Holder Out as Attorney General: Master Sergeant Hans George Schultz Named Successor

I know nothing!  Nothing!In wake of the burgeoning Operation Fast and Furious scandal President Obama today accepted the resignation of his attorney General Eric Holder.

In accepting Holder’s resignation, President Obama praised his former Attorney General for his many contributions but also acknowledged that it was time to go in a new direction.  Said the President:

It is time to go beyond petty partisan politics.  The bickering between the parties has paralyzed Washington.  This is why I have chosen Sergeant Schultz to be my next Attorney General.   Sergeant Schultz is an outsider with no political ax to grind.  He is a successful businessman, running Germany’s most successful toy factory, The Schatzi Toy Company.  He also has a background in law enforcement.  As a guard at Stalag 13 not one inmate escaped…… and didn’t come back.

Sergeant and Attorney General designate Schultz was then introduced to the press, who as might have been expected had many questions about Fast and Furious.

“Will those responsible for border patrol agent Brian Terry’s death be brought to justice?” asked one reporter.

“How can letting guns get into the hands of known criminals advance law enforcement interests” asked another.

Perhaps flustered by the barrage of questions, Schultz put down his Krag-Jorgensen rifle, which ended up in the hands of Anderson Cooper.

“Cooper give me back my gun.  Or I’ll shoot!” screamed Schultz.  Before giving back the gun however Cooper managed to fatally wound Norah O’Donnell.

After O’Donnell’s body was removed the questioning of the new Attorney General continued.

Clearly out of his element, a confused Schultz could only mutter “I see NOTHING!  I know NOTHING!

“Are you telling me that you know absolutely nothing.  You have no knowledge of firearms being sold to Mexican cartels?” asked Cooper.  “And I just shot Norah O’Donnell.  Today I am a man.”

As Schultz continued to stammer about seeing nothing, President Obama said to an aide, “See why I love this guy.  Plausible deniability.”

Schultz’s nomination is expected to be approved by Congress.

Norah O’Donnell’s family has vowed revenge against Anderson Cooper.

EPA Goes After New York City's Water Supply

A typical New York City water reservoir, minus concrete containment domeThe Environmental Shakedown Protection Agency has ordered New York City to place a concrete containment dome over all of its upstate reservoirs.

“The EPA requires that all water be enclosed after it is treated and decontaminated” said EPA administrator Lisa Jackson. “Rules are rules.  And New York City must comply. You have a nice water supply here. Shame if something were to happen to it.”

In a miracle of engineering New York City currently has two active water tunnels and is building a third.  These tunnels bring fresh water from reservoirs in upstate New York, bypassing the need to use drinking water from the Hudson River.  New York’s drinking water is clean and pure.  Still, the Environmental Shakedown Protection Agency is demanding that the City spend an estimated 1.6 billion to build the containment domes.  This will raise water rates 4%, after rates have already climbed 91% since 2006.

According to the Environmental Shakedown Protection Agency the concrete domes will protect the water from bird droppings which can bring cryptosporidum into the supply, causing diarrhea in humans.

“This dome will prevent possibly 365,000 cases of cryptosporidiosis a year” said Jackson.

The City Health Department, meanwhile, in a city of 12 million reported only 100 cases of cryptosporidiosis last year.  New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg blamed the diarrhea on conservatives.

They probably gave themselves diarrhea on purpose.  No doubt they are disgruntled and unhappy over the new healthcare reform law.  This was their protest.  Though actually it is an act of diarrhea terrorism.

Mayor Bloomberg has ordered all registered Republicans within city limits to appear at designated health stations where they will have their anuses inspected and cleaned if necessary.

Why do Republicans feel the need to defecate?  I haven’t gone in weeks.  Neither have any of my progressive friends.  

The Environmental Shakedown Protection Agency has ordered all birds that may fly over city reservoirs to also be fitted with a concrete containment dome and has given the birds 90 days to comply or face fines.

“It’s just a first step.  But an important first step” said Jackson.

Once all birds have complied the EPA plans to place a containment dome over the entire United States.

“Some may say this is unnecessary.  Some may say I am mad.  Well, I’m not mad.  I’m Batman” declared Jackson.

