Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

A politician will find an excuse to get out of anything, except office. I find this amusing. Celebrities do the same thing when they screw up. The amazing thing is that they always come up with a dimwitted excuse and, amazingly, they often escape serious punishment.

They say they're going into rehab or they found God or make some ridiculous excuse for their actions. Most people see through the shams and recognize a liar when they see one. Some people don't.

Most of us realize that if we were in their boots, our asses would be sent up the river so quickly, there wouldn't even be time to look for a paddle.

And, man oh man, do they desert their friends when the caca hits the oscillator. Anthony Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, is now laying low and has taken a temporary leave from working for Hillary Clinton.

This is because Clinton's worried about her 2016 presidential campaign and she's in enough horse manure as it is. She definitely doesn't want to be associated with a Weiner. The ghost of Monica Lewinsky still hovers over her.

Anthony Weiner, also known as "Carlos Danger" still won't quit the New York City mayoral race. His recent antics have dropped him into last place. Once an ass, always an ass.....

 The News As I See It: Things are not looking good for former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez. It looks like he may spend the rest of his life in jail. On the plus side, Hernandez says he's looking forward to playing on the prison football team under coach Whitey Bulger.

Speaking of prison, OJ Simpson is supposedly up to around 300 pounds. In fact, OJ is now the leading cause of prison overcrowding. He's so fat, he’s asking for the death penalty just so he can get the last meal.

Happy birthday to Arnold Schwarzenegger who recently turned 66 years old. It was an odd celebration. Arnold didn't really get excited until after the party when the maids came to clean up.

Justin Bieber's tour bus was stopped by Canadian border patrol agents. And they found marijuana. The agents said Bieber was a disgrace to Canada and should never come back. Then they found the marijuana.

Pope Francis said he will not judge priests who are gay. That must have been some trip to Rio. In response, gay priests said they will not judge Pope Francis for wearing that robe with those shoes.

Russian President Vladimir Putin was on vacation last week, and apparently he caught a giant 46-pound fish. Putin called it a crowning achievement, while the manager of the aquarium said, "What am I supposed to do? He's president."

Printable Things I Never Told You: 1) I bought my girlfriend a hamster skin coat last week.

Nine horrible, tedious, meaningless, worthless, meatless years. 3) Did you know that deer live an average of 15 years in the wild, but can live up to 87 in a condominium? 4) Nothing says I have faith in God like the bullet proof glass on the Pope's car. 5) I once dated a girl who I felt had ulterior motives. I'm not saying she a gold digger, but she had a helmet with a flashlight on it and a pick axe.....and that's five !

Today's Horoscope: Leo - July 31st: A potential mate will come to you today and will affect your self confidence. Bizarrely, you will attempt a counter-strike by sharpening your pencils.

The AREA 51 Retirement Home Bar And Grill: Russ and Sam met in the park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems. One day Russ didn't show up. Sam didn't think much about it and figured maybe he had a cold or something.

But after Russ hadn't shown up for a week or so, Sam really got worried. However, since the only time they ever got together was at the park, Sam didn't know where Russ lived, so he was unable to find out what had happened to him. A month had passed and Sam figured he had seen the last of Russ.

One day,Sam approached the park and lo and behold, there sat Russ! Sam was very excited and happy to see him. Then he said, "For crying out loud Russ, what in the world happened to you?" Russ replied, "I have been in jail." Sam cried, "Jail? What in the world for?"

Russ said, "You know Sue,that cute little blonde waitress at the coffee shop, where I sometimes go?" Sam said, 'Yeah, I remember her. What about her?" Russ said, "She filed rape charges against me, and at 89 years old, I was so proud that when I got into court, I pleaded 'guilty'. The judge gave me 30 days for perjury."

A drunk staggers into a bar demanding a beer. The bartender informed him that he was not allowed to serve alcohol to drunken patrons. After a few harsh words, the bartender suggested to the drunk to prove he wasn't drunk by doing twenty push-ups on the floor.

As he was doing the push-ups, another drunk staggers into the bar and sees this guy on the floor doing push-ups. He looks at him for a minute and then nudges him in the ribs saying, "Hey man, I think your girlfriend has gone home."

