The Polished Princess and the PIP-POP Awards
59Congratulations!
Good morning breakfastpoppers. Today is PIP-POP Tuesday, November 29, 2011. As we speak, the "winners" are gathering in the theater, readying themselves for the 57th weekly presentation of the coveted PIP-POP Awards. Without further delay, let's prepare our customary liquid breakfast, don our best clothes and head for the show.
This morning we will be mixing together a wonderful autumn cocktail known as The Polished Princess. You will need 1 and 1/2 ounces vanilla vodka, 5 cranberries, a pinch of pumpkin spice, 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice, 3/4 ounce simple syrup and 1 egg white. In the bottom of a mixing glass, muddle the cranberries and spice in the simple syrup and lemon juice. Now add remaining ingredients and shake. Add ice and shake again. Finish off by straining the mixture into a chilled martini glass and add three floating cranberries for garnish. Now get dressed and get going. The presentations are about to begin.
Welcome one and all. Let's begin the festivities by welcoming Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) to the stage to receive our first award. The committee had great difficulty deciding what type of award to honor you with. On the one hand you deserve a POP for bringing us the housing balloon and destroying our economy. Then the committee tinkered around with the idea of awarding you with a PIP for putting us all out of our misery by deciding to finally step down. In the end, sir, a compromise was reached. Please accept the first ever PLOP Award. Thank you and may we wish you an early and speedy good-bye.
Our second "winner" of the morning hails from the Occupy Just About Everything crowd. Please welcome their spokesman who has decided to come up to the stage with his jacket wrapped around his head. Please accept this POP Award for coming up with the brilliant idea to launch Occupy Xmas. Your goal seems to be to destroy the holiday in the hopes that doing so will destroy the evil corporations and the evil rich people. May you succeed just as well as you did with Occupy Black Friday!
Let's keep the theme the same for the moment by welcoming a member of the Occupy movement who is trying to launch a movement among the protesters whereby they all pledge to refuse to pay back their student loans. Will the young man or woman with the paper bag over their head please come up to the stage to to receive your POP? If you decide not to pay back your loans, we suggest you do so because your education was worthless. Clearly, you got nothing out of it and you certainly didn't have to go to college to learn how to sleep in a tent, get high and bang on drums.
Let's shift our attention away from the Occupiers and turn to President Obama who occupies the White House. Will a representative of the Re-elect The President Campaign come on up to the stage? I don't know why, you too, have a paper bag over your head but let's just work around that. Please accept this award for coming up with the electrifying idea to sell martini glasses and coasters in an effort to raise billions of dollars for the president's re-election campaign. I see you are sticking to the old adage that says, "When you can't lead, merchandise".
Let's close out the ceremony by asking Jay Carney to come to the stage to accept our last POP that bears the name of President Obama. Mr. Carney, we all know who you are, so please take your jacket off of your head. Add this POP to the growing collection in the Oval office. Except for a few atheists and the ACLU, many citizens were saddened to note that the president failed to thank God in his weekly address devoted to Thanksgiving. I'm not saying we were surprised, I am just saying we were saddened.
On this rather somber note, let's raise our Polished Princesses on high and toast the "winners". Until we meet again. PIP-PIP HOORAY...POP GOES THE WEASELS...

