PISS ON EVER'THIN - T'DAY'S SATURDAY, January 27, 2007!
AUSTIN, Texas - Populist-Progressive Texas columnist Molly Ivins (62) has been hospitalized in her ongoing battle with breast cancer (3rd occurrence). Ivins may be able to go home Monday, her assistant said. "We're not sure what's going to happen, but she's very sick."
Eleanor McGovern (85) wife of former Sen. George McGovern (D-SD), the 1972 Democrat Presidential nominee. Eleanor McGovern campaigned for her husband across the country and appeared frequently on TV and radio programs discussing national and international issues. She had suffered heart problems for five years and underwent bypass surgery in 2006. She died in Mitchell, South Dakota on January 25, 2007.
Liz Renay (80) - a stripper and cult movie actress whose real life included roles as a gangster's moll, convict, author, artist and Hollywood Boulevard streaker, died Monday from cardiopulmonary arrest and gastric bleeding, the Clark County, Nev., coroner's office said. Renay first gained attention as a fashion model and Marilyn Monroe look-alike in the 1950s. She developed a cult following for her role as Muffy St. Jacques in director John Waters' 1977 movie "Desperate Living." She appeared in at least two dozen other movies ranging from "Date With Death" in 1959 and "The Thrill Killers" in 1964, to adult films like "Interlude of Lust" in 1981 and the feature flick "Mark of the Astro-Zombies" in 2002. As a stripper, she toured and performed with her daughter, Brenda, who died in 1982, on her 39th birthday.
She painted canvasses during a 27-month stint in federal prison in the early 1960s for perjuring herself during the federal tax evasion trial of her then-boyfriend, Hollywood mobster Mickey Cohen. Renay streaked down Hollywood Boulevard in 1974 but was acquitted at trial of indecent exposure and lewdness. Born Pearl Elizabeth Dobbins on April 14, 1926, in Chandler, Ariz., she was married seven times, divorced five times and widowed twice.
WATERGATE MASTERMIND CROAKS
Miami, FL (LaughFish.com) - E. Howard Hunt, the former CIA spy who led the Watergate break-in has died at the age of 88. His brother Mike said, “E. Howard had a tough childhood. He resented our parents for naming him E. Howard Hunt. I would tell him, at least you weren’t named Mike Hunt.”

Watergate criminal and lifelong sleazebag E. Howard Hunt is finally dead, the AP reports. He was 88.
Hunt masterminded the nightmare idiocy of the Bay of Pigs invasion and the brutal 1954 coup in Guatemala that replaced democratically-elected Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán with murderous thug Carlos Castillo Armas. Hunt wasn’t one of the Watergate burglars; it was a point of pride in the son of a bitch’s life that he was actually the “Watergate conspirator.”
A rich life, indeed. Of course, his other infamous conspiracy was the murder of American president John F. Kennedy. Hunt was supposedly one of the “three tramps” caught by the cops on the Grassy Knoll. His wife Dorothy was killed in a suspicious 1972 jetliner crash in Chicago. Mrs. Hunt was carrying nearly $11,000 in Watergate hush money. Illinois Congressman George W. Collins and CBS News correspondent Michele Clark were also killed in the bizarre crash.

Welcome to the STAND-UP at our home here in Metro Fairborn, Ohio. Look around, Folks! This is what a lifetime of clueless fiscal malfeasance will get you.
Allow me to introduce my selves. Somebody’s going to insult your intelligence today. It might as well be me.
Proceeds from today’s STAND-UP are going to the “Monty Python Organization for People Afflicted With Silly Walks“!
First - as you should know - I don’t care about sports, except as an indicator of popular culture - or, as in the case of Beach Volleyball - when participants are women in skimpy outfits. But how about them COLTS?! I watched at least half of it… (I DVR’d it and played it back on fast-forward.) Final Score: Indianapolis Colts 38, New England Patriots 34. Shouldn’t we be seriously questioning their PATRIOTism? Hehe…
What a game! Shame it wasn't the Super Bowl. Speaking of which, would anyone be surprised if the spread for the Super Bowl hits double digits? I'm guessing it'll be the Colts giving 7 1/2. All I know is I'm taking the team with the black head coach!
The Bears MAULED The N’awlins Saints (The Saints forgave them). Somehow this must be Bush’s fault…

