A Banshee and the PIP-POP Awards
60Fanfare!
Good morning breakfastpoppers. Today is PIP-POP Tuesday, December 21, 2010. This morning marks the 14th presentation of the coveted PIP-POPS. Let's prepare our customary liquid breakfast and meet again at the theater. Today we will be preparing a Banshee. You will need 1 ounce banana liqueur, 1/2 ounce white Creme de Cacao and cream or milk. Fill an old-fashioned glass with ice. Pour in the liqueurs and fill the rest of the glass with either cream or milk. Cover and shake. That's all there is to it. Pack it up and I'll see you in a few minutes. The "winners" await your arrival.
Welcome everyone. Let's begin the ceremony by inviting Rep. Keith Ellison, the distinguished Democrat from Minnesota up to the stage. We understand that you were appalled by Rep. Peter King, the distinguished Republican from New York because he has suggested that we start investigating radical Muslims. You said, "to vilify this group is scary". Sir, what is there about the word "radical" that you don't understand? You went on to state that we should be enlisting radical Muslims to safeguard this country. Are you aware of the fact that "radical" Muslims want to tear our country down? Does September 11th resonate at all with you? Apparently not. Please take your POP and clear the stage for our next recipient who will be receiving a PIP Award.
Let's welcome Representative Peter King to the stage. Thank you sir for your clear understanding of what "radical" Muslims are trying to do to our country and for having the courage to stop all the PC rhetoric, roll up your sleeves and attempt to make our country safe from those among us who seek to overthrow our laws and customs through violent activities.
Our third "honoree" of the morning Is Rev. Al Sharpton. Rev. Al, thank you for taking some time off from your crusade to have Rush Limbaugh thrown off the air. You want the FCC to hold hearings that set standards for what is allowed on the radio. You are calling for the establishment of decency standards. Here is your POP for conveniently forgetting all about the Tawana Brawley incident. What could you possibly know about decency?
Our next "winner" is the ever popular Rep. Barney Frank. We all heard you state that heirs to an estate don't deserve their inheritance because they didn't do anything to earn it. How dare you suggest that hard working successful people don't have the right to pass their money or business on to their children? Their success was achieved by hard work and ingenuity and they have every right to secure their children's future. This money has already been taxed. Your philosophy is quite popular in Communist countries where everyone works for the "state". Perhaps a change of scenery would be good for you.
Our last POP of the morning is awarded to President Obama. Will Robert Gibbs please come up to the stage to stand in for the President? On December 16th, President Obama appeared in the White House Briefing Room. Midway through the briefing he left rather abruptly and handed over the presidency to a Clinton once again. This time it was Hillary who got to play President. Who's next, BO the WH dog?
It is time to salute all the "winners" by raising our Banchees on high and thanking them for never disappointing us. Until we meet again, PIP-PIP Hooray...POP Goes the Weasels.

Good morning Sheri,
I've missed you! I agree, maybe now we have a chance to set things back on track. People like Ellison are going to get us killed and Peter King is a breath of fresh air. See you at the bar and we'll catch up.
When we do a missile strike on terrorist camps, we should do a precision strike on Ellison. And, PIP PIP Hooray for Peter King, just telling it like it is. As for Barney Fwank, he is a communist through and through. Barney wouldn't know about passing an estate to children. Barney Fwank doesn't have children. Barney Fwank wouldn't know how children get here. And for the Massholes in Mass., they deserve barney Fwank. The problem is that we don't. And Rev. Al ought to be thrown off of the planet. Thirsty. BARTENDER.........
POP: WOW! the list is never-ending of the people who give you material for the awards each week. You could probably have an ceremony every day!
Al Sharpton's ego forces him to do whatever he needs to to stay in the spotlight. I wonder what his alter-ego is like.
Barney Frank is just as sick as Sharpton. Does he not have any heirs?
I just noticed, probably the last one on earth to do so, but BO the dog has Barack Obama's initials! Linking the two makes me wonder about Obama's ego! Well, we do all know about that, don't we.
