last contact with ground control was at 2:10 local time when she said that she was experiencing turbulence and was going to climb higher to avoid it.

Immediately an intensive search of the Atlantic was begin.  One day after she disappeared her luggage was discovered.  It is believed that Sister Bertrille broke up on impact.

After careful review of the black box authorities from the TSA have released the following statement which they believe is the official cause of her death:

Sister Bertrille, aka the Flying Nun pitched her nose up to avoid turbulence.  As her angle of attack increased stall warnings went off.  Sister Bertrille amazingly ignored these stall warnings and continued to pitch her nose up, causing her to fall from 38,000 feet to the sea in two minutes.

As to why Sister Bertrille ignored the stall warnings the TSA believes that she may have become disorientated.

She (the Flying Nun) was experienced in flying over land but she did not have much experience flying over deep ocean at that altitude.  With the lack of visual objects of reference she may not have realized the danger she was in.  When a stall develops the normal thing to do is pitch the nose down and build up speed.  Sister may have tried to do this but by the time she saw the ocean it was too late.

The TSA also criticized Sister Bertille for getting rid of her nun’s habit.

It was the vertical stabilizer!

It was the vertical stabilizer!

By getting rid of her habit and dressing in “street clothes” Sister Bertrille was dooming herself.  Without her habit she became aerodynamically unstable. In our final analysis the crash was caused by her inexperience flying at night over the sea and her unwise decision to forgo her habit.

Her superior in her order stands by the decision to abandon the habit.

The spirit of Vatican II calls us to be engaged in the world.  Our habits prevented us from moving among the laity as one of them. Also our habits were a symbol of the oppression caused by male-dominated patriarchal church.

In lieu of her body which may never be recovered her order is soliciting for funds to build a memorial on the convent’s grounds.

Manhattan Infidel’s Guide to New York City Recycling Laws

Heads go in the blue bin.  Torsos go in the gray bin.

Heads go in the blue bin. Torsos go in the gray bin.

Fresh off his proposed ban on 32-ounce soft drink mayor Michael Bloomberg (Statist Asshole – NY)  has proposed newer, more stringent recycling laws.  Already accustomed to separating plastic, metal and paper, New Yorkers will also have to sort food scraps and other items.  Because they can be confusing, for the benefit of my readers I will give a brief explanation of the new rules.

  • Will I still have to recycle newspapers?

Yes.  Please continue to tie your papers into a bundle and place them in the gray colored bin.

  • But I like to read the New York Times.

That is different.  Do not recycle the Times.  Use it as toilet paper.

  • Toilet paper?  Really?

Yes.  Wiping your ass with the Times is the only practical use for it.

  • But the Times uses cheap ink.  I’m worried about infection.

Then use it to line your kitty litter box.

  • I have a prosthetic limb.  I think I accidentally threw it out with the other recyclables.  Can I retrieve it?

As long as you placed your limb in the proper blue colored recycle bin you should have no problem retrieving it.  Just go to one of the designated compost stations in your borough to get it back. If perchance your limb has already been melted down you can exchange it for a limb made from crushed cans of soda.

  • But I think I put my limb in the gray colored paper recycling bin.

Learn to hop.

  • I have to recycle food scraps now?

Yes.  All food scraps must be placed in separate containers.

  • But I’m worried about odor.

You’re joking right?  New Jersey is just across the Hudson River and you’re worried about odor?  Whats a matta with ya?

  • I grabbed something from the salad bar at the deli down the block last night.  They had some meat I didn’t recognize.  Do I recycle this?

Yes.  Place the mystery meat in the plastic recycle bins.

  • My name is Vinnie and I live on Todt Hill in Staten Island.  What are the recycling rules regarding body parts?

All body parts are recyclable.  Please place them in the new green recycling bins.

  • Phew.  That’s a relief.  I got a body in the the trunk of my car and it’s starting to stink.

It’s understandable that you would want to get rid of it.  As stated above place the body in the green recycling bin.

  • What if the body won’t fit?

Chop it up into segments that will fit.

  • You mean with like a chainsaw or something?

A chainsaw might violate a noise pollution ordinance in your neighborhood.  Use a hacksaw instead.

  • So all the body parts are recyclable?

That is an excellent question.  It depends on the nationality of the  person you are trying to recycle.

  • He was Irish.

Then throw away the liver.  It’s probably cirrhotic anyway.

  • What if he was a stooge?