Well Poppy, the Occupy crowd really gets it, huh? They take taxpayer money loaned in good faith for an education which they basically over-spent to get, refuse to pay the loan and do so in the name of the "evil corporations" which have taken over America. Try using that as an alibi next time the cops take you downtown for questioning. The dots don't connect very well. You've probably seen the one sign held up by the woman who claimed to have spent $96K to get a BA in Transgender Gay & Lesbian Studies and now cannot find a job? Duh? She really should have gone more to the technical side and got that degree in underwater basketweaving...much more employable. I don't know about you, but I would not want a person on my staff that was that devoid of common sense...how do you get tnrough the day...I know...in a tent! LOL! WB
Great awards to some who deserve to be awarded more than a California Howdy. See you at the inn I hear they're having free bubble-up and rainbow stew and my scrap metal bluegrass band will be there if we can wade through those who are attempting to occupy the tavern.I won't have my bald head covered but will be wearing my red boggin.
Good morning taxlarry,
Wow, your view of the "movement" gives new meaning to the PLOP! See you at the Inn. I'll save you a seat and have your Jack waiting.
Good morning Wayne,
Actually, if employers and head hunters could just get the names of all these Occupiers it would spare business the wasted time of ever interviewing them. Oh wait, I forgot. None of these high minded folks would ever consider working for an evil corporation. It is so much more rewarding to lay around in a tent and get high. See you at the Inn.
Dear Fiddleman,
Don't worry, the breakfastpoppers will clear the way and protect your back. They'll be no Occupiers at the Inn. See you later.
Pop,
Great group of awards to very deserving "winners". I love your creativity and civility with the PLOP. I would probably stooped to crudeness for Mr. Frank.
Kudo's to Gov. Christie for calling out the POTUS for not stooping to a "lost cause" of the "Super"committee.
I almost forgot, when I heard the name of the drink I figured our former house speaker was the topic.
Good morning Tom,
I agree about Christie. He is truly a breath of fresh air. See you at the inn.
POP:
If anyone deserves a PLOP, it is Barney Frank! It's probably not the last. I'm still laughing. These "Occupy Everything" people will not be happy when they wake up and need to be hired by someone. Just the thought that they would not pay back their student loans will come back to haunt them when they try to get a mortgage, car loan, etc.
Great ceremony, nevertheless. I'll see you later at the tavern. Save me a seat......
Good morning Pi,
I think the Occupiers have discovered that they love hanging around and getting free food supplied by the unions. Why work? It could get exhausting. See you at the Inn!
POP: Just for the record, Pi is also Pino Krisio! I did something wrong when entering my name. Actually, I like Pi - makes me think I'm a mathematical wizard!
Dear Pino,
Pi! I thought I had a new follower! In any case, whether it's Pi or Pino, I love sharing breakfast with you.
Hi Pop, seems like not much has changed but I laughed my ass off "Plop" a good award and cheap, unique, no two alike, best picked up in the heat of summer while they are dry and the cattle have moved on so they loose the smell of an Occupy,crap,and piss where you sleep movement area, and sadly that's no joke. People have told me these occupy people have a message if there was one I couldn't hear it because all I could hear was the smell, just sad sad sad, I'm getting ready to raise the drawbridge and batten down the hatches as I can make no sense out of all this craziness flying around it has ceased to be amusing and is now getting dangerous these days and I don't think people are taking this as serious as it is getting to be. It sorta reminds me of a guy named Noah and makes me wonder about the folks who laughed and found their-selves, treading water or while it was just knee deep pounding on the hull of Noah and his families ship to the new world, wanting in before the feast of the sharks began.
I think this may be the era of the shark and America might fall to an unrecognizable state of being by 2016.
Obama is getting lauded for his ability to get things done in the dark and off the radar. I find this no surprise as he seems to have risen from the dark and little is still known of his early years. His proficiency of operating well on issues ala CIA style rings loudly as he has been charged with a back ground of holding a position with that very organization during the years he was at Columbia U.
It is hard to know what the truth is but easy to see we are spiraling downward as the laughing stock of the world.
I hope you enjoyed your time away, I had fun being gone and ignored the news past my stop off in Sacramento and over to Oakland to see first hand what kind of folks occupied those two places. Plop was plentiful......