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: A young man is vacationing alone in Hawaii. He hits the beach, hoping to meet some young ladies. Much to his surprise, they all seem to be drawn to an old guy a little further down the shoreline. He goes back to the hotel, hoping for better luck that night in a night-club. He gets to the club and he sees the same old man, surrounded by beautiful women.

He pulls the old guy aside and asked, "Man, what's your secret?" The old man replies, "I saw you on the beach today and I felt sorry for you. So I'll give you a tip. Try putting a pair of socks down your trunks." The young man is thankful for the advice, and can't wait for the next day to try his luck again.

The next morning he goes out to the beach again, with a clean pair of socks neatly tucked into his trunks. But the girls only smile at him and move on. He then sees the old man again, completely surrounded, of course by beautiful women.

That night, he finds the old man again and asks for more help. The wise old man responds with another fine tip, "Next time son, put the socks in the front of your trunks.

A foursome of guys is waiting at the mens' tee while a foursome of women is hitting from the ladies' tee. The ladies are taking their time. When the final lady is ready to hit her ball, she hacks it 10 feet. Then she goes over and whiffs it completely.Then she hacks it another ten feet and finally hacks it another five feet.

She looks up at the patiently waiting men and says apologetically, "I guess all those f**king lessons I took over the winter didn't help." One of the men immediately responds, "Well, there you have it. You should have taken golf lessons instead!" (He never even had a chance to duck.)

A lawyer, an illegal alien, a pathological liar, a Muslim, a Communist and a black guy walk into a bar. The bartender asked, "What'll it be, Mr. President?"

That's it for today, my little kitty cats. Remember, the difference between a brown noser and an ass kisser is depth perception. I'm going to AREA 51 for happy hour.

The Wizard Of Obamoz - Phony Scandals? Really?

Monday's White House update has been released by that obnoxious little munchkin with the glasses:

Good Morning: Blah blah blah, phony scandals, blah blah blah, phony scandals, blah blah blah, phony scandals and finally, phony scandals. Pay no attention to the black man behind the curtain. Phony scandals, yadda yadda yadda.

And now, we take you to, a press conference with the president of the United States:

"Good afternoon, I'd like to talk to you today about, blah blah blah and yadda yadda yadda. Then, I'll take a few questions by my preselected lackeys who will ask a number of inane, non intrusive questions. Blah blah plah, phony scandals! Further more, blah blah blah, phony scandals, yadda yadda yadda. Any questions?"

Reporter Dorothy from Kansas: Mr. Obamoz, specifically which scandals are phony?" Benghazzi? The IRS targeting conservative and pro-Israel groups prior to the 2012 election? The Justice Department suggesting that Fox News reporter James Rosen was a criminal for reporting about classified information? Fast and Furious? Atty General Eric Holder's pending contempt of congress prosecution? The General Services Administration's $825,000 spending spree? Solyndra?"

The News As I See It: In his current speeches about the economy, Obama say we're all distracted by phony scandals. It’s time we started getting distracted by the phony recovery.

Neural scientists at M.I.T. say they can plant false memories in your brain. That's not new. Politicians have been doing that for years. They're called campaign promises.

The Lincoln Memorial was vandalized. Somebody snuck in the Lincoln Memorial and threw green paint all over Lincoln. How is that possible? I mean, 148 years later and this guy still can't get any security?

Anthony Wiener's campaign has hit a snag. The first survey since his recent scandal found he is now second place in the race for New York City mayor. The guy in third said, "Are you kidding me? What do I gotta do?"

Obama has got a big retreat coming up. He invited all his Cabinet members to Camp David. Unfortunately, Joe Biden couldn't make the retreat because he's in Asia. That's because Obama told him the retreat was in Asia.

A big movie just opened called "Wolverine." Hugh Jackman is a guy with sharp nails who'll tear apart any man who crosses his path. I'm not real sure what he does in the movie.
 

"So I says to him, 'Hey, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck'....."

