JOKE OF THE YEAR The biggest embarrassment of the Bush administration, Mike, Brownie (short for brown nose no doubt), Brown, former horse's-ass/head of FEMA, is apparently finally off the Federal payroll. For those of you who were unaware of it, Brownie, although he resigned from Federal service, was retained as an "advisor" to FEMA and continued to draw his salary until a short while ago. The self-proclaimed, "fashion king," apparently feels that since the government saw fit to seek his counsel regarding emergency management, despite his pathetic performance during hurricane Katrina, he might as well offer his services to the general public as a private entrepreneur. The now, seemingly ubiquitous, Brownie, who claims that his parents, who apparently maintain low expectations for their spawn, are very proud of him, is opening his own "emergency preparedness" firm, in idiot friendly Colorado. Believe me folks; I couldn't invent stuff like this just to garner laughs. Apparently the business plan is simple, he'll simply advise his clients of all the things he should have known and done and then refer them to someone who actually has knowledge of these things. I guess Brownie's true talent lies in being able to make something out of absolutely nothing. Here's the story in "Yahoo!news."

RUSH LIMBAUGH, WAR PROFITEER Right-Wing Blowhard/OxyContin Addict/War Profiteer, Rush Limbaugh, is teaching our Service Members what Republican charity, i.e. Capitalism, is all about. On Monday, the compassionate war hawk began a program designed to line his pockets, under the guise of supporting the troops. I guess he feels that if they are going to spill their blood, it may as well not go to waste, so he'll capitalize on their sacrifice. Limbaugh's shameless, "Adopt-a-Soldier" program, is quite simple, but, I have to give the doctor shopper his due, brilliant. Listeners can buy a subscription to his website, at the discounted price of $49.95, and donate it to a Service Member, or to their parents, or frankly, to anyone they wish to torture with a gift of his gabby garbage. Why the hell anyone would pay to read his tripe is beyond reason for those who have not been lobotomized. Rumor has it that Limbaugh needs the cash so he can buy his own painkiller factory and hire himself as a tester so the D.E.A won't bother his copious ass anymore. He posted what were supposed to be excerpts of emails from Service Members praising his efforts to fight off the evils of National Public Radio (NPR) and bring them the news they want to hear. I noted that the emails made frequent reference to God, e.g. "Thank God for you, Rush," so his business managers were obviously covering all the bases on this ploy. Limbaugh said that he was demonstrating his generosity by donating his time and offering a discount. Whoa, what time? He was going to produce his crap for his regular regiment of starry-eyed groupies anyway. I don't see any donation here. He also said that he would use his, quote: "Super-secret credit card," to actually buy and donate few subscriptions himself. Now, I'm no financial genius, but if he buys these subscriptions from himself isn't he just transferring his money from one account to another? Jeez, if only I could bullshit like him, I might make some real money for my writing. Visit "The Independent Writer" and have a good laugh on Jim Ippolito Wednesday, November 02, 2005
RELIGIOUS FANATIC FALWELL LOVES ALITO Well that's reason enough to hope Samuel Alito doesn't become a Supreme Court Justice. Religious looney/quasi-politician Jerry Falwell appeared today on, where else, Fox/GOP TV, to praise fellow Jesus freak, President Bush. The Wrong Reverend Falwell was so visibly thrilled by the thought of another backwards-oriented religious retard being appointed to The Supreme Court that I fear he involuntarily loosed his bowels while on the air. He made a remark that anyone who would oppose such a sterling example of fundamentalist, retrogressive thought as Alito, would also oppose "the Apostle Paul." I should hope so since the Apostle Paul was quite the ass backward, mean spirited, son-of-a-bitch. Alito is staunchly Conservative in a Roman Catholic way. He opposes a woman's right to choose and is on record as saying that a woman should "consult" with her husband if she is considering an abortion. I wonder if this guy is aware that 36% of the women who get pregnant in America are unmarried? Who should they consult, the guy who knocked them up, if indeed they even know? It's not so much his idea that a wife should discuss a potential abortion with her husband that bothers me; it's the premise that a woman has to answer to a man. Falwell shows up on TV to render his opinions on political matters all the time and makes no secret of his endorsement of candidates that fit in with his religious beliefs. Isn't it time for the government to step in and tell him to either put a cork in his mouth regarding politics, or risk having his tax free status yanked?
