A Grapehound and the PIP-POP Awards
49Celebration!
Good morning breakfastpoppers. Today is Tuesday, January 24, 2012. It is time for the 64th weekly presentation of the coveted PIP-POP Awards. Let's prepare our customary liquid breakfast, don our most fabulous clothes and head for the theater. This weeks "winners" are anxiously awaiting our arrival.
This morning we will be preparing a Grapehound. You will need 2 ounces of grape vodka, 4 ounces of grapefruit juice and a splash of grenadine. Simply mix all ingredients in a glass with ice and garnish with a lime wedge. See you at the theater.
Welcome everyone. Let's begin this morning's festivities by inviting our first POP winner to the stage. Will a representative from the Carnival Corporation please come up to the podium to receive your POP? It has been reported that in response to the tragedy aboard the Costa Concordia you are offering the victims 30 percent off future cruises. Something tells me that they are going to be looking for a bit more than that. Are you serious?
Our next POP presentation goes to union members who are contemplating whether or not they should disrupt the Super Bowl game in response to a upcoming legislative vote that would make Indiana a "right-to-work" state. It is our understanding that you were thinking about getting the Teamsters to block city streets with trucks and asking electricians to stage a "showdown" at the game. I don't know who the genius is who thought of this tactic, but you all deserve this POP bearing the union label.
We have one more POP to present and then it is on to the PIPS. This next award is being presented to the Occupy San Francisco protesters. You have earned this award for occupying an abandoned hotel and proceeding to attack police by hurling bricks and Bibles at them. Your mentor Nancy Pelosi must be so proud of you, especially when you chose to urinate on a cross.
It is with great pleasure that I welcome Rep. Allen West to the stage. Thank you sir, for blasting Harry Reid by stating that he stands for fiscal insanity and that the Tea Party stands for fiscal responsibility. Please accept this PIP with our gratitude.
Our last award of the morning is a PIP. I never thought I would see this day, but let's welcome uber liberal Bob Beckel of "The Five" to the stage. You said a mouthful when you stated that liberals made a huge mistake going back 30 years when they created programs like welfare and public housing because the end result was the formation of a dependent society. This may be the only PIP you ever receive, but you earned it for having the courage to tell it like it is.
That's it folks. We need to call it a day and thank the "winners" for yet another enjoyable show. Let's raise our Grapehounds on high. Until next week...PIP-PIP HOORAY...POP GOES THE WEASELS...

Pop,
Great selections of "Winners". I'm surprised Carnival didn't offer FREE BURIAL AT SEA FOR THE FATALITIES!!!!
Good luck on the labor action at the Super Bowl. All the members want to watch the game.
Kudo's on Beckel's PIP.
Don't forget to watch the King tonight. You should be able to get material for a years worth of Fairy Tale Fridays.
Good Morning taxlarry,
Carnival has to be insane, don't you think? I have to say, I can't believe Beckel made such an admission. In any case, I agree, he is hard to take. See you at the Inn.
Good Morning Tom,
I can't believe the unions think screwing up the Super Bowl would win them friends. Well stupid is as stupid does. As for Carnival, they are as naive as the unions. See you at the Inn.
POP: Nice ceremony!YOu looked exceptionally beautiful today - Is it because Beckel was in the wings?
The CEO of Carnival won't even get involved - he says it's up to Italy. - What is wrong with him? The "winners" of the unions in Indiana will have trouble blocking the streets, etc. because they are all football fans themselves! The Occupy San Francisco protestors need to be asked why they are trying to injure people? If only they could see themselves! As for Allan West, he'sa real man to stand up to the antics of Harry Reid and the rest of the empty suits. And last but not least, Bob Beckel deserves this PIP although he is probably kicking himself for actually saying it!
I'm off to the bar - Save me a seat....
Good morning breakfast pop!! The unions are out of control and are acting like brats. Their plan could be a union buster on its own. Carnival - another genius at the helm. And afterBob Beckel made the statement he went on to say that gov't should fix the problem. Dude gov't CAUSED the problem ....... Here's to the pip-pop meister !
Good Morning Pino,
Thanks for the compliment but it definitely wasn't Beckel I was trying to please. The CEO of Carnival should have his head examined along with the Captain. The occupiers should take up residence at Pelosi's vineyard and Allen West should be running for president. See you at the Inn. I need to fortify myself to withstand the SOTU.
Good Morning Lynn,
I did say that Beckel's time in the sun would be short-lived, but I never realized if would be this short! See you at the Inn. I'll save you a seat.
The "occupy" morons paid back the church which offered them shelter, by urinating on the floor and a cross!
There's no honor among Obama's far left.
Good Morning Will,
Where is Obama now? Where are all the fools like Pelosi who called this movement the expression of freedom? Hiding perhaps...See you at the Inn. I need a safe haven from all of these people.
More to the point, where is the mass media, reminding us that both Obama and Pelosi supported the the far-left Occupy Movement?
Radio personalities last night said to put all the Occupiers on the Costa Concordia. But, it sounds like Occupy Super Bowl is next. Should be an interesting year, as the Chinese say.
BPOP - Bob Beckel? Sometimes, but not very often, old Bobby Boy actually says something that makes sense. Harry Reid has done nothing but obstruct this last session of Congress. He remains in a severe pout about his precious party losing the last election. Wait until this next election and he might become comatose. That wouldn't be a bad thing since he is already brain dead.

