A Bronx and the PIP-POP Awards
62Fanfare!
Good morning breakfastpoppers. Today is Tuesday, April 19, 2011. It's time for the 31st weekly presentation of the coveted PIP-POP Awards. Our traditional liquid breakfast selection is called the Bronx. You will need 1 and 1/2 ounces gin, 1/4 ounce dry vermouth, 1/4 ounce sweet vermouth, 1 ounce orange juice and an orange slice for garnish. Pour ingredients into a ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake well and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with orange slice. Put on your fanciest clothes and carry your "breakfast" to the theater. The "winners" await your arrival.
Welcome, my friends. Let's begin the festivities by inviting New York Times reporter Richard Perez-Pene to the stage. You treated New Jersey Governor Chris Christie very harshly in your reporting of a minor, emphasis on the word minor", remark he made recently when referring to State Senator Loretta Weintraub. He said the following to the press, "Can you guys take the bat out on her for once." Big deal, big deal. Everyone with half a brain understands that the Governor wasn't making a violent statement. Here's your POP for making a mountain out of a molehill. Take your seat.
Moving along let's give a great big round of applause to Nancy Pelosi who is currently the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives. Recently you made the following comment, "elections shouldn't matter as much as they do." Uh, Um we don't know how to respond to this inane remark other than to award you with this POP and tell you that since elections don't really matter consider yourself retired. Congratulations and take your seat.
Let's take a moment to take a sip of our breakfast and welcome the third "winner" of the morning Harry Reid, Majority Leader of the Senate for having the bad judgement and poor taste to omit the words "under God" while reciting the pledge. Who were you afraid of offending, the Communist Chinese or perhaps, al-Queda? Here's your POP and there's your seat.
Our fourth POP Award is being awarded to China for making us all extremely grateful we don't reside there. Will someone from the government please step up to the stage? Your government has banned time-travel movies because they take objection to the notion of Chinese citizens traveling to a simpler time. What's next on the banned list, dreams? Take your POP and take your seat.
Our last award of the morning is a PIP. Please welcome Marco Rubio, the distinguished senator from Florida to the stage. Congratulations for handling the bad behavior of a heckler at a recent Tea Party gathering. You congratulated the rude guy for being the first heckler you ever had. The crowd applauded and we applaud you for handling a sticky situation with a sense of humor and grace.
It's time to thank all of our "winners" for a most enjoyable morning. Until we meet again, be safe, be happy and be vigilant. PIP-PIP HOORAY...POP GOES THE WEASELS...

Good morning Tom,
I suppose you are right. I think they just may insert Soros's name into the pledge. "Under Soros". See you at the Inn.
POP: Another great award ceremony, and all well-deserved honorees. Pelosi and Reid - what a team.
I guess in one more generation, the Chinese will not know what time travel is all about.
It's too bad the NYT reporter is not getting tough on Obama, Pelosi, Reid, etc.
Marco Rubio deserved the PIP today.
I'm off to the bar - someone please save me a seat....
Pelosi and Reid are just pieces of garbage that should be thrown out with the rest of the trash. I didn't know you can give a POP to an enitre country. I am impressed. The Rubio heckler should have been water boarded. Let's rehash the awards at the bar. BARTENDER...........
Pop, I'm with taxlarry after all the kernels popping but one, a good buzz is due to rehash the been dumb before group and I can't believe we can't get rid of these butt fleas, 50
Good morning Pino,
With the Chinese only allowing one child per family there might not be a next generation. To the Inn, I'm buying.
Good Morning taxlarry,
The poor Chinese, not only are they carrying our debt, their people are eating cardboard and poison and now they can't escape reality by simply going to the movies. What a world. See you at the bar. I'm buying.
Good morning 50,
You and taxlarry may be twins separated at birth! See both of you at the Inn and I'm buying.
Hey POP... yet another fine example of the utter dysfunction running rampant today in all aspects of our society... Pelosi basically made a giant poopy on one of the most American and sacredly democratic tenets... voting in elections... how this woman could possibly say such a thing with a straight face is beyond me... oh wait, there is reason she's called stretch Pelosi...As for the Christie remark and resultant criticism, what can I say... it is a figure of speech, he's a tough talking guy, a straight shooter... everyone needs to strap on a set of cohones and stop being so damn sensitive or at the very least, give up the witch hunting and actually look for and at the truth...It is yet another disgrace and a slap in the face to all of us who proudly call ourselves Americans that comrade Reid would omit the words Under God while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance...Unless he is suffering from early onset Alzheimers, there is just no excuse for the blatant disrespect he displayed...
