A Cherry Squirt and the PIP-POP Awards
67Applause!
Good morning breakfastpoppers. Today is Tuesday, February 14th, 2012. It is time for the 68th weekly presentation of the PIP-POP Awards. Let's prepare some Cherry Squirts this morning for our traditional liquid breakfast.
You will need 2 ounces of Cherry Vodka, 2 ounces of lemonade, 1/2 ounce of triple sec and a cherry for garnish. Combine ingredients and shake with ice. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with the cherry. Put on your high hats and your boas and head for the theater. The "winners" are anxiously awaiting our arrival.
Welcome one and all. Let's begin the festivities on a high note. Sadly, it will be the only feel good award of the morning. Please welcome New York City Police officer Kevin Brennan and New York Giants defensive lineman Justin Tuck to the stage. Gentlemen, this will be a dual presentation of the coveted PIP Awards. Officer Brennan walked out of Bellevue Hospital just 10 days after being shot in the head by a gang member. Officer Brennan was sporting a replica of the jersey worn by New York Giant, Justin Tuck. When Officer Brennan pulled up to his home, a black escalade rolled up and out walked Justin Tuck. He came to show Officer Brennan support and that is an amazing gesture in the eyes of the PIP-POP committee. Both of you are receiving an award this morning. Officer Brennan for bravery in the line of duty and Justin Tuck for showing compassion and being a class act.
Moving along and downhill let's welcome House Minorrity Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) to the stage. You were recently asked whether or not you agreed with President Obama's new stance on SuperPacs. Your answer was quite simple. You said you didn't exactly know what his position was. It would behoove you to keep up on things, but lacking that let me tell you that he has changed his mind. Now he wants these SuperPacs, remember the ones he loathed, to raise money for him. Please accept this POP, Mr Hoyer, for being either being grossly out of touch or grossly disingenuous.
Our next recipient is the AFL-CIO. Will someone from the union please come to the podium? Please take this POP back to your leadership for paying CPAC protesters $60 to protest the event. None of these people had the foggiest idea what they were doing there. Perhaps a long time ago your union served a purpose, but I can assure you that time is passed and most of the American people would like to see you fade away. Take your POP and feel free to leave. None of us will be offended.
Our next to last award goes to Samuel L. Jackson. Please come up to the stage to accept your POP. You recently admitted that you voted for Pres. Obama because he was black. Not a great reason, but at least you were honest. You then went on a frightening rant to say that you hoped the president really gets "scary" if re-elected because he has nothing to worry about because he can't run again. That's not only a "scary' remark" but a "scary" thought as well.
Our last POP of the morning is awarded to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) for insisting that we don't need a budget because of the Budget Control Act. Let me point out to you, sir, that your argument doesn't stand up. The Act you are referring to only affects about one-third of total spending and it is filled with deliberate loopholes that render the caps meaningless. You aren't doing your job, sir, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
That's it, folks. We have come to the end of the show. Let's raise our Cherry Squirts on high and toast all the "winners". Until next week be well, be happy and be vigilant...PIP-PIP HOORAY...,POP GOES THE WEASELS...

Good Morning Tom,
Hoyer will never sound the same to me again. I may actually smile when I hear it. As for Harry, there will be no budget, because as he says, we don't need one! See you at the Inn. I am buying for one and all with money that actually exists!
POP: What a group of POP winners. Why does Harry Reid have the sole authority to stop a vote on anything, much less the annual budget? How many dictators do we have in Washington? Samuel L. Jackson has to be a nut. Wait until his income is affected by the ending of the Bush tax cuts and increases in his taxes. I wonder if he'll feel the same way. By the way, I lost all respect I had for him with that one statement. If I was a union worker, I would object that my dues are being spent in this manner. Not for political purposes, but if they had all this expendible income, they should reduce my dues. Justin Tuck has a lot of class to come see the policeman that was shot while wearing his shirt. As for the policeman, how lucky was he to be released in 10 days. I hope he fully recovers.
Now that I've finishes my Cherry Squirts, I need to get to the bar. Save me a seat...
