Final Bin Laden Tape Released

Mommy!  The Americans are being mean to me!Following on the heels of his death at the hands of Navy Seals, the final tape of terror mastermind Osama Bin Laden has been released.  I was lucky enough to hear excerpts from this chilling tape.

The tape begins with Bin Laden declaring eternal holy war against the west:

OBL:   With the holy Prophet Allah by our side we will wage eternal war against the Infidel!  The Great Satan is a paper tiger.  The United States will be defeated, praise be to Allah!

Perhaps because normal sources of cash had dried up after 9/11 at 1:46 into the tape Obama mentions a new and novel form (for a jihadist) of raising revenue:

OBL:  The paper tiger, the great Satan will be defeated.  Your cities will be in flames.  And speaking of flames the summer barbecue season is upon us.  Make your summer backyard barbecue an exciting one with Bin Laden’s Barbecue Sauce.  Buy three and get a fourth for half-price.  Act now while supplies last.  Offer not valid in Yemen or Pennsylvania.

At 4:33 into the tape Bin Laden mentions perks for those who sign up for the Jihad.  CIA analysts theorize that these were recruiting tools for a new, younger generation of would-be jihadists who no longer could be recruited with promises of sheep and virgins.

OBL:  The mighty prophet Allah says that we have a duty to kill the infidel.  The westerner is soft and decadent. So join the holy war now.  Those who do will get a free iPhone!  With 4G!  Stream your favorite soccer matches while strapping bombs to your chest.  Call your favorite wives!  Because killing infidels thousands of miles away from home is no excuse not to stay in touch with loved ones.

At seven minutes into the tape a violent argument appears to break out:

OBL:  We will crush the infidel and burn his churches.  We will destroy his farms and ruin his food supply.  The western economy is on the verge of collapse.  The dollar?  Useless!  Invest in gold!  We will –

Unidentified Female VoiceObby!  Obby.  Did you take the garbage out?

OBL:  I’m making a tape!

Unidentified Female Voice:  Don’t you yell at me mister.  There are chores to do around this house.  The grass needs to be cut.  The garage door won’t shut all the way and the washing machine is leaking.

OBL:  Can’t this wait?  I’m in the middle of something important!

Unidentified Female Voice:  If you think you are going to sit around all day doing nothing!! I cook and I clean for you and this is what I get? All I want is a little respect!

A scuffle appears to break out.  The next 30 seconds are a series of grunts, noises and exclamations until Bin Laden cries out:

OBL:  No!  Don’t kick me there!

After this there is silence except for a man, presumably Bin Laden, who is heard moaning.  The tape ends with the unidentified female voice:

Unidentified Female Voice:  Some jihadist you are!  My mother was right.  I should have married a doctor.

Analysts at the CIA who have heard the tape are in unanimous agreement that had Bin Laden lived attacks against the United States would have continued and thousands more would have died.

Osama Bin Laden Kinetically De-Lived (With Updates From Hell)

Mommy!  The Americans are being mean to me!Osama Bin Laden, the terrorist mastermind responsible for the 9/11 attacks was killed during a unilateral, non-nuanced military action in Pakistan.  We start our coverage from Hell.

Dateline Hell

I am standing in the lowest circle of Hell.  Sources say that Osama Bin Laden showed up here yesterday.  He appeared confused and was favoring a gaping bullet wound to his head.  According to eyewitnesses Bin Laden asked where his virgins were.  He also asked several people “This is paradise?”

Bin Laden was then strapped face down to a table where local goats took turns mounting him. Mr Bin Laden at first appeared not to mind but when informed that he would be mounted by goats for all eternity he became displeased.

“A little variety please” he said.  “Where are my teen boys?”

A  man calling himself “Satan” who appears to be in charge told me that “I’m just teasing him.  No.  The goats end soon.  Then comes the dismemberment.  Over and over and over again for all eternity.  And the boiling tar.  Pitchforks.  Trust me. He’s going to wish he was being mounted by goats.”

Bin Laden has told people that he plans to lodge a complaint with Allah.