Bury him upstate.  No need to soil New York City’s fine recycling program with stooges.

  • Do I still need to chop him up?

Since you are not recycling him there is no need to.  But since he is a stooge I would still mutilate the body.  Try cutting his penis off and sending it to his wife.

  • I never thought of that.  Thanks!

I hope these brief answers will help all New Yorkers make sense of the new recycling regulations.

Yankees Win on Ichiro (Yes You Heard That Right Innominatus) Walk Off

“Innominaus is a bad man. A bad bad man.” ~ Ichiro Suzuki (after the game through an interpreter).

Yankee Stadium in a moment of calm before Ichiro's walk off.

Yankee Stadium in a moment of calm before Ichiro’s walk off.

On a wickedly hot and humid night the Yankees played the Texas Rangers.  The Yankees started Hiroki Kuroda (7-5 2.78) while the Rangers countered with Yu “Whirling” Darvish (7-3 2.84)

Texas scored (“Plated” in modern parlance) first in the top of the third when center fielder Leonys Martin homered to right field on a 2-2 count.  1-0 Rangers after three.

Texas scored another run in the top of the fourth. Yankee third baseman David Adams committed a costly error allowing Adrian Beltre to reach first safely.  After A.J. Piezynski and Lance Berkman singled to load the bases Mitch Moreland hit into a fielder’s choice scoring Beltre.  2-0 Rangers after three and a half.

The Yankees scored in the bottom of the fourth. Travis Hafner led off and on an 0-1 count homered to the right center field box seats in front of me.  (Right field box seats cost 90 dollars.  The bleachers where was sitting cost 20.  ‘Nuff said.).  2-1 Rangers after four.

The Rangers scored again in the top of the fifth when Leonys Martin (again?) homered on a 2-1 count.  3-1 Rangers after four and a half.

In the bottom of the fifth the Yankees traded run for run when Brett Gardner homered on a 1-1 count to right field.  3-2 Rangers after five.

In the bottom of the six the Yankee shortstop who has not slept with Minka Kelly (Jason Nix) homered to left field.  3-3 tie score after six.

And so it remained until the bottom of the ninth when Ichiro Suzuki, nemesis of the blogger known as Innominatus came to the plate.  With the count 0-2 Ichiro then hit a walk off home run into the right field box seats, ending the game.  The victory went to Mariano Rivera (1-1 1.55) who pitched the top of the ninth.

Notes on the game:

Before the game the Yankees introduced the corporate partner of the day:  The Decepticons.  “The Yankees value their relationship with Megatron” intoned the public address announcer.  Just like the Yankees.  Always choosing the bad guys.

Best heckle of the game:

I tried but my heckle of  “The separated soul is, indeed, less perfect considering its nature in which it communicates with the nature of the body:  but it has greater freedom of intelligence, since the weight and care of the body is a clog upon the clearness of its intelligence in the present life”  left the crowd unmoved.  If this keeps up I’ll have to give up heckling.  Most sophisticated fans in baseball my ass!

After the game Ichiro was asked what he thought of Innominatus.  He replied that Innominatus is a bad man. A bad, bad man. If this were World War II I’d be the commandant of a Japanese prison camp and he would be a prisoner. He would not survive. I would behead him personally.”

And you have a dirty whorish mouth!

S.J. of Harlem writes, “My god what is that smell?  It smells like a used diaper filled with Indian food..”

That’s the ointment I rub all over my body every morning. It’s perfectly legal. And it has no side effects. Except I’m now legally a Klingon.

M.B. of Brooklyn writes, “Greetings from Amsterdam!  I asked the bartender to put the Yankee game on.  He didn’t know who the Yankees were. That’s when I tasered him.”

Well done young woman.  Well done.  Yankee nation is proud of you.

L.K. of New Jersey writes, “My dog burned down my house.”

He’s creating a diversion. His real goal is to steal your car.

A.P. of Poughkeepsie, New York writes, “The NSA has a warrant for all my phone records. What do I do?”

Hand them over.  Stop being selfish. Barack Obama cares for you.

May 1945, Hollywood Speaks: We are Adolph Hitler!

Heroic socialist Adolph Hitler in happier times

Heroic socialist Adolph Hitler in happier times

With the American and Russian war machine closing in on Berlin and heroic socialist Adolph Hitler in hiding, Hollywood is making known where its sympathies lie.  A five minute film entitled “We are Adolph Hitler” is being released to theaters this week.

