BILL CUNNINGHAM: Makes dirt look smart!
Next, there's Rush Limbaugh. He's the most talented of the lot. He's the fat boy who's pro-military, a supporter of family values and would show no mercy when some poor and uneducated black kid succumbs to the ravages of drugs. But remember, he's also the guy who could never get his own sizable posterior into a uniform during the Vietnam war, blew through three marriages like a hot knife through butter, and bought illicit pain killers from his house keeper who was apparently a physician on the side. Rush likes to say his brain is on loan from God. He might add that his girth is on loan from the Hindenberg.
Sean Hannity is the one who pretends to be informed but generally makes his point by calling folks with whom he disagrees names. He's always asking, "I'd like to know....?" If he could think, he'd probably find out. So, instead, he invites guests on like Dick Morris, resident Clinton basher. Morris used to work for Clinton. He used to brag about calling Clinton in the middle of the night while he was banging away with some hooker. It was the only way Morris could get a date. So, Hannity invites him on all the time to explain what's wrong with liberals. One thing that's wrong with them is that they used to count Morris among their members.
Finally, there must be the lowest of the lot. The one who is found on the underneath side of the bottom of the barrel. That person is Bill Cunningham. He does not like Barack Obama. He also didn't like John McCain until John won the Republican nomination. Now he's the 2nd coming. So, Bill the dwarf with the bad hair piece and a face made for radio is on another train ride bringing on authors who demand that Obama produce a birth certificate because they insist he wasn't born in America. Or, bring in school records to prove he wasn't raised Muslim. If Obama spent his time answering these absurd demands, there'd be no time left to campaign. "Prove where you were at 10:13 pm on Jan. 13, 1997 Obama or you're a commie bastard", and so forth.
Here's the deal Bill. Why not just read Obama's website. When you see his programs all laid out where you can read then two or three times, then you'll know his positions do not represent your interests. Then, go out and vote against him. That's what you're supposed to do. It's normal. And, it's actually a lot easier than making up all the Neanderthal lunacy of which you author yourself. Then, explain THAT to your parrot listeners. Prove for a change that America is not too dumb for democracy. Dare to be brave Bill. Cast off the bad wig, get a pair of elevator shoes and look like a real man for a change.
Have a nice day!

One Giant Leap for Mankind!
Before I had become acquainted with her, I had seen her on the T.V. She had been interviewed by some obscure reporter who was doing an expose’ on extra terrestrial experiences of the third kind, or maybe it was the forth kind. I cannot really remember. I never knew exactly what that meant, “the third kind”, but I do remember the movie with Richard Dreyfuss entitled, “Encounters of the Third Kind,” or something very much similar to that.
I had decided to go to a UFO convention with my friend Thomas. Thomas had seen much in his life as a Peace Corps volunteer, former science teacher and self taught computer wizard. One of the more positive things about Thomas was his open mind. Nevertheless, one of his greatest drawbacks was his open mind. I was intrigued at the thought of attending the UFO convention with Thomas who was plainly brighter than I. I should have, however, been more suspect when I learned the convention would be held in the commons area of a suburban mall.
There were thirty or forty so conventioneers in attendance and all looked like they had just gotten off work from their jobs at the local bowling alley. There was an array of displays of photos of UFOs with all the photos being very amateurish, out of focus or just plain unexplainable. One would think that with all these “scientists” in attendance, at least one of them could have taken a decent picture. I stood before one picture of a flying saucer and the description explained the nature of the structure and the probable use for the spoke-like attachments protruding from the center of the ship. The scale looked odd and against the trees in the background, one could not discern whether the UFO was very large or very tiny, housing little bitty folks from an entirely different universe than ours.
I had heard of the convention on the Art Bell radio program, a program one can only hear between
So, the listeners and Art Bell would document extra terrestrial activity which for some reason tended to focus near the area of Roswell, New Mexico where there exists a large ancient crater created by some huge outer space object bashing into the Earth millions of years ago, or as Biblical purist would explain, last Friday at 3:45 p.m.
These same folks were most definitely anti-government wogs, which explains my friend Thomas’s affinity towards them, even though he was himself a career government employee. A U.S.A.F. caption beneath the flying saucer photo I described above claims the fuzzy photo is not that of a UFO, but it is in fact the photo of a hubcap from a 1958 Mercury Zephyr, a car which has never even existed. Thus, the government’s explanation only served to exacerbate the validity or lack thereof in the argument concerning the existence of UFOs. Additionally, the spoke-like objects in the photo were explained by the government to be exactly that. Spokes!