Peter King is my hero. He has the guts to stand up and protect us, not caring about the Political Correctness.
I have been toasting him all morning with my Banshees.
Now I'm off to the bar - someone save me a seat....
Good morning taxlarry,
You make perfect sense and you make me thirsty. See you at the bar.I'll be there early.
Dear Pino,
I never realized that BO and Obama have the same initials. Of course there is a connection. Frankly, I'm surprised he didn't name his girls after himself. See you at the bar. Lay off the banshees until you get there.In fact, stay where you are and I'll pick you up!
Maven:
I forgot to mention that the Dance of the Seven Veils is my new show, premiering in early 2011. I'm auditioning for six other spots - any takers?
"We all heard you state that heirs to an estate don't deserve their inheritance because they didn't do anything to earn it."
It doesn't matter if they deserve it or not. The federal government is mandated with legislating morality.
Many heirs certainly don't deserve their parents' wealth, but that is no one's business except the parents.
It's called liberty, or personal freedom, or self-determination.
The Founding Fathers wrote extensively on the subject: they favored it.
Dear nicomp,
Let's face it, at every twist and turn our freedoms are being eclipsed. These morons in Washington never heard of the Founding Fathers. See you at the bar.
Excellent show today, Poppy...and some excellent honorees. I find myself wondering what, in today's PC climate, a given group must refer to themselves as to be viewed as a threat to folks like the senator from Minnesota. These are the people in movies who run to meet the natives only to have them slash their throat on arrival. Good God man, get a brain! We cannot and will not ever work our way out of the problems of this world by being timid, shy, and PC. Let's take some names and kick some ass. See you at the bar and I'll buy! Another round of Banchees barkeep! WB
Morning POP...Ellison, the Muslim Mouthpiece from Minnesota, that great state that elected Jesse Ventura, a 9-11 denier, as its governor, Al Franken(stein) to the Senate, and the only state in ’84 to vote for Walter Mondale, deserve this guy and all the Muslim Somalis that live in his district, where the crime rate exploded in the last 8 years...He actually considers Radical Muslim an oxymoron...
Lets face it...Barney Frank sucks, big time...enough said...
I get dizzy just looking at all that wavy hair Sharpton cultivates with Breelcream every morning...his hair is as slippery as his personality...
Obama thinks he's playing a basketball game, and keeps heading for the sidelines being substituted by the Clintons...Hawaii beckons...Was that Michelle telling him to get his butt over there..?
King is the brightest bulb in New York politics, and an inspiration to all Americans that know the difference between radical and moderate Muslims...although, moderate Muslims could use a kick in the butt and start sounding off against their radical brethren...
See you at the tavern, POP...Pino promised to shed the 2nd veil tonight...I'm still in thrall over that first enticement...Larry
Dear Wayne,
Frankly Rep. Ellison made me want to scream like a banchee. Can you imagine the stupidity of someone suggesting that radical Muslims help to keep our nation safe? See you at the bar.
Dear maven,
The people of Minnesota should have their water supply checked. It could be tainted by terrorists who just love people who can't think their way out of a paper bag! Give me more people like Peter King! To the bar. Pino has been practicing for days. Did you see her short note to you above?
POP: Actually, I'm looking for 6 people from the bar to audition for my new show. Anyone in?
Pop, I'm short anything intelligent to say this morning with out breaking into fourwordofest, so I'm going to the Inn where after a few heavy drinks I can properly address some of these folks in the Marine Corps issued english, Peace 50
Hmmm....Pino is looking for six breakfastpoppers to audition for her Dance of the Seven Veils...Does that mean there is only one veil per person, counting Pino..? Sounds pretty risque to me... I'd volunteer but my tutu is being used by Barney Frank, and I used my wet keffiyeh to butt-snap Obama...Larry
Dear Pino,
I'm in!
Good morning 50,
Actually a few good four letter words would be a stress reliever. See you at the bar.
Dear maven,
Audition anyway. it should be fun. See you later.
