Our New Year’s Resolution Is To Be Less Sarcastic!
Last week, The Blower published the New Year Year’s Resolutions for some of our local celebrities. They were the real local celebrity New Year’s Resolutions, because any other local celebrity New Year’s resolutions you might have seen published elsewhere were surely fake. Now we know 2015 has hardly begun, but let’s take a look to see how some our resolvers are doing anyway, just for fun.
- JOHN BOEHNER: Hasn’t yet been voted out by Republicans as Speaker of the House after a new poll from Pat Caddell’s organization Caddell Associates showed Republican voters nationwide overwhelmingly want their House representative to elect somebody other than Boehner.
- OBAMA: Trying not to get impeached during the next 748 days.
- DUMBED-DOWN, SELF-ABSORBED, MEDIA-INFLUENCED, CELEBRITY-OBSESSED, POLITICALLY-CORRECT, UNINFORMED, SHORT-ATTENTION-SPAN, FREE-STUFF GRABBING, LOW-INFORMATION OBAMA SUPPORTERS WHO PUT HIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE—TWICE: Not even worried about how much ObamaCare is going to cost them in 2015.

Thanks to Newt Gingrich and his “Contract with America,” the Republican Party won majority control of Congress for the first time in forty years. And with the RINOs we have running the party these days, we’re waiting to see if it’ll be at least another 40 years of Wandering in the Wilderness with the GOP taking control of both Houses of Congress next week.

Seediest Kids of All
The Mikey Brown Story
Today’s Seediest Kid of All is Poor Little Mikey Brown, a portly pantload from Indian Hill, who wanted to win the Punt, Pass, and Kick Competition to please his dad, who was a real football fanatic. Poor Little Mikey dreamed of standing at mid-field during halftime, where a stadium full of fans would cheer him, and everybody else at home would see him on TV.
So the Seediest Kids of All sent over some professional football coaches, who taught him everything they knew.
Unfortunately, at the Punt, Pass, and Kick Competition, Poor Little Mikey’s punt went a total of six yards, he fumbled the ball attempting to pass, and he tripped over the tee when he tried to kick the ball. On second thought, maybe we shouldn’t have sent over the Bungals coaching staff. At least he didn’t embarrass himself in front of a stadium full of people, since the stands were empty, and since it was a Bungals home playoff game, nobody saw it at home because as usual, because the game was blacked out on TV.
The Brown family called to express their gratitude to for all our help, but it’s really you they have to thank, because it’s your guilt and over-taxed payer dollars throughout the year which make it all possible.

“So Now You Know” by James Jay Schifrin
At last, we now know where we stand. The tension and uncertainty have passed.
For weeks, the public has been gripped by the agony of not knowing. Finally, we can all breathe a sigh of relief.
Americans have always been optimistic. Crisis has always brought us closer together, to foster a feeling of solidarity. Now everywhere you go, you can’t help notice our pride.
Until now, the speculation has been endless. Study groups have been appointed. Think tanks and computers have advised us about the probabilities and our strategic options.
We’ve seen high-level press conferencced and briefings, commentary, updates, and special reportsm along with analysis by anchorpersons, informed opinions from insider sources, and film to document the hostilities direct from the scenes.
We’ve been bombarded by headlines from far-off places, names of which most of us will never be able to spell or pronounce, let alone ever visit. Peopl whose destinies are no longer in their own hands have become as familiar as members of our own families.
The outcome of these world-shaking events is still anybody’s guess, but in these troubled times, we can at least be consoled that we now have a better idea of what we’re up against.
All of the “wild card” teams have been selected, and the Bengals will enjoy the “home field advantage” as long as they’re in the playoffs.
