A Dick Cheney Thanksgiving

November 26th 2009 11:04
Thanksgiving was in full swing in the underworld. Food was being served, family was getting together, and Sarah Palin would do flybys in her helicopter shooting potential dinner for interested parties, but really was just making a mess. Across the lake of fire, perched on Death’s peak was the revered Cheney Manor, where the family was sitting down for their Turkey day. (They don’t eat turkey) Despite the uproar over the imaginary recession and the fact that Thanksgiving is merely a pit stop in comparison to the real celebration of gluttony, the Cheney clan was mostly together for this most joyous occasion. Joining Dick and his wife Lynne was Mary and her “friend” Beth, Elizabeth, her husband Phillip, and their kids Kate, Grace, Elizabeth, Richard, and Phillip. The kids were situated in the living room while the grown ups gathered in the dining room. Ahmad, proudly wearing his Guantonimo Bay alumni t-shirt had just laid out dinner.


Dick smiled kindly at the young man. (1 Puppy dies)

“Thank you Ahmad. It looks wonderful. Before you go, my throne is feeling a little lopsided.” Cheney said, indicating is throne made of human skeleton.

Ahmad nodded and retrieved a large thigh bone from a massive trash bag in the kitchen. He inserted it into the throne, making it a few inches higher.

“Much better. That will be all Ahmad.” Dick said.

Ahmad nodded and made his way out of the room with the grace of a Ninja Assassin ($$$In Theaters now$$$). Dick began eying the feast. He turned to Mary.

“This arm will need some flavor. Could you pass the soul?” He asked.

Mary violently made out with Beth before passing the bowl of soul down to her father with a smug look on her face. “I hope you don’t mind my lesbo hands touching it.”


The republican lord of chaos just shrugged as he poured some soul over the massive fried arm on his plate. Suddenly a startling sound pierced the air:

“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! !!!”

Lynne glanced over. “The Howard Dean is ringing. Ahmad could you get the door?”

Ahmad’s movement was art related hyperbole as he headed to the foyer and pulled open the door. George W. Bush stood on the other side beaming like a school girl. He even wore a white blouse with a tie.

“Hey Osama. I thought you were still at the palace?” He said happily, giving him a hearty pat on the back followed by a quick shoulder rub.

“No, sir. I am Ahmad. Master Cheney’s butler. Please come in.” Ahmad said, standing to the side.

“Why, thank you kindly.” Bush said, bowing slightly, apparently confusing Ahmad for an Asian gentleman.

The children and George greeted each other with glee, as he showed them the boat of Popsicle sticks he built in arts and crafts. Cheney groaned inwardly, while Lynne rolled her eyes. Mary and Beth glared daggers, Elizabeth forced a smile while her husband appeared excited enough to dry hump the table, or the former president, as he was a big fan of Bush. Phillip even had a poster in their shared room (Separate beds of course!!) that depicted Bush’s famous “Is our children learning?” address. Phillip often described hearing the former president speak as a duet featuring Unicorns and God.

After George finished his rounds with the kids, he happily greeted the adults with shoulder rubs for all. (The pleasure made Phillip temporarily lose consciousness) “How’s my favorite family team?!” He asked happily.

The king of aguish answered. “Just fine George. Where is your wife? And your daughters?”

Bush grinned sheepishly. “The wife is looking after the girls. They’re back from their study vacation in Europe. The jet lag was really hard on them. They both were throwing up and insist that they’re being followed by a Goblin in a tuxedo. Figure they just need to sleep it off. Not touching America for so long could also be part of it.”


The Cheney’s looked at each other, none having the heart to tell George the truth. This was quite literal in Cheney’s case, as his current heart belonged to a liberal. Instead he beckoned to the chair Ahmad had set up at the table so quickly it appeared to materialize from nothing.

“Have a seat George. We’re just about to make the Thanksgiving toast before digging in.” The King of Darkness said.

George happily sat down and accepted the My Pet Goat bib Ahmad poetically placed on him.

Dick Cheney rose from his throne of the damned to deliver his speech. (No teleprompter thank you very much Barack HUSSEIN Obama!)

