You Call These Servants?

· Monday, July 18, 2011

In the land of the blind, it's said that the one-eyed man is king. In our own land, it seems that hypocrisy trumps sight. Americans, whose ancestors fought a war to free themselves of monarchs, now find themselves under the thumb of kings, queens, dukes and earls, who deign to pass themselves off as public servants.

Consider that in spite of a dire economy, Obama keeps adding White House staff. The number of fetch-and-carriers is now 454, at a cost to the taxpayers of $37 million-a-year. So, how about the next time the Obamas decide to host a gala for the well-heeled likes of Tom Hanks, Paul McCartney and Jerry Seinfeld, the guests at least pay for their own drinks?

On top of that, the taxpayers had to pony up $800,000, so that Michelle, her mom and the kids, could take a trip to Africa. No doubt they were anxious to see where Barack wasn't born.

I can't even count high enough to figure out what it's costing us to finance Obama's travels around the country so he can do the all-important work of campaign fund-raising.

Speaking of Obama, the Boston Globe, which even Chris Matthews can't dismiss as a conservative smear sheet, recently came up with the news that Barack Obama, Sr., a notorious womanizer, tried to foist baby Barack off on the Salvation Army. So now, at long last, we actually know what his father's dreams amounted to; not really all that different from Casey Anthony's, it seems.

But, God knows, Barack Obama isn't the only hypocrite holding down a good-paying job in Washington. What's ironic is that politicians spend a few trivial hours with prostitutes and it ruins their reputations and sinks their careers, but they spend half their lives being wined and dined by lobbyists, and all it does is increase their chances of getting re-elected.

Come to think of it, it's the prostitutes who have congressmen as clients who should be ashamed. One just naturally expects them to have higher standards than our elected officials.

I wouldn't want you to get the idea that ours are the only politicians who should be horse-whipped in the public square on a regular basis. In the wake of Eric Holder's latest calamity, the ATF debacle code-named "Fast and Furious," which saw scores of guns sent to south of the border drug cartels, Mexican politicians have been bitching about our ignoring Mexico's sovereignty. This is the same country that has spent decades doing all it can to encourage their poor, their illiterate and their criminals, to treat our sovereignty with the same respect one normally extends to used piƱatas.

Recently, I wrote an article in which I made fun of gays for inventing a mental disorder they call homophobia as a way of demeaning those people who oppose same-sex marriages or are merely sick and tired of Gay Pride parades disrupting traffic. I don't happen to know anyone who has an irrational fear of homosexuals. In the piece, I stated that gays were the only group that had the chutzpah to suggest that questioning their behavior was tantamount to a mental derangement.

Well, a reader reminded me that there is something Muslims and the media like to call Islamophobia. In rebuttal, though, I pointed out that Islamists are ignorant, blood-thirsty cretins, and there is nothing irrational about being terrified of these sociopathic Neanderthals. They are creatures, barely human, after all, who have apparently decided that having explosives surgically implanted in their bodies is one swell way of expressing their religious faith.

Finally, a question I am often asked is how it is that such arrogant, unappealing men, with such obnoxious personalities and grating voices, as Charles Schumer, Barney Frank, Harry Reid and Henry Waxman, can convince so many people to keep re-electing them. The simple answer is that they're running against other politicians, who generally suffer from similar shortcomings.

It also explains why women who look and sound like Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Sheila Jackson Lee and Hillary Clinton, have been able to achieve such status and power in the wacky world of politics.

But, to me, the truly amazing thing about these females is that, against all odds, their husbands weren't devoured immediately after mating.

Burt - this has been going around for some time, but it should be repeated. Let us analyze what politician means. Poly is many and tics are blood suckers. So many blood suckers. I guess that sums it up pretty well.

Very nice Burt! I have mentioned before that I distinctly remember Nixon being required to repay the Government for the cost of a 1st class ticket anytime his wife or daughter flew on Air Force One, even with him! And the media kept close tabs on it.