It was now time for the featured event of the convention, a discussion by Beatrice VanDerkirk of her abduction by outer space aliens. Ms. VanDerkirk explains it as follows:
“I was sitting on the back porch after dark. I had just put some pie into the oven. The crust was perfect! That’s when a large glowing disk-shaped object that looked like a hubcap descended over my back yard and hoooovered for about twenty minutes or so”. (“Hoooovered” is how Ms. Vanderkirk pronounced the word we would know as “hovered” and was probably the result of her assumed Scandinavian background or this author’s laziness in not using his computer’s spellcheck feature).
Ms. VanDerkirk continued, “…well, after awhile, some smallish aliens, which I call beings of another kind, came out of their ship, down a ladder and proceeded to come upon the porch where I was sitting. At first, I had assumed they had smelled the baking pie from their mother ship. But, after awhile, and without saying a word, about a dozen or so picked me up, chair and all, and took me aboard their ship. Then, they closed the door, and the ship took off. Before I knew it, we were in outer space.”
“The spaceship seemed much bigger on the inside”, iterated Ms. VanDerkirk, “and, in addition to myself and the aliens, there were about 8-10 head of cattle. No cattle mind you, just the heads. As I was saying, it’s a known fact that outer space aliens have been mutilating cattle for years and getting away with it. Had I the presence of mind, I would have started to take some notes at this point, but my mind was back home, concerned with my unattended pie and I had completely neglected to bring a pencil and notepad."
“The ship was stocked with T.V. dinners and obviously the creatures had planned on a long voyage. Also, their food wasn’t exactly like ours, but that could have been a result of the meals having spent a long time in the freezer. The aliens were very accommodating with their food and being much smaller than most Earthlings, well, at least smaller than I, they possibly didn’t need the same calorie intake.”
“ While I was eating some frozen pork fritters, or the space version thereof, the ship zipped off and upwards into the sky above the weather. For awhile, I could look down and see some of the more identifiable landmarks on the ground such as Orville Johnson’s Country Buffetteria. Then it faded from sight. In no time at all we were passing by other planets and universes. Then, it happened. I started to feel woozy and became very sleepy. I think my hosts slipped me a mickey, although I never have been quite sure just what a mickey was. Anyway, shortly thereafter, I lost consciousness. And was neither able to rationalize on a high level, nor cipher without using my digits as place holders.”
“Several hours later, I awoke. Once I regained my faculties, I realized what they had done to me. Yes, they had had their way with me in the Biblical sense. SEX! It was a strange sensation. For, they did not have regular sex with me…not the kind we’re used to…I mean the kind I used to be used to. Once upon a time I mean. No, they had DIGITAL SEX with me. It was very highly advanced. Version 2.0…I believe. Anyway, they burned it to a disk and I’ve never made it public. In fact, I’ve even been afraid to watch it myself. Many months later, after returning to Earth, I offered the disk to the government for research purposes. They said they didn’t want it, that they didn’t really believe it. And besides, they didn’t even have computers yet that would read CDs. I’ve thought Nixon was an idiot ever since and it will be a cold day in hell before I’ll ever vote for another Quaker. Ultimately, I mailed the disk to L. Ron Hubbard and have never seen nor heard anything about it since."
The dialog of Ms. VanDerkirk seemed to have started to ramble and we in the crowd started to sense that we may just be dealing with a complete lunatic here. I observed one of the bowlers in the audience begin to scratch his arm pit beneath his bowling shirt with a bit of a frenzy…so much the pack of Camels he had rolled into his shirt sleeve fell upon the floor, dislodging the cigarettes from within the pack. Several others in the crowd scrambled for a free smoke, aggravating the man even more. He began to sputter and quiver a bit as I heard him shout to the lady, “ F-f-f-folger’s you say, Folger’s? And, where pray tell do aliens buy Folger’s in outer space I must ask?”
The look on Ms. VanDerkirk’s face at once became stoic. Her attempting to process what he was thinking and at the same time trying to formulate a believable answer caused her to freeze in time. She could sense she was about to be outed as a pasty old fraud. There had been no aliens, there had been no freeze dried Folgers and in fact, there had been no digital sex!