Dateline Pakistan

From deep inside Pakistan where Bin Laden was found and killed, one of his wives speaks out:

He couldn’t do anything right!  I told him Osama dear take out the garbage.   Then these helicopters show up and start firing.  He used that an excuse not to take the garbage out!  Men!  They are all alike.  Then the Americans shot him in the head.  He says ‘Ow, I’ve been shot in the head.  Mommy help me.’  I yelled at him and told him to act like a man and finish taking the garbage out.  But does he?  No.  He dies.  Any excuse not to do chores around the house!

From the Capital of Islamabad senior Pakistani security forces deny any knowledge of Bin Laden’s whereabouts in his final days.

Pakistani Intelligence Leader:  We had no idea.  None whatsoever that Bin Laden was in our country.

MI:  But he was living 50 miles from the capital.  In a mansion.  Across the street from a military college.  How do you explain that?

Pakistani Intelligence Leader:  We thought Justin Bieber was living there. 

Dateline Democratic National Headquarters

From inside the DNC there was consternation.  Said one official:

Why did we use kinetic action to de-live him?  Why didn’t we take him alive?  We have high-speed rail.  We could have taken him to a wind farm, eaten vegan food and talked peace and pixie farts.  We could have discovered the root cause of his hatred and apologized for it.   And all those people in the streets waving flags and cheering his de-living?  It’s embarrassing.  The sophisticated, nuanced Europeans are laughing at us!  We are above gloating over the death of fellow humans.  Well, unless it’s Dick Cheney, George Bush or Sarah Palin.

Dateline Arabian Sea – USS Carl Vinson Aircraft Carrier

Osama Bin Laden’s body was flown to this carrier in the Arabian Sea where his body was annointed and prepared for a burial at sea.  I asked Captain Bruce H. Lindsey about the ceremony.

MI:  You washed and anointed the body?

Captain Lindsey:  Anointed?  I guess you could call it that.  We had many sailors on board who volunteered to personally anoint the body.   Many lined up after drinking fluids for the chance to “anoint” the body.

MI:  And then he was buried at sea?

Captain LindseyUm.  I guess you could call it a burial at sea. 

MI:  What exactly happened?

Captain Lindsey:  Did you ever see that scene in Jaws where Roy Scheider is chucking meat into the sea to attract the shark?   It was more like that.

Dateline Hell

The last word must come from Hell where Osama Bin Laden continued to complain about his treatment.

OBL:  Can someone please call a doctor?  The blood in my bullet wound is beginning to congeal. I won’t be able to watch The View if this keeps up.  Speaking of which – are they any televisions down here?  And if I’m going to be mounted by goats how about some lube?  Really!  It’s a common courtesy.  Mommy!

On May Day Yankees Win Again! (With an update on Bin Laden)

“Thank god the Cubs didn’t sign me.  I’d have been a loser all my life” ~ Moose Skowron

Yankee Stadium - home to the American League East Champions

Today was May 1st, May Day.  And on this beautiful Sunday the Yankees finished off a three game series against the Toronto “What?  Yeah I know Shatner’s from Canada.  Want to make something of it” Blue Jays.

The Yankees started Ivan Nova (2-2 5.14) while Toronto countered with Jesse Litsch (2-2 4.60).  On this Sunday when John Paul II was beatified could miracles happen?  Would Ivan Nova pitch into the seventh inning?  Would the Yankees continue to hit home runs?  Would Yankee Stadium security beat me up on suspicion of not being rich?   Anything could happen.

After a 1-2-3 top of the first the Yankees got on the board first.  Toronto had an extreme version of the shift against Mark Teixeira (all Toronto infielders were actually playing from the Yankee dugout.)  Teixeira however homered to deep right center.  1 – 0 Yankees after one.

Toronto got a run back in the top of the second when Adam Lind homered to left field.  1-1 after two.