The only thing more inane is that Rutgers University gave SNOOKI $32,000 to speak there... I am setting my law degree on fire as we speak.
The Bronx is just what the doctor ordered after all the feasting and matzah-ing I have done...
HEY MAVEN, SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU. Just because MacBeth didn't rock my world doesn't mean I lack depth. In fact I have more depth than your average salad bar... At least I think that's what you said...
Latah...
Good morning jellio,
Don't burn the law degree, I beg you..don't burn the law degree! Reid has no excuse for his behavior, he's just a loser and his leader is Obama. I still can't get over the fact that actual people voted for him and Pelosi. Scary isn't it? See you at the Inn. I'm buying. I'm bringing chicken soup and matzoh balls.
Morning POP...The Alphonse-Gaston act of Reid and Pelosi would be funny were they on the stage and not in Washington, DC...Is their respective electorates that naive, blind, and uncaring that they continue to reelect this idiots again and again..? Pelosi was a national embarrassment as Speaker of the House; an inarticulate party hack, strutting on the stage like Macbeth's idiot...Reid, with the IQ of an ice cube, staring into the camera with a dazed look of abject puzzlement...
Rubio looks more and more like a solid VP choice for conservatives...
HEY, JELLIO: I didn't say you lacked depth, just width...
See you at the tavern, POP...Let's discuss Vince Flynn's " Term Limits "...Larry
POP - another great show! Up and Awesome! I'm with 50 and Larry as well, gonna bring my canteen cup for some of that famous Chicken Soup with the secret ingredient (Jack Black)! And I raise my Glass to Marco Rubio and the TEA Party! Hear Hear!!
Wow! Poppy, an all-star stellar cast for today's awards. Reid is practicing for when he joins the great socialist party and leads them in the pledge. Pelosi...oh, I'd say that she is about one click off of finding out how well Obama-Care pays for those in the home. I really believe that you could circulate a picture of Harry Reid around the nation and ask people to mark whether or not they thought that he was a criminal still being pursued by the FBI and find that...that's exactly what the American people would believe. It's a shame they can't find this guy a part in the remake of the "The Godfather". Pelosi could star in "The Monster From The Black Lagoon" or "Night of The Living Dead"! Bid-de, Bid-be, that's all folks! WB
Pop
The left can use targets; bulls eyes, terms like reload, destroy, crush or even annihilate but let our side reference a piece of baseball equipment (bat) and OOOOOHHHHHH the sheer horror of it all. I for one would like to take the BAT to New York Times reporter Richard Perez-Pene for his ever sickening double standard. But then again he and his colleagues ignore the fact the first group to be thrown in prison when Hu and his Chinese thugs take over will be the so called journalists!
Huuuuuuum let me think about this; his Majesty told the Republicans when he graced them with his appearance at the House of Commons last year as he was shoving his Health Care Obamanation down their throats; elections have consequences and now that the Marxist have lost the House Queen Pelosi says "elections shouldn't matter as much as they do." All I can make of it is that whatever the dumb American Public does it won’t matter, we’ll impose our agenda on them anyway if we have to do it through the courts or Regulatory Bodies; we’ve got the press on our side to spin anything we need!
Harry Reid is in poor taste just standing in a room. How could such a sissy bag of sh** become so powerful; he makes me want to throw up just listening to his Girly-man voice! He deserves a Cranial Rectal Inversion Statue for just being Harry Reid!
Hey POP China and the former USA will be one in the same in no time; after Barrackie Boo Hu eliminates the middle class through his policies while destroying our economy we’ll all be riding bicycles and running around in our pajamas!
As for Marco Rubio, he deserves a Pip for just being Marco Rubio as opposed to Barrackie Boo who thinks he’s Marco Polo; Marco Polo-Marco Polo; glub-glub-glub!
To everything turn turn turn
There is a program turn turn turn
And they’re all designed to steal your money
A program to tax
A program to spend
A program to turn enemies into friends
And they’re all there to destroy this country
Da-Da-Da-Da
HEY MAVEN, I WAS TRYING TO THINK OF SOME WITTY PITHY COMEBACK SEEING AS YOU HAVE NOW THROWN DOWN THE GAUNTLET, BUT ALL I COULD COME UP WITH IS, "I AM RUBBER AND YOU ARE GLUE. WHATEVER YOU SAY BOUNCES OFF OF ME AND STICKS TO YOU." SO, NEE NER NEE NER NEE NER
Good morning maven,
It is possible that dead people, illegal aliens, space invaders and al Queda voted Reid and Pelosi in. After all that's how Obama got elected. See you at the Inn. Do you like Noodle Puddiing?
