Pain in the Ass Dad Ruins it for Everyone

Pain in the ass dad ruins it for everyoneA 40-year old director, cinematographer and father attached a camera to a Thai-food takeout container and a weather balloon and successfully launched it 100,000 feet into the upper reaches of the atmosphere, sending back photos of the Earth’s curvature and the darkness of space.

Dads throughout the world are not amused.

“I was going to take my kid camping” said one distraught father.  “Now he won’t even talk to me unless I build a spaceship for him. I mean I work 12-hour shifts.  I don’t have time to build him a spacecraft.  Damn brat.”

Since the launch of the homemade space capsule 911 operators throughout the country are reporting an alarming increase of calls from mothers who are reporting that their husbands are doing nothing but “sitting in the back yard drinking beer and shooting at the neighbor’s dog.

Psychiatrists believe that the adult male may have been stretched to the breaking point by this recent event.  Said one psychiatrist:

The adult male has to do so much to maintain a positive self-image.  From being the breadwinner and providing for one’s family, to being a good husband and lover to being a role model for their children.  They try and often succeed.  But now?  If you can’t make a spacecraft you’re a failure.  Look at the trickle down effect:  Loss of self-esteem.  Work suffers.  Trouble satisfying the wife.  No wonder they sit in the back yard shooting Fido.

Another analyst had dire warnings for humanity:

Earthquakes, tidal waves, mass destruction on an apocalyptic scale! Lindsay Lohan may go back to jail!  All this will happen soon if we don’t get fathers out of the backyard.  We need them engaging in life.

Typical of recent events is the story of one father who had to be talked down from jumping off a window ledge.

Nothing I do is good enough for my son. All he wants is a space ship!  I even brought home a hooker for him.  ‘Here’s a hooker son.  Your father loves you.’   Nothing!  He says I’m not cool anymore.

Congress is considering hearings to inquire into whether limits should be placed on what a father can do to impress his son.

“We don’t want mass suicides” said one congressman.

As for the father in question who sent to weather balloon aloft, he is having second thoughts.

None of my neighbors are talking to me anymore, except to call me an asshole.  I have to eat lunch at work alone.  I don’t know.  I just don’t think it was worth it.  Sure it was nice to get my son’s approval but if I had to do it over again I would have taken him to a baseball game or given him some of my old Playboys instead.

Bill Clinton Endorses Krystal Ball for Congress

Vote for Krystall Ball and she’ll suck your fake penis noseFormer President Bill Clinton has come to the defense of embattled congressional candidate Krystal Ball.  Since pictures of candidate Ball have surfaced recently that show her in compromising positions many have abandoned her in her attempt to win office.  But not President Clinton.

“I stand firmly behind Miss Ball” said Clinton.  “It is time we erect the hard principles of the Democratic party in this district and Miss Ball is the one who raises my admiration.”

Miss Ball, who was leading in the race has had to defend herself after pictures surfaced of her and her ex-husband at a college party. Her ex husband is wearing a sex toy on his nose and she plays with it.  Said Miss Ball:

It was a college party.  We were celebrating the end of the semester.  We had finished all our tests and were relaxing.  Come on!  Haven’t any of you ever been at a college party?  So I was sucking on my ex-husband’s fake penis nose.  You should see the photos from the party that haven’t been made public.  You try having sex in a hot tub with six naked cheerleaders.  It’s not easy.  There’s a lot of slippage involved.  I mean my breasts ended up in crevices I thought were physically impossible.

When Miss Ball mentioned the cheerleaders and the hot tub President Clinton was quick to come to her defense.

“I love this woman!  She’ll fit right in in Washington” he said before handing her a cigar.

Clinton also commented on the photos.

This is a scandal?  These photos are rather tame.  Stroke my fake dick nose please Come on.  I  have photos of Hillary in college being mounted by rottweilers.  But I still married her.  Well, after a series of  long, drawn-out and painful rabies shots that is.