“I brought my children here to find out about the truth and all I got was a pack of lies about freeze dried coffee and digital pornography. I think you have some explaining to do you fat old bore!” shouted the soccer mom.
It was about this time mob rule was nearing a take over of the New Centre Mall when my friend Thomas who had wondered away from the seminar blurted out the statement that nearly caused a riot. Thomas had become weary of the old woman and had ambled over to a display of pen and ink sketches which had been put on display by the convention sponsors. These of course were really amateurish renditions of the imaginations of fools. All of the drawings showed aliens to have had two legs, two arms and one head, much like Earth people except some had three eyes or fingers. Why pray tell would beings who had evolved in completely differing environments and different sets of circumstances look so similar in nature to us? Bears and whales and bugs are Earth creatures. Yet, they are not like us so why a being from a zillion light years away would look so similar to us was perplexing. Well, leave it to Thomas to notice one glaring and distinct difference. He blurted out loudly, “Why do none of the aliens have any genitals?”
Parents herded their children. They shot daggers at Thomas with their looks, some even giving him the stink eye. Within a few moments, a public service announcement came over the mall’s intercom system insisting that all patrons of the mall exit the premises at once. Closing time was 45 minutes away. Crowd control must have been the answer. It was the only logical answer. Why close so early?
And so it was. We drove back to our homes in the city, saying not one word to each other. That was over a dozen years ago. I have not seen Thomas since our drive home that night. We simply lost interests in each other’s interests. Although before the drive was over, I had glanced out the passenger window of his ragged old Buick and peered into the night sky. I don’t know for sure what it was that went zipping by at a hypersonic speed, but it looked for all the world like the hubcap from a 1958 Mercury Zephyr, a car that did not exist, followed closely by an Air Force plane. To our left was a field with several headless cattle. The smell of freshly baked pie permeated the air. Still…… Thomas and I said nothing.

The Lottery Just drives me NUTS!!!
What makes matters worse is that he smells like my friend Willie did when he got stuffed into a trash can behind the Do-Drop-In in DeSoto, Kansas back in the 70s after his hippy butt decided it would be interesting to drop into the biker bar and have a beer with the boys. Instead, he found himself floating in a stew of stale beer, moldy French fries and half smoked cigarette butts which all things considered was better than having become the wife of one of the bikers, which he came closer to than getting the desired beer he sought.
So, you call the boss and tell‘em you’re going to need a couple days off because you’ve run into a jam and it’s got nothing to do with Grape Nuts. Now, I’m always hesitant to stop someone from going over to the dark side as there may be very personal and religious reasons for them doing so. I remember once stopping a guy in a truck stop from buying a $20 lottery ticket. I told him that his chances of winning were slimmer than being struck by lightening and that the whole scam was a ruse on the part of the state to tax stupid people who were supported through an array of handouts and welfare programs to placate them, that it was a way for the state to get that money back, and he would only see his family suffer his obvious loss of the $20. He thanked me and stood aside talking.
As we stood there, an obviously successful business type who had driven up in a Mercedes and looked for all the world to have more money than God, approached the counter and plunked down his $20 for the ticket that would have been the poor soul’s who I had just saved. BINGO! Just like that the business man hit a $40,000,000 instant winner and walked away joyously. I’ll never forget the look on my new, now ex-friend’s face.
He has to this day probably never considered the stress that all those winnings would have placed on him and is ignorant of how happy I probably made him. Of course, it could have been worse. I could have found myself in Willie’s trash can or worse yet, become his new sister-in-law.

HOBOKEN MAN STANGLED BY O’REILLY, LEFT HOMELESS:
Ultimately, when one takes the battle from the media, into the home of a private citizen, it’s time to call one out and demand accountability. Thus, Mr. O’Reilly owes Frank Funderburke of Hoboken, New Jersey (Joisey to natives) an apology and one should be demanded damned fast!
We uncovered this story while doing an investigation of upper scale homeless shelters where we lunch every Thursday because of a spicy but delightful Gazpacho in the offering or to uncover anyone feigning poor personal hygiene.
As Mr. Funderburke explains it, he had been a fan of the Factor” for years. “I liked the “no-spin-zone” approach to political discourse”, said Funderburke, where anyone in disagreement with O’Reilly was hollered at and tagged with an array of odd but insulting names. “The man is pure genius and if anyone disagrees, just ask him.”