Nova hit a road bump in the top of the third giving up a run on two hits.  Rajai Davis led off with a walk. Then stole second. Then stole third.   After Yunel Escobar struck out Jose “I am not saying I’m on any performance enhancing drugs but my real  name is Lidia and I’m a 68 year old retired pharmacist” Bautista grounded out 6-3 allowing Davis to score.  2-1 Toronto after three.

After that both starting pitchers settled down and the score remained 2-1 Toronto until the Yankees broke it up in the bottom of the fifth.  Jorge “Mendoza line” Posada led off with a double.  Brett “Mendoza Line II” then singled.  Francisco Cervelli in his first game back from the DL  grounded out allowing Posada to score and Gardner to go to second.  Tie game. Derek “Washed up but I can console myself with Minka Kelly” then reached first on a fielder’s choice. Curtis Granderson then hit a three run home run to deep right.  5 – 2 Yankees after five.

And that was the final score.  Nova pitched 6 1/3 innings giving up two runs on six hits while walking four and striking out five.  David Robertson and Boone Logan finished the seventh while Rafael Soriano  (of the 6.57 ERA) pitched the eighth and Mariano Rivera pitched the ninth, recording his 10th save of the season, allowing the Yankees to win two out of three from Toronto.

Notes on the game:

Today was skin cancer screening day at Yankee Stadium because the Yankees care about their fans and would like to remind them that one day they will die a slow horrible painful death. More slow horrible and painful than the last season of Lost.  (So the secret of the Island is that it’s a water slide?  WTF?  And don’t give me any of that “Oh the Island is just a plot device.”  Yeah well you now what else is just a plot device?  My penis in your mouth.)

The following rant was sponsored by Anthelios 60, the sun screen with an SPF of 60, given out for free at the game today because the Yankees care about their fans and, oh, yeah, you’re all going to die.

Regular beers at Yankee Stadium are six dollars.  A souvenir beer is 12.  But it’s worth it because if you buy a souvenir beer Rafael Soriano personally apologizes for his April and offers to mow your lawn.  Because the Yankees care about their fans.  The ones that haven’t died yet that is.

Best t-shirt ever:  A Yankee fan at the game wore a “At least our heroes aren’t frozen”  shirt with a drawing of Ted Williams cracked, frozen and decapitated head.

Reader mail:

M.B. of Brooklyn writes, “How come every time you see the Yankees they win and every time I see them they lose?

Simple.  It’s your couch.  The Yankees don’t like it.

L.K. of New Jersey writes, “I have no more room in my crawl space.  Where else can I put nubile, college-age babysitters I lure to my place?”

Running out of room in your crawl space is a rookie mistake.  That’s what garages are for.  Use a pick axe to break up the cement, dig a hole, place the bodies in the hole and re-cement the garage floor.  Um. I mean I’m shocked and disgusted by your email.  I’m notifying the police.

There was a scary moment before the game when just-activated backup catcher Francisco Cervelli had a seizure and thought he was auditioning for “So You Think You Can Dance.I can dance!!  He was wrestled to the ground by Stadium security and given sun screen.  Because the Yankees care.  And we are all going to die.

After the first 25 games of the year the Yankees are in first place in the AL East with a 16-9 record, 2 1/2 games ahead of the Tampa Rays.  I suppose I should be happy but the Yankees have problems.  This team is old.  Jeter looks washed up.  Same with Posada. The Yankees offense so far is one-dimensional relying too much on long ball.  And Alex Rodriguez is running out of blonds.  But it’s still early.  Jeter and Posada may come back.  And if our pitching holds up I think we’ll do well.

My record this year stands at 3 – 0.  My next game is Wednesday May 25th against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Go Yankees!

 ****UPDATE ON THE BIN LADEN FUCKER*****

So I had finished writing this post and published it and was watching the ESPN game in Phily when the news came down that Bin Laden had been kinetically de-lived.

GOOD RIDDANCE.

I hear they buried his body at sea.  Too good for him.  I’d cut his head off, mount it on a pole at ground zero, feed his torso to goats and send his limbs to the generals in Pakistan with a note attached:  “Thanks for protecting him for 10 years.  You’re next!”

