GOP Orders Immediate Iraq Pull-Out Vote; Kerry Flip Flops Again
Topic: Politics

Jesus Christ, it's like Election 2004 all over again. After a little over a week of publicity whoring for their image, the Democrats got a shock today when House Republicans ordered a formal vote regarding the possibility of pulling out in Iraq. Whoops! Talk some shit and get the hammer.

It was Democrat Jack Murtha (who has been described as "hawkish" by the MSM, so you know he's crazy - ed.) who came out yesterday with a plan to remove all the troops from Iraq. Despite his criticism, many Democrats have been reluctant to back him on his well-drawn out insanity charts.

Except for John Kerry, who is still desperately trying to get people to remember who he is. As you may remember, Kerry said during the election that he supported the President and always would when it came to the invasion. But it appears not anymore. And look how he tries to tie himself to Murtha to get some extra PR.

"I won't stand for the swift-boating of Jack Murtha."

Uggggggghhhhhhhh! We're thinking of starting a petition to send to Kerry that simply says, "Dear Mr. Kerry. Shut the fuck up. We're tired of you, so shut the fuck up."

Our sources tell us that the vote will take place between 5:45 and 7:45EST, so we'll keep you informed about what it comes up with, even though we'll be properly sauced by then.

Civil Jury: "Baretta Did That Shit"
Topic: Entertainment

Robert "Baretta" Blake has been found liable for his wife's death, proving once again that civil attorneys kick ass and prosecutors need more schooling (we're kidding, all you attorneys! jesus don't sue us... - ed.).

The jury awarded Bonny Lee Bakley's family some $30 million, which is going to be a huge problem for Baretta, because, well, he's known as "Baretta," and that show stopped airing in like, 1978. He doesn't have that kind of money. Jesus Christ, he NEVER had that kind of money. Welcome to debtors prison Baretta. Your prison name will now be Asshat.

Ohio Woman Who Dumped Kittens to be Punished by Being Dumped!
Topic: National News

An Ohio woman who left 40 kittens in a park overnight because she is both insane and capable of taking care of them has been sentenced to spend the night in the same park with no light, food or shelter, as well as paying a $3,200 fine and spending 15 days in jail and 15 days under house arrest. This accounts for the maximum penalty one can receive for dumping animals in Ohio, as well as a big old "fuck you" to animal mistreators.

The judge, Judge Michael A. Cicconetti, is apparently known in the surrounding area for passing down weird sentences, usually related to each specific crime. He also repeatedly snapped at the woman and got tired of her shit during her long winded apologizing.

"People panic and commit crimes, they use drugs, they commit domestic violence. But this wasn't one incident. You did it again the next day."

The woman is also clearly insane, as she used an alias to try and adopt more kittens from the Humane Society. Plus, at the age of 25, she's already on her way to being the Crazy Cat Lady from The Simpsons, so she's got that going for her too.

Texas Town Adopts Satellite TV Provider's Name For 10 Years of Free Cable and 100 Years of Regret!
Topic: Texas News

The town of Clark, Texas, has decided that their dignity has a price. That price? A decade of free Dish Network satellite TV. All 55 homes will receive 10 years of uninterrupted service for allowing their small town to join the ranks of other tiny hamlets across the nation that have changed their names for corporate sponsorship, such as;

Truth or Consequences, New Mexico

Half.com, Oregon.

and possibly Secretsanta.com, Idaho


The 125 residents are receiving a television package worth approximately $4,500 per home. What did the mayor have to say of this "important" turning point in the town's history?

"We really look at this as kind of a rebirth for our community," Mayor Bill Merritt said. "We want everybody to come here."

But not all is well in corporate paradise. L.E. Clark, the founder of the town and former mayor, was not pleased with the name change.

"I don't especially like it. I worked my butt off a little over a year getting it incorporated."

So now we have personal greed versus corporate greed, and we all know that in one of these situations, the big loser is America.

