An Apple Cider Shandy and the PIP-POP Awards
59Hoopla!
Good morning breakfastpoppers. Today is Tuesday, January 4, 2011. It's time for 16th weekly presentation of the PIP-POP Awards. We are expected at the theater in a little while so let's prepare our customary liquid breakfast. Today's selection is an Apple Cider Shandy. All you need to do is pour 6 ounces of any dark beer into a frosted beer mug. Take your time pouring the beer. Now top it off with 1 ounce of soft sparkling apple cider and you're good to go. See you at the theater.
Welcome everyone. Let us start the new year off with the presentation of our first POP Award. Please give a big breakfastpopper welcome to Chris Matthews or as we like to call him Mr. Tingly Leg. Chris, you were recently heard uttering the following words, "Hardball is absolutely nonpartisan". Now you're really scaring us Chris. Tingling was one thing, but this...this is just too much.
Our second "winner" of the morning is the Washington Post's very own Ezra Klein. When you appeared on MSNBC's Daily Rundown you mocked incoming Republicans for their "fixation" on the Constitution. You find the document quite confusing. The nominating committee finds your disdain for the Constitution shameful. Here's your POP and a pocket copy of the Constitution. Maybe someone at the paper can read it to you.
Our third POP recipient of the morning is CBS Evening News Anchor Katie Couric. The nominating committee watched you go off on a tangent the other day when you were discussing the "deep seething hatred against Muslims in America". You suggested that perhaps we needed a situation comedy about Muslims reminiscent of the Cosby show. We think that's a splendid idea and we encourage you to devote all of your time and money developing the concept. Sounds like a winner!
Our next honoree of the morning is President Obama's right hand gal, Valerie Jarrett. We all watched you on Meet The Press as you described President Obama's biggest regret of his presidency. Apparently, the president was tied to the White House because of the severity of the economic downturn, spending every waking hour in Washington focusing on the crisis. What President Obama really had his heart set on was traveling around the country and connecting with the people. Honestly, your words brought tears to my eyes. Valerie, if I may, I'd like to point out to you that the president has already spent nearly half of his presidency outside of Washington. Oh, one more thing, Valerie, we are still in crisis.
Our last and most important award is a PIP and it goes to all the breakfastpoppers out there who are so incredibly talented and so generous. Being a part of your community is both a privilege and a pleasure and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
PIP-PIP Hooray...POP Goes the Weasels....
Good morning Tom,
I think you just coined a great phrase. If I use it I will give you all the credit. Thanks and see you at the bar.
POP - Even after the Nov Election the lame stream media is a target rich environment for the POP Awards. While I can't say there are any surprises here what does amaze me is that any of them have any viewers at all. Advertisers throwing their money down a dark hole.
Any way I see a light on the trail ahead and it's the Inn so I'll keep the seats warm and the toddies hot!
Hi POP.... Oy vey, my head is spinning from all the stupidity. I think the worst offender is that Katie Couric. She is an empty bobblehead whose appeal jumped the shark many many years ago. It is beyond comprehension that these people who are supposedly charged with being objective news reporters actually believe their own b.s.
xx
Good morning Hmrjmr,
I long for the day when the POPs are hard to find. I can dream can't I? See you at the Inn. The Hot Toddy sounds inviting.
Good morning jellio,
I may change the awards to the B.S. awards. What do you think? See you at the Inn. Bring the 7 year old and the Binkie Toddler.
Thank you for the PIP and I will display it proudly. I just hear Ezra Klein on TV and how pathetic that he thinks the constitution he say written over 100 years ago is hard to understand and outdated. Mr Klien try well over 200 years ago and perhaps you should go back to school. I think Matthews must have build an addition on his house for all his POP awards and I hope its large because I see no end it sight! All awards were well deserved. I am looking forward to our discussion at the inn,
I saw that Couric soundbite, and O'Reilly pointed out that in the year 2009, there were only NINE reports of violence against muslims in NYC but over TWO HUNDRED hate crimes against Jews during the same time period. Guess the MSM will always see and accept only that of which THEY apporve!!