Dear Hmr,
You make your Chicken Soup and I'll bring mine and then we'll have a taste off. To the Inn. I'm buying all night.
Dear Wayne,
To my utter horror, the movie Traffic was on with Michael Douglas and lo and behold there was Harry Reid in a scene depicting a Washington party. I blew up the television. See you at the Inn.
Good morning Patriot,
Great commentary voted up funny, useful, awesome and beautiful. Can I do that? Reid has more feminine wiles than Michelle. What a screw up. See you at the Inn. Bring your comments and do a reading. I'm buying.
BPop I have no problem saying that I wish Reid and Pelosi both would do America a favor and go away ! I want to say something much more harsh then that too, trust me. And whwn it comes to the NY Times it is only suitable for lining the catbox and hopefully not insulting your cat.
Dear tony,
I think your cat would be insulted. Just line the trash can with the Times, it makes more sense. See you at the Inn.
Dear jellio and maven,
Behave! Telling someone they have no width is just as bad as saying they have no heigth and throwing stick and stones can put a hole in your head.
Dear jellio and maven,
Behave! Telling someone they have no width is just as bad as saying they have no heigth!
Dear jellio and maven,
Behave! Telling someone they have no width is just as bad as saying they have no heigth!
Dear jellio and maven,
Behave! Telling someone they have no width is just as bad as saying they have no heigth!
Dear jellio and maven,
Behave! Telling someone they have no width is just as bad as saying they have no heigth!
Yay for Marco Rubio, and with that having been a Tea Party rally where he got heckled, you can bet your booties the heckler was a plant. Yeah, I know, as in, DUH.
Of course Harry Reid would omit "under God". When your entire life (including picking fights with drunks outside the bars, as Will Starr mentioned recently, so you and your brother could beat them up when you were young boxers) has been pretty much a lying, bullying, cheating, stealing, AFFRONT to God, you don't really want to do anything special to bring yourself to the Creator's attention, now do you?
Up and awesome.
Forgot to mention: China definitely deserves the POP...but it's not JUST a matter denying their people a bit of escapism. The trouble with time travel movies (for them) is that the very concept opens the mind of the viewer to possibilities beyong the program laid down by the regime. Such things lead to people thinking for themselves, which leads to revolution and current regime members losing their power...and they (as they see it) certainly can't have that.
POP...You are right...Perhaps width was a bit harsh...
Let me rephrase in a manner that only a lawyer would appreciate:
Judge Jellio: I have read your case, Maven, and I am no wiser now than I was when I started...
Maven: Possibly not, your Honor, but much better informed...
Judge Jellio: Are you trying to show contempt for this court, Maven?...
Maven: No, your Honor. I am attempting to conceal it...
Judge Jellio: You are an extremely offensive person...
Maven: As a matter of fact, we both are, and the only difference between us is that I am trying to be, and you can't help it...
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me...So there!!...
Good afternoon, pop.
Another great and humorous round of the Pip-Pop Awards. Each winner definitely deserved their Pip or Pop.
NEENER,NEENER,NEENER,NEENER,NEENER,NEENER,NEENER,NEENER,

The best thing about having liberal Democrats in complete charge of government for two years, was the way it opened the eyes of independents.
Wide open!
Now we have Obama, Reid, and Pelosi reeling from the Standard and Poors broadside yesterday, that said the liberal left has driven this country over the debt cliff! Obama is scrambling today to cover his ultra-liberal, free-spending butt!
And a huge chunk of that Standard and Poors statement is based on Obamacare. They saw right through the lie that it won't cost us any additional money to insure 40,000,000 additional Americans. Yeah right!
Dear Ghost,
And just think voters find this guy appealing! See you at the Inn. Bring Pam.
Dear Ghost,
I find this administration's treatment of Fox News strikingly similar to the way China operates. Ugh!
Dear maven,
I'd say when Judge Jellio reads your dialogue you will be cooling your heels in the slammer for contempt of court. Na, Na, Na Na, Na, Na, Na, Na Good=bye!
Dear T4Hota,
Thanks ans some of those mentioned deserve something much more than a POP! See you at the Inn.
Dear 50,
With a platform like yours I would be proud to work on your campaign! DFP! DFP! DFP!
Dear WillStarr,
They can scramble, they can run, but they can no longer hide. The fruits of their labors have been realized. To the Inn. Let's hurry before our money is completely worthless.
BPOP - Had to skip breakfast today. Could you maybe get up a little earlier when I have to go to work early? I'm just askin...