This is not the first time a Democratic candidate for office was faced with a sex scandal.  During his 1952 run for President, Adlai Stevenson would often dress up as ’40s era Big Band singer Martha Tilton.  Between campaign stops he would entertain the Secret Service with his rendition of “And the Angels Sing.”

In addition to former President Clinton, Miss Ball has received the endorsement of a group calling itself  “Men Who Like to Wear Fake Penis Noses.” Said the group’s founder:

For too long we have been shunned and relegated to the dark corners of society.  No more!  Miss Ball understands our frustrations and we heartily support her. Yes we do.  Oh yes…..yes……YES OH GOD YES! YES OH GOD YES!!!!  Hey, is that hot wax?

A companion group, “Women Who Love Men Who Wear Fake Penis Noses” has also announced plans to endorse Ball.  In a statement released today the organization said:

We feel that at this critical juncture in American history candidate Ball is the best person for the office.  Now get on your knees.  You need discipline bitch.

Osama Bin Laden, Al Gore Team up for Reality TV Series

I want to save the Earth and kill the great SatanLet’s save the environment first, then kill the great satanMTV networks has announced that a new reality show featuring Osama Bin Laden and Al Gore, in which the two battle each  other while trying to save the environment, has been added to their lineup of new shows.

In a statement released today Judy McGrath, chairman and CEO of MTV Networks said:

MTV cares about the environment.  We want to do our part to help stop climate change and the resultant destruction of Mother Earth.  Accordingly we are pleased to have one of the greatest figures of the past decade on board.  With his intellect, charisma and humor he will challenge our viewers to become better stewards of Mother Earth.  And we also have Al Gore, who will provide much needed comedy relief.

The new show, tentatively entitled “Saving the Earth (One Infidel at a Time)” will feature Bin Laden and Gore in a variety of situations around the globe as they try to combine their conflicting agendas (one wants to protect the environment, the other lost the 2000 presidential election) without driving each other crazy.

We see it as a modern-day Odd Couple type of show with a moral agenda.  Just think of the humor as earthy, rugged Bin Laden invites stuffy Al Gore to live with him in his cave.  Or the slapstick involved when Gore invites Bin Laden to dinner in New York and Bin Laden has to adjust to high society and flush toilets.  Bin Laden might lecture Al on the evil of indoor plumbing and how it is leading to rising sea levels and flooding of Muslim countries.

A preview of a scene from the series shown to reporters showed Gore wandering through Bin Laden’s cave in Pakistan with a duster as he attempted to clean the cave and bring it up to his standards of cleanliness.  Gore then asks where the bathroom is as he has to “answer nature’s call.”  He is given a bucket by Bin Laden and told to relieve himself outdoors and spread his manure onto the fields to act as fertilizer.

“I am Al Gore.  I do not defecate in buckets!”

The scene was highly praised by critics.  Said McGrath:

You see!  You see!  This show is going to be a comedy goldmine!  We already have sponsors lined up.

In a joint interview, Bin Laden and Gore stressed that while they may have differences of opinion they both want to stop climate change.

Bin Laden:  Climate change is very dangerous.  Pakistan is flooding because of it.  We must save the environment and kill the infidel.

Gore:  I agree with my friend Osama that we must prevent climate change.  Of course we disagree on certain things like killing infidels and the need for indoor plumbing.  If I can get him to agree to put a flush toilet in his cave that would be a good start.

Bin Laden:  Flush toilets lead to rising sea levels.  The science is settled on this.

Gore: Just one flush toilet won’t hurt will it?  I’m not comfortable using a bucket for my bodily functions.

Bin Laden:  Elitist!

Gore:  Yeah, well you stink.  When was the last time you washed your robes?

Bin Laden:  I do not use detergent.  They damage the environment.

Gore:  What about soap?

Bin Laden:  You are fat.