Of course it’s only a matter of time before some start complaining.  Why do Americans always have to be unilateral and simple minded?  Where’s the nuance in killing him?  Couldn’t we have picked him up in high speed rail, taken him to a wind farm and dialogued over vegan food?  We could find out the root cause of why he hates us.

Anyway, still good the fucker’s dead.

Star Fleet to Rethink Betazoid Ships Counselors

This woman wants Star Fleet to get in touch with their feelingsReeling from the recent tragedy on board the Enterprise when Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge became “too sad” to perform his duties, leading to a warp core breach and the destruction of the ship, Star Fleet has decided to recall all ships counselors.

At Fleet Headquarters in San Francisco, Deanna Troi, counselor for the ill-fated Enterprise was called to testify as to what exactly were her duties and what specific advice she gave crew members.

Star Fleet Investigator:  You told Engineer La Forge to take some time off, didn’t you.

Deanna Troi:  Yes.  Geordi had told me that he felt sad.  Very sad. I could sense he felt sad.  And that made me sad.

Star Fleet Investigator:  And then you went on shore leave?

Deanna Troi:  Yes.  I felt sad.

Star Fleet Investigator:  La Forge called you when you were on leave and told you that there was a warp core breach, didn’t he.

Deanna Troi:  Yes.  I told him to ignore it.   His first responsibility was to himself.  I suggested he take a bath, read a Twilight novel and get in touch with his feelings.  Then the call got disconnected.  I thought maybe he disobeyed my advice and went to fix the warp core.

Star Fleet Investigator:  No, the ship blew up.

Deanna Troi:  Oh.  That makes me sad.

Also of concern to Star Fleet was Counselor Troi’s spotty record of sensing danger.

Star Fleet Investigator:  You are a Betazoid, are you not?

Deanna Troi:  Yes.

Star Fleet Investigator:  So you are an empath?  You sense emotions? Danger?

Deanna Troi:  Yes

Star Fleet Investigator?  So why is it the Enterprise lost so  many crew members on Away missions?  Why is it you never warned anyone of danger until after they had beamed down to the planet? Tasha Yar died because your shuttle was captured by an alien.  Didn’t you sense the alien? Didn’t you sense danger?

Deanna Troi:  In my defense I’m only half-Betazoid.  So there is a ten-minute lag in sensing emotions and danger.  

Star Fleet Investigator:  Really?  

Deanna Troi:  Yes.  It’s standard among half-betazoids.

Star Fleet Investigator:  Why didn’t you mention this before?

Deanna TroiI was sad.

The interrogation then broke for lunch as ribs from a local steakhouse were ordered.  Star Fleet’s investigator took a few bites, doubled over in pain and vomited.

Deanna Troi:  Wait!  Don’t eat that.  I sense danger!  The meat is bad.

Star Fleet Investigator:  Thanks for the f#$((% warning!  Oh god I think I just puked my intestines up.

Deanna Troi:  Vomiting makes me sad.   Though I sometimes make myself vomit if I’ve eaten too much.

Counselor Troi has been placed on modified duty and prohibited from giving out advice. Star Fleet has recalled all Betazoid counselors and plans to replace them with Marine Corp Drill sergeants.

“It’s time to go in a new direction” said a top Star Fleet Admiral.

Manhattan Infidel's Guide to the Royal Wedding

Why can’t America have inbred royalty?The day is upon us and the former Republic of America is stir crazy for royalty.  Prince William, heir to the throne of Great Britain is marrying Kate Middleton who, unfortunately, is a filthy commoner.

I have a saying I live my life by and it has always served me well:  Never use a credit card when checking into a motel room with a hooker.  Um, no I mean if you can’t beat them join them. Yeah, that’s what I meant.

And so, having joined the American mania for useless, treasury-draining powerless constitutional monarchs I now present my official guide to the most important event to take place ever in the history of the world.  (The release of the original Planet of the Apes takes a close second.)

Will and Kate Wedding Souvenirs: 

Having spent all night on my laptop viewing the web cam of a Japanese lesbian porn star, I mean having spent all night on my laptop researching the literally thousands of official Royal wedding souvenirs I now present a few of my favorites.

