I <3 NY Rep Anthony Weiner

by Sandra Neish

This is NY Representative Anthony Weiner.  He is absolutely amazing!

I have nothing to add.  (Except I really love this guy and he can stay in office).

Investigation Uterus: How the GOP Wants to Peek in Your Lady-Parts

by Sandra Neish

If the police are looking at a uterus, it better be on an autopsy table.

This has been all over the blogosphere before finally breaking into something more mainstream (Jason Linkins over at HuffPo).  People, you best pay attention!

Some schmuck down in Georgia (schmuck = Georgia state rep Bobby Franklin) had the brain fartiest brain fart of them all:  let’s rip the US Constitution completely asunder, ignore an individual’s right to be secure in their person and send women to ride Old Sparky for having a miscarriage if the state determines it was her “fault.”   read more »

Libya! Who cares? We’ve got GAS PRICES!

by Sandra Neish

The Libyan crisis is approaching genocide. Gaddafi declared his intent to fight to his “last drop of blood.” Close to 300 people have been killed protesting his dictatorship. He is ready to have his mercenaries butcher his own people in order to prop up his corrupt, evil regime.

Many overuse the word “evil.” This time, it is well warranted. Any leader who would rather wipe out his own people/country in order to stay in a position of power is not a leader. He is evil and weak. He is a despot and, frankly, an asshole.

It doesn’t shock me or many who follow international news, especially news in Northern Africa, that Gaddafi’s idea of crowd control involves bullets not barricades.

Welcome to 2011

by Sandra Neish

Wow, 2011, Bar Flies.

A lot has happened since we last posted.  We here at The Drunk Report have been involved in our own personal lives and haven’t been looking too far past the ends of our noses.

So, we’re starting 2011 now.  At the end of February, but as most of you didn’t wake up from your Christmas hangover  until New Years and your New Years hangover until Valentine’s Day, I’m pretty sure you’re only just waking up to the internet today and going “Shit, it’s 2011!”

Welcome to our world. read more »

Open Letter to the Conservative Movement

by Sandra Neish

(The following only applies to those members of the listed groups who proclaim they want freedom and lower taxes, dammit, but are obviously full of crap – we’re looking at you, Sarah Palin).

Dear Republican Party, Tea Party and Self-Identified Conservatives:

We HEAR you.  Trust us, you are yelling and screaming at the top of your voices and you are heard.  We know, we know, you don’t believe us.  Here, proof:

  • You want LOWER TAXES!
  • You want SMALLER GOVERNMENT!
  • You want DECREASED GOVERNMENT SPENDING!
  • And you want it NOW, DAMMIT! read more »

Dear Mr. President: Grow a Pair!

by Sandra Neish

Dear President Obama:

We here at The Drunk Report were enthusiastic when John McCain did not win the presidency, which is not to say we were your strongest supporters.  We were just really, really glad Sarah Palin was not one heart attack away from the presidency.  Also, McCain started pandering to the Christianists (who are one home-made, strap-on bomb away from Islamists), and we aren’t fans.

Then, we thought we’d see what you could do.  We realized you weren’t George W. “Dubya” Bush and were more thankful than you could possibly imagine.  So, we waited. read more »

The Commercialization of Politics

by Sandra Neish

Mad Men should be set in the halls of Congress.  After all, no advertisers are better than those who pimp politics.  Architects of campaigns come in the shape and guise of advisers, public relations gurus and, lest we forget, entertainment political commentators.

America is a commercial society.  A single ad run during the Super Bowl costs an outlandish amount of money and could potentially influence millions.  Next time your favorite prime-time television show comes on, look closely at the commercials.  They try to convince you that you have a need for their product or service.  Don’t forget to look at the program itself.  Companies also pay to have their products placed within a show. read more »

Working our way back…

by Sandra Neish

Sorry for the long delay in posting, dear Bar Flies.

I’ve been sick in the worst way for the past month and am only beginning to be on the mend.

We have lots to discuss…priests, Goldman Sachs, health care, Obama, Tea Baggers, et cetera.

Trust…we’ve got it covered.  Your drunkety drunk-drunk bar-keeps are on the mend and will be giving you the exclusive scoop of everything through the martini glass in the very near future.

And by “very near future,” I mean starting next week.  Gotta find out when Jack is emerging from his birthday haze, but other than that, we’ll be back in the cocktail shaker ASAP!  Well, ASAP = post weekend, but you know what we mean.

Lots of Love & Drinks,

Out of Commission

by Sandra Neish

Dear Bar Flies,

Unfortunately, the American healthcare system is failing yours truly and Jack Manhattan at the moment, so this week we will be out of commission.

Please peruse the archives and comment freely.

Thank you for your understanding.

