Trying to Collect Breitbart's $10,000

The scientists and researchers in our secret basement laboratory have been working overtime in taking up Andrew Breibart's challenge to prove that those nasty Conservative tea-bagger racist sexist homophobic xenophobic haters spat upon and hurled racial epithets at members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

We think we've found a legitimate variation of it:


The guy with the boom box was playing Snoop Dogg and NWA rap CD's laced with racial epithets and although that little tea-bagging statue didn't spit at the group, urine is just as bad.

Pay up, Andrew.

Stacy McCain Interviews Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Stacy McCain continues to run amok throughout the American Southwest. After attending the Tea Party just outside Las Vegas, Nevada, Stacy delayed his flight back East to snoop around in Arizona and spend some time with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

But I don't think that this is what Stacy had in mind:

Is The TrogloPundit Up to Something?

Lance has been blogging up a storm over there. He's got something up his sleeve. I just know it.

Honest! I Did Not Knowingly Plagiarize These Headlines

Here's how the MSM reports items like this:
Nazi Teabagging Buses Driven by Andrew Breitbart Attack Food Pantry For the Poor.

Today's Breakfast Had to Be Cancelled
Women, Children, and Minorities Hardest Hit

History Repeats Itself

See, the Doom & Gloom Has Not Come to Pass.

University of Iowa Field House, Iowa City, Iowa, March, 2010
[...] Leaders of the Republican Party, they called the passage of this bill “Armageddon.” (Laughter.)  Armageddon. “End of freedom as we know it.”

So after I signed the bill, I looked around to see if there any -- (laughter) -- asteroids falling or -- (applause) -- some cracks opening up in the Earth. (Laughter.) It turned out it was a nice day. (Laughter.) Birds were chirping. Folks were strolling down the Mall.[...]
The Bunker, Berlin, Germany, March, 1945
[...]The Allies, they called the rise of the Third Reich 'Armageddon.' (Nervous titter) Armageddon. 'The end of civilization as we know it.'

So after I signed the order to fix the Jewish problem, I looked around the see if there were any --(Nervous titter)-- asteroids falling or --(fidgety clapping)-- some cracks opening up in the Earth. (Nervous giggles) It turned out it was a nice day. (Nervous titters with ducking) A rain storm's thunder announces the life-giving rain's approach. Crickets were chirping. Folks were healthfully jogging in the streets. [...]

Wisconsin Badgers' Win Tonight Sends Them to Final Four

With a victory in the West Regional Finals tonight the Wisconsin Badgers will head to the NCAA Tournament Frozen Four next week.

While most of the nation will have their eyes on collegiate basketball, a game akin to Ice Dancing or Figure Skating, the real men will play hockey.


Go Bucky!

UPDATE: Wisconsin wins 5-3. On to the Frozen Four!

Ambushing Gator Doug

Gator Doug is taking the day off from blogging today, but he did take time to post a few pictures for us readers to enjoy. He introduces us to his new niece and offers his great desire to 'get her some Gators gear.'

But I would like to ambush the Gator and express my desires for the beautiful young lass:

ObamaCare Passage Threatens Bambi

Reuters:
Farm equipment maker Deere expects after-tax expenses to rise by $150 million this year as a result of the health care reform law President Barack Obama signed this week. [...]

Caterpillar said on Wednesday it would take a $100 million after-tax charge to earnings in the first quarter because the new law will lower its tax deductions. [...]

The law could raise expenses for large U.S. employers. Industrial companies, which typically have large numbers of retirees, may be among those facing the biggest bill. Caterpillar had argued before the legislation passed that health reform would put it at a disadvantage against global competitors.
However, Barack 'The Great & Compassionate One' Obama has offered helpful suggestions to corporations like John Deere to keep them viable and competitive with the other industrializing third world economies.

After listening to the strategic advice from the President, John Deere announced the 2011 line of Deere farm equipment:

The Other McCain's Negotiations with the State of Nevada

After weeks of heavy negotiations with the state of Nevada, Stacy McCain will be allowed into the state to attend the Tea Party Express stop in the small town of Searchlight. Law enforcement presence will be heavy. Most spin that this brigade sized police attendance is due to traffic control, but insiders know it is really necessary to control the expected antics and instigations of McCain.