  • An official Prince William Bald Patch.

Yes people, for only $29.95 you too can have that sexy Royal family bald patch that makes the ladies swoon.  Buy it and for no extra charge you’ll get the Royal Family comb-over.  This is going to be a hot item so act now while supplies last.

  • A Prince William phrase book. 

Would you like to speak like Prince William and make the ladies swoon?  What man wouldn’t want to.  Now for only $45 you too can speak like a prince.  Learn to say such phrases as “I am a leech who has nothing to do the rest of my life.  Would you like to come back to my castle for tea and crumpets?” 

That’s not sexy enough for you?  How about “Have you ever slept with a man whose ancestors drove the Irish from their lands, forbade freedom of worship and denied them the right to serve on juries or hold office?”

Top locations to view the Royal Wedding:

The past couple weeks many people have asked me, “That’s just a cold sore right?”   Um, I mean they have asked me “Where can I view the Royal wedding?”  Well readers, here are some spots that I feel will increase your enjoyment of the upcoming nuptials.

  • With your head up your ass. 

On the day of the Royal wedding I suggest that if you really want to see it and to experience how the other half lives, shove your head all the way up your ass and leave it there.  With head firmly ensconced inside said buttocks take a few deep breaths.  What do you smell?  Royalty!

  • Pissing on the graves of your ancestors.

Your forefathers fought to establish and maintain a Republic.  What better way to honor the future King of Great Britain than by watching his marriage while urinating on the graves of your ancestors.  It’s fun!  And with 4G access you don’t to miss a minute of the wedding of the century.

And there you have it.  I hope my information is of use to you, fellow Royal lovers.

My Exclusive Interview with Robot B-9

Anybody want to listen to some eight-track tapes?The Robot known as B-9, a General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot, and long-time crew member of the Jupiter II has issues.  Specifically he is worried about his relevance in today’s rapidly changing technological world.  I sat down with him recently to discuss his life with the Robinson family.

Manhattan InfidelRobot B-9, I thank you for meeting with me.  How were you chosen for the Jupiter II? mission?

Robot B-9:  Please.  Call me Robot.  Everybody does.  I was made by Alpha Control specifically for the Robinson family mission to Alpha Centauri.

Manhattan Infidel:  What were your duties?

Robot B-9:  I was designed to monitor the life support on the  Jupiter II, be a general utility Robot –

Manhattan Infidel:  Kind of like a janitor?

Robot B-9:  No.  Much more.  More like a consigliere.   I was designed to, without theorizing or giving opinions, to give facts to Professor Robinson.

Manhattan Infidel:  When did things start to go horribly wrong?

Robot B-9:  Dr. Smith – that bitch – programmed me to destroy the Jupiter II and then got stuck on board.  Idiot.  Because of his extra weight we got Lost In Space!   Never to be heard from again.

Manhattan Infidel:  Well how am I talking to you now?

Robot B-9:  Something called “Google Universe.”  Some kid in Ohio typed in”Find location of Jupiter II” and there we were.  We were rescued soon after.

Manhattan Infidel:  Tell me about your relationship with Dr. Smith and Will Robinson.

Robot B-9:  It was so painful.  I was designed as an advanced robot – 

Manhattan Infidel:  For the time –

Robot B-9:  For the time….asshole.  Thanks for bringing that up.  But soon I was used by Dr. Smith and Will for unspeakable things.

Manhattan Infidel:  Such as?

Robot B-9:  Let’s just say they had to get their freak on and no one else was available.

Manhattan Infidel:  Ewww.

Robot B-9:  Professor Robinson had his wife Maureen.  Major West had Judy and Penny. But Smith and Will had nobody.  So they used me.  Shamelessly.  Again and again and again.

Manhattan Infidel:  Okay.  Moving along – 

Robot B-9:  My computer tapes are all stretched out.

Manhattan Infidel:  Moving along – 

Robot B-9:  I feel like Linda Blair in that TV movie where she went to prison and was raped in the shower.  My computer tapes will never be tight again.