Gore:  You see what I have to  put up with?  I love the man but he’s driving me crazy.

The show will premiere immediately after the Super Bowl.

Mets Fire GM, Manager; Move in "New Direction"

Fred Wilpon, owner of the Mets at press conferenceAs long expected, The New York Mets fired General Manager Omar Minaya and Manager Jerry Manuel.

“The past two years have been very painful for the Mets, their fans and my liver” said owner Fred Wilpon as he reached for his bottle of Jack Daniels.

Stating the all options are on the table and that the Mets will move in an “exciting new direction” Wilpon said that he is expanding the search for a new GM to those beyond the field of “baseball lifers.”

“We need new ideas.  And frankly I don’t have any.”

Wilpon then explained the reason for the Mets collapse:

Usually every night I grab a hooker, bring her back to my place and we drink cheap booze until I pass out in a puddle of my own vomit.  Then I wake up in the morning and read the standings in the paper.  Trouble was I’m usually so hung over and disorientated I was reading the standings upside down.  I thought we were in second place locked in a tight pennant race with the Nationals.

Wilpon added that the Mets have achieved little success playing it safe with executives with baseball experience and then gave reporters a list of people he thinks would be good GMs for his team.

  1.  Isiah Thomas knows New YorkIsiah Thomas.  “He’s charismatic, has experience in the front office, knows New York and he’s a negro.”
  2. Walt Whitman, poet, baseball lover, dead manWalt Whitman.  “He’s from Brooklyn and he once wrote a poem about baseball.”  When reminded that Whitman is dead Wilpon responded, “Don’t bother me son with your bourgeois platitudes.  Where’s my booze?”
  3. Where’s the kaboom?  There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!Marvin the Martian.  “He’ll be cheap as the exchange rate between dollars and Martian currency is very favorable.  And if KROD beats anyone else up Marvin can use his Illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator on him.”

As far as their new manager, Wilpon stated that the Mets need discipline.

Manuel was too easy on the players.  We need a tough taskmaster, a no-nonsense drill sergeant type who will instill fear into our players.  Accordingly we are leaning towards hiring either Benito Mussolini or Michelle Obama.

Wilpon then ended the press conference by drinking from his bottle of JD and passing out in a puddle of his own vomit.

Times Square Car Bomber Sentenced to Life in Prison; Motive May Never be Known

What were his motives?Faisal Shazad, the 31-year old Pakistani immigrant who parked a car filled with explosives in Times Square last May was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

U.S. District Court Judge Miriam Goldman Cederbaum pronounced the sentence during a court appearance that was shown on live television.

Shazad recounted how he bought quantities of Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator from a contact known only as Marvin Martian with the intent of setting off a devastating explosion that would kill hundreds of New Yorkers.

“Brace yourselves” said Shazad.  “Because the war with Muslims has just begun.”

As Shazad mentioned war with Muslims many commentators watching the sentencing expressed surprise and wonder that an articulate and handsome Pakistani would resort to violent, racist tactics normally associated with the right-wing Tea Party movement.

Interviewed on local TV, New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg speculated that perhaps Shazad’s mind had become deranged as the result of nicotine addiction combined with racist right-wing politics.  “This type of addiction might send him over the edge.  Combine that with teabagging sympathies and you have a perfect storm of resentment.  Why else would he plant a bomb?”

Shazad continued ranting after the sentence was handed down.

“We do not want your freedom.  We have freedom with Sharia law.”

At the mention of Sharia law, MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann surmised that perhaps Shazad was obsessed with a woman named Sherry Law.

“Sexual frustration and the inability to connect emotionally with a woman might lead to violence.   I’m looking at you  Jenny Robinson who refused to go to the senior prom with me.  You are the worst person in the world.”

Shazad then jumped up and down while screaming “Death to the infidel!  Death to the infidel!  I want to kill the infidel!”