McCain was required but one concession before being allowed into Nevada:

Stupak Earns Honors

Despite all the slams from the racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, bigoted, gun-loving, religious Conservatives, Michigan's First District U.S. Representative Bart Stupak has earned some major support and kudos from around the world:

-Hallmark subsidiary, Crayola, has announced the development of a new shade of yellow for their markers and crayons. It has been dubbed 'Yooper Assassin Yellow.'

-The Liars Club has placed Rep. Stupak in their annual Liars of the Year semi-finals. He will be competing with President Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi in the Spinning Whoppers Yarn Contest.

-The National 'Talk Like a Yooper' Day committee has changed the name of the day to 'Flip-flop Like a Cheap Yooper Whore' Day.

-The nation of France, slack-jawed with awe, have proclaimed Bart Stupak an honorary citizen and honored him with National Hero status:


UPDATE: It appears that Bart Stupak's home in Menominee, MI, and his office in Washington is being deluged with mail mostly from Michiganders, especially those in Michigan's first district. Each piece of opened mail has contained this bumper sticker:


All he has to do is cross the Menominee River and he will be in Marinette, WI.

However, we patriotic Badgers are fighting back:

Pelosi In Prayer


"O Holy Saint Joseph,

Please pray for us to pass ObamessiahCare so that we may mercifully and compassionately rip unwanted babies to pieces, burn their skin off with saline, or pith the spinal cords and suck their brains out while they are being born. All at taxpayer expense, of course.

If the Romans in Bible times had had ObamessiahCare, the impoverished Mary wouldn't have been forced to carry her unwanted bastard child to full term. The aborted baby Jesus wouldn't have had to suffer being despised and rejected by men. He wouldn't have become a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering. Fetus Jesus wouldn't have to endure being stricken by God, smitten, afflicted, pierced, crushed, and otherwise wounded. He wouldn't have suffered the slaughter of crucifixion.

Jesus did not grow to make much money to be rich so that he could be properly taxed so he was also pretty much useless to the rest of humanity anyway.

Saint Joseph, please help us in this very Christian cause.

This we pray in Obama's name.

Amen"

Dreams From My Father

"Like a spy behind enemy lines,..."

I had my own office, my own secretary, money in the bank... I would catch my reflection in the elevator doors-see myself in a suit and tie, a briefcase in my hand-and for a split second I would imagine myself as a captain of industry, barking out orders, closing the deal, before I remembered who it was that I had told myself I wanted to be and felt pangs of guilt for my lack of resolve... I felt the idea of becoming an organizer slipping away from me.
From whom shall I seek wisdom?

Barack, I am your father.

Negotiations Aboard Air Force One

I expect that many may be wondering what happened on Air Force One when Dennis Kucinich was invited aboard for about an hour. Kucinich had vowed a No vote on ObamaCare, but after the visit with the President, he changed into a Yes vote.

We now know what happened on board Air Force One:

The President's Strong-Arm Push Has Reached New Lows

President Obama reached deeply into his bag of tricks today to pressure nay-saying and fence-sitting Democrat Congressmen to vote for ObamaCare. Insiders, who wish to remain anonymous, told me that behind closed doors, the President threatened to spend much time in their districts and to campaign heavily for for their re-election if they opted to vote no on his health care plan.

Lance's St. Patrick's Day Celebration

Lance staggered home very late after an  evening celebrating St. Patrick's Eve with his drinking buddy, Todd.   He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Mari Jo.

He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step.   As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily upon his buttocks.   A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful. 


Stifling a scream, Lance sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding.   He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood.

He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed.

In the morning, Lance woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt with Mari Jo staring at him from across the room.

She said, 'You were drunk again last night weren't you?'


Lance said, 'Why you say such a mean thing?'

'Well,' Mari Jo said, 'it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly ...... it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror.'

I Have Been Warned

I have heard the warning and I am afraid, very afraid.

But between that and the voices in my head, I know not what to do.

Observation of the Day

David Stokes quotes a character named Sheldon from the sitcom 'The Big Bang Theory' and applies it to the Obamagenda:
"...involves a river of excrement and a Native American water vessel without any means of propulsion.”
(H.T. John Ray.)