Pop, seems like carnage evil splitting the words to get a boat out of port has worked well, a bad thing on deaths but I do find some humor in the whole thing but I'm a sick individual, ask anybody who plays in the shadows.
Now Colonel West is presidential material, a great VP to get a win.
As for the super bowl is that not a giant commode full of turds who can't pay their bills waiting for the chrome handle salute?
The bar is where you'll find me, 50
Hi, bp - I know that accepting that 30% discount from Carnival seems like very little recompense but it may be the only thing those passengers will be entitled to. There was fine print in their boarding documents that indicated any future suits would be brought before and settled in Italy by Italian courts. Expenses for such suits could be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Dear Will,
The mass media is dead, dead and gone. Yesterday, Andrea Mitchell announced that Romney's Mexican family came here illegally. No need for her to check the truth of such a statement. Mitchell is wrong, of course, in the same way the media's praise of the protests was wrong. Wrong is in, right is wrong, I guess.
Another excellent show, Poppy...can't believe Beckel is looking inward! LOL! WB
Dear Patty,
I need a calm year, even if it is somewhat uninteresting. See you at the Inn.
Dear Frog Prince,
I know, I know. Most of the time, Beckel makes me want to blow a hole in my television. But the award is all about being fair and balanced. See you at the Inn.
Dear 50,
So how do you really feel? By the way, your comment on my hub yesterday was re-instated. How's that for freedom of speech! See you at the Inn.
Dear drbj,
Oh well, they're screwed a second time. See you at the Inn.
Dar Wayne,
I suppose even Beckel has his moments, but I don't think it lasts very long. See you at the Inn.
A great read and has to be awarded that up up and away
Take care;
Eddy.
I beg to differ, POP, the only thing Bob Becket, other than permanent retirement, is his suspenders.
Wonder what the awards would look like? Maybe a raised middle finger and an eye wink.
Dear Eiddwen,
Thanks so much for your presence and your support. See you at the Inn.
Dear vrajavala,
Those suspenders make me twitch. See you at the Inn.
Dear ricksterK,
Maybe it's time to redesign the awards.Thanks for the idea. See you at the "virtual" Inn for fun and relaxation.

What the fine print in the Carnival Cruises discount offer is that the offer is only good for a cruise on the Costa Concordia. Indiana should be a right to work state just to give a big F U to the unions. The hell with the Occupy morons. PIP PIP hooray for Alan West. I am not impressed with Beckl. I get just as sick looking and hearing him as I do from looking at and hearing Obumma. I am ready to go to the bar. BARTENDER..................
