Hey Hollywood Elite, # NeverTrumpers and Snowflakes United: are you boycotting the Inauguration? Need an “Inaugural Survival Guide?” Then I’ve got just the place for you; come to the Sundance Film Festival in Park City! I promise you’ll feel at home and will be entertained with all the politically correct and anti-American movies you can stomach. The inauguration of President-Elect Donald Trump is January 20, 2017 — which is also the first full day of the Sundance Film Festival. That’s already inspired multiple festival attendees to discuss how they might arrange marches or protests, and now the festival has gone...

I’m hitting the road today, so this officially begins the Christmas celebration of 2016. I’m kicking it off with Joni’s accidental Christmas song that was a big hit last year: It was originally released in 1971 on the appropriately named album, Blue, and never really intended as a Christmas song. It's become a staple because nearly everyone of a certain age is apt to "feel a little blue around the holidays," as my Mother used to put it in her understated way. Even if you otherwise love Christmas and all its attendant traditions the march of time and circumstance inevitably...

Who took the “news” out of newspaper, news report and news coverage?Let’s look no further than just last Friday as demonstration of this sad state of affairs. Early Friday morning when Christiane Amonpour finally processed the results of the Brexit vote to “LEAVE”  she released a  venomous attack and condemnation of those who led and voted for Brexit. Not only did she blur the line between reporting and commentary, she veered into the advocacy lane and steered right into proselytizing. CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR: So, this is a moment of destiny that many, many people, the overwhelming, the overwhelming preponderance of experts...

Our Lady of Perpetual Grievances “But by the time I began to attend school I started to encounter people with less faith in my abilities to reach my goals. People who didn’t think I was smart enough and would call on the boys instead of the girls, even though the girls had better grades. Asking my brother what career plan he had, but me what kind of man I wanted to marry.” – Mail On Line And do tell, Our Lady, what was your answer - what kind of man did you want to marry?A community organizer? Community Organizer: a...

Yes, I watched the Super Bowl start to finish. I had no dog in the fight butt was rooting for the Broncos, against all odds, just because I’d like to see Peyton hang up his cleats before he breaks his neck again. So yay! I’m happy; apologies to all the Panther fans out there.A few random observations on the annual pre-Mardi Gras American Bacchanalia: I did not see one - not one - commercial worthy of mention. What has happened to America’s creative class? Are all the copywriters members of the disaffected Millennial generation? Most of the spots were supposed...

Ah, it’s good to be King Queen (is that sexist?)“We learned today, from her attorney, Secretary Clinton unilaterally decided to wipe her server clean and permanently delete all emails from her personal server,” he continued. “While it is not clear precisely when Secretary Clinton decided to permanently delete all emails from her server, it appears she made the decision after October 28, 2014, when the Department of State for the first time asked the Secretary to return her public record to the Department.” National Review Unfortunately, her emails were under subpoena at the time, so this could pose a...

On this day in history in 1923, U.S. Patent Office granted Patent No. 1,475,074 to Garrett Morgan for the 3-way traffic light. While traffic lights were in use before Morgan’s invention his was the first to include the cautionary yellow light, signaling drivers to slow down and stop.This innovation has prevented countless accidents since its inception. However, there will always be a handful of people who think the yellow light means that everybody else should slow down so they can speed up and sail through the intersection unassailed from either direction. Barry Soetoro has always been one of those people.Which is...

"But make no mistake: these policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them."Can we suck these eggs any harder?Today is your 4 week warning, people: the midterms are on November 4th. In order to assist you with your decisions I was going to recap all of Big Guy’s achievements during his first 3 historic quarters of play.Butt I see that Don Surber has already done that for us: nearly a trillion dollar stimulus that didn’t stimulate, a Cash for Clunkers program that was a clunker, Solyndra Solar which sunset shortly after the loan was gone, Obamacare – need...

Question: What’s the difference between fine wine,Laura poses with India the catand a fine whiner?Grumpy Cat get’s her bangs onAnswer: one enhances anything it is served with, the other, well, what’s the opposite of “enhances”? Laura Bush: In a sneak-peek for a special “First Ladies” interview with C-SPAN, former First Lady Laura Bush responds to a question about whether or not the president’s spouse should get a salary. She replies that she doesn’t “think so,” because “there are plenty of perks.” Lady M: About life in the White House: “Don’t ask! It’s hell. I can’t stand it!”About a 9-11 ceremony: “All...

