Whenever William Rivers Pitt makes one of his many prognostications, you can bet it will be sure to be wrong. This first came to my attention post-election 2004 when Pitt frequently dispensed with his "insider" information that a certain legal paper was about to be filed in the courthouse of some obscure Ohio county that was sure to overturn the election results. And of course, there was that world famous statement about Karl Rove having already been indicted on May 12, 2006. And if you're wondering what happened to that prediction, then just wait 24 business hours. Most recently, Pitt was in a state of jubilation over Judd Gregg leaving the Senate to become Obama's Commerce secretary because it would mean another Democrat senator. It didn't happen for two reasons. One, the governor of New Hampshire agreed to name a Republican to the senate if Gregg left and, two, because as we learned today, Judd Gregg has decided to remain in the senate. Pitt continues to maintain his track record for perfect error as you can see in his jubilant DUmmie THREAD of January 30 titled, "JUDD GREGG FOR COMMERCE SECRETARY!!!!" So let us now join Pied Piper Pitt as he celebrates the departure of Judd Gregg from the Senate in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, recommending that Bukowski's brew its own Pied Piper beer, is in the [brackets]:
JUDD GREGG FOR COMMERCE SECRETARY!!!!
[Freudenschade, baby!]
If selected and confirmed, Gregg would be the second Republican in Obama's cabinet. Governor John Lynch, a Democrat, would pick Gregg's replacement.
...and the Senate Democratic majority would reach 60. Filibuster done
Gregg for Commerce, yo.
[Yo! Yo! Yo! ...Oh No!!!]
Not such good news if Lynch appoints a seat-warmer Repub.
[Stated Pitt's mumsy, Raven, who has a getaway cabin in New Hampshire for the Pittster to hide out from rightwingers who want to send him to a Walmart detention center.]
You're there. You think he will?
[Asks her little Sonny Boy.]
I honestly don't know. It is hard to read Lynch, he's a strange guy...I think Obama will be calling the shots on this one. Lynch will do what he's told...maybe!
[Maybe you should have spent your time trying to read Judd Gregg, mumsy.]
Who do you have there that would be considered? I know nothing about your state's politics. Any powerful progressive democrats?
[Progressive democrats meaning socialists of course.]
Paul Hodes or Carol Shea Porter. Both dem congresspeople. I think Hodes was thinking about running against Gregg in 2010. Not sure about Porter.
[Plus you weren't even sure about Judd, mumsy dearest.]
Will the Commerce Dept be marginalized in the new administration? As compared to what the Repugs did with the department.
[Asked a DUmmie just before the Obamites announce the removal of the census folks from Commerce to the White House.]
I remember Obama saying it was important for international trade, but not hyping it on the domestic scene, which is why I think he chose Richardson for his international background.
[Huevos Rancheros!]
Damned near a checkmate move, if you look at it closely.
[Pitt's check just got mated.]
Would Charlie Brown rather have Lucy hold the football or not??
[This was a case of Charlie Brown walking home and leaving Lucy to hold that football all night.]
Surely Obama has already calculated & dealt with this scenario.
[All carefully planned in advance. Pied Piper Pitt has assured us this is a perfect plan which can't fail.]
My dad was in Korea, artillery. He was section chief for a battery of 105's.
He would tell me of some of the stuff he'd do that scared the #@*& out of his superiors.
For instance, they would take an empty beer can, "place" it over the end of a shell with a rubber mallet, and use a "church key" to cut holes in the other end. He said that you could hear that shell literally scream from the barrel all the way to the target! Target spotters radioed back wondering what the #@*& kind of shells were they firing!
While in Korea, he reached the rank of sergeant, but got busted back to private after he "busted" a lieutenant. He rose back to sergeant before his tour was up.
Dad was the original prankster.
Maybe THAT'S why you get DiGiorno's so cheap; continued acknowledgment of how badly the Italians got punked until the end of time!
Not Korea but I actually knew a guy who was stationed there when the North Koreans first crossed the DMZ in June 1950 and was among those pushed back into the Pusan perimeter. Pure hell. Nobody could have gotten a North Korean general to surrender while wearing a pair of filthy shorts. BTW, you can figure out what war and where just from that clue.
Even Mtner77 could get a deal like this IF he can make the right connections.
One of my favorite movies, it was a bullet right to the heart. That character was so crazy I had no idea what he was talking about the first time I saw that movie.
The notion that yobamics is playing golf with the dummies’ few remaining brain cells carries a rather awkward twist in that to win, they must miss the target.
Speaking of good deals, I turned down a great deal for Panthers ice hockey tickets for 4 today-—FREE!!! I should have taken them because I’ve never seen ice hockey in person. The guy said I can get some more free tickets in a few weeks. I might take up the offer.
I went to one hockey game live, the Nashville Predators, back in ‘98 or ‘99. I could not follow the dang puck. I had no idea where it was. At least on TV they show that blue streak for hockey morons like me.
Congratulations, you didn’t win concert tickets.
That is a wild movie. Haven’t seen it for years. I always wondered what was in the tank he kept inhaling from. Oxygen? Nitrous?
Ain't that the truth, P-J.
And the oddest thing is, none of us especially solicit the colorful life; it comes to us like iron fillings to magnets.
By the way, I never thought of something until reading this most-excellent edition of the DUmmie FUnnies, as we've always concentrated on those times the Bostonian Drunkard's been wrong, which is too many times to count.
Does anyone recall if the Bostonian Drunkard's ever been right, about anything?
I've run a fine-toothed comb through this brain, coming up dry, but of course I haven't seen everything.
[Freudenschade, baby!]
First one was a corrupt dim governor, now a Republican who disagrees with Hussein. I guess the third time is the charm.
[Maybe you should have spent your time trying to read Judd Gregg, mumsy.]
Paging impeached Gov. Rod Blagojevich, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
[Pitt's check just got mated.]
Checkmated in a few business days.
You CAN NOT tease like this!!
but in the meantime, PJ, don't let the bastards get you down. We love you and I look forward to DUFU everytime I see new posts to me.
LOL !!!
I knew a guy like that when I was in the cops and robbers biz. When he did a car stop on the Las Vegas Freeway, it was always something funny ...i.e. two midgets fighting over the circus fat lady or something.
There's some who go out with definite ideas where they're going, and what they're going to see.
And then there's others who just go out, and go where they may, see what they may.
The latter of course are much more likely to run into colorful people, colorful events, colorful experiences.
I also suspect it’s something to do with attitude - but some folks are just magnets for the weird - zany - what have you.
If I recall correctly: it was supposed to be nitrogen which was Dennis Hopper’s contribution because the original script had it as helium.
You should go. I've been to many Phila. Flyers hockey games. I like watching it more than basketball (too much scoring) and baseball (too slow of pace). Keep your eye on the puck, though. Another thing to do for a while is to just watch the best player on the ice and concentrate on him. Remember what Wayne gretzy said.."I don't skate to where the puck is now, I skate to where I think it's going to be".
Fintan: "Apparently you've never been to Philly."
In both Chicago and Detroit, it is an exclamation to use after a semi-colon as in "Gregg for Commerce; YO!
