Friday funny boning

Found both of these over at anne_jumps. We start with the ranty...

a) The BEAST 50 Most Loathsome People in America, 2005

I really, really, really wish I had written something like this:

31. Rita Cosby

Charges: Unholy pastiche of fearmongering and celebrity ringworm with the brain of a moth, the integrity of a tapeworm, and the appearance and larynx of a sugar-addicted, glass-eating drag queen.

Exhibit A: Her banter with Joe Scarborough kills children.

Sentence: Kicked in the nuts.
There is so much pure, concentrated rant to fill up on, one more wafer thin mint of snark would cause me to explode.


Then we move to the surreal...

b) The Perry Bible Fellowship Comics

Don't let the name or the seemingly innocuous main image fool you. There is some hilarious, twisted tomfoolery afoot here, such as:



Enjoy!


Update: The Poor Man pointed me to an absolutely priceless parody:

Vote to put me on the path to blogging immortality

Update: Sorry, my mistake, there's no Wampum just yet. I thought that you could e-mail your vote for the Kofaux awards, but they are just rolling out the blogs for consideration for "Blog Most Deserving of Wider Recognition," including yours truly.

Sorry if anyone tried to vote for me and had their chads dangling in the breeze.

White House Puts Friendly Face on Domestic Surveillance

Fights laws, checks and balances, and ethics with marketing

WASHINGTON - Facing growing controversy from numerous quarters about his domestic surveillance program, President Bush and his administration have launched a series of initiatives designed to make the surveillance seem less unconstitutional and more criminally cute.

Working in conjunction with toy manufacturer Fisher Price, the White House unveiled Fisher Price’s My First Wiretap, targeted at ages 4-6. The package comes with a plastic phone, earpiece bug and silly putty adhesive, twenty feet of string, and a can for listening to conversations. Expansion kits for opening mail and e-mail are in development and slated for Christmas 2006.

Taking a cue from McGruff the Crime Dog, the administration has also ordered 13 episodes of the cartoon, Buggy the Curiosity Fly. A comical insect with special night vision eyesight, Buggy spends each episode flying from wall to wall and using the information he gleans to fight terrorism. The premiere episode shows Buggy uncovering a conversation between two terrorists during an ACLU meeting, and each episode ends with Buggy uttering the catchphrase, “Help Buggy get all the buzz on terror!”

For adolescents, the White House felt something more edgy would be necessary, so the President and his advisors held a secret series of meetings with clothing company Abercrombie & Fitch. The controversial clothier came up with a series of apparel almost daring the government to spy on them. “I’ve got nothing to hide,” “Hope you liked my e-mail, G-Man,” and “Hey Uncle Sam, let’s make the phone sex a threeway,” are just some of the slogans that have been created.

“Combining detached irony with a kind of slacker conformity is really how one can control the millennial generation,” said Abercrombie head designer, Rufus Faust. “It’s like we’re saying everyone expects you to rebel against this unconstitutional intrusion into your private life, which is precisely why you shouldn’t rebel against it.” The first shipment of clothing has already sold out, with celebrities such as Paris Hilton sporting the t-shirts.

Cartoons and reverse rebellion were deemed inappropriate for adults, however, and the administration already had one television avenue for promoting aggressive intelligence gathering without respect for laws or logic, Fox’s 24. Instead, the President decided to appeal to the pocketbooks of his constituents.

The new “Friends and Family Surveillance Plan" allows U.S. citizens to enjoy free long distance when they talk to family members and acquaintances within their group, dubbed a “cell.” In exchange, the plan members give the National Security Agency unlimited access to those conversations.

Critics of the administration have blasted these efforts. “Calling this pandering would be an insult to panderers,” said Myron I. Relevant, of the left-wing think tank People Against Private Surveillance, Monitoring, Eavesdropping, Auditing, and Reconnaissance. “Even Miramax during the Oscar voting wouldn’t stoop this low.”

But many citizens seem to see nothing wrong with the efforts. “At first, I was kind of uncomfortable with Friends and Family, because I just didn't think it was right for the government to listen in on my conversations,” said Henry S. Pigeon, an accountant in Scranton, Pennsylvania. “But then I got my long-distance bill, and I saved enough to buy my youngest one of those My First Wiretap kits. And besides, like my teenager always says, ‘I’ve got nothing to hide.’”

Top Ten Tuesdays: Why is God angry with us?

Recently, Mayor Ray Nagin and Reverend Pat Robertson have suggested that God has been angry with various individuals and locations, including America. Why is God so mad?