Philadelphia Kindergartner Caught With Smack! No Word on Camaro or Mullet Status Yet...
Topic: National News

A five-year-old boy in Philadelphia was found holding eight bags of horse in his pocket on October 25. Three weeks later, the police arrested his mother, probably after not finding any track marks on the boy's arm.

The school district hasn't released word on why it took them three weeks to arrest the boy's mother for giving her son the smack, but the Department of Human Services has taken the boy away from her while she awaits arraignment and whatever other charges the cops can create.

Seriously though, Philly, shame on you. As if cheese steaks, the Eagles, mullets and Iroc-Z Camaro obsession wasn't enough, now you're getting five-year-olds hooked on H. Shame on you, City of Brotherly Love. You with your Liberty Bells and loose women...

P.S. - Notice how the dude shooting up has got kind of a Springsteen vibe going on. Strange, or fitting. We can't decide.

Karma Continues to Strike Down Castro; We Laugh
Topic: World News

Fidel Castro just can't get a break. After his hilarious fall on stage last year (pee dribbled out when we saw the video. seriously. pee - ed.) which led to the "beloved" dictator breaking a few ribs and his wrist, Castro tried to turn his world image around. He volunteered Cuban medical help during Hurricane Katrina, which America refused, of course. Then he, umm, saved a puppy from a snake... or something.

But the CIA released an announcement this afternoon claiming that the embattled Cuban cutie is afflicted with Parkinson's disease, the same illness that took our grandfather and is currently working its horrible magic on Muhammad Ali and Teen Wolf.

So now the question remains about how the country will handle his natural progression into a human vibrator. Will he lose it, or continue to rule with his normal aplomb. And by aplomb, we mean doing hilarious things that make even hard men like Cheney giggle.

Guatemala Anti-Drug Officials Tried to Sell Drugs to U.S.! Traffic Has Come to Life, Bring Us Benecio del Toro!
Topic: World News

The top anti-drug investigator in Guatemala and many members of his team are facing charges of conspiracy to ship cocaine to the United States, the DEA discovered after a four month investigation. Guatemala has been hit down on lately because over 75% of the coke that comes into America has to pass through the country, which appears to not only care very little, but seems to be sneaking to skim off of the top.

Irony struck hard, as the chief investigator for the small nation said he was planning on leaving the position after only six months at the post, supposedly because he was frustrated by the job. What he was probably frustrated over was his meager profit margin selling grams in the capital when he could be importing it to the U.S. and making millions.

Thanks Guatemala. You're on our shit list too.

Worst Case of Stockholm Syndrome Ever Found in San Bernadino Woman
Topic: National News

Imagine that you're shot in the groin. Then held hostage for a week in your family's garage. Now imagine you're Tina Marie Stebbins, who apparently doesn't care about this, because she's marrying the man who did exactly that to her.

“I love Christian today as deeply as I loved him before this awful thing happened to us. We are soul mates.

Stebbins's fiancee, Christian Leroy Lindblad, was sentenced to 20 years for shooting his then-girlfriend. Because the family was desperate to marry off their daughter and get her the hell out of the house, they tried to treat the wounds with homeopathic medicines, until she was almost dead and had to be airlifted to ICU. We mean seriously, we thought Texas has some screwed up people, but these families are just nuts!

Beer Good For You? That's What We've Been Saying For Years!!!
Topic: National News

Researchers from Oregon State University have come to the conclusion that the hops in heavier beers, such as porters, stouts (mmm, MacKesson - ed.) and ales have cancer fighting agents that have been overlooked in previous studies. The flavonids (seriously, we didn't make that word up) contained in the hops have enzymes inside of them that kill "free radicals" which could cause cancer and a love of Che Gueverra in adults.

However, in order to get enough flavonids to help your system out, you'd pretty much die of alcohol poisoning or by being crushed by your enormous beer gut, so calm down frat boys. Your time in the sun hasn't come yet. And by the way, kegs of Keystone Light don't have many flavonids to begin with.