“We are thankful to have been on the right side of shady business deals, financially beneficial policies, and my Haliburton stock so that we may properly celebrate this joyous American holiday of gluttony and football. This holiday to me is more American than even Independence day, as I have always felt that its history properly shows the America that I am proud of; surviving by any means necessary and the slaughtering of the innocent. So let us be thankful for our conservative ancestors who were able to teach the natives a valuable lesson: always crush the enemy…Praise Regan.”

“Praise Regan.” They all said with the exception of Mary who defiantly started kissing Beth’s neck.

Cheney sat back in his throne. “Dig in everybody.”

The family began feasting. George was thoroughly enjoying the massive slab of meat on his plate. “Boy, that’s a lot of meat. What is it?”

“Michael Moore. Freshly shot by Ahmad.” Lynne replied as she put some salad on her husband’s plate.

Phillip was staring at George W. clearly starstruck, as if a Star had punched him in the face. Not Russell Crow, but a real star. Not to imply Russell Crow is not an adequate star. We wish not to incur his wrath.

Phillip, now unable to contain his excitement chimed in:
“Personally I think you should have reigned permanently in the office. I also think we should have a monarchy...of the world. You’d be King. Or be like Hitler...for like the world! Any whosanator, what have you been up to now that you’re out of office Mr. President, hopefully Fuhrer?”

“Glad you ask- “ Just then Kanye West burst into the room.

“I know we were about to have a satirical monologue, and I’m gonna let you finish. But David Sedaris had the best Holiday Essay of all time…. All time…” He then quickly exited quietly singing ‘You Belong with me,’ his voice distorted by music software.

George Bush looked puzzled. “Isn’t that the guy that doesn’t like me?”

Mary nodded. “Yeah, he hates you…Like dad hates our love!” She said fiercely before licking the side of Beth’s face repeatedly.

Pain incarnated rolled his eyes.

George still looked puzzled. “Hey Dick, I didn’t know you even had black people around here.”

The Dark lord shook his head. “That’s not the case at all. In fact Al Sharpton lives right down the road. He’s next to T.D. Jakes.”

“Ohhh.” George said excitedly. “That’s amazing you live so close to those people. I just love their music. That salsa sure is catchy.”

Dick was about to correct him and reprimand his apparent support of Hispanics when he froze and fell sideways off his throne.

Lynne looked up from her plate. “Oh dear, Dick needs a new heart. And we’re out. Hey Ahmad!”

“Yes my queen?” He inquired, entering the room with the swiftness of a very swift Ghost.

“Could you go out and grab Dick a new heart?’

He nodded. “Of course. Democrat?”

Lynne shook her head. “No, they don’t last very long. Not strong enough. Head over to the border. Plenty of strong ones there.”

He bowed and acrobatically left the room, taking the sniper rifle from the hall closet as he left the house.

An awkward silence fell among the table. Bush broke it.

“You know I don’t hate black people. I mean, one just broke in here and I didn’t even call the cops. Beat that Pelosi!”

Hearty laughter filled the table, though Phillip laughed so hard he died.

Nobody noticed, except Beth who couldn’t’ talk because Mary wouldn’t stop making out with her.

Hello blogosphere. I decided to break out of my hermit like writing existence to bring you the obligatory Halloween special. In this case, I’ve gone for functional and funny by giving you all some ideas that will allow you to blow away people this trick or treating season. You could be the life of the party! Guys you could get laid by a slutty cop, or a slutty nurse, or you know 99 percent of the female demographic on Halloween. At least just get some laughs. Man, I wish I had this resource available when I still cared enough to spend my parents money on some clever, over priced costume that I’d only wear once. Thinking of something genius can be downright difficult. After all there are so many other things to occupy your thought process this time of year. Like how to bang that girl, which party will have the most free booze? Where will I least likely get robbed? The last thing you want to do is agonize over how to look brilliant without going over people’s heads. And you wouldn’t be caught dead in something as cliché as a ghost or as lame as an emo vampire only attractive to 12 year old goths. Well fear not, because I am your best resource (if you don’t feel like looking) for the perfect costume to wear out for that special day of devil worship and anonymous hookups. I’m not presumptive enough to only give you one because if you’re like me, you need options. So I’ve come to deliver the 5 best costume ideas that I’ve come across since I started searching 3 hours ago.

