7 "Flush" Slush and the POP Awards
61Quiet, Please!
Good morning breakfastpoppers. Today is Tuesday, February 2, 2010 and it is, once again, time for the POP Awards. As is our custom, we will prepare a very liquid breakfast and head for the theater. Today's breakfast choice is a 7 Flush Slush. It is quite simple to prepare. All you need is 1.5 ounces of Seagrams 7 and 3 ounces of cola. Find a highball glass, combine both ingredients, add crushed ice and stir. Let's get over to the theater and start the show. I'll bring some hot pretzels and mustard.
Welcome, everyone to the 23rd Weekly POP Award presentation. We have an interesting line-up of suspects today, so let's begin. Our first "winner" is none other than Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Speaker, your name was put before the committee by the distinguished and beloved breakfastpopper 50 Caliber. I am going to ask 50 Caliber to escort you to the stage and hand you your award. Do not be alarmed by the dogs by his side or the shotgun in his hand. That's just his way and quite frankly, I think it is in everyone's interests that he arm himself. After all, you are not that easy to get along with. Madame Speaker, 50 Caliber has informed the committee that you want to freeze defense spending for three long years. Perhaps you have forgotten that we are engaged in two wars at the moment. It could be that all that botox has affected your brain. In any case, here's your POP and don't worry, 50 Caliber will help you find your seat and make sure you stay put. Thank you 50 Caliber, you are a scholar and a gentlemen.
Our next "winner" is a repeat recipient who is well on his way to the coveted "Lifetime Achievement Award". Will Chris Matthews please come up to the stage? I am quite sure you know the way. Clearly, the tingle is back running up and down your leg. It seems that just after the President finished his State of the Union Address you got all misty eyed and said these immortal words, "I forgot the President was black. He is post racial by all appearances." I am not even going to try and guess what you meant by that inane remark, but I'm sure you have earned this POP. You can leave the stage now, your tingly leg must be bothering you.
Our third "winner" has a lot in common with Chris Matthews. Her legs don't tingle but she does tear up. Will CNN's Carol Costello please come up to the stage? You were on television reminiscing about President Obama's inauguration and how, at the time, the hearts of millions of Americans were ready to burst with a Woodstock "kind of love." Pardon me for a moment while I wipe my eyes and blow my nose. Are we to interpret your words to mean that all those who were so blown away by the Obama mystique were under the influence of mind-altering drugs when they pushed the lever? It could go along way to explain why he was elected despite a whole lot of evidence that he and his pals were anti-American and could hardly wait to transform our country. Oh well, Carol, what's done is done. Take this box of tissues and return to your seat. Try not to sing "We Are The World" on your way down the aisle.
Our fourth recipient is the New York Times, another contender for a Lifetime award. Will a representative from the paper come to the stage, please? Let's get to the point immediately. Your group has earned this POP for jumping on the arrest of conservative activist James O'keefe for allegedly attempting to tamper with the phones in Sen. Mary Landrieu' s office. One question, can you explain why it took your paper six days to issue a story about the unbelievable footage that O'keefe captured showing ACORN employees advising a pimp and prostitute how to set up shop, import underage girls and avoid taxes? It took you six days to report the ACORN story and a nanosecond to report O'keefe's arrest. Mmmmm, Mmmm, Mmmmm! Take your POP and place it next to all the other ones.
Our last "winner" is Andy Stern, the SEIU President who appears to have a key to the White House. Please come up to the stage, Mr. Stern. We won't keep you long. We realize that you are a very busy man and that you are once again expected at the White House. You have been selected to receive this POP for calling Sen. Joe Lieberman and Sen. Ben Nelson "terrorists" for their opposition to the Employee Free Choice Act, more commonly referred to as card check. Who's the terrorist here sir? Here's your POP and I am quite confident there will be more to follow.
This brings our morning ceremony to a close. I want to thank all of you for attending. Let's raise our glasses in a toast to the "winners" who drive us to distraction and jangle our nerves. To the "winners"...POP...
Good morning, Tom,
Well, one thing is for sure, Obama can teach us all how to bow!
Great hub BP and the winners so deserving. I hope 50 calibre takes that lead dog and flushes the whole covey. Yesterdays remarks by Obama just plain made me angry. He continues to tell lie after lie and point fingers for "his administrations inherited deficit" for which he voted "Yea" in every piece of legislation relative to spending. I don't think it's the tingle we have to worry about and they may need to furthur check their britches for another trophy. I extend a "California Howdy" to all the award winners today. Salute!
Good morning Robert,
I am amazed how easily he outright lies and distorts everything. I guess he feel immune and above it all.