Obama reminded us the other day that we should let the "professional politicians" worry about the debt ceiling - "thats what they are paid to do".

And there's the rub - they are paid well, and they take the job as a profession -- and they have the audacity to call it "service".

We need a lot more service and lot less of the professional politicians.

Speaking of females in politics, did you see Hillary on the news last night? Is it just me, or did her hair look like crap to you too? We're paying her a huge salary so I'm pretty sure she can afford shampoo and maybe trim that skanky mane of hers.

You mentioned prostitutes, but what you didn't say is that our elected 'servants' are the biggest prostitutes of all. They sell themselves to lobbyists and most likely to more than one at a time. The only thing missing is the mattress.

I have to wonder just how much agony we would have to endure to DEMAND that these politicians be taken down several notches? Cut their pay. Don’t allow them the wonderful health care they currently receive, and deny their retirement benefits. Cut out the gym and all the benefits, including and especially limousine service. They already believe they are celebrities because of this. We should not allow all of the perks they are currently receiving. This is outlandish and ridiculous.

The regular taxpayers and citizenry cannot afford these things. We are told to "tighten our belts".

I have to then wonder just how many patriots would then remain in congress. Few and far between.

The question is, can the people do this? Why can’t we vote on the pay raises these leeches receive? Why can’t the people have say so in these benefits? Who decides this? If they do, isn’t that a conflict of interest?

Can anyone really stop this?

Burt---good aritcle. Kathy(same name as my wife) I agree on Hillery. That bring's up the question of Bill's activity with Monica, and Burt's assesment with being devoured. I do have to admit that I agree with Bill's idea of oral sex, but disagree with Burt's idea of devouring it. As far as the prostitue theory you are also correct however with a prostitute the effect is shoter lived where as the Servant it's forever, something to do with the value of the dollar I guess. Being a Marine and serving in Okinawa in 1965 I understand the meaning of inflation. At that time when you went to the "ville" a so called short-time was $2.00, and drink's were $.25. After being de-ployed to Viet Nam for 18months and returning to Okinawa for preperation to the States the prices were $5.00 and $1.00 respectivly. Upon returning to Viet Nam in 1967 for another 12month tour and back again to Okinawa, the price's were $10.00 and $2.00. I guess there were alot of guy's thinking it may be their last bang, and were willing to pay, kind of like what's going on now in congress now. Having been"up down and all around", thing's are starting to look familuar. Now for my problem Burt. I was going to address this to the "Ann Lander's" column but you seem to be the only contributor to the Post who answer's the commen't of the commenter's. Wife's daughter #2 is a Lawyer of eight years and is a legal assistant to a Federal Judge of three years. She and her husband bought a house a year ago. They sold a white elephant Town House after two years on the market for a loss of $28.000 dollars to a couple of other lunk heads. They bought another home and were in need of $10.000thousnd dollars more. She asked my wife if I would loan her the money--as I'm sitting on a five figure cash supply--and they would pay it back in three years. At the time the husband was going to sell his "golf' clubs and his %300dollar plus softball bat, he does alot of that. I agreed to go %5000, provided he ask his parent's for the same. I was against the whole thing in the first place, but after having been reasured, by my wife she was good for it, I said yes. I gave the wife the money and she took it up to her, on Fathers Day last year, so I would remember when I was getting my money back. Since then they have bought a newer car, the husband goes on golf and softball tournaments about every weekend and they just got back from a week in Vegas because the hubby has never been there. I now hear they "might need to borrow some money". Isaid "might" because thats the prelude to "I need to". I have been "up and "down" and now I'm comfortable and I fear a reprisal. Jeez, this is starting to sound like our current debt crises, but mine is real. As the saying goes--"Dear Burt, what I do"?