Stay drunk,

Start over, are you SERIOUS?

by Harvey Wallbanger

For seven and a half hours yesterday, our elected officials got together to see if they could hash out a compromise to the health care debate. Yet, at the end of those seven hours, they walked away with nothing. We have not moved forward one inch since this all began LAST summer, and to tell you the truth, dear Bar Flies, I’m done with compromise. I’m done playing nice and hoping that logical thought will prevail.

Imagine you are a runner, and you’re running a marathon. You get to the half-way point and look down at your watch and see you are off your pace. What do you do? read more »

EU Economic Crisis is the True Test

by Jack Manhattan

This week we watched as the EU’s banking practices are being tested. The crisis in Greece, an EU member state, has highlighted the consequences of a unified European economy. Each member state fights tooth and nail to keep as much sovereignty as possible, while pointing the finger at other member states about their lack of international cooperation. I am particularly prejudiced against the Germans, just because they have proven themselves to be mass murdering fuckheads. But I like Angela Merkle. She is a hardcore bitch (in every good sense of the word, and if you do not know what that means, find you a fag quickly and he will explain it), and takes no shit from anyone.

Liquid Lunch: Migraine Round 2

by Sandra Neish

Technically, I’m not sure which round I’m on with this migraine, but it’s going Mike Tyson on me!  I’m not sure the damned thing isn’t gonna bite my head off in a minute!

Anyway – today’s Liquid Lunch is about Tequila Whisperer and the LIVE show tonight!

There’s a new link to it, Bar Flies, so make sure you update and watch!

Patience is a Virtue, And I Lost Mine A Long Time Ago…

by Jack Manhattan

 

We are, slowly, moving forward. We are, slowly, moving the movement forward. But, there are still hurtles to overcome. Unfortunately, the greatest hurtle to overcome seems to be the largest gay lobby group, The Human Rights Campaign. HRC, for years, has taken the lead in pushing for gay rights. They now, sadly, stand behind the President. I say sadly because President Obama talks a good game, and it got him elected. He has yet to actually DO anything on the issue of gay rights.

Liquid Lunch: The Migraine Edition

by Sandra Neish

This Cat has a major headache!  Which is why we didn’t have up one of those super-cool vids from Tequila Whisperer…sorry, guys, but until my meds kick in, Jack’s filling in!

So, for Liquid Lunch, I updated the site so we could have stream-lined and drunkety-drunk-drunk-DRUNK all at the same time!

Let us know what you think!

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs…GOP FAIL!

by Sandra Neish

I did a little happy dance when I read that the GOP filibuster of the jobs bill got stamped with a giant FAIL notice.  It was heartening to see that not all Republicans are willing to toe the party line and screw over America just to further some nitwit political agenda.

All I gotta say now is:  it’s about damned time!  Grab your tequila shots and take one for the following Republicans who stood up to obstructionist politics: read more »

Liquid Lunch: The STFU Edition

by Sandra Neish

Since it felt really good to tell Dick Cheney to stuff it this morning, I thought I’d continue the trend into Liquid Lunch!  Feel free to jump on the bandwagon and post comments about those you would like to tell to STFU.  Consider this an open post!

STFU, Faux Noise!  Health care is a big deal!  Jobs aren’t going to materialize because you talk about them or pass legislation and unemployed people don’t have insurance and employed people get charged out the ass for insurance!  So quit scaring people about something that is a GOOD THING!  And last I checked, the Republicans have NO PLAN for either issue!  Why don’t you scare people about those arrogant fuck-tards not knowing how to do anything but yell “NO!” like children?  (Faux Noise)

STFU, House Minority Leader John Boehner!  See above for – YOU DON’T HAVE ANY PLANS OF YOUR OWN!  Why are you idiot Republicans not coming to the table with ANYTHING?  Seriously?  And if you can’t come up with a better plan that doesn’t pander to your financial backers, then shut the fuck up and let the big boys and girls do the business of the nation!  (HuffPost)

STFU, Sarah Palin!  You talk about “death panels,” yet your grandson has socialized medicine!  Could you be a bigger hypocrite?  (HuffPost)

…like I said before, feel free to tell more people to STFU!  You’ll feel better!  Comment away, Bar Flies!!

Dick Cheney Needs To STFU!

by Sandra Neish

Jack has had to deal with the evil known as Comcast (or Comcrap, as we like to call them), so I will be delivering the Monday rant.

Everybody and their mama over at CPAC creamed their pants over Dick Cheney showing up.  I’ve never heard cries of “run, Dick, run!” before, but to those of you who were around when Nixon (the first Tricky Dick) ran, it’s old hat.  Personally, I wouldn’t scream “run, Dick, run!” at Cheney if, say, some old geezer he was duck hunting with pointed a shotgun at his face.  I may point and laugh afterward, but that’s just me. read more »