5) Balloon Boy- Do you have one of those annoying friends/girlfriends who get waaaay too pumped about Halloween? Are they insisting on some elaborate costume idea that requires you both to match? Do you really just wanna stay home and watch the game, or go to a party that’s actually cool? Well you can’t go wrong with Balloon boy.

Execution: Have the person bothering you don a large silver balloon costume, and then say you’re going to hide out and pop in later for the big reveal. You can use this opportunity to go wherever you want. The best part is, they can’t give you crap about it, because you were just staying in character.

Pro’s: Funny, even if they’re smart enough to deduce the ramifications. Plus a bonus of hilarity if everybody else catches on but them. You can also get rid of somebody annoying for the night!

Con’s: Getting dumped if its your girlfriend, or not getting any if she doesn’t find it amusing.

4) Joe Biden- Everyone and their grandparents are doing the Sara Palin or Barack Obama costume. Now you can separate yourself from the pack by being our beloved Vice President. This costume makes you look witty and in the know since you’ll likely be the only person wearing it.

Execution: You can get a Biden mask, if you wish, or if you’ve got the complexion, don the grey slicked back hair. Make sure you’ve got a decent suit to wear as well, because Joey the Shark doesn’t dress like a bum. The tricky part will be crafting a foot into your mouth. It would work better if you managed to find a mask, then you just need a fake foot to insert. Without the mask you’ll have a problem talking which takes away part of the fun. As Joe Biden, you’ll be encouraged to talk without any regard to the ramifications. Think that girl has noticeable camel toe? Say it loud. Is your buddy cheating on his girlfriend? Share with the class. Honesty is after all, always rewarded.

Pro’s: Clever, unique, and lends itself to endless scenarios of hilarity.
Con’s: You’ll probably get into a fight if you have any extended conversation with a human being. You also can’t drink because Joe doesn’t get down like that.

3) Michael Jackson- Too soon? Not on Halloween! Show your support for the king of pop with this costume guaranteed to make you the center of attention. Whether its because they love you or you’re being asked to leave is dependent on how lame of a party you’re at.

Execution: This requires a group effort. First you’ll need standard Jackson attire: Hat, gloves, hair, etc. Next you’ll need two fairly strong guys to carry you on the stretcher you’ll be bringing along. Finally you’ll need a black guy to play Dr. Conrad Murray. He’ll be well dressed and menacingly hovering above you with a generic bottle of pills. The effect will guarantee that you’ll turn heads. Hopefully they’ll be pointed to the ceiling in bellowing laughter!

Pro’s: HILARIOUS! You will be forgiven for the requisite work put into this for the joy it will bring to people. This will blow up the Twitter-verse and have you waking up to double digit notifications on Facebook.

Con’s: Apart from needing friends, free time, and capitol, you just may run into some people that don’t get the joke and you never know with those Michael Jackson fans. They could do anything from softly reprimanding you to shooting you in the face. So be careful. Speaking of shooting…

2) Plaxico Burress- We can’t forget about the once promising wide receiver, slated to go behind bars for shooting himself in the leg ala Cheddar Bob, while in a nightclub. Now you can recreate the comedy that gave those anti 2nd amendment folks ammo for weeks. (No pun intended)

Execution: Purchase a Plaxico Burress jersey and wear it. Football face paint is optional. Next you’ll need corn syrup to act as blood. You’ll put in on your pants leg. The only thing you need to do now is limp around while holding a fake pistol and presto! You’re now a moronic professional athlete.

Pro’s: Its funny, fairly easy to put together, and is perfect for any still bitter New York Giant’s fans you may know.

Con’s: If the aforementioned bitter New York Giants fans don’t have a sense of humor, you may be in a tough spot, in the event that they’re gun-ho on defending their teams honor with violence. (Pun intended)



NUMBER 1!

This was by far my favorite. If you watched cartoons in the early 90’s then this will be a nuclear blast from the past. This character grew a bit of a cult like following for his appearance on the once popular show Freakazoid. That’s right I’m talking about the one and only: Candlejack!

Execution: The first thi…..