This week's POP awards are again so well deserved. I actually Pipped Pelosi with an article when she made that statement. Of course elections shouldn't matter so much when you're on the losing end.
Harry is a panty waste so...
Now Rubio is a shining star coming over the political horizon. The Senator is a plain talker and we need more of them in the Senate.
Dear Frog Prince,
Why of course I can get up earlier for you on days you have to leave early. Just let me know. I'll also throw in a Ferrari! I agree we need more like Rubio in Washington. The rest can pack up and go. See you at the Inn. I'll bring breakfast.
BPOP - When we flip the Senate in 2012 we'll let Harry chime in with how elections shouldn't mean as much as they do.
Make that Ferrari platinum in color if you will. I like the look.
Dear Frog Prince,
Harry will probably continue to stay in the Senate even when he finally loses his seat. They only have a red Ferarri available. Will that do?
BPOP - If it must be red then it must be red. It may clash with my green hue but I'll deal with it.
I have heard that Harry will find a way to cheat death when it comes aknockin.
Dear Frog Prince,
Okay, I'l try for silver. As for Harry, he's already dead which explains everything about him.
MAVEN SCHMAVEN... didn't I catch your schtick at one of the borscht belt resorts in the Catskills? I still prefer nee ner nee ner nee ner... and... in the next round, I will bust out some of my best "yo mama" jokes... happy pesach
Outstanding Award program and I can't think of anyone that deserves the POPs more than Reid and Pelosi (I think an IQ test on her would reflect a new low). The NY times are certainly a paper that I would waste money on. As for Rubio, as a Floridian I am proud of him as our Senator.
Off to the inn. It's been one of those days so I'm ready for a late night.
Oh POP,
I'm sorry I must disagree......This drink must have 3oz of gin. Either that or I just need 2 drinks. Great Hub and I agree with Wayne Brown, Nancy P. belongs in those movies. See you at the Inn. Up and Awesome.
Thanks
Chuck
All we can do is VOTE! and get others to vote
I do not understand why people keep blaming Obama for the shit this country is in. It started when Bush was president!
Dear Pamela,
I agree Rubio is a bright light in an otherwise dismal landscape.
Good morning chuck,
By all means increase the proportions of the alcohol. This world demands that we fortify ourselves against the Pelosis and the Reids!
Dear gr82bme,
I know it's early s maybe I'm missing the joke, but please tell me you don't really think this is Obama's fiasco. He is into his third year and he has made everything much worse.
If you watch that film I have put a link to, you will see who is to blame. It will take much more then 2 years to fix. I do not think that Obama has enough experiance to fix what has happened and we all know that the president is just a mouth piece. He doesn't really run this country. Big corparations do.
So many POPs and so few PIPs. But certainly no lack of Idiots. I would point out to your "commentor" (I use the term loosely for him/her/it) that perhaps he should pick up a history book, preferably one published before 1965, to expose him/her/it-self to actual history, before Democrats started re-writing it. I would also suggest to your brilliant "commentor" that reading your hub is a step in the "right" direction, in so many ways!!! Clearly, he is a "blame Bush" advocate and like soooo many Dems, he/she/it doesn't even know why they hate Bush. The crap comments from these morons gets old. Especially now when we face the hardest days in our history; certainly in our lifetimes. And people, Dems, are still listening to the rants of crazy congressmen and women like Pelosi and Reid.
Oh, btw, Good Morning BPOP and Friends! I've missed you.
Dear gr82bme,
Bush isn't president, Obama is and corporations don't really run the world. Our government is extending itself into areas where it doesn't belong and our president is trying to ignite the flame of class warfare. This is his doing and shame on him.
Dear pcoach,
Long time no breakfast! You are missed. What is really sickening is that Obama will be setting fires under the feet of people who are truly anxious to blame Bush, blame corporate America and blame all those nasty "rich" people who get away with murder. These are scary times. All these union thugs marching in the streets screaming obscenities reminds me of Nazi Germany. See you at the Inn. We need to catch up. Hope all is well.
I do not "HATE" That is such a cruel word. I never said I hated anyone. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I did not realize when I read this you could only have the same opinion. I also say that I do not think Obama is experienced enough to be the president. You must hate if the only word you saw was Bush
Dear gr82bme,
I don't think you are addressing these comments to me because I hope you realize that I do welcome other opinions and enjoy a spirited discussion. Sometimes, however, passions run high but controversy is healthy and a sign of a democracy at work.
Did you know calling someone names is a form of bullying? I have taught my kids not to call people names like idiot, even if they are one.
Dear gr82bme,
Generally speaking the breakfastpoppers avoid name calling, we leave that to the liberals! If someone offended you, please accept my regret.