I tell my grandchildren about walking across the room to change channels! 5) I like to walk up to strangers and ask, "Would you take a photo of me?" If they say yes, I hand them a photo of me and walk away......and that's five !

The AREA 51 Retirement Home Bar And Grill: A student nurse found an elderly gentleman dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet. Since hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being discharged, she brought the man a wheelchair. although he insisted he didn't any help to leave the hospital.

After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let the student nurse wheel him to the elevator. On the way down, she asked him if his wife was meeting him. He answered, "I don't know. She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown."

In May of this year, police in Detroit announced the discovery of an arms cache of 200 semi-automatic rifles with 25,000 rounds of ammunition, 200 pounds of heroin, 5 million in forged US banknotes and 25 trafficked prostitutes, all in a semi-detached house behind the Public Library on Woodward Ave.

Local residents were stunned. A community spokesman said, "We're all shocked! We never knew we had a library."

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: An extremely modest man was in the hospital for a series of tests, the last of which had left his bodily systems extremely upset. Upon making several false alarm trips to the bathroom, he decided the latest episode was another and stayed put.

He suddenly filled his bed with diarrhea and was embarrassed beyond his ability to remain rational. In a complete loss of composure he jumped out of bed, gathered up the bed sheets, and threw them out the hospital window.

A drunk was walking by the hospital when the sheets landed on him. He started yelling, cursing, and swinging his arms violently trying to get the unknown things off, and ended up with the soiled sheets in a tangled pile at his feet.

As the drunk stood there, unsteady on his feet, staring down at the sheets, a hospital security guard, who had watched the whole incident, walked up and asked, "What the heck is going on here?" The drunk, still staring down replied, "I'm not sure but I think I just beat the shit out of a ghost."

A biker stopped by the local Harley Shop to have his bike repaired. They couldn't do the work while he waited and so, since he didn't live far from the shop, he decided to walk home. On the way home he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket and an anvil. He stopped at the feed store and picked up a couple of chickens and a goose. However, he had a problem. How to carry his entire purchases home.

The feed store owner said, "Why don't you put the anvil in the bucket, carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?" The biker said, "Hey, thanks!" and out the door he went.

In the parking lot he was approached by a little old lady who told him she was lost and asked if he could tell her the way to 1603 Mockingbird Lane. The biker said, "As a matter of fact, I live on Mockingbird Lane. We can take a short cut down this alley and be there in no time".

The little old lady looked him over cautiously and then said, "I am a lonely widow without a husband to defend me. How do I know that when we get in the alley you won't hold me up against the wall, pull up my skirt and ravish me?"

The biker said, "Holy smokes lady! I'm carrying a bucket, an anvil, two chickens, and a goose. How in Hell could I possibly hold you up against a wall and do that?"

The lady said, "Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the anvil on top of the bucket and I'll hold the chickens."

That's it for today, my little munchkins. Remember, some people want a perfect relationship. I just want a cheeseburger that looks like the ones in the commercials.

The Art Of Navigation - Partying On A Docked Cruise Ship

Despite the horror stories about cruise ships, I still enjoy them. I like the continuous party atmosphere and all the different foods. It does bring to mind, however, the night I went with Sister Jeanne to a company Christmas party for Carnival employees on the Ecstasy which was docked in port.

Sister Jeanne decided early that she wanted to hang out with her friends at a disco bar. On the other hand, I decided that I preferred to keep my hearing intact and found a piano bar which fit my style.

All was well for a while and as it turned out, I knew the performer and was invited on stage do perform a few songs with him. I had a few Johny Walker Blacks and the night went by rather rapidly.

The next thing I knew, last call was announced and I went to the disco to find my sister only to learn that she had already disembarked. This created a problem.

I had not paid much attention as to how we got on board and that, combined with Johnnie Walker Black's ineptitude. left me wandering all over the ship for nearly an hour. Methinks the next time I'll pay more attention to the ingress and egress and drop some breadcrumbs along the way, just in case.....

The News As I See It: Anthony Weiner has been caught in yet another sexting scandal. At the beginning of this campaign he said that other texts and photos were likely to come out. Well, they have. Finally, a politician who keeps his promises! Weiner said yesterday that he wants closure. If he wants closure he should start with his zipper.