Okay I’m a basketball junkie, so I’ve got to give my two cents on how I think the regular season will play out. Since you know, I’m an expert. (Fantasy team, X-box, etc) So what I’ll do is hone in on each of the biggest questions and storylines heading into this NBA season:

]The New Referees:

Furor Stern seems to have already put a gag order out on the league preventing any heinous and unjust verbal abuse of the new refs; basically any honest criticism. This will prove to be quite a tall order, as evidenced by Larry Brown’s ejection. It was actually quite amusing. To me it was reminiscent of a person trying to act calm while a criminal is hiding under a table with a gun trained on them. He REALLY wanted to say: “Ideally we would want Officials that don’t rig games, but these guys are just horrendous. I mean come on, 94 fouls in a Preseason game?! PRESEASON?! Not the Playoffs, we’re talking about PRESEASON! PRESEASON?!” Yeah, I don’t see this playing out too well. I just hope the players can step it up to distract from these Refs who are clearly in over their heads, until Stern decides to pay up.

Shaq and the King

I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first. Actually no, I thought they should have made this deal at the trade deadline instead of deluding themselves into thinking that Arthritic Z would be able to defend Dwight Howard in a best of 7. Actually kinda yes because Shaq sometimes seems more into Twitter and Hamburgers than his team. However, seeing them in action I was quite impressed. Lebron is just as Deity like as ever, but combined with Shaq they present a conundrum for defenses, particularly on the pick and roll. Also Delonte West’s mid life crisis won’t even be too much of a problem with the acquisitions of Anthony Parker and Jamario Moon. Now they have a counter for Dwight with Shaq and a counter for Vince Carter with Parker and Moon. The Cavs are poised to make another run at the finals this year, barring injury or Delonte West shooting up the arena.

Vince Carter in Orlando:

Mr. Half man half a season is once again in a new uniform looking to redeem his image. Orlando opted not to pay Hedo and instead picked up Vincanity. I’m still skeptical as to how this will be an improvement that will put Orlando over the hump, despite the best efforts of their PR people. Turk provided them with a match up nightmare. He’s 6’10, can shoot from anywhere on the court, dribble, and passes like a guard. He even greatly improved his on ball defense. At one point in the Finals Hedo was running the offense, scoring, and defending Kobe. With Vince Carter, they get an upgrade in athleticism and a better scorer, but Carter is unproven as a playmaker on par with Hedo and does not defend as well, nor does he create as much as a match up problem. Not to mention potential chemistry damage if Vince starts mailing in games at random. I just think this Offseason Orlando was playing Checkers while the Cavs were playing Chess, and it might show when they meet in the playoffs.



Ron Ron:
This was just stupid. You have a 24 year old blossoming into a big time contributor and you spend money on a 30 year old head case on the decline. I cannot fathom the potency of the Narcotics Jerry Buss was on when he signed off on this. If they had just signed Ariza then you could pencil the Lakers in for another Finals appearance at the very least. Now they have a big question mark. Can Ron Artest function without pissing off the whole team? Will he even play that well in the triangle? The Lakers had enough worries after finding out Bynum would have to wear a brace for his whole career because of his fragile knee, now they have to worry about a player showing up in boxers on the team bus in front of execs. Not a good look LA. This doesn’t bother me though since I don’t even like the Lakers. I love Phil, but I don’t care for the organization and Kobe is a douche bag. Shrug.

I’ll get into more of my insights and analysis in part 2 of my NBA season preview. (I won’t take forever this time)

Book of the Week

August 22nd 2009 14:51
Okay so I'm going to write up brief reviews of books that I've read and found to be particularly awesome that I think should be checked out. I read a lot, which partially comes from working at a bookstore for a year. This first one, actually isn't going to be one book. Its actually 5. (No its not War and Peace) Its a series of books by Rick Riordin called Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Now the first book of the saga titled the Lighting Thief was recently added to schools required reading and it almost makes me want to travel back to 8th grade and put up with those jackasses just to be forced to read this. Trust me, for any age, these books are amazing. Except for maybe like a toddler. Unless they were genius or something.

