Our Annual Empathy Statement

image006As the Old Year comes to an end, The Blower would like to cease and desist from our customary daily political bashing to offer our empathy for all those affected by misfortunes and disasters during the past year. To be hit so hard by circumstances beyond your control is often too much for many people to bear. Who’ll ever forget the wretched sobs of those poor souls bemoaning the loss of their Health Insurance because of ObamaCare? But enough about all those Dumbed-Down, Self-Absorbed, Media-Influenced, Celebrity-Obsessed, Politically-Correct, Uninformed, Short-Attention-Span, Free-Stuff Grabbing, Low-Information Obama Supporters Who Put The Positively Worst President in History In The White House—Twice, And Failed Trying To Give Obama A Third Term By Voting For Hillary, Although Obama Now Ridiculously Claims He Would’ve Won Again, And Get All Of Their Information From Our Obama Supporters In The Press, Like The Ones On Channel 5, 9, 12, And 19, Already!

Our First Prediction for 2017

image007Tired of reading what to expect for the New Year?
Unimpressed by crystal-ball forecasts and psychic predictions?
Couldn’t care less about whose ugly baby was born first?
Bored by lame lists of “who’s in” and “who’s out?”
Turned off by self-righteous editorials dictating resolutions for everyone else to keep?
Repulsed by repetitious recaps of celebrities who died last year and fresh faces for the year ahead?
Unable to invest in all those sure-fire year-end stock market tips?
Sick of suggestions by the same pretentious Tri-staters on how to handle the same issues and challenges in 2017 that they screwed up in 2016?

image009In short, are you over-dosed on all that silly end-of-the-year media hype that serves no purpose except to take up space?

You are? What a freaking coincidence! We asked the Magic Eight Ball, and it predicted you’d say “Yes.”

image010Ode to the New Year

Oh, the New Year’s a’comin’,
It don’t look so hot.
Yes, the New Year’s a’comin’.
Unfortunately I’m not.

From “The Best Loved Poems in the World” by Bunky Tadwell, The Bard of Cleves

Now here’s a picture of Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane giving away free copies of The Blower to some of the less fortunate members of the community during the holidays.

How many of these unfortunates can you identify?image003

Bluegrass Bacchanalia

image012At last year’s New Year’s Eve party, Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo found out three things that were difficult for Michael “Liquid” Plummer to say after he’d had too much to drink at Miss Vicki’s New Year’s Eve party: “Indubitably,” “Preliminary,” and “Nuclear Proliferation.”

A little later, CamBoo found out three more things that are very difficult to say when you’ve had too much to drink: “Specificity,” “Transubstantiate,” and of course, “Antidisestablishmentarianism.”

But by the end of the evening, CamBoozler discovered three things that are downright impossible to say when you’re drunk: “Thanks, but I don’t want to have sex”; “Nope, no more booze for me”; and “Oh, no, I just couldn’t. No one really wants to hear me sing.”

Playtime for Philanderers

image014This week, everybody who chose “Option (D)” on this week’s Web Poll above e-mailed entries to the Whistleblower Limerick Contest.

The winner is our Foreclosed Four-Flushing Philanderer, who says there’s nothing special about New Year’s Eve; it’s is just another opportunity to hit on other guys’ wives.

Our Foreclosed Four-Flusher wins a list of 1,000 married women who like to boink, a list of 1,001 excuses for when he comes home late, a two-hour matinee in the Airport Holiday Inn’s “Cheat Suite” and once again, his name in The Whistleblower. His winning entry is:

This year my New Year’s celebration,
Could be marred by a big complication.
If I start in too early,
With a married lady named Shirley,
The result could be premature ejaculation.