As Shazad screamed Christiane Amanpour of ABC News said, “I can’t quite make out what he is saying but I believe he is expressing opposition to President Obama’s agenda.  Yes, I distinctly heard him say he opposes health care reform.  This is so typical of insular, arrogant Americans.”

The FBI has announced that they intend to indict Marvin Martian as a co-conspirator in the bombing attempt.

“We have no idea who Marvin Martian is or what he looks like” said FBI chief Robert Mueller.  “But we are going to closely watch Tea Party rallies to see if anyone has any information on Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulators.”

Yogi Bear Shot, Killed by Rangers

Yogi Bear was a pest to humansYogi Bear, a notoriously mean bear in Jellystone National Park was shot and killed by rangers after it was had killed and eaten park employee Ranger John Smith.

Yogi Bear was a bear that park employees kept close tabs on.

“He was dangerous around humans” said one. “He would always approach picnickers and try to steal their food.  This obviously frightened a lot of them.  Business was down because of this.” 

Over the years in an attempt to foil Yogi Bear and his younger companion Boo Boo Bear special “bear-proof” garbage receptacles were placed throughout the park.

“We were hoping by doing this he would get the point and stop coming around and frightening the campers.”

However an unintended side effect of this is that Yogi, who was getting on in years was not able to compete with younger bears in his search for food.  Rangers at the park noted that when spotted recently he looked “mangy, mean and very hungry.”

On the day of the shooting Ranger John Smith ranger John Smith, dedicated park employee and bear food  had phoned saying that Yogi Bear was outside his cabin and “acting aggressively.”  Shortly after the call contact was lost with Ranger Smith.

Park employees in a small plane flew over Ranger Smith’s cabin.  They found Yogi Bear and Boo Boo feeding on what appeared to be a human ribcage.  Repeated buzzing of the location failed to dislodge the two bears who proceeded to eat the remains faster.

Park Rangers landed their plane a mile away and approached heavily armed on foot.  Once at the cabin they found a pile of fresh earth.  Upon removing the pile they found what was left of Ranger Smith – his head connected to a small piece of spine with a “frozen grimace” on his face.  An arm and several fingers were lying nearby.

Before they had a chance to recover the remains Yogi and Boo Boo appeared on the trail 100 feet from them.

“They knew we were there and they were heading straight towards us.”

Rangers grabbed their guns and aimed at the two bears shooting them several times.  They then approached the bears to ascertain that they were in fact dead.

“These were just mean bears” said one ranger.   “Now that they are dead we don’t have to worry about them.”

Park authorities plan a review of procedures when dealing with elderly bears.

“We don’t want this tragedy to happen again.  Ranger Smith was very popular.

In lieu of flowers rangers have asked that donations be made to the American Society for Not Being Eaten by Bears.

Mexico Celebrates Bicentennial by Having Entire Population Kidnapped

Mexico has been kidnapped!The celebration was about to begin.  Banners were hung in the plaza. It was the Bicentennial of Mexican Independence.    There was only one thing missing:  people.

“It was dark, deserted, desolate.  Not a living thing around for miles” said an American visitor.  “It was like going to Citi Field to watch the Mets.”

Calls to the Mexican Embassy went unanswered but an email sent out to reporters said in part:

Mexico is proud of its progressive reputation.  We are always looking towards the future.  With this in mind we pondered how best to celebrate our Bicentennial.  While oppressors like America celebrated it in traditional ways we have decided that the best way to celebrate would be with a new, modern Mexican tradition.  Accordingly we have ordered that every Mexican citizen be kidnapped by drug cartels.  Nothing says Mexico more right now than being kidnapped.  Hey, I have to go.  There are people at my door with guns.

While many are surprised by the decision, Mexican authorities defend their actions.