Diane has been undergoing all sorts of procedures due to her inability to get pregnant. Chuck - between you and me, I think we ought to be able to get this lady pregnant.
My friends who smoke keep retorting, "Nobody banned alcohol. Why do they pick on smokers?"
Well, we all know that alcohol doesn't impair the health of other folks in the room, right?
But wait, here's the even BETTER answer, nicotine-slaves: More *certified* ALCOHOLICS die of LUNG CANCER annually than all alcohol-related maladies. (No - that is NOT funny...)
Oh, shit. Are you really gonna light that thing? You have a right to smoke and I have a right to bear arms. Take it outside!
I don’t expect anything in the way of an afterlife - but if there WERE an afterlife, which DVDs would you take with you?
If it's never crossed your mind that you drink too much, then you probably should drink a little bit more. WORD!
Today’s brunch features scrambled eggs and calves’ brains. And Ol’ Red Ruffensore, the football coach has brought us some blood sausage. Red’s own recipe includes pigs blood (natch) barley, and spices. When it’s cooked it’s a nearly-black sausage. It’s a favorite, but for some reason it's very hard to find. Red Knows. Red knows?
In addition, we’re happy to have some dandy vegetarian fare, a delightful pudding made with bran, & turnip leaves chopped together with herbs.
We bought a new refrigerator. Now when Da Pagan Baby stands with a glass stuck against the door ice cubes or water come out. It’s a side-by-side and weighs 350 lbs. 475 when we got all our magnets arranged on the doors. Now it’s the Metropolitan Refrigerator of Art!
So, I put the old fridge in the front yard and hung a sign on it saying: "Free to good home. You want it, you take it."
For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. I decided that people didn’t trust this deal. It looked to good to be true. So I changed the sign to read: "Fridge for sale $50." The next day someone stole it.
My wife says I should quit wasting so much time blogging and surfing the web and go out and get a job - but the voices in my head say I should stay home and clean my guns.

Our furnace went out some time during the coldest night so far. I called our plumbing and heating contractor. I spoke with his wife, who said he had a lot of calls. I told her my wife was standing next to me in the kitchen shivering in 3 layers of clothing firin’ up the coffee maker. I said we really need someone to stop by as soon as possible to fix the furnace.”
"Now don't you worry, honey," she told me. "You tell ‘er to just jump back in bed and cover up. I'll send my husband over right away."
If you can read this, you're not the president.
I grew up in the midwest in Dayton in a neighborhood of bungalows. So few people lived in apartments, so the ones who did seemed peculiar to me. I guess that’s why the TV show "I Love Lucy" seemed to cause me so much discomfort. Where was their backyard? Why was there a hallway outside their front door? The show was in black and white - which made them seem, you know, poor.
Last week, while looking at a house across the street from us in our over-55 community a couple asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, the husband explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. The realtor, who may have been a blond at one time, asked, "Oh, does the sun rise in the north?"
When the prospect explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff."

I used to work in customer service for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from a guy who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."
He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?"
“What’s your time zone.
"Uh, Pacific"
“You’re in luck, we’re available 24/7, Pacific Time.”
Whenever people talk about "alternative medicine," I get really pissed off, because all these guys - chiropractors, acupuncturists, therapeutic touch specialists (who don’t touch you) Deepak Chopra, and on and on, are nothing but con artists peddling garbage to sick people who really need professional help. But ya gotta admire their ability to separate the idiots from their money.
Priests who molest altar boys have the best communion wine - or so I‘ve been told.

Last night Da Pagan Baby was in the mood for a “Bloomin’ Onion”, a breaded, deep-fried onion concoction at Outback big enough to feed the Gilligan’s Island crew for 3 years. I told the waitress at Outback that I wanted the ¾-pound filet. She returned after 5 minutes of so and inquired, “Would you be willing to take the 12-ounce filet? We no longer carry the ¾-pounder.”
“24” is back with new episodes. Regular fans are hooked on lead actor Kiefer Sutherland’s character Jack Bauer. In particular, they love what they call “Bauer-speak”. Here’s some Bauer-speak we’d like to hear this season:
"You're gonna tell me what I wanna know. Or don't - fine, be a bitch about it!"
"Dammit, there's no time. The View is on in 5 minutes!"
"I need you to trust me -- indirect lighting will work wonders for this space."
"The only reason you're conscious right now is because I simply adore those shoes."
"Chloe, I need you to cross-reference the security protocols and hack into the... omigod, what did you do to your hair? You look gorgeous!"

Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez taunted Condi Rice with sexually suggestive language Monday night in his televised state of the nation speech. The aircraft carrier group is on the way. It's a hanging offense to whistle at the sheriff's gal.

Alexandra Pelosi’s Friends of God is a documentary about evangelical Christianity which hits theaters this week. Evangelicals are stranded politically. Religious conservatives have no candidate to unite them in the next presidential election, if you don't count Hillary Clinton.

The Gallup Poll released Monday divided Hillary Clinton's support into three groups. Her core supporters are liberals who want progressive social policies, centrists who want an internationalist foreign policy, and comedians with mortgages.

Dick Cheney grinned widely during the State of the Union address when President Bush insisted on increased domestic oil drilling. The president and the vice president then took a drink of water at exactly the same time. They never like anyone to know which one's the ventriloquist.

California's Assembly prepared Monday to move the state's primary up to February. An early California primary has unique advantages. It gives each candidate the chance to spend all their money to finish third behind Gary Coleman and a porn star.

President Bush discussed energy efficiency in his State of the Union address. His record is good. Before he invaded Iraq they were using electricity twenty-four hours a day, and under his leadership they reduced it to six hours a day.

And you’ll find a picture of CNBC's Maria Bartiromo - who reportedly has the support of her network in response to questions, and raised eyebrows, about her professional relationship with a former Citigroup boss. The star financial anchor has reported extensively on Citigroup, and on Todd Thomson, formerly chief of Citigroup's wealth management unit. But last week, when Thomson was ousted, it was in part over issues of judgment, including his dealings with Bartiromo. Among other complaints, Thomson was faulted by Citigroup Chairman Charles Prince for the decision to spend $5 million to sponsor Sundance Channel programming that Bartiromo was expected to co-host. According to the Journal, Bartiromo no longer will host the project.
Since 2004, Bartiromo has aired 11 major pieces on Citigroup, including four interviews with Thomson, according to the Journal's review of CNBC transcripts.

Three Little Pigs went out to dinner one night. The waiter came, and took their drink order. "I would like a Sprite," said the first little piggy.
"I would like a Coke," said the second little piggy.
"I want beer...lots and lots of beer," said the third little piggy.
The drinks were brought out, and the waiter took their orders for dinner.
"I want a nice big steak," said the first piggy.
"I would like the salad plate," said the second piggy.
"I want beer, lots and lots of beer," said the third little piggy.
The meals were brought out, and a while later, the waiter approached the table,
and asked if the piggies would like any dessert.
"I want a banana split," said the first piggy.
"I want a root beer float," said the second piggy.
"I want beer, lots and lots of beer," exclaimed the third little piggy.
"Pardon me for asking," said the waiter to the third little piggy; but why have you only ordered beer all evening?"
(do da scroll...)
You're gonna LOVE this....
The third piggy says...

At the end of the tax year, the IRS sent an auditor to audit the books of a synagogue. While he was checking the books he turned to the Rabbi and said: "I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you do with the candle drippings?”
"Good question," noted the Rabbi. "We save them up and send them to the candle makers, and every now and then they send us a free box of candles."
"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way: "What about all these biscuit purchases? What do you do with the crumbs?”
"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, realizing that the auditor was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We collect them and send them back to the manufacturers, and every now and then they send a free box of holy biscuits."
"I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all Rabbi. "Well, Rabbi," he went on, "What do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?”
"Here, too, we do not waste", answered the Rabbi. "We save up all the foreskins and send them to the IRS, and about once a year they send us a complete prick."

A Scotsman was invited for a visit to the home of his Canadian friend.
Soon after the Scotsman arrived, he glanced out the window to see a huge beast just outside. He pointed, and asked his Canadian friend, "Och, lad, what's that?"
The Canadian replied, "Oh, that's a moose."
The Scotsman stared in disbelief, and replied, "That's a fuckin’ MOOSE?! Well, how big are yer fuckin’ CATS around here?”

A man walks out of a bar, stumbling back and forth with a key in his hand. A cop on the beat sees him and approaches.
"Can I help you, sir?"
"Yessh! SShomebody sshtole my car!" the man replies.
The cop asks, "Where was your car the last time you saw it?"
"It wasssh at the end of thissssh key!" the man replies, logically, if a bit too literally.
About this time the cop looks down to see that the man's cock is being exhibited for the entire world to see. He asks the man, "Sir, are you aware that you are exposing yourself?"
The man looks down woefully and - without missing a beat - moans "Ohhh NOOO...They got my girlfriend too!"