Burt---I thank you very much for the advise, that I have already chosen. I can't help myself but I do crack myself-up. The situation I mentioned is real. It kind of reminds me of the radio conversation on a U.S Naval vessel--the radio crackles and a voice comes on and says "you have to change course 15degrees to star-board". The captain replys "negative--change your course 15degrees to starboard". The reply comes back "negative you change course 15degrees to starboard". The captain replys "this is a United States Ship of War, now change course immediately--who is this"? Reply "this is the lighthouse mate". I just love parabels and analagies, its so reflective of what is happening. Oh, I forgot to mention that my situation reminds me of the "BOHICA" theory. Thanks!

Thank you---S3AV8R and GordAuch. Sorry Burt,Thought you would know that one. The trick is to keep it from becoming a syndrom, and a favorite practice of the queer community. To bad I can't offer some helpful quips to you before you do your articles. I find a little humor in these times, makes the situation more 'palatable'.

Burt Prelutsky

Marine, S3AV8R & GordAuch: Hard to believe that so many people know about a term that I never heard before. Speaking of which, I assume that "AV8R" refers to Aviator. Does the "S3" have a special meaning? All these codes to break, so little time.

Burt: You're getting into the realm of military slang. See also "Whiskey Delta." This is a descriptive term for Obozo and others like him. Marine, S3AV8R, and GordAuch know what I mean.

Jezz, Burt, I’m glad you clarified that it’s the one-eye man who would be King, not the one-eyed monster. I don’t want you to meet the untimely fate of Mark Halperin, although King Obama obviously is a dick. At the Capitol Grille, our servants are packing their pie holes and ordering up double desserts, leaving us little people nary a crumb. In fact, they’ve eaten themselves all the way to Thanksgiving and will soon be sending us the bill. I am sure Michele Obelvinperrybutt and the young’uns learned much from their bloodthirsty cousins, the Odingas, about organic gardening and creating compost from the remains of your enemies. So while Barack is trying to shove his square policies down the round throats of our Congressional Cowards, Michele is over in her garden trying to figure out how to get a carrot in the cornhole. I can only imagine how the husbands of Nancy, Barbara, and the lovely, articulate Sheila have survived, but I know for a fact that Hillary will not eat Bill.

It’s rather pleasurable to contemplate how different our world might be if Hilary had responded postively as any self-respecting Black Widow would have done.

In lieu of a direct response from S3AV8R, Burt. One possiblity. The S3 was a Navy twin jet anti-submarine aircraft.

It amazes me the twists and turns the comments take. That's why I always read all of them. No other commentator and those who comment on the commentator are as entertaining as our beloved Burt and followers.

Thanks again for the insight and humor from all.

Perhaps they never mated with their husbands???

OK Burt. Go to military slang on google and you will become en-lightened. May come in handy when referring to future events, that some of us derranged vets can relate to. Funny how humor can change a person under the most adverse conditions, such as combat, or govt. control. S3A also know as a 'Viking'. I gave up on trying to identify peoples names, but gotta love that ABU NUDNIK.

Robert of Prague

Burt;

Another gem of writ, especially re: the high standards of whores v/ politicos. Of course, they do.

Re: the Islamo-fascists, the most imbecile belief of theirs is that after the detonation there await them virgins in burqas & paradise. I consider it a fact they go straight into Gehenna, Tartarus, or simply put, into the deepest hell. Most likely, on the menu are pig skins & & on the rotten mattress lay goats.

Kathy, tnx for a new slang word in my vocabulary: skanky. Re: Hillary & her NOW sis'; not only the mane but the entire creature is a skank. No wonder Bill is cheating on her. As I mentioned here before, where I come from, we say, just looking at her makes me impotent. Nuff said.

Posted July 19, 2011 at 8:38:46 PM


Burt Prelutsky

Deborah: Thanks for the "beloved." Very much appreciated.

DaneChile: Your comment reminds me of a line I read in some novel. When someone questions the paternity of a child born to a female character who's reminscent of one of these left-wing harridans, the response is, "But who was the mother?"

Kathy: I knew the word before Robert of Prague, but I have never thought to use "skank" in connection with the loony ladies of the Left. I plan to mend my ways in the future.