If you can’t beat them join them I say.  Kidnappings are a part of our culture.  It’s time to decriminalize kidnapping.  Besides, we’ve found that our citizens who weren’t being kidnapped were suffering from self-esteem issues.  They wonder why they aren’t good enough to get kidnapped.  Having everyone kidnapped will benefit the entire country.  Self-esteem will go up.  Resulting medical costs from trips to the ER for anti-depressants will go down. We’re hoping to expand the program by having all Mexicans in the U.S. kidnapped as well.  Hey, I have to go.  There are people at my door with guns.

Mexico tried kidnapping Americans but gave it up because Americans were too high maintenance.

“They were always whining that their blackberry couldn’t get a signal. They whined that the hideout they were being held in didn’t have wireless.  The women whined because we didn’t have DVDs of Sex and the City and what the hell is a Cosmo?” said one drug cartel member.

Mexico’s decision has had far-ranging consequences.  It has already been announced that France will celebrate Bastille Day in 2011 by surrendering. The Republic of Ireland will celebrate the anniversary of the Treaty with Great Britain (December 6th) by having a civil war.

The United States will celebrate July 4th in 2011 with a new progressive tradition:  ceding all constitutional rights granted under the ninth and tenth amendments to the Federal Government.

WJM News Producer Lou Grant Arrested

Ted Baxter in the arms of his murderer, producer Lou GrantLou Grant, Producer of WJM-TV’s 6 o’clock news was arrested today by local authorities for the murder of anchorman Ted Baxter.

Baxter’s disappearance last winter became front page headlines.  Many speculated that perhaps he had run off with long-time girlfriend Georgette Franklin or that he had taken a job at MSNBC.  The truth was much more sinister.

Shortly before 9 AM on the morning of December 20th, Baxter was murdered in his home by Lou Grant.  Baxter had discovered that Grant was having an illicit sexual affair with his subordinate Mary Richards and planned to blackmail Grant. He had apparently asked Grant to meet him at his place where he was to present Grant with evidence of his affair.

However, Grant had found out that Baxter knew.  Deeply in debt and unwilling to lose his job Grant agreed to the meeting but with the intention of killing Baxter.

As lover Mary Richards waited in his car Grant stabbed Baxter repeatedly.  He and Richards then cut Baxter’s body into pieces.  The head was cut off and boiled in the apartment. The rest of the body parts were disposed of in separate locations throughout Minneapolis.  An arm was found in the Metrodome.  Baxter’s left leg and torso were buried under home plate at the Twins’ new stadium.  Baxter’s penis was discovered in a bird feeder downtown.

Authorities were at first stymied in their attempts to find the killer until Mary Richards, perhaps distraught over what she had taken part in, turned herself in to authorities and agreed to give evidence against Grant in exchange for immunity.

“At first we didn’t believe her story” said a policeman.  “She was incoherent and kept muttering ‘Oh Mr. Grant!'”  

The police quickly came to believe her after she told them of the locations of Baxter’s body parts that she and Grant had buried over a period of days.

Grant’s lawyers are expected to plead innocent, stating that their client acted out of fear of an “irrational and cocaine-addicted Baxter.”

Unless Grant accepts a plea bargain the trial is expected to start in February of 2011.  Colleagues at WJM were shocked by the arrest.

“I never suspected a thing” said news writer Murray Slaughter.  “Well, I did once notice Lou was covered in blood.  And he did have a blood-encrusted knife in his office and a bloody severed foot he said was Ted’s.  But other than that I would never have suspected him.  I blame Richards.  She must have put him up to it.”

Democrats Rally to Get Out the Vote

John Kerry rallies to get out the voteWith only four weeks to go until the midterm elections top Democratic politicians have spread out across the United States rallying their constituents to get out and vote.

In Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, seeing the multitudes had voters recline on grass while he addressed them from the water, where his yacht was docked.