So, as Funderburke watched from the comfort of his wheeless double-wide, his life began to become unraveled. “I had a bag of Mr. Kinkles under one arm and a beer in the other hand, the one on the other arm. As I reached into the bag for another potato chip, I was watching O’Reilly hawk some more of his paraphernalia. He’s got his books, Culture Warrior, Kids are Americans Too, he’s got his T-shirts, bumper stickers. I even became a premium member and got the underwear with the scratch-and-sniff O’Reilly skid marks. I had it all. Well, I thought I was in the club. But, while watching, I jammed a Mr. Krinkle under the finger nail of my middle finger, and I don’t know, but I think it was because of the salt that the finger started to sting.”
Funderburke continued….”O’Reilly , I usually call him Bill, was really going off on George Soros, his head was getting really big and it looked like the studio was about to explode. So, I pull this middle finger out of the bag and hold it up, right there in front of the T.V. It was an accident, it was. Had I not jammed my finger into that Mr. Krinkle, I’d still be in my living room.
Funderburke continued: “Well, I happened to glance at the T.V. Time seemed to just stand still. Bill isn’t talking and looks mad as hell. There I am flashing my throbbing middle finger at the screen. Next thing I know, the red starts to rise in Bill’s neck and his head now is the size oh a melon….not a small melon, but a water melon. Then, he sets down his notes, stands up, and walks right through the tube and into my living room. Whoever even thought that was possible?”
It was here I was starting to get just a little bit suspicious about Funderburke’s story, because I’ve never seen O’Reilly use notes. So, I took a breather and got up to fill my thermos with some extra Gazpacho. You see, soup is free at the homeless shelter and I always try to find a way to sneak some home. I’m not about to contribute to homeless obesity.
When I returned to the table, Funderburke had regained his composure and appeared to have come into a large plate of garlic bread sticks which he was cramming into his mouth like there was no tomorrow, and he was really worked into a lather. He’s waving his arms about his head and spewing chewed up garlic sticks everywhere.
“O’Reilly started bitch-slapping me all around my own place. He was screaming names at me, calling me a secular progressive and a pin-headed liberal. Then, he told me I was a Kool-Aid drinker! I don’t think he was being very fair or balanced.”
“He grabbed my brand new copy of the Hoboken Yellow Pages and began to whack me upside the head. I felt like I had let a Jehovah’s Witness into the double wide and he was knocking me about with three pound edition of the Watch Tower. There was beer everywhere and he bag of Mr. Krinkles went flying and got all ground up in the carpet with the beer and cigarette butts. I always regretted smoking after reading about what happened to the Johnsons twins. Anyway, it was here I passed out. I don’t know how long I was out and I don’t remember seeing O’Reilly leave, but a few hours later, I came to.”
“So, lying on the floor, on my back, stuck in a mix of potato chip starch, beer and ashes, the place smelled like pure hell. But, the smell could have been my 350 pound wife standing over me. She pulled her cell phone out of the crease in her obese earlobe and started screaming. I told her bout the whole O’Reilly deal. She said, ‘ I’ve had enough you miserable son-of-a-bitch’, which was actually quite a compliment because you have to be a man to be a son-of-a-bitch and she never considered me much of a man. As for O’Reilly, he won’t return any of my calls.
“That’s how I got to be homeless,” Funderburke iterated.
As for me, I don’t know whether to believe the guy or not. It all sounds fairly logical, but I have nevertheless decided that free Gazpacho is getting just a tad bit expensive for my taste. And, just o be safe, I won’t be watching any more of the “O’Reilly Factor”.

Illegal Immigration Problem Solved.
Well, what has completely escaped me before was the awareness that the reason illegals came here to begin with was to drive! I had always thought it was to work, but in retrospect, it all makes sense. Some of the places they come from don’t even have roads, let alone cars.
As usual, we have only dealt with part of the problem though. If we are going to completely stop the influx of illegals, we can’t just stop them from getting driver’s licenses. We must also stop them from getting cars. So, in order to be effective, we must be willing to execute any car dealer for treason who has been known to be dealing cars to illegals. The car dealers will try to resist this probably by claiming it’s not their role to be immigration enforcement officials. I say “balderdash”. They will say it’s impossible to tell if a buyer is an American or foreigner. Well, it’s this simple…if they are overweight and drive off with one hand on the wheel and the other on a cell phone, they are Americans.