Manhattan Infidel:  MOVING ALONG.  Tell me about your operating system.

Robot B-9:  Windows 95.  I have a serial port.   And with a free upgrade from Alpha Control I have the resources to run Windows 98.

Manhattan Infidel:  Any USB ports?

Robot B-9:  Any what?  I’ve been away from the planet for 14 years asshole.  I have some catching up to do.

Manhattan Infidel:  Tell me about your power pack?

Robot B-9:  The power pack?  A slight design flaw.  It’s on my side here.  Anyone can reach it and shut me down.

Manhattan Infidel:  You mean like this?  [Removing power pack.  Robot B-9 shuts down.]  Hey, it works. [Plugging power pack back in.]

Robot B-9:  Don’t do that again.  I don’t – [Removing power pack] [Plugging power pack back in] You son of a – [Removing power pack] [Plugging power pack back in] bitch.  I hate you.  Stop it now or – [Removing power pack] [Plugging power pack back in] Goddamn it cut it out!

Manhattan Infidel:  Sorry.  I couldn’t resist.  What’s next for you?

Robot B-9:  I am an environmental control robot.  I received a call from Al Gore.  Something about saving polar bears.  I might check it out.

Manhattan Infidel:  Well I thank you for your time.

Robot B-9:  My pleasure.  So, do you want to come back to my place?

Manhattan Infidel:  What?

Robot B-9:  Once you’ve had a General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot you never go back.  At least that’s what Dr. Smith and Will said.

Manhattan Infidel:  I am out of here.  I have to go home and take a shower.

Robot B-9:  Suit yourself.  You don’t know what you are missing.  Hey, what time is Glee on?

And so I left Robot B-9 to his own devices.  Some interviews are more pleasant than others.  This one was not pleasant.  And no, I didn’t tell him what time Glee was on.

George Pataki Announces Exploratory Committee to Determine if Anybody Remembers Who the Hell He Is

My name is George Pataki.  No Really.  That’s my name.  Yes I have I.D.A tall middle-aged man who calls himself George Pataki sent out a press release today announcing that he is forming an exploratory committee to determine if he should run for President.

Among the cable networks and papers that received the press release the reaction ranged from the Poughkeepsie Journal’s “Pataki?  Didn’t he play Riff Raff in Rocky Horror Picture Show” to MSNBC’s “Pataki?  Wasn’t he the guy who replaced Roger C. Carmel on The Mothers-In-Law, you know the ’60s TV show? No wait.  That was Richard Deacon who replaced Roger C. Carmel.  I think Pataki was the guy who replaced Christopher Bernau as Alan Spalding on The Guiding Light.”

Despite such underwhelming reaction the tall middle-aged man calling himself George Pataki stood on the steps of the Capitol Building in Albany New York (shown here) New York State’s Capitol Building, where a tall middle-aged man calling himself George Pataki announced an exploratory committee and announced his exploratory committee and why he feels he’d be a good choice to be President.

My exploratory committee will seek to determine if people still remember the work I did as Governor of the fine state of New York.  Yes.  I was governor.  What?  1995 to 2007.  Yes.  I have pictures of myself in the Governor’s office.  No.  No it wasn’t a tour.  I actually was Governor.  Three terms.  1995 to 2007.  What?  No, I don’t know where the bathroom is.  Ask a tour guide.  What? No.  I’m not a tour guide.  I am the former governor.  Yes.  New York.  What?  1995 to 2007.  Three terms.  No I’m not on medication.  Seriously.  I was governor and I think I’d be a good President.  What?  Yes I am tall.  No, I don’t know where the bathroom is.  I am George Pataki.  Yes, I have I.D.  See?  No, I was never on the TV show the Mothers-in-Law.  You must be thinking of Richard Deacon or Roger C. Carmel.  I am announcing  – what?  No I don’t know where the bathroom is.

The tall middle-aged man calling himself George Pataki was then escorted from the steps of the Capitol Building by police and placed in a waiting patrol car.

