0f Public Views Bush
As Some Form of “Butt Plug”
Americans have
growing doubts about whether President Bush’s strategy of not having an exit
strategy for the war was actually that smart a strategy, according to a recent
poll. They also all believe he is some form of a butt plug.
Half
of those in the poll taken by the Pew Research Center, 49 percent, said they
believe the president is “a bit of a butt plug,” while almost as many, 46
percent said he is “a total butt plug.” All agreed he is anything but
honest.
“If
the economy were doing better, if the Iraq war wasn’t as tenuous, if the
government weren’t corrupt, if George wasn’t such an arrogant and
unbending butt plug, if he had actually accomplished something, if his kids
weren’t so repulsive, if all of his acts weren’t so risible, then people
might be willing to cut Bush some slack,” said Robert Shapiro, who
specializes in public opinion, “but a butt plug is a butt plug, am I
right?”

EXCLUSIVE: GETTING INSIDE CHUCRH OF
SCIENTOLOGY
Going undercover inside the
nutty, kooky, jiggy, wiggy, creepy, eerie, freakishly oddball,
off-beat, off-the-wall, spaced-out-world of Tom
Cruise's church.
Exclusive By Avery Ant
It's the cult of money or
“belief system” which canned ham and one-note actor Tommy Cruiser says
has changed his life and made him a silver-headed immortal God.
But the controversial joke that
is Scientology was criticized last week after claims that its evil zombie
drones were preying on people caught up in the London bombings. Nice!
Packs of dead-eyed,
yellow-shirted, jack-booted, believers with vacant smiles arrived at the
scenes of carnage, offering "spiritual healing" to distraught
victims as well as pricey booklets titled How To Improve Conditions In
Life Simply By Being Like Us! And If You Join Us You Might Meet Tom
Cruise!
And yesterday 200
"volunteer sinister ministers" were sent out across the capital to
talk to people after the latest alerts.
But what exactly is
Scientology? A vile, manipulative cult that claims life on Earth was created
by aliens 75 million years ago? Well, yes!
To find out more about these
nut jobs, I enrolled as one. Getting a partial lobotomy and giving away all
my worldly goods garnered me their trust and a cool white robe. What
I discovered was, of course, disturbing and pathetic and demonstrates how
these risible sleaze balls prey on the insecure and vulnerable to boost its
growing ranks of misguided kooks.
Tomorrow: The
Indoctrination... And then Cocktails and Brainwashing!

Your
Horoscope:
Aries:
You will continue to view nerds as people who are accomplished in scientific
and technical pursuits but are socially inept. You’re so darn literal!
Taurus:
Tonight you are going to party like it’s 1659. We suggest burning a witch!
Gemini: Stop feeling sorry for yourself and start making things happen.
Oh, and clean up your room and do the dishes and for god’s sake get a
haircut. (Horoscope by mom.)
Cancer: Someone you know or will soon know knows what you need
to know. But you should know that just because they know doesn’t mean that
they’ll let you know. You know?
Leo: You have the charisma of a millionaire and the paycheque of circus
freak.
Virgo: You have been more prone than usual to fear, anxiety,
grief, depression, fatigue, guilt, loneliness, insecurity, and dental, liver
and kidney troubles. You need booze in the worst of ways, my friend.
Libra: We are entitled to something in life. You deserve new odor eaters.
Scorpio: Shit happens today.
Sagittarius: Asking your proctologist to trim his fingernails only makes
matters worse.
Capricorn: You won’t lack for moneymaking opportunities but for
moneymaking opportunities that pan out.
Aquarius: See above.
Pisces: The sun’s transit of the midheaven angle of your chart today
will mean absolutely nothing because horoscopes are not to be taken seriously.

