Barker's Newsbites: Thursday, July 28, 2011


Hey... do you folks remember the Cowsills?

Here... does that help?

Or how'bout this one...?! (By the way... one of my favorite, favorite, favorite songs - "theme" or otherwise - of all time...!)

Well, Mary, Carl, and I saw them perform live at BB King's last night; they were great...!

But, hey... isn't wasn't just them... A Fragile Tomorrow (aka: "The Nephews"; "The Boys") opened for them!

It was a great night out... (expensive... but great...)!

Nor and Ryan showed - along with Ryan's cousin; Paul and Jeannie were there... in all their glory; Cupcake Girl + Sister of Cupcake Girl + Parents of Cupcake Girl made the trip down from... er... scenic Walden, NY.

(*CHUCKLE*)

See, folks... even for Bill it ain't "politics all the time."

That said...

John Boehner is a fool and a traitor. Each and every Republican member of the House who supports Boehner in today's betrayal must be primaried.

* Carl - Get ready to write some hefty checks over the next year!

* Mary - I may be calling upon you and Ted as well.

* John H. - Stand by... I know you've sacrificed a great deal over the years in support of our ideals, but if push comes to shove you're simply going to have to step into the breach yet again.

* Frank - "The Common Sense Party" won't be able to sit this one out. You disappointed me in not challenging (and beating) Eddie... the days when men of goodwill had the luxury of refusing to combat the forces of deceit and self-interest are over. You're a father; the kids... the grandkids... you can't let 'em down, buddy.

* Nan... I can't believe you're this gullible... it's either that or I'm the one who was gullible in having taken your campaign persona as genuine.

* ASK YOURSELF... WHY IS THIS COMING VIA A BRITISH NEWSPAPER...

(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)

Riot police fired rubber bullets at a huge crowd of young ravers after the rioting youths sparked mayhem on Hollywood Boulevard.

* WOW! FINALLY! THE CORRECT USE OF THE PHRASE "RIOTING YOUTHS." (LOOKS LIKE A "MULTI-CULTURAL" GROUP OF ANIMALS - INDEED, WHITE A--HOLES SEEM TO BE IN THE MAJORITY!)

Authorities were called after the youngsters threw bottles and set fire to cars after being denied entry to a Hollywood film première.

* "...YOUNGSTERS..." (*SMIRK*)

* THE ONLY "GOOD" THING ONE CAN SAY IS THAT THE RIOTING WASN'T A COVER FOR OR PRELUDE TO LOOTING. IN OTHER WORDS, THIS WASN'T ABOUT FINANCIAL CRIME. THAT SAID... OF COURSE ANYONE ATTACKING A POLICE OFFICER OR PROPERTY SHOULD HAVE BEEN SHOT DOWN LIKE A RABID ANIMAL... WHICH IS WHAT SUCH PEOPLE AMOUNT TO.

* HERE'S THE HEADLINE CONCERNING THE NEWEST POLICY "REVISIONS" BEING MADE BY THE U.K.'s NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE:

Cataracts, hips, knees and tonsils: NHS begins rationing operations

* SOCIALIZED MEDICINE, FOLKS... FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS.

Examples of the rationing now being used include:

Hip and knee replacements only being allowed where patients are in severe pain.

Cataract operations being withheld from patients until their sight problems "substantially" affect their ability to work.

Patients with varicose veins only being operated on if they are suffering "chronic continuous pain", ulceration or bleeding.

Tonsillectomy (removing tonsils) only to be carried out in children if they have had seven bouts of tonsillitis in the previous year.

* "SUFFERING PANELS...???" (*SHRUG*)

Grommets to improve hearing in children only being inserted in "exceptional circumstances" and after monitoring for six months.

* MY "NIECE" CATHERINE JUST HAD THIS DONE; IMPROVEMENT IN HER SPEECH DEVELOPMENT AND THUS SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT WAS IMMEDIATE. THANK GOD SHE LIVES IN AMERICA.