A spokesbird for the bird community vows to fight the new regulations.

Yankees Win Again; Cranky Old Blogger Gets Home Before Midnight

“You throw the ball.  You catch the ball.  You hit the ball.  Sometimes you win.  Sometimes you lose.  Sometimes it rains” ~ Bull Durham

And the tarp comes off the field no thanks to the unwashed hippie Mariners

So after sitting out a two-hour rain delay the Yankees took the field shortly after 9 PM to face the Seattle “Sorry we brought our hippie raining leftist cappuccino swilling anti-capitalist weather with us” Mariners.

The Yankees started Freddy Garcia (9-7 3.23) while Seattle, losers of 16 in a row started Jason “Sacrificial lamb” Vargas (6-9 4.09 ERA).

It didn’t take long for the Yankees to make Seattle its bitch.  In the bottom of the first Mark “I have no soul” Teixeira hit a two run home run.  2-0 Yankees after one.  And Mark, you realize you have no soul? Satan owns it.  Just look into his vacant eyes and you will see that I am right. This man has no soul All I can say is Mark, keep hitting home runs and I won’t care about your lack of a soul.  I’m just an open minded person.

In the top of the third baseball’s bitches got a run back when Ichiro “washed up” Suzuki hit a sacrifice fly to deep center, scoring Justin Smoak.  The Yankees scored in the bottom of the third when Derek “Also washed up but has Minka Kelly to console him” Jeter hit his fourth home run of the year.  3-1 Yankees after three.

The Yankees broke it open scoring five runs in the bottom of the fourth.  Now how did those runs score?  Unfortunately since it was raining pretty heavily when I arrived at the stadium and I wasn’t sure if the game was going to be played I decided to forgo the ten dollars to buy a program to keep score.  Suffice to say it was 8-1 Yankees after four.

In the bottom of the sixth the Yankees tacked on another run when Curtis Granderson hit a sac fly to deep center scoring Brett Gardner.  9-1 Yankees after six.

Baseball’s bitches got a run back in the top of the seven and eighth and the Yankees countered in the bottom of the eight when Derek “I have Minka Kelly so suck it” Jeter tripled home Eduardo Nunez.  Final Score:  Yankees 10 Bitches 3.

In  handing Seattle their 16th straight loss Freddy Garcia pitched 7 2/3 innings allowing eight hits and three runs while walking one and striking out five.  Seattle starter Jason Vargas lasted only four innings giving up seven hits and eight runs while walking one and striking out two and giving up two home runs.

Notes on the game:

This week at Yankees stadium is HOPE week where the Yankees take special cases and treat them to a game and donate to their charity.  Today’s HOPE case was a man who suffered brain damage but was brought out of a coma through music being played in his hospital room.  He and several others with similar injuries sang the national anthem.

It was a beautiful, heartwarming moment.

Yes, they sucked.  Beautiful heartwarming moment or not I was hoping they would get gonged off.  Or that Gene Gene the Dancing machine It’s Gene Gene the dancing machine! would come out to take the focus off of them.  For those of you under the age of 40 who have no idea who Gene Gene the Dancing machine is you have missed the pinnacle of western civilization.

With all the Yankees injuries why do they keep winning?  Simple.  God is a Yankee fan.  You shall love the Yankees with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind.  Satan took the Red Sawks, the Mets and all teams (except for the Giants) that play west of the Mississippi.

During the two hour rain delay I had a chance to sample Yankee stadium cuisine.  The dumplings were very good.  The chicken tenders were about as tender as Mickey Rourke’s liver.

Today in Yankee history:

July 25th 1961. A badly hungover Mickey Mantle refuses to sign an autograph for a 10-year old, calling him a “goddamn cocksucker.”  The crying kid was then kicked in the groin by Yankee manager Ralph Houk.

Joba Chamberlain weight-gain watch:  As everyone knows, our hefty righty Joba Chamberlain Joba will eat you is out for the season with Tommy John surgery.  When asked how his is recuperating Chamberlain announced that his rehab is on schedule.  Then he ate a reporter.

Recommended reading material:  The Collected Poems of Langton Hughes.  Arnold Rampersad, editor.