President Obama, needless to say is a breath of fresh air after nearly drowning and then waking up next to a pile of Cow feces. How a Cow got near a body of water is beside the point. Unfortunately, the new commander in chief has not been living up to my expectations of real change. There are numerous instances that I'll probably address at some point, but what I want to get at is one main issue that should be our biggest concern....The environment. Now unless you are one of the special bunch that think Global Warming is a myth and that the Earth is 2000 years old, you should be concerned as well. At this point, its irreversible... However if we make changes, then our children will have a planet to live on. Assuming we don't kill ourselves with Nuclear warfare before then of course.

Why we Fear Success

October 7th 2008 21:56
Marianne Williamson stated that our deepest fear is not our inadequacy, but that we possess power beyond measure. Now logically this makes no sense. People are not consciously afraid of succeeding, they don't consciously think they are insane, nor do they believe they are evil. It is our ego's that create an illusion to prevent us from seeing what lies below the surface.

The truth is, people are terrified of succeeding, and not just the journey to get there. Because in life its not getting what you want, its wanting it after you've gotten it.... Success can carry a heavy burden. When Oprah Winfrey lost weight, she immediately lost several of her closest friends. Why? Because the sad truth is that your success is scary to others

The Maverick and the Pig

September 14th 2008 15:34
Finally, some decency from the republicans. John Mccain has seen the light! He concedes that the country needs something new in order to thrive so he is intentionally trying to lose...right? It just makes too much sense. 80% of the country hate George W. Bush, so Mccain agrees with our esteemed president over 90% of the time and never misses a photo opt. 2 out of 3 people want out of Iraq now, so he of course talks about how great the surge is and how we need to stay for 100 years. Mccain is an old man with a history of cancer, so of course you'd want a VP that you'd be comfortable with....Not when you're trying to lose on purpose. No you hire a hockey mom from Alaska who's greatest accomplishment was finishing second in a 3 person beauty pageant 30 years ago....No? You mean he's NOT trying to lose? Whats this, the polls show the race is even? I'm torn between uncontrollable laughter and crying myself to sleep.

Can Americans seriously be this stupid? Yes...yes they can. I'm truly baffled at the way this race is going. I'm watching Palin and Mccain and literally can't believe what i'm hearing. They are telling lies. Not the kind of lie that you'd have to dig deep to uncover, no. The kind of lies like for example somebody who looks like Pee Wee Hermin saying, "Yeah, I make 200K a year as a model

Jesse Jackson is a Moron

July 12th 2008 23:06
Greetings, one or two people who may read my blog whenever I have the free time and desire to rant about something, or share my opinion. I haven't been keeping up with my non profit duties as a result of numerous other ventures, but since I've got some free time I figured, hey why not blog about something. In addition, sometimes the staggering stupidity of another human being is so great that I absolutely must share my thoughts with others, since you know talking to myself would be weird...In this particular instance, I'd like to get into the Jesse Jackson controversy, which I just now decided to dub "Genitalia Gate" since its one of the rare non issues used by the media to distract us from relevant topics that I happen to find amusing. And the word genitalia makes me chuckle.

It's my own fault. I gave him the benefit of the doubt. How could I not? This is the man that delivered the epic 'holy crap' moment during the Sixth Sense. He impressed me with Unbreakable and made me jump like Kobe Bryant over a snake infested swimming pool with Signs. So I was willing to ignore the talk that surrounded his last two efforts which received luke warm responses. I liked the Village and think the hate stemmed from arrogant critics not wanting to admit that they misjudged something that went over their heads. I can't defend Lady in the Water, so I won't bother. However, none of that mattered. This was new M. Night season. The time of year for misleadingly good trailers and a fascinating premise. Plus this one had Mark Wahlberg and people falling off buildings, I had to check it out. It wouldn't be bad, M. Night would show up the doubters without casting himself as a main character and tooling an in film critic in the ultimate display of immaturity.

So on Saturday afternoon, I went to my usual theater, paid for my 8 dollar ticket and bought some cold, overpriced movie food, because I just knew it would be worth every penny. (And I missed breakfast) I passed the time waiting for the movie to let out and for the workers to half heartedly clean the place of discarded nacho trays and spilled popcorn by reading some of The Great Derangement. How appropriate a selection, as I've just now realized. Finally it was time to go in and after sitting through the previews of crap I don't want to see for the most part, it was time for
