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.”

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.

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!

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.

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.

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,

Liquid Lunch: Migraine Round 2

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!

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:

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.

Weekly Roundup: The CPAC Edition

by Sandra Neish

Since we didn’t devote much (any) article space to CPAC, I thought our Weekly Roundup should cover it.  Oh, and it’s all VIDEOS, so click more for some great entertainment!

American Death Shot

by Sandra Neish

Here’s your SHOT for Saturday!  And as it looks like health care in America is just about dead, I thought this would be a good shot.

INGREDIENTS:

  • Aftershock
  • Crème de Menthe liqueur
  • Goldschlager

DIRECTIONS:

Pour into shot glass in order listed.  Toast to the death of health care.  Drink until you don’t really give a shit anymore.  Prank call your congressman as his doctor telling him his health insurance has been declined and he owes you $500,000.

Liquid Lunch: The Obama “Trap” Edition

by Sandra Neish

Will using budget reconciliation really give us health reform?  Or is this more Republicanizing of what we need?  Will there actually be health care?  President Obama has come up with his own plan.  (Crooks and Liars)RC2TY2WASWXH

And of course, Stephen Colbert brings us up-to-date on Republicans’ Political Suicide and the “Obama trap.”  (The Colbert Report)

Jon Stewart discusses the “Apparent Trap” as well!  (The Daily Show)

by Sandra Neish

Here’s what’s going on in the world, Bar Flies!

Awww, the poor wittle Chinese people have their wittle feewings hurt by the Dalai Lama!  Really?  That’s like being offended by Mother Teresa!  Get over it, China!  (HuffPost)

Fingers crossed that Niger have a democracy in spite of the military coup.  (BBC News)

Does Haiti really need more shit happening to it?  Rainy season could further destroy the island nation.  (NPR)