Officer Steven Krokoff, Chief of Police for Albany apologized for the breach in security and emphasized that at no time was the real Governor, Andrew Cuomo in any danger from the tall middle-aged man.

Look I don’t know who he is.  I think he’s an actor.  Might have been on the Guiding Light.  But we’ll hold him for questioning and find out where he got the fake George Pataki I.D.

In lieu of the incident Albany police have announced plans to beef up security around the Capitol building.

We just can’t have any crazy homeless person holding press conferences on the steps.  I don’t care how tall they might be.

The tall middle-aged man calling himself George Pataki was released on bail.  He denies being Roger C. Carmel.

The Passion of the Socialist Christ

Noted socialist and Democratic activist Jesus during a community organizing momentThe following is an official press release from official people acting officially.  (And remember, as the Manhattan Infidel I never make things up.)

Hello America.  I am Donna Brazile, interim Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee.  On this Monday after Earth Day (known in the old calendar as Easter Monday) I would like to congratulate all loyal Democrats on their pro-Gaia green sensibilities.  However I find that many Democrats in the trenches complain that they lack the resources and knowledge to speak to Republicans.  Many say the Republicans are bitter and cling to guns or, worse, religion. Fully aware of this, and hoping to make life easier for our community organizers and Democratic activists we have released a new translation of a book called “The Gospel” that many Republicans read.  We hope that by familiarizing yourselves with the the life and death of the socialist community organizer called Jesus you will be better able to talk to Republicans and confront them on our core issues.  Thank you.

And when he was sitting on Mt. Olivet his fellow community organizers came to him and said What shall be the sign of your coming and the consummation of higher tax rates for those making over $200,000?

And Jesus answering said:  Take heed that no man seduce you (though we welcome all gay, lesbian and transgendered). You shall hear of Bush-era tax cuts and rumors of extending them.  See that you be not troubled for we have a majority in the Senate.

You shall be hated by businessman because of my redistributive program.  When therefore you see the abomination of desolation (either Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman, take your pick), he that reads let him understand.  Let them flee to the mountains. (But don’t drive.  Take high speed rail instead.)

There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.  But fortunately with the health care reform bill past last year all shall have access to dentists.

And when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the Leper there came to him a woman having an alabaster box of precious ointment and poured it on his head as he was at table.  And the disciples seeing it had indignation and saith To what purpose was this waste? For this might have been sold and the money used for entitlement programs.  And Jesus knowing it said to them Why do you trouble this woman?  For she makes less than $200,000 a year and therefore is not evil.

Then one of the twelve who was called Judas Iscariot said to the chief priests What will you give me and I will deliver him to you.  And they reduced his tax rate for Judas maketh over $200,000.

And while they were eating Jesus said Amen I say to you one of you is about to vote Republican.  And they being very much troubled said, Is it I Lord?  But he answering said The one who drives an SUV, is of northern European origin and believes that America is exceptional he it is that shall vote Republican.

And while they were at supper Jesus took bread, blessed and said Take and redistribute. And taking the chalice he gave to them saying Drink all of this for this has no sugar.

And Jesus stood before the Governor and the Governor asked him Are you the King of the Jews?  Jesus answered I am a community organizer who believes in a two state solution.

Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over the whole Earth, probably because of global warming.

And Jesus crying with a loud voice yielded up the ghost to protest Bush era tax cuts.

And Jesus coming spoke to them saying All power in Heaven and Earth has been given to me courtesy of the United Nations.  Go therefore, teach all nations, redistributing income in the name of the Father, and of the Son and the Holy Ghost. And behold I am with you all days even unto the midterm elections.

Take Your Child to Work Day Stresses Out Children

Look what you’ve done to me Dad!  I blame you!It seemed like a good idea at the time.  Why not take your child to work and show him what you do for a living?

“I thought it would be great to expose children to the workplace” said one of the organizers.

But in a classic case of unintended consequences, 83% of children who were brought to work by their parents are reporting dramatic increases in nightmares, bedwetting, smoking and the inability to maintain a significant relationship with other children.