Reader mail:

The (in)famous M.B. of Brooklyn writes, “I am considered an intellectual, love books and am interested in writing for your blog.  Would you like a photo of me dressed in my French maid outfit?”

The (in)famous M.B. of Brooklyn also writes, “What the hell did I tell you about putting words in my mouth?  I’ve warned you before but you don’t listen.  That’s right. Hear that?  It’s the sound of your front door being broken off its hinges.  Hide in the bathroom. Are you going to escape through that tiny bathroom window?  I don’t think so. I have guns. I have crossbows.  I have a knife between my teeth.  See that tank parked in the street?  That’s mine.  You are so going down!”

If any of my readers would like to call 911 I would much appreciate it.  Please.  Thank you.

So this year my record stands at an amazing 10-0 at Yankee games.  I would like to take all the credit but I believe the players deserve some.  And let’s not forget the groupies who service the players between innings.

My next Yankee game is……oh hell I’m too tired to look it up now.  I’m a cranky old man and I hate everything except Matlock.  Ooooh, he’s on now!

Go Yankees!

Pain in the Ass Sullivan Ballou Ruins it for All Men

Pain in the ass Sullivan BallouPain in the ass lawyer and major in the 2nd Rhode Island infantry, Sullivan Ballou officially ruined it for all men by writing a letter home to his wife.  The effects of this notorious letter are still being felt today.

A week before the first Battle of Bull Run Ballou wrote a letter (“The Letter”) home to his wife.  The Letter speaks of his desire to be with her:

Sarah, my love for you is deathless, it seems to bind me with mighty cables that nothing but Omnipotence could break……..the memories of the blissful moments I have spent with you come creeping over me and I feel most gratified to God and to you that I have enjoyed them so long.

and his fear that he might not return:

If I do not return, my dear Sarah, never forget how much I love you, and when my last breath escapes me on the battlefield it will whisper your name…….But O Sarah!  if the dead can come back to this Earth and flit unseen around those they loved I shall always be with you in the brightest day and the darkest night.

Immediately after Ballou’s death officers of the 2nd Rhode Island, worried about its possible effect on their wives back home, buried it under six feet of concrete.

“If our wives find out about this letter they’ll want us all to write like this” said one officer.  “I mean I write home to my wife too, but I talk about the dysentery in camp and how things are shooting out of my butt I never saw before.”

Ensconced under concrete the letter was safely forgotten for 130 years until pain in the ass film maker Ken Burns resurrected it in his Civil War film for PBS.  As feared, the effects were devastating.  Divorce rose.  Men reported an increase in violence directed towards them by their wives.  Wives started asking their husbands to write poetry.

According to one man who spoke after his wife had thrown him out of their home, “I tried.  God knows I tried but there are only so many words that rhyme with Nantucket.”

Another man complained that he was writing poetry but that his efforts displeased his wife.  “You want poetry?  How about this:

 

Roses are red

violets are blue.

Have dinner ready for me when I get home. 

Something I like. 

And when you finish doing the dishes

you know what I want.

Because of this there is a drive in Congress to have any mention of Sullivan Ballou’s letter punishable by a fine and/or jail time.

“It’s all about male survival” said a member of congress.  “And why were on the subject, we’re looking at you too Ken Burns.”

The bill is expected to pass both houses of congress with little opposition.

Price of Bacon Soars!

Pay up, bitch!

Pay up, bitch!

The Department of Agriculture announced today that because of a sharp rise in corn prices, Bacon is expected to be “dramatically more expensive” this summer.

With the announcement consumers have begun cutting back on their Bacon usage.

“I used to have Kevin Bacon cut my lawn once a week.  He was cheap.  Ten dollars was all it cost” said one person.  “But now I don’t know.  The economy’s bad and I’m struggling to make ends meet. If Bacon gets more expensive I’ll have to mow it myself even though I have a bad back.”

All along this row of houses former neatly manicured lawns have been growing wild as owners are forced to choose between not mowing their lawn or paying extra for Bacon.

“The last time I had Bacon mow my lawn I gave him his usual ten dollars and he said ‘Sorry, price has gone up’ and he asked for 25.  I told him I couldn’t afford that and that’s when he shrugged and said ‘What can I do.  Homie loves corn’ “ said one anguished home owner.  “It’s a shame.  He was so good at mowing my lawn.”