Dear 50,
It is great to see you at the breakfast table. You must have been up to your ears in PLOP when you stopped by the Occupiers. I have to say that I agree with you. This movement is far more dangerous than it appears. It is being fueled by people who would love to see violence in the streets. It is time to batten down the hatches. You are in the best position of all to do exactly that. I'd love to see you at the Inn, if you are close enough to get there.
Good morning tom,
Great to share breakfast with you. See you at the Inn.
Rated Up.
The student loan system needs to be redesigned, although people should be paying their loans if at all possible. But scammers use the system against people that pay as well -- With only $1300 left on my loan after my employer went out of business, I received a bill for over $75,000 and extremely threatening phone calls many times daily from a "collection company." A class action suit of some sort was waged and the company disappeared. What's disturbing is that the company had been doing REAL collections work for the student loan system as well as pressing their scams.
I hate problems with "student loan consolidations" as well, specifically that students are sometimes led to believe consolidations were enacted, but none were actually done - so a bill several times their expectations shows up. I advise students to take as few loans as possible, but I remember that one grant I accepted required a loan to go with it - I think that's a racket.
If 'loan forgiveness after 20 years' of all this nonsense in the system is offered to hard working people that pay their bills, I'd take it. Those that don't even try to make a living should be forced to do so legally somehow - but I don't think it will happen.
Dear Patty,
I agree, so many things that occur in the business of student loans have to be corrected, but walking away from obligations that are legitimate shouldn't be tolerated. My daughter and son-in-law owed $250,000 in student loans combined for law school and some undergrad on his part. They paid it off by living very frugally and being extremely responsible. See you at the Inn. We need to catch up. I've missed you.
That's what I say, pay it off and get the undeserved racketeering add-on interest out of it.
And I've missed you and your Pip-Pop and now-Plops!
Hi Pop! I didn't get to welcome you back yesterday, so I will do it today. Welcome Back!!
Great awards ceremony. I like that PLOP award! Ha ha ha!!!
All recipients were well deserving!
Dear Patty,
Where are you? I am saving you a seat at the Inn!
Barney Frank can see the writing on the wall, and he knows that the Dems will stay the House minority in 2012, meaning he won't be the bully boy he used to be, so he's taking his toys and going home.
LSWGB,
Barney Frank .. what a dick. Obama couldn't.. awww, never mind. Can't add anything to the obvious. The awards ceremony was handled perfectly Patti.
I've got a ball buster coming up. Ain't gonna be purdy. I've also got a real doozy busting Cain on his handeling of the butt grabbing and infidelity issues. Guy really disappointed me, not because he may or may not have grabbed ass, but because of the pussy way he's dealing with it. He missed a perfect opportunity to put a dark cloud over the Obama camp, and put this thing away once and forever. Better we find out now than after he faced Obama to find out he really isn't a problem solver of the highest order. I'll take some heat, but I can cover it. No problem.
It's just really good to have you and Scotty back kiddo!

Good morning Dexter,
It's great to see you at the breakfast table. As for the PLOP. sometimes a POP just doesn't cut it!
Good morning Will,
He will most likely end up at Fannie or Freddie! I don't think he is quite finished damaging our economy.
Good morning Big Bro,
You have piqued my interest. I can't wait to read your piece. Its good to be back. I missed you!
I can't image any group more deserving of POP awards than this one. It is really a sad commentary on where our country stands and where it seems to be headed. Great hub POP.
See you at the inn
Dear Pamela,
I honestly think we are in serious trouble. I'll save you a seat at the Inn.
Your new PLOP award ia a stroke of genius, bp. But of course, I am not surprised, my dear. Barney whatshisname was the perfect first recipient.
So, who had the idea Occupy White House? or has that one already been done?
Dear drbj,
Should I change the awards to the PIp-Pop-Plops? It may be the right direction I should take in light of the mess we are in because of the idiots who make decisions for us. Are you already at the Inn? I can't seem to find you. Wave a white napkin!!!
Dear FitnezzJim,
Obama and the First Lady have that avenue covered. See you at the Inn.
POPs,
your wrong Barry and michelle are the Un -Occupy the White House- every chance they get the run out of there to golf vacation or bad mouth our country...

Dear tom,
I stand corrected!

A PLOP award? WOW! As usual, the "winners" were perfect. To me, the Occupy movement is nothing more than a large bowel movement. Just a bunch of s#$%. Fab awards. Let's meet at the bar to celebrate and talk about the "winners." BARTENDER...........
