Special Edition 2 - Sorry Seems To Be

18m · Published 27 Sep 19:37
Until then, the Republican Party is holding on to singularly vicious and VERY poisonous snake which has no problems killing the hand that feeds it. Boehner held on for five years, sadly there was no friendly mongoose to save him. He may just be the first to fall. I am left to wonder at what price this will place out. It cost them presidency in 2012, it will likely cost them again in 2016, if the Republicans don’t root out the extremist in their party, they will cease to exist as a viable entity. Of course, if they DO try to clean up the mess they made they run the very real risk of viable Third Party rising up and tearing away their base, leaving in exactly the same situation. If they move, they strike, if they don’t move they strike--they REALLY should get a Mongoose, sadly all they have is a weasel and he is actually part of the problem. Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 26- Seasons Dont Fear The Reaper

25m · Published 19 Sep 23:17
It’s not just bombs, dear listeners, here is a short list of things Americans of are afraid of: Terrorism: in the past 15 years just over 3,000 civilians died in terrorist incidents in the world, and 2,689 of THOSE were on 9/11. Just for a little perspective, 33,000 people a year, every year, die from gun related deaths. And yes, guns are kind of sort of on the list, Americans are afraid of being killed in a mass shooting, even though the odds of that happening are basically zero compared the odds of them shooting themselves in the dick with the gun they buy to protect themselves from the mass shooting.

Episode 25: "19th Nervous Shutdown"

27m · Published 12 Sep 22:37
This latest faux outrage, well the outrage is real enough, it is always real, that’s the problem, but the problem causing the outrage is faux is perhaps even more spurious the 999th attempt to repeal Obamacare. Conservative despise Planned Parenthood with a peculiar fury because they made it just about the only place to get a safe, legal abortion in huge swathes of the country. They also have the temerity to dispense low cost slut pill prescriptions to women who otherwise would be docile, obedient god fearing members of the society--right up until they time they dropped their fourth bastard. It’s funny how when Black women have children out of wedlock they are welfare queens ripping off hard working white folks who pay taxes, when it’s Lurleen whose five children by six different men: that’s just a sad story.

Episode 24: A Elmo Like Boobies

20m · Published 06 Sep 19:41
As a New Yorker, and having survived this City for a decade I am now legally allowed to call myself a New Yorker, or at least that is story I am sticking with, nearly naked women are the LEAST offensive thing IN Times Square. In descending order from most to least: Tourists with Selfie Sticks, Tourists with maps, Just Plain Tourists, Costumes Characters, CD Vendors, Tour Bus Leaflet Wavers, Comedy Show Guy, Smelly Ellie the Homeless Lady at 44th and 7th whom you can sniff at least three blocks away, and finally the nearly naked ladies. Times Square is a horrific shit show of clogged sidewalks, tacky merchandise, gawking tourists and commercial cancers blossoming like the nodules on my liver as I finish the glass of Jameson, the boobs are basically the ONLY HONEST thing in the whole damn area!

Episode 24 Your Own Personal Jesus

31m · Published 04 Sep 23:00
Hello and welcome to the podcast episode that asks a simple question: Kim Davis, what the HELL were you thinking? This week we talk about Rowan County Clerk currently in jail for contempt of court after defying a court order to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples. Davis refused on the grounds it violated her religious principles. Lying to God when she took an oath to uphold the Constitution apparently falls under the “I had my fingers crossed” exemption cited by St, Paul in Thessalonians. Here is just SOME of what you will hear: “Still, the REASON we have people swear oaths is some jobs require us to do things we might not otherwise want to do. I wasn’t keen on the whole charging into combat and getting blown-up part of being in the military, it didn’t fit with my own personal...idiom I think most people feel similarly. So, you take an oath. I didn’t think much of the drug laws when I was cop, they were stupid and pointless, but I took an oath to uphold the laws even the stupid and pointless ones. Davis is not in jail because she is a Christian, she is jail because she violated an oath she took before God! She, in short, lied to God, which is also a sin if I am not mistaken. It wouldn’t surprise to find out she was dueling too!” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Episode 23 Who Is Cheating Who

22m · Published 29 Aug 16:35
First of all, who uses a website to cheat? Honestly? I know I am going to come across like an Old, but whatever happened to heading down the lounge of the Holiday Inn and seeing what happens? Do we NEED a personality profile and an algorithm to find someone to fuck outside our relationship? All I need just the right mix of anger, frustration, horniess and alcohol and it’s done! I could be wrong, but I think that is what it takes for most people. Still, it’s the 21st Century, so natch there is a website to do for you that you are fully capable of doing for yourself. and this week hackers showed everyone exactly why you shouldn’t use it.