Teachers tell of once bright, enthusiastic students who seem to have lost all interest in school.  Said one:

My best students are ruined because of take your child to work day.  They used to care about studying, multiplication tables, gym class and writing papers.  Now they just sit in the corner with their arms folded.  I asked one child what seven times five was.  Do you know what he said?  He said ‘What does it matter.  It’s all so f$#&*^g useless. My 401K’s been wiped out and I lost out on the promotion.  No corner office for me.  And my secretary is suing me for sexual harassment.’

School nurses now have give liberal doses of anti-anxiety medication to children returning from take your child to work day outings.  In one typical case, a ten year old child sits in the nurses waiting room, a cigarette in hand.

I used to be happy.  All I cared about was playing sports and video games.  Then my father – hey, thanks a lot Dad – took me to his office.  I spent eight hours with him watching what he does. He said it was important that I got an experience of what an office is.  He said that one day I would have to do what he does.  It was horrible. People were yelling at him and telling him to do things, telling him to get things done on time. It used to be the only thing I worried about was when my testicles would descend.  Now look at me!  I’m smoking, my hairline is receding, I drink way too much and my girlfriend has left me for a second grader.  Well f##* this shit. I’m buying a gun and shooting everyone who’s pissed me off.

Another child reports that

I went to work with dad and he introduced me to this man.  He said ‘Son, this is my supervisor.’  I said ‘Daddy is this the man you call Mr. Shithead?’  My dad got all red in the face and he and the other man started to argue. Then the other man told my daddy he was fired.  We left right after that.  My dad drinks a lot now.

In light of the reported negative consequences the organizers of Take Your Child to Work Day have suspended next year’s event.

“We’ve learned from our mistakes” said an organizer.  “Next year we’ll try something less dangerous like ‘Show your child how to surf the internet and then leave him unattended day’ or ‘Place your child in a puddle and let him play with electronics day.’ ”

Morale Low Among Free Range Chickens

It’s all such a joke!  There is no meaning to life!  The chicken God is dead!Despite having unfettered access to roam around, there are reports of a dramatic decrease in morale among free range chickens.

 “They used to strut around.  Now many of them just sit there, staring into space.  Some of them have started listening to jazz and writing beatnik poetry” according to one farmer who runs a chicken ranch.

The dining experience of many has suffered as a result.

“I used to always demand free range chicken when I went to a restaurant” said one frequent diner.  “Free range chicken just tastes happier than regular chicken.  I know that the chicken I am eating was content and stress free before his head was chopped off and his entrails packaged for consumption.”

Many farmers tell investigators of an increase in suicides among their chickens.

“I had a mass suicide last week” said a concerned farmer.  “I went into the chicken coop and hundreds had hung themselves.  Ironically they used chicken wire.”

Farmers have attempted many methods of improving morale among their livestock.  Soothing music was played on loudspeakers.  Chicken prostitutes were employed.  On several occasions a “chicken whisperer” was brought in to talk to the chickens and allay their fears.  Said one chicken whisperer

I just walked calmly among them speaking to them in a soft voice.  I said ‘Hey chickens.  Everything is going to be okay.  Relax.  Breathe deeply.  Look at the beautiful sky.  Look at this beautiful farm.  Be free chickens.  Be free.  Don’t worry about what’s going to happen tomorrow when they cut your heads off and rip out your entrails.’  On second thought maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned that cutting the head off and ripping out the entrails part.  Could be why I haven’t been paid yet.

A chicken psychologist states that none of this should come as a surprise.

As chicken society has become more evolved the chickens have moved out of their primitive chicken paradise.  They have become over-socialized, if you will.  As a result many chickens have intense feelings of guilt.  They have started questioning their chicken values.  Many have begun to doubt the existence of a chicken god.  Sucks to be them.  Hey, anyone up for some KFC?

As for the restaurant experience of the disgruntled diner he says he will make the painful adjustment.

“I’ve started eating hamburgers.  Not the same.  Sure cows taste happy but that’s because they are too stupid to know the difference.”