One elderly woman caught unawares by the rise in Bacon prices used to have Kevin Bacon carry her groceries from her car to the kitchen every week.

“He only wanted five dollars and he was such a nice young man.  But last week he asked for $15.  When I said I didn’t have it he threw my groceries to the ground and punched me in the face.  I’m an old woman. Was that appropriate?”

Another man laments, “I used to have Bacon work on my car.  I just don’t have the time.  I used to give him $50.  But yesterday he told me he was going to charge $200.  I just don’t have that kind of  money.  I told him that.  So he took the alternator and beat my cat to death with it. I mean I know we all have to make a living but come on!”

When asked to respond to complaints that the rise in his prices will have a negative effect on the average American Kevin Bacon had this to say: “Look if you want my services, and I provide top-notch professional services, you’re going to have to pay.  Look, don’t blame me.  Blame the corn producers.”

He then crushed a small child to death with his bare hands.

“I get cranky when I don’t have my corn.”

From the Manhattan Infidel Future Archives: April 13, 2023: China Demands Changes in American Political, Economic System

You Americans do what we want!Dateline:  April 13, 2023.

Displaying an unprecedented degree of impatience with its foremost debtor, The People’s Republic of China issued a statement today saying that the “United States must follow the directives that we want” or face the full “military might of China.”

With the debt of the United States hovering at 90 percent of its GNP, unemployment at 17% for the second straight decade and the dollar now trading at .02 cents China said it must act now to protect its investment.

“We cannot continue buying worthless U.S. dollars” said a source in the Chinese government.  “The U.S. must be held accountable.”

Foremost among the changes demanded by China:  The United States Constitution will be suspended.  In place of the current government a Chinese overseer will be appointed by Beijing.   This overseer’s primary task will be to make sure that the U.S. debt is reduced.

Also, the outmoded system of  capitalism that flourished in the United States will be replaced by centralized economic planning from Beijing.

With the Chinese Fleet stationed off the West Coast and with the U.S. military mothballed to help pay for Obamacare, the U.S. has no choice but to submit.

“It’s going to be painful” said President Michelle Obama.  “But Americans have to stop being so selfish.  Perhaps if Americans ate healthier foods this would never have happened.”

Already many pro-government stations are lauding the takeover.  On MSNBC Joe Scarborough, host of “Morning Joe” talked about the many benefits of Chinese rule.

Scarborough:  You have to look at what China has accomplished.

Mika Brzezinski:  Americans are stupid.

Scarborough:  I mean, the beauty, the purity of the Chinese system.  It’s a marvel.  One man rule is the way to go.

Mika Brzezinski:  I was in a red state once.  My god, I never saw so many sloped foreheads.

Scarborough:  And I want to remind the Chinese that as a popular television personality I can be most useful rounding up my fellow Americans to work in the underground Chinese salt mines. Yes, I know Kent Brockman said that but I think it’s worth repeating.

China will begin implementing the takeover next week and expects to be in direct control of the United States for no more than “a couple of decades.  Perhaps a century.”

Hollywood Files for Divorce from America

We have grown apart from AmericaHollywood, long synonymous with America and American culture announced today that it intends to file for divorce.

“This has been a long time coming” said Hollywood. “We’ve grown apart.  We no longer share the same values.  America and I have nothing in common.  Hell, we don’t even like each other anymore.”

As part of the divorce settlement Hollywood is asking for custody of the mansions, private jets and high-flow toilets.

Insiders say that one source of friction between Hollywood and America was that Americans stopped going to the anti-American propaganda movies that Hollywood insisting on making.  Said an anonymous source:

Hollywood was frankly shocked and confused. They were used to having America follow it wherever they went.  But America seemed to be going in another direction.

Another source blames Hollywood’s fear of contamination at the hands of those with sloping foreheads.