Is No Sheeples Schizophrenic?

As the NCAA Tournament March Madness rapidly approaches the hopes of 65 different college and university fans reach a fever pitch. Spring is nigh and these hopes spring forth as the green shoots of the dormant wintering plants stretch for the warm sunlight. Flip-flop season is upon us again.

Flip-flop. Besides the generic name for casual human footwear, it also provides a description of some human statements and actions. This year's March Madness illustrates this 'about face.'

During the college football season, Carol No Sheeples was a rabid Alabama Crimson Tide fan. Rabid, I tell ya. But, now that NCAA basketball is reaching its climactic conclusion, Carol has thrown the Tide under the bus and is a rabid Duke Blue Devils fan. A flip-flop of maddening proportions, I tell ya.

Janesville, WI, Coffee Party a Knockout

But NO MSM Reporting

Just because we are small town fly-over country, journalists often overlook the world changing events that occur here in Janesville.

But I will report, you decide.


Local U.S. Representative Paul Ryan was invited, but was afraid to show. I guess he just doesn't want to make a difference... for the children.

UPDATE: My bad! Big Media did pick up the story!

Wisconsin Rule 5 Badgers

Carol of No Sheeples Here has suggested a March Madness Sweater Puppy Rule 5 Contest in the spirit of Stacy McCain's Rules. She has goaded me out of the secret basement laboratory to participate. No problem. I'm just the chief administrator of the lab and not a scientist or researcher.

Since Bob Belvedere's Rule 5 Compliance Committee has been selected a judge(s), I decided this would be a good entry:

Special Offer From Grandpa John's Secret Laboratory

As the readers of Grandpa John's are fully aware, we are dedicated servants to truth, justice, and the American way. We are constantly looking for ways to better assist the unwashed masses in speaking truth to usurped and unconstitutional power.

The rise of the Tea Party movement has given us a unique opportunity to service the needs of Conservative and Libertarian protesters. The scientists in our secret basement laboratory have developed a valuable tool for use during these protests.

Introducing the new 'Grandpa John's Combination Pitchfork & Torch:

The new GJP&T will free up Tea-Baggers' hands to use a cell phone, take a picture, text, live-blog, change a diaper, or use a megaphone and not have to put down their torch or fork and continue on their march without missing a step.

We know we are on the right track because the GJP&T is already the subject of legislative discussion concerning registration and Brady-esque limitations. The Department of Homeland Security wants to list all owners on its list of potential terrorists.

The GJP&T would make a great Easter gift in that it symbolizes something that was thought to be dead but now is rising again.

(The GJP&T uses green technology. Its hollowed out handle is fitted for low CO2-emitting propane and is refillable.)

America's Secret Olympic Weapon

The Russian Federation has been in an uproar over their lack of medals earned at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. Surprisingly, the they chose not blame this poor Olympic showing on global warming. Their alternate reasoning was at least as complex, however. The blame lay on the evil two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun:
On March 3, a handful of activists from Zdravmol, a youth organization and a joint project of the Federal Agency for Youth Policy and the obstreperous youth movement Nashi, gathered in front of a Moscow McDonald’s and chanted: “Thank you, McDonald’s, for our 11th ranking.” They were venting their anger at one of Russia’s poorest medal tallies ever at a Winter Olympics – only three golds at the Vancouver games.

This Russian figure skating pair does lend some credence to the claim:


Meanwhile, in the U.S., Ronald McDonald is awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for his part in America's excellent Olympic showing:

Chris Matthews Must Read Grandpa John's

Toward the end of the following discussion with Paul Ryan, Chris Matthews observes, "Well, you got a heck of a constituency out there in Wisconsin. They must all have PhD's in Economics, because they do understand the problem."

Thank you, Chris, but I don't have a PhD in Economics. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once and actually have read a book.

Wisconsin's Signs of Spring

The swallows return to San Juan Capistrano and the buzzards return to Hinckley, Ohio, but around here things are a little different.

"Hey, something green!"

"And the flies return to Wisconsin!"

"Now we can test the systems we have been working on all winter to help us stave off cabin fever!"
"Boo-yah! 7 feet 5-1/2 inches!"

"Those .38 cal. marshmallow slugs I have been working on are a big success!"