POP,
The sad part is that there are still kool aid drinkers outthere that actually believe Obama is doing a great job and blame everything on the GOP- those guys are the dangerous ones . THe worst part is when you smoke them in a debate... they don't post you writing and call you names That is what really bugs me.
TH as much as lil Barry.
Dear tom,
I think their numbers may be growing because now they have not only Bush to blame, but the rich people. Class warfare courtesy of Obama is on the way.
Marco Rubio deserved that PIP, bp, for handling the heckler so well. Marco has class and intelligence and appears to be navigating the DC shoals well for a newbie. So far!
Dear drbj,
I agree, I think he is fantastic. See you at the Inn.
Pops,
obarryma has gone to the well of-"its Bushes fault"
defense- it is worn REALLY thin-He and his rabble rousers to attack regular folk but its all Buhes fault
Th sorry gotta go- why its Bushes fault... gotta take a lea- why its Bushes fault
TH
TH
Dear tom,
Remember Obama's mantra, "It can never be my fault, because I said so".
I am not a Democrat and I did not vote for Obama. I do think he was elected, he is the president and we the people should stand beside our president. If we do not like something we can show him in votes and protests. We vote these people into government and if they are not doing their job we can vote them out.
What must other countries think when they see us bad mouthing our own president?
We need to stick together no matter who is in office Dems. or Rep.
Good morning gr82bme,
We live in a free country and we have the right to voice our opinions. That is the beauty of being an American. I doubt that other countries think anything about our right to speak our minds, other than how good it must feel to be that free. Honestly, this is a very frightening time in our history. Obama isn't doing anything to solve our problems. He is out campaigning when he should be leading. It's hard to stand behind a man like that.
gr8,
So I would assume you would "wag your finger" at the DEmOCRATS and MEDIA for their treatment of George W Bush too-right??
didnt pelosi say it was patriotic to question???
If you can answer yes then you have a point if not then your a hypocrite...
TH
TH
Did you not see, I did not even vote for Obama. So how is saying I think we need to stand behind our president being a hypocrite? Wagging our finger and blaming has gotten us NOWHERE, EVER! So let us try something new. Let us all stand together. After all we ALL are Americans and I am sure we ALL want to see the same things happen.
I know this is naive thinking and will never happen in our time.
pop, you are right, at least we do have the freedom. My daughter said the same thing.
Tina
Gr8,
We may all be americans but All of us dont want the Same thing- obamma and the far left-Saul Allinski, rev wrights of the world do- NOt want what i want, i want america to be great and not some sad third world bananna republic throw back, that is where we are headed under- the current Reich in the White House. i'm sorry - to "just get long to get along" is to be complicent with the "change I don't believe in".Barry o does not want what I want.
TH
* Employment, with a living wage,
* Freedom from unfair competition and monopolies,
* Housing,
* Medical care,
* Education, and,
* Social security
gr8,
sure we all want those things and it is job to work to get them they ARE NOT RIGHTS
the only things you mentioned that the government should has NO responsibility to PROVIDE Most oF THOSE THINGS
The government Does have a responsibility to provide a safe living environment where jobs can be freely created by individuals and companies. That is unless you live in Russia or China-Sweden
TH
Dear gr82bme,
It is absurd and dangerous to support a man with policies designed to destroy our country.
Dear gr82bme,
The things you list are not rights. Find them in the Constitution.
Pops,
I thought so-3 stroke guy pats self on back and buys pop an ale at the bar....
TH
Dear tom,
I'll buy you dinner!
Thanks pop mighty neighborly of ya...TH
Dear tom,
Anytime, tom, anytime.
Teddy Roosevelt wrote those. The second bill of rights
Dear gr82bme,
There is only one Bill of Rights.
The Second Bill of Rights was a list of rights proposed by Franklin D. Roosevelt, the then President of the United States, during his State of the Union Address on January 11, 1944. In his address Roosevelt suggested that the nation had come to recognize, and should now implement, a second "bill of rights". Roosevelt's argument was that the "political rights" guaranteed by the constitution and the Bill of Rights had "proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness." Roosevelt's remedy was to declare an "economic bill of rights"
Dear gr82bme,
Suggestions do not a "Bill of Rights" make. I'll stick with the one we have. If it is followed then is is just fine. Enjoy the week-end.

Pop,
Another group of deserving winners. I think that Reid and the whole Progressive caucus has been given there marching orders by Soros. Until they can "come out" and openly pay him homage, no other reference to a diety are to be made!!!!!!!!!!!