As for the dem HATRED for our constitution, I suggest they try to overthrow the document and replace it with a modern socialistic code for the nation, that is the kind of America they desire. I think we ALL know how the American people would feel were the dems to openly declare their secret war on the constitution. At least then, they would have to show their true faces to the people.
Seems to me BPop that CBS news is a sitcom. And I will give Matthews credit for inquiring about Obamas birth certificate.
Good morning Pamela,
I am so tired of all these people. They are the non-gifts that keep on disappointing. I will head for the Inn early. I can't wait to be in the company of people I admire.
Bravo. Great show. Encore! Encore!
Done only a Bpop can do.
Keep on hubbing!
Good morning Sheri,
Perhaps Klein and Couric would prefer Sharia law to the Constitution... See you at the Inn. By the way I did receive notification of your hub. I am headed over there now.
Dear tony,
You know I completely forgot about Matthews and the Birth Certificate. Maybe I should have given him a PIp too! See you at the Inn.
Dear eovery,
Bravo to you as well! See you at the Inn. Drinks are on me.
Pop, the weasels are getting quite the collection of awards, but hey they need their recognition. I'm for the "Bull Shit" awards, bronzed cow crap no two splats alike, that would give their trophy case a novel appearance and having grade A, B,and C awards of 1 pound half pound and quarter pound just like Burger king? It's Bloody Marys for me again, see you at the Inn, 50
Dear 50,
I love it, "no two splats alike"..... The Bloddy Marys are on me.
Good show today, Poppy. I find that Chris Matthews aids the digestive process...anytime I want to toss my cookies, I watch his show. I am amazed that someone as stupid as Ezra Klein can find work on a regular basis. If our centerline, our core, in America is not our Constitution, then what the hell is it? Here is an example of another idiot posing as an intellectual who writes newspaper columns...I love a good commie! Oh...Katie Couric...now we have truly moved into an area of intellect. Maybe Katie would like to check the stats on her conclusion about hate crimes and find out that considerably more individuals of other ethnicity suffered than did the Muslims. But I, like you, think she should throw her money totally into this project. I can't wait for the episode where they send the young boy out on his first car bombing...what a riot that will be. Much like we have embraced sexual perference through comedy, we can now desensitize America to terrorism simply by getting them to laugh about it. Think of the ratings a show like that could have...think of the public service that it could perform. Katie, you genius, you just bring tears to my eyes...you little bleeding heart munchkin! Oh and Valerie Jarret...she should get out of the house more herself and maybe then she might notice how much her boss is either on vacation or out on the golf links. Of course we have to remember that Valerie comes from the same thieves den back in Chicago and has a distorted perception of what the truth really is in most cases. But...she makes a good commie! Thanks again for another great award show! WB
POP: You are starting the year off quite well with the PIPS and POPs.
First, Thanks for my PIP. It will be displayed where everyone will be able to see it.
Second, the POP's were a great start to the year. Chris, Valerie and Katie must love chatting backstage, while they anticipate why they are being awarded this time!
As for Ezra Klein, I agree - the constitution is an old document - just like the bible. Maybe we should just update all old documents. That would be fun. Instead of Moses roaming around the desert for 40 years, he'll be jetting around the world for a few days, looking for a good place to settle down. I might just have a best seller on my hands.
Anyway, Hmrjmr is saving me a seat, so I'm off to the bar....
Good morning Wayne,
We are surrounded by commies and lunatics! To the bar and after we are all safely inside, barricade the doors!
Good morning Pino,
I was hoping that all the POPs would go away in 2011, but alas it is not to be. To the Inn, we are barricading the doors so the crazies can't get in.
I really look forward to this part of the week...sort of like a "History Lesson" and a sad one at that, but you make it fun...tongue and cheek...because if we didn't laugh a little, this all really is quite sad and painful for our country. It kind of reminds me of the show, many years ago, with David Frost, called "That was the Week That Was"...Thanks breakfastpop.
Then they wonder why the voters turned on them last November.
Good hub as usual.
Pop
Good start, old Wee-Wee- Leg; I do believe he believes "Hardball is absolutely nonpartisan". You see with this bunch of elitist such as Wee-Wee they believe their view represents Truth Justice and the American Way so it isn’t Partisan; it’s just so. All opposing views are so out there so absurd they represent bizarre world. They actually believe they aren’t partisan; just Right. Hopefully he’ll dehydrate soon from peeing so much while listening to Obama speeches and we’ll be rid of him!