Look, Hollywood is enlightened.  It is compassionate.  It is, shall we say, composed of the best and the brightest and Hollywood just didn’t like what it saw in middle-America:  Unwashed, stupid people with sloping foreheads who liked themselves and the country they lived in.  They worship something called “freedom” which is nothing more than the freedom to disobey the Government.  Freedom to turn their thermostats to a temperature they want.  Freedom to have more than one child.  Freedom to drive that child in an SUV – the vehicle of environmental terrorism.  Is it any wonder Hollywood would wish to separate itself from these people?

But perhaps the final break came with the visit of Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton.  Hollywood was naturally attracted to real royalty and began to wonder why America banned titles of nobility.

“These republican predilections of America can be too much to bear sometimes” said a patient and pained Hollywood.  “The belief that power comes from the people and not from the top down, well, that’s something Hollywood will never consent to.”

Still, Hollywood is not without mixed feelings.

“Look, America and I have been through a lot together and I will always remember the good times.  But she has not grown, she has not evolved politically and morally like I have.”

In the meantime until the divorce is finalized Hollywood will move to Vancouver, B.C.

“Canada has a Queen.  Canada has royalty and restrictions on speech that offends Muslims.  Now this is more in line with my values.”

America could not be reached for comment but apparently is not that upset with the breakup.  Said a friend, “American won’t even notice Hollywood is gone.  Frankly, for a long time now Hollywood has been a tempermental bitch.”

Debt Ceiling Negotiations Continue

Eat your damn peas!President Obama met today with congressional leaders as the latest round of negotiations into increasing the country’s debt limit extended into the evening.

The meeting started normally enough with President Obama welcoming congressional leaders to the oval office.  House Majority Leader Eric Cantor then complained that the cuts that were agreed to last week had shrunk and that spending was still increasing.

Enraged, President Obama stood up and shouted “Eat your peas!  Eat your peas!  I am an adult and you must eat your peas!”

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, misunderstanding the President replied that “I have many people in my district who like peeing on their partners.  And it’s a beautiful example of the tolerance and multiculturalism in a largely Democratic district.”

Speaker of the House John Boehner then asked the President if he had a serious counter proposal to the Republican’s desire to cut spending significantly before an increase in the debt ceiling could be approved.

President Obama shouted at Boehner to “shut up or I’ll freeze you.”   Turning to Minority Leader Pelosi Obama continued, “He (Boehner) has a mean look.  I prefer happy looks.”

Becoming more agitated, President Obama began pacing up and down the office.  At one point he gestured towards the Republicans and said, “I can make you all go away!  Anytime I want to!”

Boehner then reminded the President of the Republican majority in the House, saying “Mr. President there are a million things in this universe you can have and a million things you can’t have.  It’s no fun facing that. But that’s the way things are.”

Clearly enraged by Boehner’s insubordination President Obama called him “Mr. Ears.”

“I’ll make you all go away if you’re not nice to me!”

Tensions increased and were in fact in danger of breaking out into physical violence when First Lady Michelle Obama entered the Oval Office and apologized for her husband’s behavior.

He is in many ways still new at being human.  I gave him power so that he could live.  He will use it – always.  And he will destroy you, or you will be forced to destroy him.  Come Barry.  It’s time for you to go.

President Obama began to panic, asking congressional leaders to help him.

She’s not like us.  She doesn’t feel.  I…..I…..I wanna stay…..stay…..stay….stay…stay.

President and Mrs. Obama then disappeared in front of the shocked Congressional committee.

The negotiations will continue tomorrow with Vice President Biden representing the Administration.

“I hate ceilings.  Sometimes I jump up and down and hit my head.  I get sad when my head hurts” said the Vice President.

Pain in the Ass Migrant Family Terrorizes Midwest

Pain in the ass lying migrant workersAuthorities in several states from Oklahoma to Arizona are currently searching for a family of migrant workers called “The Joads” who have created a swathe of terror in their wake.

“They’re no good.  That’s what they are” declared one sheriff.  “Why else would they travel along old route 66 when there are modern freeways?  They’re trying to hide from the authorities.”

The eldest son, Tom Joad, has a long criminal record and was recently released from jail.  In addition Ma and Pa Joad may be drug addicts.  It also appears that they have deliberately damaged the environment, at one point stopping along the side of the road to bury their grandfather.  Said a local law enforcement authority:

We don’t know how the poor bastard died but it’s got to be suspicious.  They just buried the poor guy next to the road and, get this, ripped out a page from a bible and wrote on it, “Not a homicide” and pinned it to the body.  Jesus, what sick freaks are these people?