Weiner confirmed yesterday that he sent some new sexually explicit messages to a woman on Facebook using the code name "Carlos Danger." Which is still easier to believe than that other name - Mayor Weiner. He also sent nude pictures of himself to this woman using Yahoo email address. His wife was shocked. She said, "You still use Yahoo?"

The Obama administration has admitted that under Obamacare, you might not be able to keep your doctor. At first the president guaranteed you'd be able to keep your doctor, and now they're saying you "might" be able to. Today Obama changed his slogan from "Yes we can" to "Perhaps we could try, can’t promise anything."

The royal baby finally has a name. It took a few days but they named him Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge. The parents said they wanted a name that reflects his country's great history and gets him beaten up at school every day.

At least one case of bubonic plague has been confirmed here in L.A. It was a squirrel. I hope the plague doesn't spread. If it wipes out squirrels across the country, what's Honey Boo Boo going to have for dinner?

Picture Of The Day: The animal below is a Brahma Bull. The area where he stands almost exactly replicates an area in Hendry County in Florida where I often fished on a ranch owned by the Hendry family.

Behind this magnificent bull is a small canal similar to my fishing hole. Sharing the pasture with the Brahmas were also Texas Longhorns.

Being only 13-14 years old at the time, I walked the area (which was loaded with largemouth bass), mostly oblivious to the cattle. That is, until the day a big Brahma decided I was encroaching upon his area.

He charged, I ran and let me tell you something. I found new respect for bulls. I also learned that, in the pine tree scrubs of Florida, sometimes it's a pretty long distance between trees.

His mother then began removing the cream with a tissue. Little Johnny said, "What's the matter? Giving up?"

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly."

The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?" The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know... the one that's red and has thorns?"

The other man said, "Do you mean a rose?" The man said, "Yes, that's the one." He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: My thanks to my pal Mike for his contribution to today's stories.

A Nun and a Priest were crossing the Sahara Desert on a camel. On the third day out, the camel suddenly dropped dead. After dusting themselves off, the Nun and the Priest surveyed their situation. After a long period of silence, the Priest spoke, "Well, Sister, this looks pretty grim." The Nun replied, "I know, Father. In fact, I don't think it likely that we can survive more than a day or two."

The Father said, "Sister, since we are unlikely to make it out of here alive, would you do something for me?" The Nun replied, "Anything, Father." The Priest said, "I have never seen a woman's breasts and I was wondering if I might see yours."

The Nun replied, "Well, under the circumstances I don't see that it would do any harm." The Nun opened her habit and the Priest enjoyed the sight of her shapely breasts, commenting frequently on their beauty"

The Priest said, "Sister, would you mind if I touched them?" She consented and he fondled them for several minutes. The Nun then said, "Father, could I ask something of you?" The Father replied, "Yes, Sister?" The Nun said, "I have never seen a man's penis. Could I see yours?" The Priest replied. "I suppose that would be okay."

The Priest lifted his robe. The Nun said. "Oh Father, may I touch it?" The priest consented and after a few minutes of fondling he was sporting a huge erection."

The Priest said, "Sister, you know that if I insert my penis in the right place, it can give life." The Nun replied, "Is that true Father?" The Priest answered, "Yes, it is, Sister." The Nun said, "Oh Father, that's wonderful. stick it in the camel's ass and let's get the hell out of here!"

A young preacher was contacted by the local funeral director to hold a grave-side committal service at a small local cemetery for someone with no family or friends.

The preacher started early but quickly got himself lost, making several wrong turns. He arrived a half-hour late, the hearse was nowhere in sight, and the workmen were eating lunch. The pastor went to the open grave and found the vault lid already in place.

Taking out his book, he read the service. As he was returning to his car, he overheard one of the workmen say, "Do you think we should tell him it's a septic tank?"

That's it for today, my little sweet peas. Remember, the best exercise program consists of having a lot of stairs in your home and forgetting things. I'm off to AREA 51 for happy hour.

