Counter-Protest Equipment

(A Precision Guided Humor Assignment)
Sooner or later, a bunch of smelly hippies will come to your town and try protesting the War, and – also sooner or later – you’ll get sick of their mindless sloganeering and decide to take to the streets yourself to protest their protest.
No such thing as too much free speech, ya know.
But you shouldn’t go empty-handed. Bring a ClueBat.

This item is useful for “beating sense” into someone whose knowledge of “what’s what” ain’t quite up to where it ought to be. A versatile device, it comes in several sizes, so be sure to choose the right tool for the right job.


Small

For RINO’s like John McCain or Colin Powell, and also as a preventative measure for small children who just don’t know any better because they attended a public school.
Large

For politicians who just don’t know when to stop talking, like John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, or anyone in the UN Building (except the Stachemeister, of course).
Extra Pointy

For those with exceptionally thick skulls – Alec Baldwin, Tim Robbins, most hippies.
STFU ALREADY!

For extreme cases – Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, Jane Fonda.
And don’t forget to read the instruction manual before use:

“Fat end first, dumbass!”
Yes, with these handy tips, you’ll soon be doing your part as an American citizen to create a more informed electorate.
Or at the very least, you’ll have a good time.

O’Reilly Rumors

Along with Frank’s post on the Bill O’Reilly Smear Scampaign. And let us call it B.O.S.Sc.
I’ve heard the Earth (the planet where the O’Reilly Factor studio is located) continues to spin completely unabated during O’Reilly’s so-called ‘No Spin Zone.’ O’Reilly isn’t tellng us the truth. Liar! I do believe I’ve noticed a distinct swivel in that chair of his too. Double Liar!!
I’ve also heard Bill O’Reilly is blatantly and openly homosapien. That’s right, you heard me, HO-MO-SAY-PEE-IN. Probably uses tools too. And fire. Disgusting.

Organizing a Smear Campaign in the New Media

As SarahK pointed out, Bill O’Reilly is scared of bloggers. This goes back quite a bit, as in June ’03 Instapundit observed an O’Reilly “hissy fit” against blogs and said, “I’ll bet nobody has accused O’Reilly of putting puppies in blenders.”
And that’s the problem. See, I like Bill O’Reilly, and I think it’s time for someone to accuse him of “putting puppies in blenders” so that bloggers really are out to get him and he doesn’t seem so paranoid.
That means its time for an organized smear campaign!
All we need is some great lie about O’Reilly (I dunno, maybe that he was originally a woman or that he kills stray cats with a hammer or that he’s considered a genius in France). Then we come up with a news clip about said lie. Then tons of bloggers all quote the news clip (linking to another blogger who wrote about it as the source) and comment on how horrible Bill O’Reilly is. If it’s set up right, each blogger will say they saw it off of a different blogger, and, if someone keeps clicking on the links trying to find the source, he’ll go in a complete circle and end back where he started.
Then, we just have to hope more bloggers pick up on it who aren’t in on the joke and have people without blogs e-mail O’Reilly about how horrible he is for doing whatever it is we lie about him doing.
Yeah, I don’t have the time to organize something like this, but wouldn’t it be cool? I’m sure we’d win “Most Organized Smear Campaign” at the Smeary Awards if we pulled it off.

I’m gonna get ya, Sukkah

Well, Sukkot begins at Sundown on October 17, 2005. I’m supposed to build this Sukkah thing, which is a booth with two-and-a-half walls. Then, I’m supposed to dwell in it.
Since I’m no longer allowed to build a Sukkah out of couch cushions after the Spilled Grape Juice Incident, I’m pitching a tent on the patio and throwing leaves on top. Or maybe I’ll just hide under the patio table with chairs as walls, possibly a trash bag or two draped over the side.
We don’t have the patio table umbrella yet. The old one got ruined by the dismantling process during Rita, so I ordered a new one. I think the patio umbrella folks are in cahoots with the weather people. Kickbacks and such. Corrupt jerks.
Anyway, I know it’s not supposed to be waterproof and there’s supposed to be corn and squash and other vegetables hanging from it, but I figure grilling some peppers next to the tent will be a near enough pitch.
There’s also supposed to be four dried herbs and plants as part of the ritual. Well, I’ve got plenty of dead pepper plants, so those will have to do. I spend all that time and effort i nthe spring to come up with lots of dead plants by October. At least I’m consistent.
Don’t think of these changes to the ritual as perverting and wimping out from tradition. I’m assimilated, darn it.
I wonder if it’s okay to have WiFi in a sukkah.

Where’s My Podcast IMAudiO?

We hope to have it finished before tomorrow. We’ve had a lot of challenges with this IMAudiO, including producer change (to me, which is gonna not be nearly as good as Scott producing it), hurricanes, birthing of babies, cast member dropping out, and other things. I’m sure that somehow it’s all Frank’s fault. 🙂
Look for it tomorrow. If it’s not here, look for it Friday. Don’t look for it Saturday, unless you lose it from earlier in the week.

Bill O’Reilly Loathes Bloggers

he really does. he’s hated us ever since the elections when he first heard of a blog. ever since one or two blogs said ugly things about him, he’s thought the majority of us to be vicious slandering monsters.
last night after O’Reilly’s discussion of the world’s slimiest blogs, i called up my good friend Bill and asked him a few questions.