India Has Shitty Healthcare, Ant Problem
Topic: World News

A woman being treated in a Kolkata, India, hospital lost one of her eyes after ants ate it, following her diabetes treatment. While screaming for help, nurses told the woman that pain would be normal after having surgery. Pain, yes. Pain with ants, no.

The woman's family removed her eye bandage Monday to find a hole where her eye used to be swarming with the little buggers. The hospital released this statement:

"It's not uncommon for ants to attack diabetic patients. We have set up a committee to investigate the unfortunate incident."

Ah yes, a committee. How about setting up a goddamn ant trap instead?

Kazakhstan Might Sue Ali G! That's Whack Yo, Booyakasha
Topic: Entertainment

The Asian nation of Kazakhstan has threatened to sue comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, a.k.a. Ali G, a.k.a. Borat, the immigrant from Kazakhstan who once said, "In Kazakhstan, national pastimes are punching cows and rape," for defamation of their country.

"We do not rule out that Mr. Cohen is serving someone's political order designed to present Kazakhstan and its people in a derogatory way," Kazakh Foreign Ministry spokesman Yerzhan Ashykbayev (<------- look at that funky name - ed.).

If that isn't reason enough to make even MORE fun of them, then we don't know what is. Retards. And by retards, we just mean they don't know anything.

Shagging Cheerleaders Just Crying, Not Shagging; Thus Ends the Best Story EVER
Topic: Embarrassment

The two Carolina Panthers cheerleaders that were arrested for allegedly having some loud sex in a nightclub's bathroom have released a statement ending perhaps one of the best news stories we've reported. Angela Keathley said that she was in the bathroom stall crying after running into an ex-boyfriend and that Renee Thomas was merely comforting her before comforting her fist into a complaining patron's face.

But this is not the end of the story for the two women, as one faces felony charges for using a fake ID, while Keathley is worried she may lose her job as a nurse. Seriously, a (possible) lesbian cheerleading nurse. Nevermind, this story is arousing again, so we'll keep you informed on all the hot shenanigans involving this case.

Woman Finds Freeze Dried Turtle In Coffee Package; Thank God We Drink Pepsi In The Mornings
Topic: National News

An Iowa woman will probably now only grind her own coffee beans after finding a dead turtle in a package of freeze dried Folgers. She has since turned over the Columbian-smelling carcass to Proctor & Gamble for testing (to see how well it filters? - ed.).

P&G spokesmen said that they don't doubt the woman's claim, but that this was an isolated incident and nothing to worry about. No word on what kind of turtle it was that met its maker in cheap ass coffee.

French Stage Anti-Violence Sit-In; Give Rioters Easy Target
Topic: World News

French citizens, tired and angered of the nonstop riots that have been occurring across the countryside for the past two weeks, have finally sat down... to end the violence. The notoriously pussy French decided that after the burning, deaths and destruction, just having a good sit will cure all.

"Today, we don't want an armistice — we want peace," national police chief Michel Gaudin said. "An armistice is a temporary halt. What we want is definitive peace for the suburbs."

And it's working so well, that more than 700 extra riot police have been called into Paris to help with security. President Jacques Chirac continues to ask for aide, but because we're dicks and the fucked us on the whole Afghanistan/Iraq help thing, we're just throwing up the middle finger like a six-shooter. Eat it, bitches, and prepare for bloody cheese.

Clinton on Impeachment; "Egregious Abuse" of Constitution, Interns
Topic: Embarrassment

While speaking at Hofstra University yesterday, Bill Clinton went all PR-denial crazy when Douglas Brinkley asked of his impeachment trial. What did the sex-crazed former President (who incidentally debated the meaning of the word "is" - ed.) say on the matter?

“You can agree with that statement, but only if you think impeachment was justified. Otherwise, it was an egregious abuse of the Constitution and law and history of our country.”