10) Took communion 57 minutes after eating, instead of waiting the full 60.
9) Displeased with Republican attempt to offer the sick, poor, and elderly as a sacrifice.
8) Had his phone tapped by the White House.
7) Cross about having “love your neighbor as you love yourself” changed to “launch a pre-emptive strike on your neighbor before you suspect he might launch one at you.”
6) Didn’t tithe 10% of the money we got from Abramoff.
5) Insulted about having his Son transformed into a Savior that licks himself.
4) Couldn’t believe Brad left Jen for Angelina.
3) Didn’t receive his pre-ordered XBox 360 because of shortages.
2) Bush keeps bragging about how they're tight and they talk all the time when God's like whatever, talk to the burning bush, Shrub.
1) Snoozbar 7, Sunday Services 0.

Where's the funny?

Sorry for the lack of posting this past week. The Man has us trapped in a small, gray cell, held in place by kryptonite, aka work. Check back on Tuesday for a new Top 10, after which the standard stream of Bush jokes and profanity should resume.

Ah-nuld vs. Der Governor

After spending a little more than two years giving the Golden State a golden shower, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s political career looks like the tail end of his Hollywood one—an expensive flop that can’t go straight to video fast enough. But how does Arnold the Actor stack up against Arnold the Governor? We go to the tape to decide.

Spanish-Based Catchphrase
ACTOR
Hasta la vista, baby!

GOVERNOR
El deficit es muy grande! Que lastima!

WINNER: ACTOR. It’s the catchphrase that launched 1000 hacks.


Greasiest Body Part
ACTOR
Lats

GOVERNOR
Palms

WINNER: GOVERNOR. At least with greasy palms, there’s the potential to get something in return.


Ab Status
ACTOR
Six pack

GOVERNOR
Baker’s dozen

WINNER: PUSH. Six pack looks better, but doesn’t have the unintentional comedy of Will Farrell’s gut slapped on Arnold’s body.


Methods of Execution
ACTOR
Guns, swords, Tom Arnold jokes

GOVERNOR
Leaving the phone off the hook when the courthouse calls

WINNER: ACTOR. At the very least, Governor Schwarzenegger could be there to throw the switch and make a pithy comment. “Remember when I promised to grant you clemency, Tookie? I lied.”


Aliens
ACTOR
Hunted by them

GOVERNOR
Haunted by them

WINNER: ACTOR. Back then, he only had to worry about one alien disappearing into the landscape.


Abortion Stance
ACTOR
Men should carry their fetuses to term

GOVERNOR
Still in development

WINNER: GOVERNOR. Staying out of the crosshairs of the Mother of All Issues is impressive. Junior should have been left on the doorstep.


Union Stance
ACTOR
Let me in!

GOVERNOR
Fuck you, assholes

WINNER: ACTOR. The union-regulated coffee breaks gave him plenty of time to juice up those muscles.


Most Ostentatious Display of Wealth
ACTOR
Jet he received as payment for Terminator 2

GOVERNOR
Maria Shriver

WINNER: GOVERNOR. You can’t put a price on nailing a Kennedy (unless you’re blackmailing one).


Worst Performance
ACTOR
Collateral Damage

GOVERNOR
California coffers

WINNER: GOVERNOR. Empty coffers don’t cause collateral damage to the frontal lobe.


Biggest Mistake
ACTOR
Planet Hollywood

GOVERNOR
Taking the job

WINNER: GOVERNOR. No one wins eating a $14 burger while sitting next to Ernest Borgnine's sweat-stained t-shirt.


Female Nemesis
ACTOR
Brigitte Nielson

GOVERNOR
Dianne Feinstein

WINNER: ACTOR. Feinstein may be a little red, but she’s no Sonja.


Status of Jim Belushi Relationship
ACTOR
Co-star

GOVERNOR
Subject

WINNER: PUSH. The Governor would win if he extradicted the According to Jim star to Telemundo.


Identity Crisis
ACTOR
Am I Quaid, or am I Hauser?”

GOVERNOR
Am I a maverick Republican, or am I a GOP tool?

WINNER: ACTOR. As either Quaid or Hauser, he got to sleep with Sharon Stone.


Future Prognosis
ACTOR
The T800 needs wrinkle cream

GOVERNOR
Conan the Destroyed

WINNER: ACTOR. Although by the time Terminator 4 comes out, he may also need a little Viagra to complete the Rise of the Machines.