Now I've done some tough things in my life, but giving that Ugly bitch her award with out shooting her with both barrels in the face as she approached with demons dancing in her eyes, was the hardest thing I've ever had to restrain. Leaving the stage to return to my seat brushing shoulders with Mathews damn near made me tear my shirt off and burn it after such contact. It's going to the trash pile for burn as soon as I get home to pick up a gallon jug of Moonshine to try and wash this experience out of my mind.
I fear I will have a long day and night at the Bar! I need company so you all come! I'm still resisting the urge to jab out both my eyes and scream "I'm blind, I'm blind"
Excellent awards. 50, you did a great job. Too bad the shotgun didn't go off in Pelosi's direction. All the other winners fall under the category of "pukes." Andy Stern could be the biggest puke of all, and Chris Matthews, well, the less said about him, the better. Great breakfast. Let's meet at the bar. I got the first round. I also have some beef jerky with artificial elk flavoring left over. I'll bring that..BARTENDER...............
Good morning BPOP, I think you may have outdone yourself today. I am so glad 50 calibre had a chance to be involved and keep us all safe from stretch face Pelosi. The selection was diverse and you couldn't have chosen better recipients. President Obama bowed to the mayor of Tampa while visiting FL. He bows all over the place, except with the Queen of England which showed such lack of respect. His budget comments angered me yesterday also. Thanks for a great hub.
Good morning 50 Caliber,
I just got back to the computer. I read your response started laughing, then choking and I had to perform a heimlich on myself! You are so incredibly beautifully insane that you rock! You should have let the rifle fire, you would have done the world a service. I'll meet you at the bar and we'll perform an exorcism to get the "matthews" out of you. I'm bringing hot pretzels and mustard and the drinks are on me! I can't possibly eat that fake elk that taxlarry is bringing. I only like the real thing!
Good morning taxlarry,
Maybe we should change the POPs to the PUKES. In any case, I'll meet you at the bar. I'm buying and I'm bringing hot pretzels and mustard. We need to perform an exorcism on 50 Caliber to get the "Matthews" out of him!
God morning Pamela,
I wonder about Obama. I guess he spent so much time in Kenya bowing in school that he can't help himself. I will say that for a man who bows, he is pretty disrespectful to people who deserve to be treated with dignity. Who knows what evil lurks.....
POP: Outstanding awards ceremony! 50 Caliber, you looked dashing - how you could restrain yourself from shooting Pelosi is beyond me. Unless you were afraid that a bullet to the face would ricochet off her and injure someone else on the stage.
James O'Keefe wason Hannity last night. Hi is demanding that all journalists who printed untruths about the incident publically retract their statements. Good for him!
Andy Stern and all other labor union management are lucky that Obummer is pro-union. There certainly was a need for unions a long time ago, but not anymore. With government regulating all areas of employment, unions should be obsolete.
I'm off to the bar - save me a seat...
Good morning Pino,
Good for O'Keeefe, I am anxious to see how this works out. I agree 50 Caliber was magnificent! And yes, he really showed restraint. He'll be at the bar tonight and we can toast to him after we perform an exorcism to get the "matthews" out of him. Im buying and bringing pretzels. Taxlarry is bringing those elk things.
I looked ahead and wore my cast iron underwear to keep Mathews out of me, but I'm pretty sure he's sweet on Barry that way. When barry says oops and then drops his bill signing crayon it's a signal to tingly leg to step in behind him and they play cereal box, "place tab A in slot B". In case of a disaster mathews has promised barry that he will never leave the Dem.s behind. They will go to the safe zone "Gobblers Knob" and have a gay old time while America burns because the troops ran out of all resources to continue to protect our interests.
Excellent choices for this weeks POP Awards...50 Calibre was a brave man to escort plastic puss Pelosi to the stage...that's courage above and beyond...
What's with Matthews' obsession with race..? Does he have a mad crush on Obama..? Is there something more than his leg tingling..? And don't you just love the title the dems have given to the card check bill..? Employee Free Choice Act, or should it read " I have an offer you can't refuse " ..?
Beam me up, Scotty...I'm ready for some of Tom's Royal Crown, and I think taxlarry's fake elk jerky goes quite well with a discussion of a fake president....Larry
Pop,
I forgot to mention 50's magnificant performance this morning. I think he's on to Obama and Matthews thay have a "Brokeback Mountain" thing going on.
Dear 50 Caliber,
You sure have a way with words! I think you are onto something here. It explains the love fest between the two and it gives new meaning to the study of body language. It also explains Obama's marriage to Michelle, if you get my point. He can pretend she's Al Sharpton when he wants to. See you later 50, we have a lot to talk about.
l
Good morning maven,
50 Caliber may have just broke the story of the year. His theory about the Matthews- Obama relationship explains all the tingling. I'll see you later at the bar. I'm glad somebody likes taxlarry's fake elk, but for my money, there is nothing like the real thing!