The Joads are allegedly farmers but authorities believe they are actually grifters.

I asked them where their farm was.  They couldn’t say.  No one ever saw them doing any sort of manual labor.  I asked them if they grew peaches.  They said, “Dunno.  Is it Jewish?”

The Joads also offended locals by bringing with them an ex-preacher named Jim Casy Pain in the ass commie who had no residence and claimed to have “lost the spirit.”

We’re pretty conservative people around here.  Religious too.  And this Casy fella comes along claiming God is dead and that the future is Communism and that we should spread the wealth.  You can imagine he wasn’t very popular.  We don’t like taxmen around here.  It’s no wonder he was killed by a mob.  And you know what?  I don’t blame people.  I’d would have liked to redistribute his ass too if you know what I mean.

It was during the scuffle that killed Casy that Tom Joad killed a security guard.

He’s on our most wanted list now. He shouldn’t be hard to find.  He has a scar on his cheek and he looks a lot like Henry Fonda. Cop killer Tom Joad You know that guard he killed was an off-duty cop who was moonlighting to make ends meet. He had a family.  I hope Joad gets the chair for this.

Eluding capture and taunting police Joad released a statement that said he was going to dedicate his life to “social justice“:

I’ll be all around in the dark.  I’ll be everywhere.  Wherever you can look, wherever there’s a fight, so hungry people can eat.  I’ll be there.  Wherever there’s a cop beatin’ up a guy, I’ll be there.  I’ll be there in the way guys yell when they are mad.  I’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry and they know supper’s ready, and when the people are eatin’ the stuff they raise and livin’ in the houses the build.  I’ll be there too.

“I mean, Jesus.  Have you ever read anything more pompous?  It’s like he works for MSNBC or something.”

Authorities are asking citizens to call police immediately if they spot Tom Joad.

An Important Message from the Zombie Anti-Defamation League

Peace loving zombies cross the Brooklyn Bridge to go clubbingGood Afternoon.  As the President of the Zombie Anti-Defamation league I would like to take this opportunity to say a few words on behalf of all zombies.

First off, let me say that we love living in America.  This country has been very good to zombies.  Why, two of our own have even been elected to your highest office.  One of them even had the honor of not being impeached.

Having said that, there recently has been an upswing in violence directed towards the undead by the un-undead.  For this I blame Hollywood.  Your entertainment industry has consistently spread lies about our community.  For instance:

  • Zombies do not eat human brains (at least not without good cause.)

Most of us are vegetarians.  Vegans actually.  We like gardening and crossword puzzles.  So next time you see a zombie do not be afraid.  Your brain is safe.  As a matter of fact, according to the Zombie Code of Conduct there are only certain, specific enumerated cases where we can eat the brains of the un-undead.  And as Americans we all know that if you enumerate powers those powers cannot grow or be abused.  I will now give you an example of these enumerated powers:

Zombies love KFC double downs.  It’s our favorite snack.  Let’s say a zombie is sitting on his backyard patio relaxing on a Saturday afternoon, sipping a Corona and eating a double down. His phone rings and he goes to answer it.  He comes back and his snacks are gone.  He then sees you across the street licking your greasy un-undead fingers.  Well, presumption of innocence be damned.  We’re eating your brain. Also, don’t say anything bad about Bob Marley.  Zombies love Bob Marley.  If you disrespect the man, we will eat your brain.

While I have the opportunity to address you let me say a few words about the movie Zombieland.  It was an enjoyable comedy.  But it is a work of fiction!   Especially this “double tap” nonsense.  How would you like it if you were on a date with the undead woman of your dreams and this punk un-undead teenager with a shotgun shoots you in the chest.  Not once, but twice?  You know what?  Screw enumerated powers.  If you’re a teenager we’re eating your brain.  It’s a question of undead survival.

So let me just finish by saying that I hope for greater understanding and tolerance between the undead and the un-undead communities.  We all have to live together.  And we can all agree on the true enemy:  Werewolves.  And the French.