“It’s important that this film be made” said MGM head Louis B. Mayer.

This is my adopted homeland and I love it but I am ashamed of the war crimes our military is committing.  I support our troops but this war is immoral.

The short film opens with many of Hollywood’s top stars holding signs of solidarity that say “I am Adolph Hitler.”

Among the stars signing up for the film are veterans Jimmy Stewart

I am in uniform.  I have moral authority

I am in uniform. I have moral authority

Clark Gable

This country disgusts me.

This country disgusts me.

and David Niven

The war machine of western Europe must give way to socialism.

The war machine of western Europe must give way to socialism.

“I couldn’t remain quiet any longer” said Stewart.

I flew many bombing missions over Germany.  And I always asked myself, “Why?”  Why are we attacking the German people?  What have they ever done to us?   And in these bombing missions I had to bomb civilian targets.  I feel sick at my complicity in these war crimes.

Gable mirrors Stewart in his criticism of the allied war effort.

Hitler is a socialist.  He cares for the poor.  Perhaps that’s why we are bombing them?  The industrialists in our country hate socialism as is well known.  I asked for my discharge because I could no longer participate in this charade of so-called liberation.

Niven in particular criticizes the war crimes of Eisenhower and the allied command.

War crimes!  One war crime after another.  I have burned civilians out of homes. Destroyed private property.  And for what?  To bring Germany to its knees?  Why?  War never! War never again! This war could have been over two years ago if only Roosevelt and the Jew-dominated American war machine weren’t consumed by blood lust and war fever.  Together let us break Adolph Hitler out of his bunker!

From Washington President Truman denies that the war was started to destroy the socialist economic model.

That’s just ridiculous.  I favor socialized health care.  We didn’t start this war.  Germany started it.  We are just bringing it to its logical conclusion.

We are Adolph Hitler has already been nominated for best short film of the year.

Note:  For those wondering what this post is satirizing I now present “I am Bradley Manning.”

I am Bradley Manning

Old Yankees Lose on Old Timer’s Day

“My kingdom!  My kingdom for a new back, or a new hip, or a new knee” ~ assorted anonymous Yankees

Hey look at the old timers!  No wait, that's the regular Yankees.

Hey look at the old timers! No wait, that’s the regular Yankees.

Today was the 67th Old Timer’s game at Yankee Stadium.  A tradition in which elderly ex-stars painfully walk to home plate, painfully swing at pitches and painfully, slowly, run to first base.  No wait, that’s the regular Yankees.

The Yankees started Ivan Nova (2-2 4.91) and intradivision rival the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays started Chris Archer (2-3 4.21).

Nova, considering he hadn’t pitched since May 29th acquitted himself well for the most part, pitching 6 2/3 innings before being taken out.

But it didn’t look like he’d make it that far early in the game.  The (Devil) Rays got on the board first.  Matt Joyce lead off with a single and when to second on a fielder’s choice when Desmond Jennings grounded out 1-3.  On an 0-1 count Ben Zobrist then singled him home.  After Evan Longoria walked Nova got out of the inning when James Loney 4-6-3 double play.  1-0 Tampa after half an inning.

In the bottom of the first Brett Gardner led off with a single and ended on second when the Tampa left fielder Desmond Jennings couldn’t field the ball cleanly.  He the reached third on a wild pitch. After Ichiro “I was not a prison camp commandant on the River Kwai during World War II.  You have me confused with someone else” committed an epic fail when trying to bunt and popped up to the catcher and Robinson Cano flied out to left field Yankee DH Travis Hafner singled him home. Lyle Overbay then grounded out 4-3 to end the inning.  Tie score 1-1 after one inning.

And then both pitchers settled down with Nova striking out seven.

In the top of the seventh Yunel Escobar led off for Tampa and grounded out 6-2.  Matt Joyce then flied out to deep center field.   But then the trouble started.  Jennings and Zobrist were hit by pitches before Girardi brought in Shawn Kelley who walked Longoria to load the bases. Girardi then brought in Boone Logan who got two strikes on Loney before he singled home Jennings and Zobrist.  Joba “Soon to be an ex-Yankee” then struck out Will Myers to end the inning.  3-1 Tampa Bay after six and a half.  And that was the final score.

Notes on the game:

As is their wont, before the game the Yankees introduced the corporate sponsor of the day. Today’s sponsor was BALCO.  “The Yankees value their relationship with BALCO” intoned the public address announcer as a ceremonial syringe was brought out to home plate.