Within no time at all, we Americans will be able to gain back all the jobs that the illegals took from us. You know, the jobs we shipped to India a few years ago that the illegals then came here and took away from us. I never could figure out how that deal worked.

Public Smokers are Really Getting on my Nerves!
Basically, I've always been a live and let live kind of person. But, sometimes what others decide to do while thinking it only affects them, has dire consequences for those of whom they are closest. Such it was with the Johnsons twins.
Al and Jacob Johnsons. They were Siamese twins, thus the "s" on the end of their last name. Al was a great baseball player. He played catcher and Jacob played right field.
Al was a student of the game and lived his life accordingly. Jacob, on the other hand, was a fool!
Infact, considering how they were joined, Jacob actually was kind of “on the other hand”.
Anyway, Al was in bed every night by 9:00 p.m. Jacob was out all hours of the night carousing with hookers and smoking women. Within no time at all, Jacob took up smoking himself and fell out of shape. Al continued to excel and participated in the International Special Olympics in Costa Rica one year playing two positions at the same time. He of course had to drag Jacob around the bases and such, but he was really that good.
Eventually, Jacob dropped out of the sport and became an accountant in New Jerk City. His hell-bent-for-life attitude and lethargic lifestyle resulted in his death at an early age.
Al’s performance suffered quickly due to his despair and having to drag Jacob’s corpse around like a big bag of potatoes. ( I love the word “potato.” Dan Quayle ruined his political future by telling a grade school child he had misspelled the word because the child had left an “e” off the end of it. Actually, the child was correct and Vice President Quayle was wrong....that is unless you want to put an “s” on the end of it. Then you must include the “e” first! The same does not hold true for the last name of Al and Jacob Johnsons. When you want to ad the “s”, you don’t use an “e” first. That’s because it’s their name and the rules are out on names.) So, that's it in a nuttshell. if you don't want to be a siamese twin, it's best not to smoke. Wait a minute! That doesn't make any sense...I'll have to go back to the doctor and ask him what the hell he was trying to say!

BILL O’REILLY RETURNS FROM AFGHANISTAN. Average I.Q. of both countries goes down. (Except in Afghanistan).
Only just last year, he declared there was a war on Christmas, and thus, Christianity. Then he started beating his drums…invited people to come on his program to debate, wherein he usually goes into a screaming rant and calls them names, like pin-head, anti-American and secular progressive (SPs). When challenged to identify them, he comes up with household names like George Soros and Tim Robbins and other highly influential people of this ilk who all hold the rope to the rings in our noses. But, HE has it figured out.
Anyway, he identifies this non-existent war wherein retail department stores instruct their employees to say stuff like “Happy Holidays” instead of Merry Christmas”, and this serves as proof there is a full frontal attack on Christmas and Christianity. Never mind that the Bible never mentions that the act of celebrating Christmas was to entail the spending of absurd amounts of money on plastic and electronic trash in order to celebrate the birth of the Savior….that’s a whole other issue, that is. In fact, Christmas isn’t even mentioned in the Bible at all.
Forgotten in all this mess is the fact that these stores exist to make a profit and rather than turning off 80% of the population with obvious insults, perhaps, JUST PERHAPS, they are trying to include the other 20% of the population made up of Jews, Muslims, Atheists….you name it…Guess that’s why O’Reilly doesn’t own any department stores.
But, what he does do is write books. Then, he hawks them endlessly on his radio show. And, he sells enough to get into the New York Times top 10 list. You can even become a PREMIUM SUBSCRIBER to his newsletter, so you can PAY to receive advertisements for his books. Now, that’s IS quite a deal isn’t it. Then, every week, at least one lobotomized listener will call to thank him for what he’s doing for the country. I want to call Bill O’Reilly and thank him for what he’s doing for Bill O’Reilly. I know he is very grateful for what he’s doing in that arena.
I turned on the car radio the other day and before I knew it, Bill’s head swelled up out of the radio so big I had to escape the car on the side of the road just to breath. Then, it blew up. I remember once Bill said that if George W. Bush wanted to save his legacy, all he needed to do was come on his program and answer some questions. Let’s see: Iraq, illegal immigration, record deficits, F.E.M.A./Katrina fiasco, etc., etc., etc.,…right Bill. All he needs to do is come on YOUR program. It’s all that simple.
Bill O’Reilly has a master’s degree from Harvard University. That goes a long way in explaining the problem with higher education in this country today.