Excellent award ceremony as always. Rep. King was an great choice for a PIP and Ellison should hand his head in shame except I think he is too stupid to realize he his elevator doesn't go to the top floor. Sharpton and decency are definitely incompatible. Then, Barney Frank, what another idiot. I have always thought inheritance tax was double taxation which I thought was illegal. If you've paid once, they its a done deal. Who can even begin to figure out the games of Obama and the Clintons. Off to the inn~
POP: Glad you're in. As for Maven, If you agree to shave your legs, then the audience will not know.
Just think of the surprise at the end of the show!!
The possibilities will be endless.
Dear Pamela,
You summed up the PIP-POPS so beautifully, I vote you up and awesome. See you at the bar. Pino is holding auditions for veil dancers, or something like that. I don't know what she is talking about , but I'm in. Care to join me?
Der Pino,
Leave maven alone. I like him just the way he is!
Hurry, great show, and what a bunch of loser, or should I say winners of POP awards.
Keep on hubbing!
I'm late to the bar, but I'm enjoying 50's words about todays award ceremony.
So, maybe better late than never.
Great PIP, Well deserved POP's.
I'm naming myself designated driver.
Almost fell off the wagon--the banshee recipe (hey, that rhymes!) being that tasty-tempting. Fortunately, your final POP award of the day caught me off guard. I hadn't heard about the HILLARY Clinton incident. Spewed banshee all over the keyboard; took quite some time to do cleanup & make sure none of the keys were sticking.
Still got the awesome aftertaste, though.
Voted Up and Funny.
Representative King's one of my heroes as well--in large part for having called out Arizona's own "Rotten Raul" Grijalva, accurately stating that Grijalva advocates for Mexico, not the United States.
Good morning eovery,
Let's face it all the "winners" are losers!
Good morning sueroy,
Thanks for being the designated driver. We really needed you last night after a few too many toasts to the "winners".
Good morning Ghost,
Did you lick the keyboard clean? I would have. You're right about Rep. King. Now if only we could clone him.
Thanks for the news updates & awards. The Sharpton situation truly is ludicrous, especially when one considers the Tawana Brawley incident. Sharpton & decency, PLEASE!!!! Too bad people's sense of history doesn't extend beyond breakfast this morning. Voted up & funny.
Good morning Ken,
I still can't get over Sharpton's come back so to speak. One day he is the fool that we all know him to be and in the next instant he thinks about running for President and is taken seriously. You're right, most people have the attention span and memory of a flea.
You know if all this wasn't so SAD and TRUE...someone might suggest making it into a movie, but the LEFT would say, "Look how they exaggerate us...were not like that! Good Hub! Interesting breakfast.
Great insight as ususal Pop!
Saw Gov. John Kasich on Fox last nite. He told the reporter that he had a bus to travel the route he wanted to get things done. If you weren't on the bus, he was going to run you over with the bus. Love it, love it, love it!
Good morning b.Malin,
I think it is a movie called "The Russians are coming". See you at the bar.
Dear logic, commonsense,
Tough talk for tough times. Too bad we have a President who regards our national security as an insignificant issue. See you at the bar.
bp - When I read your recital of the strange actions and words emanating from our distinguished (?)congressional representatives, Ellison, Sharpton and Frank, I was reminded of a great quote by Mark Twain which would be entirely appropriate here: "Fleas can be taught nearly anything that a Congressman can." Amen!
Dear drbj,
I love the quote. It should be inscribed in the capitol for all to see. See you at the bar and we'll toast the "winners".
Oh my dear Pop, where has this year gone? fast moving and many changes and I am sure we have many more changes to face us in our future. We need to stay strong and brave; keep passing out those Pop awards. Again, Merry Christmas to you and yours, you loyal follow, fan and friend, love & peace darski
Dearest Darlene,
I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year. You are a wonderful person and I am so Happy we "met".

Pop,
I have been busy lately, that is the cause of my being MIA. However, I enjoyed the awards today. I too applaud King for having the GUTS to state the obvious and decide to FINALLY do something about it. At least now conservatives have a little power and we can slow down the BO runaway train!!