Ban the Wave!

The wave, that annoying holdout from the ’90s again made an appearance during the game. I  humbly suggest that fans who participate in the wave should have their reproductive organs removed.  Or be forced to view photos of Meg Ryan after her plastic surgeries.  Whichever produces the most psychological trauma.  Meg Ryan:  From adorable to Howard the Duck in 15 years.

Best heckle of the game:  I tried but my heckle of  “In the present state of life in which the soul is united to a passable body, it is impossible for our intellect to understand anything actually, except by turning to the phantasms” (Summa Theologica Part One Question 84 article seven) didn’t fire up the crowd.  I’m beginning to think that Yankee fans aren’t Thomists.  In fact I bet they probably prefer Bonaventure, the unspeakable bastards.

Reader mail:

D.B. of Philadelphia writes, “I live in Philadelphia and -“

Shut your filthy whore mouth!

D.B. of Philadelphia also writes, “But I haven’t said anything yet!”

SHUT YOUR FILTHY WHORE MOUTH!

S.J. of Harlem writes, “Tall and tan and young and lovely/the girl from Ipanema goes walking/and when she passes/each one she passes goes ah.”

Whew.  That was close.  I thought she was going to start with the lyrics from the Beach Boys’ Kokomo.

M.B. of Brooklyn writes, “Greetings from France!’

There is no baseball in France.  Have you no shame?  You must live with this for your entire life.

L.K. of New Jersey writes, “I’ve been walking my dog for hours.  I think he knows I don’t know where I’m going. I think he views me as an enemy now.”

Careful son. He also knows about the bodies in your back yard.  Keep your friends close but your enemies closer as Innominatus once said.

A.P. of Poughkeepsie, New York writes, “I keep hearing mysterious clicks on my phone. Do you think the NSA is listening to my conversations?”

You’re just being paranoid.  Unless you didn’t vote for Obama.  In which case the answer is yes.

Wolfman Fired!

Larry Talbot was a disruptive force in the workplace

Larry Talbot was a disruptive force in the workplace

Larry Talbot was dismissed today from his job in the ad sales department of a publishing company.

“We had no choice” said the company’s director of Human Resources.  “He was really starting to create a problem for us.”

Things changed for Talbot, formerly considered a rising star in the company, shortly after he purchased a silver-headed walking stick decorated with a wolf.  Said a receptionist:

Creepy villagers started dropping by the office asking for him.  When I asked them what they wanted all they said was “Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayer by night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.” Like, what the f*ck does that mean?

Then one day Talbot showed up late for work, covered in blood and wearing the same clothes he did the day before.

We were nervous and worried that he might have murdered someone.  But he comes from money.  He has an ancestral home in Wales and all that so we cut him some slack.

Talbot was forgiven and resumed his job in the office.  But things quickly turned bad again.

We were working on this project and we asked him to stay late one day.  He said he couldn’t.  He pleaded with us saying, “Please.  I can’t stay late.  When the moon comes out I turn into a wolf.”  Well, we reported this to HR and they told him in no uncertain terms to lay off the sexually charged language.

Already on thin ice and tagged as a sexual predator disrespectful of the women Talbot was finally let go after what co-workers call “The Day Talbot Lost his Shit.”

Forced to work late Talbot nervously excused himself and went to the bathroom.  When he came out he was naked and covered head to toe in fur.

Larry Talbot prepares to violate company policy

Larry Talbot prepares to violate company policy

Damn if he didn’t look like Dan Hedaya.  I mean this dude was hairy.  Then he grabbed a co-workers neck and started biting, which is serious violation of the company code of ethics. Blood was gushing out of the poor guy. Then he starts howling.  We followed him into the kitchen where he opened the refrigerator and ate all our lunches.  He ate our f*cking lunches!

Unfortunately for Talbot stealing a coworker’s lunch is a fireable offense.

We could live with the hairiness, neck biting and penile-caused mannish behavior as long as he did his job.  But eating someone else’s lunch just displays an appalling lack of character.

He was escorted out of the building by security and told never to return again.

Talbot is currently suing his former employer for back wages, claiming that his behavior was the result of “Dehydration and being bitten by a werewolf.”

“Let’s see him try and win that” said a former co-worker.  “Dehydration?  Come on!  He was drinking water all the time.”