Maybe they are veterans of the communist army, a group called "Rump Rangers" with a catch phrase,"Death from Behind"
Dear Tom,
I think you're right and I feel a sequel coming on, "Tingling on the Oval Office".
Dear 50 Caliber,
You are amazing, providing all this insight into a problem we just have to get behind! Fabulous investigative journalism!
Pop
Good start; Princess Pelosi; may I suggest the first cut in defense spending be her personal use of the C-20B private jet which seats up to 200 people at a cost to the taxpayers of $60K per flight; $480,000 per month; or $5,700,000 per year. This plane could be replaced with a Piper Cub saving the taxpayers millions each year. Oh, tell 50 Caliber to escort her back to a freezer after she receives the award that would be another excellent way to freeze wasteful spending; putting her on ice!
Well; I’ll just come out and say it; that warm tingly sensation running down ole Chris’ leg is “HE PEEING ON HIMSELF FOR CRYING OUT LOUD”. This overzealous goofball gets so excited at the sound of King Hussein’s voice he loses control of his bodily functions. I suggest a cleanup crew follow him up on the stage so the next recipient doesn’t slip because you know those democrats; if someone slips there will definitely be a LAW SUIT!
He, King Hussein the First, is indeed the product of the Woodstock generation; reincarnate. I myself am a member of that generation but like most of my cohorts I eventually grew out of it; developed responsibility and made my way in the world. This current Woodstock generation is best described by that now famous song which first appeared on the American Idol Try Outs a few weeks ago; Pants on the Ground: “Pants on the ground pants on the ground you look like a fool with your pants on the ground Gold in yo mouth, hat turned around, going down town with yo pants on the ground! This rap epitomizes the intellect of the generation that elected Barrack Hussein Obama!
Well done, the New York Times deserves a Lifetime achievement award as much as that Pedophile Michael Jackson whose family just received his at the most recent Hollywood Let’s Honor Ourselves Again Awards Show. Like Jackson this liberal rag is an Obamanation! They selectively report the stories of their choice while defiantly sticking their finger in the air in the famous 1 finger salute manner saying “SCREW YOU AMERICA WE’LL REPORT WHAT WE WANT” and we will not report anything that cast an unfavorable light on our Divine Messiah; the Chosen One. Get over it and renew your subscriptions; wait most of you have canceled your subscriptions by now. But we don’t care the federal government will keep us alive, we’re too important to the dissemination of their message to let us fail!
As for the SEIU President, he not only has a key to the White House, he has his own wing in it. He and his thugs have gone to the mattresses in preparation for the November elections. Their muscle will be needed then so they are getting their rest.
God Bless America
Good morning Patriot,
I agree, let's freeze Pelosi's wasteful spending and her face too! That song Pants On The Ground says it all about what it means to literally make an ass out of yourself while strutting your stuff. Much like Obama, I might add. He's got the walk, it's just that his pants sit at his waist. See you later at the bar. I'm buying and taxlarry is bringing that jerky fake elk!
Morning POP. I love a good laugh first thing in the morning, and watching 50 walk Piglosi to the stage was priceless. Piglosi, like Chris Matthews, are both in love with Nobama, I believe she gets a tingly feeling everytime she's around him. During the SOTU she had such a grip on his hand he had to force himself off of her. She jumps up and down because her panties are in a wad. This administration is playing out better than the Oscars, I would like to nominate Manchelle for an award, too bad no amount of lipstick can fix that face. On my way to the bar, I'll have a double.
hey Pop, like Roger Ailes (CEO Fox)says, i'm not into politics, I'm into ratings. yhe people you mentioned are fast fading into oblivion, I'm afraid.
Good morning jiberish,
I agree this administration provides more entertainment than all the actors fawning over themselves at the awards. The idiots in Washington do the same thing, but they don't have to wear gowns and tuxedos. I heard that Piglosi and Miss Piggy are really close. I'll save you a seat and order you a double on me. Care for a pizza?
Good morning vrajavala,
They can't fade fast enough for me! Meet us at the bar, we're having fake beef jerky that doesn't taste like elk!
Everything about this administration, about this group of people that so intertwined in it, makes me wonder if we can ever get out country back. I'm really hoping. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. There are a lot of wacko's out there and they can vote.
Let's just keep the faith.
Good morning Springboard,
Yes, there are a lot of whackos, but people are starting to wake up. We have to keep the pressure up, by voicing our opinion and writing lots of letters.
BPOP - Sorry I'm late was on a mission,, Not much Ican add at this point except to say I'll bring along a moonshine enema for 50 Cal to fully cleanse himself after such a brutal experience. I know its a tough treatment but letting the contact fester and sore in ones gut is not an option. At least we aren't stuck doing short arm inspections on these guys!!
What a patriot!
Save me a pretzel BPOP I got some canned cheese for them...See ya at the Inn!!