Good Morning Pino,
Didn't you know, Reid is the man who would be King except for the fact that we already have one. As long as the Dems control the Senate all of this is an exercise in futility. Oh where oh where are all the PIPS? See you at the Inn. I'll save you a seat and I am buying with actual cash.
great awards. They started off well, but then disintegrated. Steny Hoyer (a stupid name if I ever heard one), do you think he read the health care bill? AFL-CIO - useless organization.. To Samuel Jackson, just shut-up and do you acting thing. (Not that I will ever pay to see you aact). And Reid, there must be something in the water in Nevada for this creep to get elected. Could be bad stuff from Yuca Flats, Nevada fromn the A bomb tests in the 50s. Anyway, I will now be off to the bar. BARTENDER..........
I don't think I can watch another Samuel Jackson film without feeling revulsion.
Good Morning taxlarry,
You may be on to something about Harry. Could he possibly get elected on his merit!!!!!
See you later at the Inn.
Good Morning francine,
United we stand! I'm with you. See you at the Inn. I'm heading there early.
Morning POP...Not only is Hoyer grossly out of touch and grossly disingenuous, he is grossly stupid...
Samuel Jackson is another flake with the IQ of an ice cube and a racist to the core...
Reid is beyond ridicule...He is a living caricature of himself...
See you at the tavern, Pop...I invited Brennan and Tuck to share a few brewskies...Larry
Good morning maven,
Inviting Brennan and Tuck was a terrific idea. I need to get the stench of the other "winners" off of me. See you soon.
Thanks for including that slime-ball Harry Reid in the awards today, Poppy. What a shame this man is being paid by the American people for his efforts while he ignores the law and thumbs his nose at the Constitution and the Flag. This man deserves to share a jail cell with someone who in interested in same-sex marriage. We waited 200+ years for this kind of leadership? Sad. WB
Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, and our famous Biden, ............ever notice how weird and unnatural people they are? I will never forget Reid saying we needed to keep money in the budget for the Cowboy poet convention..................these people all have screws loose inside!
Dear Wayne,
I find it hard to believe that real live people who haven't had their brains removed vote for him. That is very, very troubling. See you at the Inn.
Dear American Romance,
I agree, these people are held together with screws that have lost their threads and can no longer do the job. I'm off to the Inn and I'll save you a seat.
Gee Pop - please find me a Democrap who ever DID his job?! Sigh...They had control of both the Congress and the Senate in 2006, then they got their Messiah in 2009 and THEY STILL CAN'T PASS A BUDGET? What a bunch of dopey lug heads!
GREAT newsy award show - I didn't know a number of things and I loved your opening about the police officer and a football player who is a heck of a great guy! As usual, brilliant!!
Dear cjv,
Happy Valentine's Day! According to Harry Reid, we really don't need a budget. Budget's are constraining and annoying and we all know that Dems like to spend money we don't have. See you at the Inn.
it's nice to know there are still a few people around who command respect. Bravo to Officer Brennan and lineman Tuck. Thanks, bp, for reminding us.
BPOP - Wow! I'm at the Inn and missed the ceremony. Again well deserved awards. I'm beginning to wonder about the people in Maryland who keep sending an idiot like Steny back. Steny of "We don't need a budget." Reid said the same thing and the US Senate will once again obstruct the passing of a budget with the Democrats in charge. They don't want one because then they can continue all the excessive spending. They are now quite drunk on our money.
Sorry I was tardy!
The Frog
I am disappointed in Samuel Jackson's statement. I may not see him the same in movies anymore. They have a blank check budget in DC and there is no limit to how much they can spend. I would like to hear how they plan to stop the excessive spending. I think the AFL-CIO is outdated and should fizzle out.
Good Morning drbj,
My wish is that one day we will have an awards ceremony of all PIPS.
Good Morning Frog Prince,
Better late than never. As for all the fools (DEMS) in Congress who are content to squander our money and operate like outlaws...I long for the day when I can look at Washington and see that you are all gone. Stay at the Inn. I will be there soon.
Good Morning teaches,
Samuel Jackson's statement was more of a wild rant complete with words that would make your momma blush and cringe. I will never watch one of his films again. As for the unions, well they are nothing more than extortionists and should be forced out of existence.

Pop,
After Officer Brennan and Justin Tuck the class of "Winner" plummeted rapidly.
Hoyer, the name sounds like that lugie that stuck in my throat.
This was one of the better uses of AFL-CIO money.
I have been thinking the same thing as Sam Jackson.
C'mon Harry, show us the Senate can pass a budget, you don't have to live by it.