What does Ezra Klein and MSNBC have in common; they both hate Republicans and they both hate the Constitution. What’s confusing is how no talent bums like Klein lay claim to the title journalists as well as institutions such as MSNBC remaining on the air under the auspices of being legitimate news entities instead of mere mouth pieces for the Obama Regime.
I think Curric is on to something except what is needed is a situation comedy about an Air Head who took over one of the 3 largest media Nightly News Broadcast and drove it so far into the sewer that it’s rating barely reach single digits; how did she accomplish such a feat; was it sheer luck or where her lack of skills so complete she naturally took the network down without trying; Inquiring Minds Wanna Know!
Valerie Jarrett, now there’s a Glittering Jewel of Colossal Ignorance. Not since Rosie O’Donnell has anyone defended this Karl Marx Look Alike of a President with such visceral hatred for his opponents and such a No Clue View of the World!
Well; that’s all folks……….Rah a-ta-ta-ta-ta-tah- ta-a-ta-ta-ta…..
Good morning WillStarr,
Honestly, I don't think "they" have a clue about the mid-term elections. It's incredible, isn't it? To the Inn. We'll circle the wagons and barricade the doors!
All very deserving honorees. Klein, Couric, Matthews and Jarret should all be shown their respective doors and get out. It's at the point that they are all anti America and need to hear their own voice. I am sick of their voices. Get out! BARTENDER.........
Good morning Patriot,
Gosh, I love it when your a bit riled up. Head directly for the Inn. The crazies are all around us and we have to barricade the doors!
Good morning taxlarry,
You know that is exactly how I feel. I am sick of all of them and I want them to "get out". To the Inn. We're barricading the doors so the likes of Matthews and Couric can't get in!
Good Morning! The POP's were well-deserved, and the PIP was kindly given out... the comments, however... I'm still wiping the up the Bloody Mary from where I snorted it out my nose at Patriot's "Wee-wee leg" comment!
I know, you've warned me before about drinking and reading.... POP to me for not listening.
I'll meet you at the Inn- I'm bringing several 2x4's to help with the barricade!
Morning POP...Another great and well-deserved awards ceremony...See you at the tavern after I dig out from under this snow...Larry
Good afternoon sueroy,
I read and drink at the same time all the time. I don't take my own advice. Thanks so much for the 2X 4's. These "people" are relentless and dangerous.
Good afternoon maven,
I think it is now called global cooling. See you at the Inn. i can send a team of dogs and a sled to you if you need them. Drinks are on me.
All these misguided, even ludicrous POP winners are enough to turn one's stomach, BP. I think I'll skip breakfast today.
POP, I broke out the keg for the awards, seems one bottle wouldn't do. I didn't realize Curric was still on the air, I thought they moved her to desk duty on the comedy channel.....Pelosi's last day...that is worth celebrating.
Good morning drbj,
Sorry about the upset. I have some Pepto!
Good morning jiberish,
It is very difficult to look at Katie, much less write about her. As for Pelosi, this morning I heard her say that she and her fellow Dems have worked tirelessly to reduce the deficit. What is she smoking?
While I like 50 Caliber's "two splats" idea (a lot), my vote is for you to keep the POP tag on the awards. Lots of folks pitch B.S., but only you (so far as I know) put the POP into the weasels. Keeps the series distinctive!
About Pompous Pelosi, we just need to understand Nancy-speak. "Reduce the deficit" translates in plain English to "Tax the fools faster than we can spend their money." Which is of course an impossibility, but then so is understanding the now FORMER Speaker of the House by any rational, reasoning human being.
Chris Matthews? Again, a facility for foreign languages helps a lot. All that "Hardball is absolutely nonpartisan" means in Tingly-talk is "Anything I say about my own show is true because I say it."
Simple stuff.
Good morning Ghost,
Rest easy, I am keeping the POP in the awards. As for the winner's, having you interpret the stuff that spews from their mouths is very helpful.

Pop,
Great awards as usual. The POP "weiners" and the PIP winners are all deserving!!!!!!!!!!!!