Have a great weekend and more on Monday.

Anthony Weiner - The Epitome Of Arrogance

Former congressman and current New York City Mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner has had even more photographs released about his sexting scandal. Weiner posed as a man named "Carlos Danger" while sending pornographic photos of himself through the Internet — after he resigned from Congress for doing just that. New Yorkers were so shocked that Eliot Spitzer fell off his hooker.

Weiner responded to new sexting allegations on Tuesday following claims from nightlife website "The Dirty" that the former congressman had engaged in sex chats with a 22-year-old woman in 2012." The Dirty" has released what they claim is an exclusive photo of Weiner's, ahem, goods.

Weiner, the repulsive, uncontrolled, power-hungry publicity hound has humiliated himself and his wife by continue his recent actions, knowing there was material out there even worse than the stuff that got him ousted from Congress.

Just for the record, Eliot Spitzer says he has not paid for prostitutes since he resigned as New York governor in 2008. Way to go client number nine.....

The News As I See It: NASA released pictures of earth taken from 900 miles away. From 900 miles away, you can make out the Great Wall of China. In Newark, you can make out New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.

In England, the royal baby has been named George Alexander Louis and has left the hospital. He will now go to one of the royal estates, where he will rest comfortably — for the next 80 years. This royal baby is third in line for the throne, to which Prince Charles said, "It's a really slow-moving line."

The royal baby was officially welcomed with a 62-gun salute. Because if there's one thing babies love, it's the sound of repeated artillery fire. Experts are predicting that the royal baby could pump $380 million into the British economy. So the question is: How do we get this kid to move to Detroit?

Obama has issued a statement about the royal baby. He told him to hang on to the birth certificate. Those things come in handy.

Detroit has become the largest city in U.S. history to file for bankruptcy. What happened was Detroit's population dropped something like 70 percent, but the government got bigger. The tax base got smaller, but the government got bigger. Thank God that kind of thing could never happen in Washington.

The AREA 51 Retirement Home Bar And Grill: An older man's daughter asked why he didn't do something useful with his time. She suggested he go down to the senior center and hang out with the guys. The old man did this and when he got home, he told her that he had joined a parachute club.

She said, "Are you nuts? You're almost 70 years old and you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?" He proudly showed her that he even got a membership card. She said to him,"Dad, where are your glasses? This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club!"

The old man said, "Well, I'm in trouble now! I signed up for five jumps a week!

Two psychiatrists were attending their first seminar on emotional extremes. The leader said, "Just to establish some parameters, Mr. Nichols, what is the opposite of joy?" The student said, "Sadness."

The leader continued, "And the opposite of depression, Ms. Biggs?" Mr. Biggs said, "Elation."

The leader turned to Bubba and said, "And you sir, how about the opposite of woe?" Bubba replied, "I believe that would be giddyup."
 

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: A man escapes from prison where he has been for 15 years. He breaks into a house to look for money and guns and finds a young couple in bed. He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair. While tying the girl to the bed, he gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom.

While he’s in there, the husband tells his wife, "Listen, this guy’s an escaped convict, look at his clothes! He probably spent lots of time in jail and hasn’t seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck."

The husband continued, "If he wants sex, don’t resist, don’t complain, do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is probably very dangerous. If he gets angry, he’ll kill us. Be strong, honey. I love you."

His wife responded, "He wasn’t kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me he was gay, thought you were cute and asked me if we had any vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong honey. I love you too!!"

One bright, beautiful Sunday morning, everyone in the tiny town of Johnstown got up early and went to the local church. Before the service started, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking about their lives and their families.

Suddenly, the Devil himself appeared in front of the congregation. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.

Soon everyone was evacuated from the church except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew, not moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.

Now this confused Satan a bit, so he walked up to the man and said, "Don't you know who I am?" The man replied, "Yep, sure do." Satan asked "Aren't you afraid of me?" The man answered, "Nope, sure ain't."

Satan was a little perturbed at this and queried, "Why aren't you afraid of me?" The man calmly replied, "I been married to your sister for 48 years."

Stay Tuned !