Let the record reflect that, having concluded that passing the bill in order to find out what’s in the bill is no longer optimal, the socialist Senator from Vermont has initiated a new set of Democratic rules for passing legislation: “Some of us are old-fashioned enough to know that maybe folks in the Senate might want to know what is in the bill before we voted on it.” “But before we vote on legislation, it might be a good idea to understand the full implications of that legislation.” Apparently too many senators are still busy trying to find out what’s...

We’ve put on a full court press: a White House generated ad campaign to get the young invincibles – who we need more than they need us - to sign up for Obamacare before the March 31 deadline. So we tried everything: PJ Boy, a dunking FLOTUS, Mom dancers, twerking accidents, Muppet accidents…the list goes on and on – butt stops with…cat GIFs? Cat GIFs, for crying outloud?Great, just what we need around here: cat house and pussy jokes to go along with the bathhouse innuendos.Butt with the deadline fast approaching, I’d like to be the first to go on...

It’s Friday again. Already. And because we’re all weary of the week’s *wretch-ed* news we’re going to do something different today. Since I was unable to attend the Second Annual Friends of MOTUS Flyover Fest ™(FFF) in Galveston last month, they sent me a commemorative goodie bag just like the one given to all the lucky attendees. My bag finally arrived (compliments of the US Postal service) so I’m taking the opportunity to catalogue all the swag contained therein.First (and long gone), RobinH made professional, homemade sugar cookies shaped like sandcastles, complete with a flag flying atop! At first I...

President Obama used the 2012 World Series-winning San Francisco Giants as his backdrop late Monday to call on baseball fans to eat vegan at games and for stadiums to offer kale, eggplant and strawberries. ...., calling it something "close to first lady Michelle Obama's heart — encouraging healthy eating." But Obama isn't demanding an all-vegan diet at the park. "Even Michelle would say it's okay to have a hotdog once in awhile, though. I don't want everybody to get carried away and think they have to have kale every time they go to the ballpark."

Dear MO(Y)Ls, MO(Y)Ds, and FOMs, It is time for MOTUS to take a bit of a break. Not totally; I’m not going completely dark (can I say that?) butt I do need to “reinvent” myself. (snip)while I won’t be giving up my MOTUS responsibilities entirely, I do need to spend some time figuring out how best to monetize my current position while I – as Roger Simon put it – “still have some ability to do it.” So for the near future I’ll be downsizing the girth of my daily post (following Lady M’s guidelines and helpful hints) to allow...

For whatever reason, irony has been worshipped by the illuminati for decades now. Possibly because the Hollywood and New York Times intellectuals often tend to confuse cleverness with intelligence; wittiness with wisdom. Nevertheless, irony continues to entertain the demographic we’re going after so Big Guy’s WTF 2012 campaign has decided to stick to that path. So here, as part of my weekend review, are a few contributions from loyal staffers to “Buh-rock’s Big Black Book of Irony.”

By now I’m sure you know that our WTF-2012 Campaign is in high gear. We were reminded at the staff meeting this morning that all senior Team-Obama staff are expected to get some skin in the game. Since I never got that raise Big Guy promised and I sure don’t know enough people with enough money to be a bundler, I had to find another way to get into the game.

I have managed to get you a special director’s cut of MO’s competition with Jimmy that tells the behind the scenes story of this historic event:

Karl Lagerfeld says: "So I want Mr. Obama who I think is very okay— because there is nothing better anyway — [to be re-elected], especially because of her." Karl Loves the Wons

Infiltration of the federal government by members of the radical Muslim Brotherhood is worse than some have warned recently, says a former FBI special agent in Washington. The agent confirmed that at least three operatives of the Egypt-based Brotherhood – whose credo is "Jihad is our way and death in the cause of Allah is our dream" – have penetrated the Obama administration. The shocking charge was first leveled by Muslim reformer Tarek Fatah during a recent speech in Toronto. "Today in the White House, there are three members of the Muslim Brotherhood that influence Obama's policy," he told the...

The Michelle Obama's Mirror's Blog (MOTUS) broke a story last night about Newsweek "photoshopping" the image of someone, Karl Marx, The Shroud of Turin, or ZZ Top, onto an apple sitting in front of Michelle Obama on the cover of its 3-15-2010 issue. Shortly after the post, Newsweek "cropped" the cover on its site and is rumored to be firing someone today. MOTUS still has the cover posted here: http://www.michellesmirror.com/2010/03/is-this-easter-miracle.html it's really unbelievable.