FINAL WINNER: ACTOR
There's no contest here, we'd rather watch the Ah-nuld on the silver screen than on C-SPAN. Which proves a key point: if you’ve already worked with chimps, congratulations, you’re ready to be governor of California—or at the very least, mayor of Carmel. If you’ve worked with Jesse Ventura, you’re better off making The Running Man 2 than running for office.

A CJSD Original Rip-Off Production.

Top Ten Tuesdays: What else are we exaggerating for dramatic effect?

10) Number of #3 guys in Al Queda.
9) Power to stop the nomination of Judge Dreadful.
8) Invincibility of the Chicago Bears defense.
7) Right of the Executive Branch to do whatever it wants as long as the word “war” is mentioned someplace.
6) Size of our WMD program.
5) Size of WMD in our pants.
4) Level of intelligence in intelligent design.
3) How easy it is for a crack Counter Terrorist Unit to get infiltrated season after season.
2) Desire to bite the special interest hand that feeds us.
1) The truth in our “true life” stories.*

*Hat tip to the always truthful SER at BAF.

Nothing says I'm a virgin...

like this T-shirt:


Adorable Girlfriend over at Republic of Dogs already ranted about this (after spotting one being worn in the wild). What I find funny is that wearing a T-shirt like this almost guarantees you won't get a chance to "take a look" with any woman. The back may as well say, "P.S., Want to come back to my Mom's basement and watch me beat off into a sock?"

It also reminded me of the T-shirt I was wearing when I met my wife: a black Cure concert shirt from the Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me tour. The front had a giant fluorescent image of Robert Smith, sporting full medusa hair.

Some of you may say, But Brando, that kind of shirt is not heterosexual enough for me. Well, let me finish with the moral of the story: soon after being spotted in that shirt, I no longer needed the sock.

We'll make sweet love...right after I save my game

This song by the comedy trio Tripod, "Make You Happy Tonight," hits a little close to home for me. If you play video games or, God help you, are involved in a relationship with a gamer, I think you'll get a good throaty chuckle.

Thanks to Webdanzer at the DSP Forums and Virtual Cantina for the link.

Jurist Prudish—even though you’ve got a bug up your bench and your judicial briefs in a wad, you seem more nance than Nazi. Congratulations on keeping your real opinions under wraps until after you’re confirmed.

27-30
Radioactivist Judge—adjourn to the nearest fallout shelter, because the nuclear option is about to hit. Your bench has too much (John) Birch and your rulings reveal too much Revelations. But cheer up! If you’re willing to to relocate, there's an opening in a legal system you'd be perfect for.

A Million Little Reese's Pieces


The shocking, new, totally true memoir from E.T., the Extra Terrestrial.

"Much more honest than any other best-selling memoir you’ll read this year!" Kirkus

"I believed every word of it!" Judith Miller, The New York Times

"I laughed and I cried, so it must be real." Oprah Winfrey

"Now we know the real story behind the Spielbergian cover story." Oliver Stone.

$24.95
Published by Double Day of Reckoning Press

This harrowing tale of addiction, friendship, redemption, and interstellar travel begins with a groggy E.T. waking up in a military lab, not knowing where he is, where he is going, or even what he is doing on this strange planet. All he knows are three things: that he is an Alcoholic, a chocolate and peanut butter Addict, and an Alien. Through the extraordinary friendship of two children and his own inhuman ability to conquer his demons, E.T. manages to not only "phone home," but dial straight into our hearts.