Ah, so NOW we have an insight. if you think the impeachment was justified, then it was cool with the Constitution. If not, then you're a douchebag of democracy. Wait, what?

18 Year Old Ousts 51 Year Old as Mayor of Michigan Town!
Topic: Politics

18-year-old Michael Sessions beat the incumbent mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan, after running an impressive write-in campaign that garnered him 732 votes to his opponent's 668. What shocks us about this whole scenario is not that an 18-year-old won, but that roughly only 1,400 people came out to vote for the mayor of their town.

Hillsdale has a population of only 9,000, yet our hometown in East Texas had less than that and more people turn out to vote for mayor. Obviously, no one cares about the position, even though Hillsdale pays their mayor a whopping $250 a month and does not even give him an office.

Sessions's opponent, Doug Ingles, 51, said that he was not ashamed to lose to a kid who wasn't even on the ballot.

"It's an honor to serve. I'm proud of that.
"

Who knew that even small-town mayors were as gracious in defeat as asshole politicians who pretend to say that their opponent was "an extraordinary candidate whom it was an honor to run against," even though you know that they really want to put a middle finger and say "fuck you, you suck."

ANWR Drilling Dropped From Budget! Way to Follow That Energy Plan, Congress!
Topic: National News

Having caused a stir during the presidential elections in 2004, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge drilling program has quietly been relegated to back page news, led instead by news of Paris Hilton and humiliated murderers in Iraq. But now, Congress has grown weary of this project and its lack of newsworthiness, so they killed it.

Or has it?

The House dropped the referendum during their budget meeting, but the Senate did not, and we all know that it takes the votes of about 20 Representatives to equal the combined voting (and drinking and eating - ed.) power of one of these bloated fat cats. So who will prevail?

The vote is prepared for today, setting the stage for a possible battle royale. Then we will see if Congress will stick to their approved energy plan or just shrug their shoulders and say, "Piss on it. Oil prices are back down anyways."

Judy Miller Quits NY Times! Oh Noes! Who Will We Make Fun of in the Media? Oh Yeah, Everyone Else
Topic: Media

Judy Miller, the reporter jailed for 85 days for not releasing her sources during the early days of Plamegate, has retired after 28 years at the paper. Perhaps the reasons regarding her leaving were that she was going to be fired, especially after some nasty emails began to circulate from her bosses on down.

Maybe it was because she got a massive book deal and six figure speaking engagements. Or just maybe she wanted some time away to find a man to grow old with.

Yeah, we're guessing the second one too.

Deano Rounds up Election Coverage For Us; Spins in Totally Odd Direction
Topic: Politics

Now that it's the day after the elections and everyone has already forgotten what the issues were since this is a political off-year, we turn to the resident spin artist/idiot of the Democratic Party, Chairman Howard "The Scream" Dean, to throw his zero cents worth of intelligence into a statement about how it was an ass-whomping for the Democratic party, and that now the power has shifted because they got some referendums killed and two guys elected Governor in Democratic states... even though the party got crushed in New York and for their gay marriage stance, but regardless, he's funny to read, so here goes.

"The resounding victories tonight by Jon Corzine and Tim Kaine have sent a powerful message that when Democrats stand up for what we believe in, we win. They showed that the values and priorities of the Democratic Party are the values and priorities of the American people.

"Jon Corzine and Tim Kaine were strong candidates who offered vision and leadership based on the shared values and priorities of the voters of New Jersey and Virginia. They worked hard to earn the trust and the votes of the people in their states by not taking a single vote or voter for granted.

"Also tonight, voters all across the country delivered a resounding message: Americans are tired of the politics of hate and divisiveness, and voted for strong Democratic candidates who offered true leadership for their states and communities. These candidates showed exactly what our party is going to do to stand up and win in 2006."


Okay Democrats, you have your official statement. Get a message, goddamn you! This is gonna be hilarious. Now enough politics, we voted and that's all that counts!
