PJ O’Rourke says he’d vote for Hillary Clinton rather than Citizen Trump:
“I mean she’s wrong about everything, but she’s wrong within normal parameters.”

PJ O'Rourke's surprising Presidential pick
PJ O’Rourke says he’d vote for Hillary Clinton rather than Citizen Trump:
Ass Goblins of Auschwitz, by Cameron Pierce
By Jack Brummet, Genre Fiction Ed.
Ass Goblins of Auschwitz, by Cameron Pierce was published in 2009 by Eraserhead Press . This is apparently an example of the Bizarro fiction genre (there are even more twisted Bizarro titles out there).
From the notes on an Amazon.com page:
Ass Goblins of Auschwitz, by Cameron Pierce was published in 2009 by Eraserhead Press . This is apparently an example of the Bizarro fiction genre (there are even more twisted Bizarro titles out there).
From the notes on an Amazon.com page:
"It's Monty Python meets Nazi exploitation in a surreal nightmare as can only be imagined by Bizarro author Cameron Pierce.
"In a land where black snow falls in the shape of swastikas, there exists a nightmarish prison camp known as Auschwitz. It is run by a fascist, flatulent race of aliens called the Ass Goblins, who travel in apple-shaped spaceships to abduct children from the neighboring world of Kidland. Prisoners 999 and 1001 are conjoined twin brothers forced to endure the sadistic tortures of these ass-shaped monsters. To survive, they must eat kid skin and work all day constructing bicycles and sex dolls out of dead children.
"While the Ass Goblins become drunk on cider made from fermented children, the twins plot their escape. But it won't be easy. They must overcome toilet toads, cockrats, ass dolls, and the surgical experiments that are slowly mutating them into goblin-child hybrids.
"Forget everything you know about Auschwitz...you're about to be Shit Slaughtered."

Air Force Project A119 was a plan to detonate a nuclear weapon on the moon
By Jack Brummet, Mad Science Ed.
I recently learned about Project A119, one of the most twisted science projects of all time. A119 was a top secret Air Force plan to explode a nuclear bomb on the moon. . .as a show of force to the Soviets and a morale builder at home.
Check out the story on Wikipedia, here.

Governor Moonbeam endorses HRC
By Jack Brummet, National Affairs Ed.
I was surprised Governor Jerry Brown endorsed Hillary Clinton, with his history of running hard against WJC and all the heavy fire he laid down on Bill. And Hillary too. And then, of course, he didn't endorse him, even the next time. OK, time Marches on and they are burying the hatchet.

Jerry Brown was Bernie Sanders before Bernie Sanders was Bernie Sanders. I'm guessing this all about Donald Trump and the Guv placed his bet. The California race is tighter than a. . .well, you know.

Seattle, suicide hotspot?
Seattle myth: Seattle has the highest suicide rate in the U.S.
Not true. This high suicide rate is commonly blamed on the rain, and S.A.D. (seasonal affective disorder), as well as serotonin deficiencies--caused by lack of sunlight--that lead to depression. In fact, Seattle falls in the bottom half of the top 50 cities. On the other hand, the Aurora Bridge is the second most popular place to commit suicide in the U.S. (behind the Golden Gate Bridge).
The top cities for suicide per capita (including many sunny and warm places):
1 Las Vegas, NV
2 Colorado Springs, CO
3 Tucson, AZ
4 Sacramento, CA
5 Albuquerque, NM

Five things Paul Manafort revealed about Donald Trump yesterday
By Jack Brummet, National Affairs Ed.
Somecrazy insane absurd things Paul Manafort (Donald Trump's campaign manager and chief strategist) said about Donald Trump yesterday in an interview with Howard Fineman (formerly Newsweek, now HuffPo):
The vice presidential pick will be part of the process of proving he’s ready for the White House, Manafort said. “He needs an experienced person to do the part of the job he doesn’t want to do. He seems himself more as the chairman of the board, than even the CEO, let alone the COO.”
Choosing a woman or a member of a minority group to run as vice president, Manafort said, “would be viewed as pandering, I think.”
We shouldn’t expect to ever see Trump’s tax returns.
Trump will be elected president easily. “This is not a hard race,” Manafort said.
“Does he know enough? Yes, because he knows he has more to learn.”

Donald Trump's first dance with the presidency
By Jack Brummet, Election 2016 Ed.
If you do run, Mr. Trump, may we suggest that you sign up your old friend, the Ex-Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, as your running mate? With a double whammy like that, what could possibly go wrong?
"First, The Donald tantalized us earlier this year, and his polling numbers went--briefly--through the roof. Then he dropped out, but left the door open just a crack. Over the last few months, many of the Republican Presidential wannabes have made the trek to his office (for what--money? his blessing?). The Washington Post had a great piece on their blog in early December titled "2012 Republican are kissing Donald Trump's ring. But why?" It seems that Donald Trump, like most of the rest of the American electorate, has found Republican Clown War sorely lacking in substance, in a viable candidate, a rational platform--lacking in just about everything. Now, Trump has switched his political affiliation to "Independent," and is possibly considering running again. At least that is what some staffers and a spokesperson say. No word on how this would affect his reality show, which could be subject to equal time provisions from other candidates if he did decide to run.
From today's Christian Science Monitor:
"Given his not-too-shabby polling numbers, deep pockets, and new-found status as a registered independent, business mogul Donald Trump is in a decent position to launch a third-party run for president of the United States.
"The snark on the street is that Mr. Trump, a temperamental fellow who has toggled his party affiliation before, dumped the Republican Party on Thursday in anger after only two in the large field of GOP presidential candidates agreed to attend a debate he was slated to moderate. Some Republican hopefuls had questioned whether it was ethical for Trump to host a debate while considering a potential presidential run himself.
"A Trump spokesman, however, said his boss dropped out of the debate and changed his party affiliation "to preserve his right to run for president as an independent."
If you do run, Mr. Trump, may we suggest that you sign up your old friend, the Ex-Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, as your running mate? With a double whammy like that, what could possibly go wrong?