Good choices as always. Some of our most nefarious journalists and "public servants"--they really only ALL serve themselves and their other liberal friends!!!
Good afternoon Hmrjmr,
Forget the enema, let's go with the exorcism! Be at the bar, and bring the cheese. I am really in the mood for the pretzel and most of all the great company.
Good afternoon Sheri,
How right you are. True reporting is dead and the truth is really up for interpretation. Meet us at the bar and we will talk it over.
So does Chris Matthew have a "think" for BO. He feels a tingle every time he see him. Honestly, Chris, if I were you, I wouldn't admit this.
Keep on hubbing!
I think the strongest I can do for breakfast is coffee and Bailey's. Good selections for the awards!
Dear eovery,
It is quite possible that Chris is in love!
Dear habee,
A bit strong for me too.. I may go back to shakes with a little something added!
As always, great stuff. Chris Matthews must take moron pills or something. No one can be that stupid without some chemical help. Thank you for all the smiles.
Good morning Ken,
Actually, it looks like Chris may have a huge crush on Barack!
I think we could freeze the military budget for 3 years with no ill effects. Inflation is negligible. We could probably impose a 10% across the board decrease in federal spending.
Dear nicomp,
What we should do is freeze Pelosi's expensive weekly trips home and get Rangel to pay his taxes!
Remember that the Bush administration gave her that plane to use because it was considered a security risk for a smaller plane to stop for refueling on the way. I don't have a problem with keeping our congresspeople safe and as I've said before they should all be paid a million bucks a year anyway. A typical executive is paid based on the budget for which he/she is responsible. Congresspeople are responsible for trillion dollar budgets. The more money we pay them the less they will be inclined to accept graft, as both sides of the aisle are inclined to do. Perhaps we can attract a better class of people as a side-effect.
You did it again, pop
My remark about Pelosi’s Botox “offended” another huber, but it sure looks like it has affected her brain. Remember the jumping up and down during the state of the union? To me she looked like a monkey who forgot to take her daily Prozac.
As for Chris Matthews, what can I say? Imagine what he would have said if anyone else would have made such an out of place and offensive remark. How is that not racist (and stupid)?
For one week the media made a big deal out of (what’s his name? the senator from Nevada) who only stated the obvious, without looking so surprised that a black man could be intelligent and articulate.
As you know, the double standards are killing me. Loved your hub.
Dear nicomp,
I do have a problem with her flying home every week and flying her family around on the taxpayer's dime. As far as what those in Congress should be paid, please tell me you don't mean 1 million dollars. No amount of money will keep those not inclined to stay honest. Let's up the salary for teachers so we can attract more talented people. Let's demand that screeners at the airports be educated and speak more than one language like the Israelis. Let's make sure they are smart enough to have good judgement.
Nicomp, this has been a very enjoyable back and forth and I would love to do it more often!
Good morning Petra,
So glad you enjoyed the hub. It's amazing that you can't beat real life for events that seem surreal!
Congresspeople are hugely underpaid. We want them to represent us in Washington *and* we want them to maintain a presence in their home town. Two residences cost big bucks. Washington DC is not a cheap place to live.
Executives at any major corporation are awarded a salary based on their value to the company. If we want the best, we need to pay them as such. Obviously the appeal to patriotism isn't working all that well. They may come to Washington full of national pride, but they find out rather quickly that they can't feed themselves on it.
Let's cut Social Security by .001% and give our federal representatives a raise.
Dear nicomp,
Please tell me you are kidding.
It's getting to the point that I simply should cease Hubbing - you say everything that's inside my head! Don't EVEN get me started about Queen Pelosi and wanting to take money AWAY from the military. When is she up for that re-election she won't get??? If I have to empty our savings account to finance her replacement - I'll do it! sigh...
Dear cjv,
Never say the words "stop hubbing" never. As far as Pelosi is concerned I'll help you finance her trip home for good!
Yes, you are very talented my dear friend, and you also make me laugh or smile, thanks for your awesome recipes along with sharing your kingdom with us. I am so glad I don't live in your kingdom, the kind of my kingdom is
Walt Disney....lalalalalalla
Good morning Darlene,
So sorry it took me this long to answer, but hubpages didn't send me any notification that I had comments. Ah to live in Disney World from morning to night without Obama on television round the clock wearing us out. I can dream, can't I?
It's fun to read your articles.
Good morning sheila,
Thankyou so much. It's fun to have to come for breakfast!

Pop,
A very diverse and deserving group of "winners" this morning. We have to give a nod to President Obama for his exercise of fiscal disipline shown in his 2011 budget of $3.8 trillion with a mere deficit of $1.6trillion. Since projections show that within 8 years interest on the National Debt will be $800 billion we will have to practice bowing to China as our banker.
I brought a case of Crown Royal and I'm sharing at the bar.
