Vincenzo is the person who found irony in the “Twenty One” quiz show scandal. Everyone was worried about keeping the high ground for a program sponsored by GERITOL tonic for “tired blood.”

(Dick) Armey’s View Of Americans With Pre-Existing Conditions: Someone Who ‘Eats Like A Pig’ And Has Diabetes–THINK PROGRESS headline, 11/09/2009
Monday, November 9th, 2009Dick Armey has always been one of my least favorite Republicans. During his halcyon days of Kenny Starr & the Stained Blue Dress, I shall never forget reading that Dick’s wife wanted to sue her retail landlord because her McLean dress shop folded.

There once was a Hartford man,
Who loved to play Kiss-The-Can
Of macher execs who swam in largesse
And worked on their corporate tans.
While all this may sound quite tame,
Fair history will know it is lame,
For the Senator’s kisses–
Likes his moans and his pisses
Will crown him as Infame.

Capitol Police Looking Into Phone Call Made To Congressman Over Health Care Reform
The above headline in the Huffington Post goes far to sum up the intellectualism of the ruffians who invade Town Meetings about health care and who do not want the government to take control of Medicare and Medicaid. It’s to […]

06/16/2009

The government decides that Swine Flu is not frightening enough. Now they call it H1N1 as if it were an off-shoot of the late Robert Crichton’s Andromeda Strain. How about calling it the more familiar N1H1?