Now I don’t want to hear any of this crap about lack of enthusiasm.  Don’t you know all that your government has done for you?  For indeed, blessed are those who vote Democratic for the kingdom of socialism is theirs.  Blessed are the poor for redistributed income shall come their way.  Blessed are the clean of heart because they probably don’t smoke and smoking is almost as immoral as making over $250,000 a year.  Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall stop Israel from building new settlements.  Blessed are you when are reviled because of me for your reward will be great in Washington D.C.  Entitlements shall be yours.

He then boarded his yacht, turned to the crowd and gave one last blessing:

I better get this baby back to Rhode Island before someone taxes it.  Oh, and vote Democratic you stupid idiots.

At a fundraiser in New Hampshire, Vice President Joe Biden ripped off his shirt and challenged those in attendance to a fight.

You’re damn right I’m angry.  You people had better vote for us or I’m going to come to your house and use your bathroom!  So stop whining people.  Did your grandfathers whine when President Roosevelt landed on the moon and signed Medicare into law? Thank god these idiots don’t know that we’re going to have to steal from Medicare to fund Obamacare……what?  What do you mean my microphone is still on? This shit is bananas.  B-a-n-a-n-a-s.  This shit is bananas.  B-a-n-a-n-a-s!

The nation’s top Democrat, President Obama traveled to Madison Wisconsin to deliver the get out the vote message to a group of college students.

It is inexcusable for you to sit on the sidelines and not vote when I am commanding you to vote.  I mean, people, it’s not like any of you have any prospects of getting a job soon.  So you have time on your hands to vote.  I take credit for this.  So stop clinging to guns and religion and vote Democratic!

From Washington D.C. the Democratic National Committee, fresh from unveiling a new logo unveiled its new official midterm campaign slogan that it hopes will energize its base:

Loyal subjects of America.  Are you stupid or what? Vote Democratic.  Don’t force us to have Joe Biden use your bathroom.  There is a reason we call him “Colon Joe.”

In Surprise Move North Korean Leader Kim Jong-il Names Goat as Successor

The new Dear Leader of North KoreaIn a move that has surprised many observers of international politics, North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has named a goat as the new Dear Leader of the communist nation of North Korea.

Before the announcement it was thought that the front runners were his son, Kim Jong-un, his sister Kim Kyong-hui or Daffy Duck.

The goat, Kim Jong-baaaaah, is four years old and is already a major general in North Korea’s army.

Analysts praise the move, citing the fact that the goat, having lived his entire life on a diet of grass will be able to sympathize with the average North Korean.

“His grass-eating ways will endear him to the commoner in North Korea” said one political analyst.  “They (the common man) suffer through food shortages and often have to eat grass as well.  Now they can say ‘Our leader is one of us.’ ”

Not much is known about Kim Jong-baaaaah in the West other than the fact that he likes to defecate outdoors, attended Harvard and is considered something of a constitutional scholar in the goat community.

Excerpts from Bob Woodward’s new book, “Goat” portray Kim Jong-baaaaah as deep-thinking and at times anguished by the choices he has to make. Recently I sat down with Woodward and asked him about his impressions of Kim Jong-baaaaah.

“Well, he’s an intellectual as you know” said Woodward.  “He has a degree from Harvard. And so intellectually he realizes that the situation is very hard.”

I asked Woodward if Kim Jong-baaaaah seemed to be struggling with his new role.

Definitely.  Definitely.  I asked him point blank if North Korea had access to nuclear weapons.  He looked straight into my eyes and didn’t say anything at first. He put his head down and chewed on some grass. Then after a few seconds he raised his head, licked my hand and defecated on my shoes.  And for the first time I could see his internal struggle, his intellectual struggle.  Clearly this is a pacifist goat by nature but he’s dealing with the military.  He’s dealing with political advisers.  Kim Jong-baaaaah is going to be a deep-thinker on the world stage.

Hollywood already has plans to make a movie on Kim Jong-baaaaah’s life.  Those who have expressed interest in the role include Matt Damon and Sean Penn though it is believed that Sarah Jessica Parker has the inside track to play the goat.