Corporate Fool
INT.
OFFICE -- DAY
GUS
is behind a desk in his posh downtown office.
His daughter NANCY paces in front of his desk.
NANCY:
Dad, when I agreed to come to work for you it
was with the understanding that I'd be taken seriously -- that you give
serious consideration to my suggestions.
GUS:
Alright, Nancy, I get the point...show me your little report.
NANCY:
Look, Dad, I've been working on this for three months, so don't just write it
off, okay? It's all there in
black and white: the filtration system needs a complete overhaul.
GUS:
Come on, honey, don't be silly...that idea
will cost a fortune.
NANCY:
It would be money well spent dad. Besides,
I don't think we have a choice. So,
what do you say?
GUS:
I need another opinion.
NANCY:
Dad, please, trust me on this. I
know what I'm talking about.
Gus
presses an intercom button.
GUS:
Helen, have the Knave come hither.
NANCY:
Knave?
GUS:
Yes, David Flak.
NANCY:
Who's he?
GUS:
My Fool...you know, like in Shakespeare.
All the kings had them.
NANCY:
A Fool? Look,
dad, don't you think that given the cash flow problems we have that hiring
yourself some comic sidekick is just a little self indulgent?
GUS:
Nancy, this company is like my Fiefdom, and I
am its ruler, or Fief, if you will. And as such, I think I'm entitled to a few pleasures.
Besides, if Ed Gorman at vacu-waste can afford a corporate fool, I can
too.
DAVID
FLAK, the corporate fool enters. He
is dressed in medieval fool costume and leaps about manically.
FOOL:
Greeting my lord, alack, alas. Shall
I sing or prithee dance? Or speak a very naughty rhyme. Tell me and I'll waste
no time.
NANCY:
This is utterly ridiculous.
FOOL:
S'blood. Who is this lass who
stands by you -- the lead from The Taming of the Shrew?
GUS:
Ha ha...cut it out Fool, that's my daughter
you're talking about and this is no time for jokes -- though he really nailed
you there, huh Nancy? Fool, I
need your advice.
FOOL:
Beware! He
who turns to fools for thought, should not be teaching but instead be taught.
Still, if it pleases you to ask, I shall throw myself upon the task.
NANCY:
You can't seriously be thinking of asking him,
dad. What does he know about this
company? What does he know about
anything?
FOOL:
It's true I do indeed know naught, but that is
often quite a lot. Do not my education shun, for I took Shakespeare 101.
GUS:
Fool...see these blueprints? I
have some toxins held up here...now our filtration plant is, well, some
bleeding heart pansies who like to make a big deal of toxic waste say it's not
quite up to scratch.
FOOL:
The poison place where people cry. And not
from two, but from three eyes?
GUS:
Oh good. You know it...well, I
need to dump this stuff somewhere.
NANCY:
You don't need to dump it, dad...you need to
clean up the mess you've got.
GUS:
That's what I said... Hey... What's that?
Gus
points at a spot on the blueprint.
NANCY:
A sewer...
GUS:
Allah be praised.
NANCY:
We can't dump into that, dad.
GUS:
Fool?
FOOL:
What? Oh sorry.
Right. Why spend money to
fix the drains, when you can poison people's brains? If you are blind unto your crimes, who can stop you pumping
slime? Why think of those that
you will hurt? You've always
treated them like dirt.
GUS:
I agree, smart thinking Fool.
Nancy, tell the contractors to tap into the sewer.
NANCY:
Dad, listen to me: this is a mistake.
They'll close us down.
GUS:
They've tried before.
NANCY:
Maybe I should contact the board.
GUS:
What? Never!
This is my company.
FOOL:
(To Nancy) Your words are wasted on his ears,
for he is advanced in his years... His mind is addled, his vision fails; he
weighs out justice on broken scales.
NANCY:
You're not giving me a lot of choice here, dad.
Maybe you should get some rest, let me take over for a while, until
you're back to your old self again.
GUS:
Traitor...conspirator...you're fired.
Get out!
NANCY:
You can't be serious.
GUS:
Get out before I release the hounds...
NANCY:
Dad, what are you doing? You're
acting crazy.
GUS:
Out!!!
NANCY:
But daddy...
GUS:
I told you to never call me that at the office...get out...ungrateful wench. Sewage put you through University...good riddance to bad
rubbish.
Nancy
exits office in tears.
GUS
(CONT'D): Damn it all!
No one understands what it's like to be in charge of it all.
You understand me though, don't you, my pretty fool?
Tell me a rhyme.
FOOL:
I'm on my break.
GUS:
I said tell me a damn rhyme!
FOOL:
Fine... It's platitudes that thou adores, and empty ones I have in store.
The bravery that you showed today, will help to drive them all away.
And a noble king you shall always be, with just one friend, and you're
paying me. So regal yourself and have a laugh, and I shall write your
epitaph. And in it I shall duly
say...You lived your life without guilt or fear, but if only you had read King
Lear. You might have lived to see
the day, when you did not play out the play.
GUS:
I like it...now change hats and drive me home.
I have a headache.

Now I reckon it’s safe to
say I ain’t ever got done no proper schooling or learnt me alls I coulds
about reedin’ and writin.’ To
me, being a barefoot, inbred hillbilly is all I’s ever knowed. But as a poor
and common, God-loving and God-fearing man, well, that sure as squirrel pie
ain’t gonna stop me an the boys from playing our songs. So why’s donts I
tell ya all a lil’ bit about each one?
The opening ditty,
Get my jug, shotgun an’ sum plug tabakie (There’s a pretty boy in town!)
is all about how me and the boys like to capture city fellers who, for one
reason or t’other come up to the hills. Usually after we’s through done
doing stuff to them we let’s ‘em go... Usually.
Gopher Stew,
an’ Abducting Me A Mountain Bride is pretty much reflecting
hows we likes to eats and love. Though one time ol’ Cooter went an abducted
a gopher bride... Haw, dang, that was downright histerical!
Kissing my Sister (Some say
it’s wrong but it feels so right)
This one’s a love song that almost got me throwed in jail.
Baby’s out drinking so
the goat will have to do This one’s a
love song that almost got me killded by my sister.
If it’s the first day of spring then it's time for my bath and No shoes, no
teeth, nobody loves me was songs that we all wrote when we was
out huntin. We like huntin and whoah granny does we get some good idears fer
songs when we goes a huntin... Some day, I’m gonna write me a song about
huntin. I’ll call it “huntin.”
Some folks might say that Them’s
Feuding Words, My Old Kentucky Outsider Art, Crow Pie Jig, XXX – You, Me,
& the Moonshine and A Good Ol’
Boy Redneck Ain’t Hard To Find alls kinds of sounds alike. And
by gum, they’d be rite. Each song gots the same two chords, but them words
on each one is different.
Well
Cats My Fish and Call Me John Barleycorn was done ritten after ol’ Dauber said, “Well
Cats My Fish” and Duke then said, “And Call Me John Barleycorn.” That’s how we do that there creative processing up here in
the mountains.
Big
Breasted Daisy Mae and Her Corn Cob Pipe is a song about why it’s good to be a hillbilly!