Excerpt

I wake to the drone of oxygen being pumped into my bubble and feeling something warm dribbling down my chin. I lift a hand to my face. My finger won’t glow, my skin is gray, my ass feels like it had a scientific convention inside it, and my bulbous eyes are swollen shut. I open them and I look around and I’m in some kind of Hospital or Lab. I’m covered in a colorful mixture of malt liquor, peanut butter, chocolate, and formaldehyde. There’s a pair of kids standing next to me. Blonde girl. Cute. Lispy. Boy. Brown hair. Whiny. Earnest, but kind of a pussy.
Where fuck is E.T.?
You’re in a military hospital.
How E.T. get here?
A doctor and a bunch of men in scary costumes brought you here.
Ohhhh.
We have to get you out of here!
Nowwww?
Yes, before they come for you. We have to get you home!
Home. Now I remember. Phone home. Speak and Spell. Texas Instruments. Mom and Dad.
I try and stand. My legs give. It’s a short trip to the floor.
What’s the matter?
E.T. no walk.
Come on, just get to the flap.
Flaaap?
Over there.
Far. E.T. no can do.
Lispy girl reaches into her pink My Little Pony backpack. Pulls out a flask. I drink.
Mmmm, Beam.
The whiskey burn takes the express to my stomach. Gray skin turns brown. My stomach glows. More Beam, more glow. I’ve got a bellybutton lantern going. My finger lights up like an inmate’s last cigarette.
I make it to the tent flap. Whiny kid gets his bike, lifts me into the basket. He hoists and I hurl over the side, just a little bile.
Bye-bye, E.T., Lispy Girl says. She takes a swig of the flask.
Bye-bye. E.T. come back when you 18.
Whiny kid peddles like a champ, like he’s Lance Armstrong. I’d tell him that, but the kid won’t know who I’m talking about for another twenty years.
There’s jeeps and soldiers and guns behind us. The booze is kicking in now, and I get us up over the trees and leave the assholes behind. Kid looks like he’s going to shit himself.
Don’t worry, kiiiid, E.T. not fall.
We touch down in the woods. Pine needles cover the ground like nature’s opium den.
Are they coming for you?
E.T. hope so.
You don’t know?
No.
What if no one is here for you?
Shut fuck up and chilllll. They will come.
Lights. Bright. Sky. Down. Here. Ship. Opens. Mom. Dad.
Mom cries. What happened?
Long story, need 115 minutes to telllll.
She leans over and tries to give me a hug. I push her away.
Need get out of here, Mom. Men commming.
Dad pulls me. I turn to Whiny Kid. He’s not so bad, even if he’s blubbering like a girl. I give him a Glow Finger.
Be gooood.
Blast off. On the ship. I lie. Down. Dad talks.
You okay?
No, not okay.
Do you need anything?
Peeeeanut butter. And chocolate. In candy-coated shelllll.

Bush Warns Iraqis: "Don’t Make Me Pull This Reconstruction Over"


WASHINGTON - In the harshest tone yet used by the President, George W. Bush today sent a stern message to the Iraqi people.

"I’ve had just about enough," said the President at a hastily assembled press conference. "Now you either knock it off, or I swear to my God, I’ll pull this reconstruction over and come back there.

"And believe me, if I do, you’ll learn the real meaning of insurgency."

First Lady Laura Bush, standing beside the President, whispered something inaudible into his ear. "No, Laura, we’ve already given them numerous time outs, and all they did was use them to build Improvised Explosive Devices."

The President began the journey with Iraq toward reconstruction in 2003. After some initial quiet, the Iraqis grew fidgety, then restless, then openly rebellious. Consulting with some prominent behavioral experts, the President tolerated this at first, believing that the backtalk, looting, and gathering of weapons would cease if he just ignored it.

Instead, the misbehaving escalated. Once the Shiites and Sunnis began hitting each other, the President lashed out, spanking both with machine gun belts.

Shiites and Sunnis protested the punishment, claiming the other had started it. Sunnis accused Shiites of hogging all the democracy, while Shiites said Sunnis kept hitting them with shrapnel.

"I don’t care who started it, I’m going to finish it," President Bush growled. "I have to listen to this crap every day. I get calls at work, bad reports, security forces showing up at my door at all hours of the night. I’m sick of it, and it’s going to stop! One more peep, and I’m taking away your allowance."

Reached for comment, Shiites scoffed at the President’s threat under their breath. "He can’t take away our allowance, he needs us to take out the trash. Otherwise he’d have to get off his stupid duff and do it himself.

"But don’t tell him we said that," the Shiites added.

Sunnis were even more defiant. "The old man isn’t gonna do shit," they replied. "What’s he gonna do, put Saddam back in charge? Ooh, we’re so scared." The Sunnis then high-fived each other.

While many place blame for the problem with the sassy Sunnis and Shiites, others believe the real blame lies with the Administration and their handling of the situation. Dr. Joseph "Skip" Riggins at the Institute for American Expansion believes that the Bush Administration enabled the Iraqi factions to become out of control.

"It’s a clear case of mollycoddling," said Dr. Riggins. "The Administration mollycoddled them during the invasion. They mollycoddled them during the building of the security forces. They mollycoddled them during the formation of a provisional government. Do you know what that makes them?"

"Mollycoddlers?" answered his colleague, Dr. Larry Hockett.

"Mollycoddlers," repeated Dr. Riggins.

Perhaps in response to such critics, President Bush reaffirmed his commitment to whipping the Iraqis into shape. "I don’t care if it takes all night. I don’t care if it takes all year. They will behave. And so help me, if they don’t, I’ll make them both join the Iraqi security forces. That’ll fix the problem."
