The Last John McCain Sunday?

Jots and Tittles From the Growler Staff
--Yes, they trotted John "Nutjob" McCain out today all day on the commercial (pro-Repugnican) channels here in NYC, one diehard saying John had such a great sense of humor--that he was so much fun to be around. We can hear the kind of jokes Nutjob tells: "Did'ja hear the one about the N-worder, the Priest, and the Jew?"
--Sweet Sarah of Alaska? You didn't hear much about her this morning. Is she passe now? There was an awfully lot of Awful Tina Fey--we are as sick of her as we are of Sarah Palin--but it looks like Tina Fey has certainly carved her another notch in the pistol handle of success. We heard Tina was once voted one of the most beautiful women in the USA by a prestigious celebrity-ass-kissing magazine. Really? We find that's hard to believe. We asked some of the virile men around The Daily Growler specious attic offices, including our editing horse, and only one said he thought Tina Fey was hot--he'd seen her in a little black dress one time and said she was very sexy. How about Sarah Silverman?, we asked. Three guys said they'd love to bang her--she looked goofy sexy, like a "double-entry"-type gal. How gross some of the men who hang around The Daily Growler are!

Tina Fey before Sarah Palin-Fey--Sarah Silverman--when Jimmy Kimmel was bangin' her.

Some Passing Jots (submitted by Barabus Munn-Dayne of Lake Flaccid, New York):
--"Chock" is a Native American beer--a Native Oklahoma drink--short for Choctaw beer.
--Jimmy Rushing, the 5 x 5 blues singer, was said to be a great "ballyhooer"--"good at playing the ballyhoo"--"ballying out front"--same as "hawking" or "being a hawker."
--A commercial tagline for a stationary exercise bike that hooks up to your teevee set said, "Play, Laugh, Grow." God, how gym smelly bad.
--A "pongee suit" is what silk suits used to be called.
--A "monkey-back suit" was a suit with a "pinched back" or "jazz back."
--Count Basie on how kids used to wear their caps in the early 1900s: "you wore it with the bill up or turned around backwards." Count said this was called "mannish" by adults, "That boy's acting mannish," meaning, "you were too much in a hurry to grow up."
--Basie uses "kittycorner" for catercorner.
--From a piece of paper I found floating on a scummy puddle of water in the middle of Fifth Avenue in New York City:
Exceeding the speed limit
Peed in speed
Fear
Shakin' like a leaf
Relief
Talking on a big fat black telephone to a person behind glass...
--Most Americans are paying 40% of their earnings on rent/house payments; 20-30% on debt.
--"Closure"--when did the word closure come into being when it comes to the survivors of victims of a serious crime seeking "satisfaction" when someone is caught and given a life sentence or a ride on the juice gurney? "I need closure on this." Foreclosure...or just plain closure?
--I read where astronomy "Tells you where you come from and where you are going."
--Did you know the NASA shuttle flights are managed by private contractors?
--I saw a cold medicine commercial on teevee where an orange has a head cold. Wouldn't a cold kill an orange? The "come on" pitch in the ad says that this cold medicine has extra vitamin D and vitamin C--"from oranges" it adds so morbidly. Would you eat an orange that had a cold?
--Kids once said they were "shootin' hooky" when they were cutting school--now kids say they're "ditchin'" class or not going to school. "I'm ditchin' school today, dude, peace up."
--Karl Rove was recently the main speaker at a mortgage bankers's conference.
--Brother Bill "the Reverend" Moyers used the word "born-again believers" in talking about those who champion government intervention.
--James K. Galbraith, John Kenneth's son, teaches Economics at the University of Texas in Austin. New book: The Predator State.
--A great little movie is Mark Johnson's Stand By Me--street musicians from all over the world singing "Stand By Me."
--20% of US energy comes from nuclear energy.
--Professor Richard Wolf up at Amherst says, "China depends on selling goods around the world. If nobody buys these goods, their economy drops. China's only hope is for an internal market."
--A Tilex commercial on teevee's tagline is: "A Hardcore Clean."
--Did you know Chelsea Clinton has a bottle of vintage wine in her name in the 21 Club's privileged-person's private wine cellar--a weird and unusual place within this old original Prohibition-time private booze-drinking club in Midtown Manhattan. No one can afford to go to 21 Club except pompous swellheads.
--Ashley Olsen has written a book called Innocence. Those poor depraved filthy rich twins. I figure one day they'll commit suicide together--like when they're old and barren and still in love with each other--actually they're so rich, they don't trust each other--they need to stay together so they don't start suing each other over possessions.
--We the People's government is giving GM and Chrysler, two failing US automobile makers whose foreign ventures backfired on them and left them dangling broke with huge back lots filled with their unsalable SUVs and trucks, over 30 billion dollars to help them get back on their feet--unlike We the People who are supposed to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps.
--Have you calculated how much per US citizen 750 billion dollars is? $2 million bucks a piece. You and your wife (and or husband) and 5 kids--I mean, you'd be worth suddenly $14 million dollars! But don't hold your breath, unless you want to commit suicide due to all the bills and foreclosure notices and, oh hell, you're being called to jury duty!
--According to The Daily Growler ministeroffaith, Pastor Melissa Scott, there was no word for "God" in Chinese when the first Christian missionaries arrived there in the 1600s.
--Nissan, the Japanese carmaker that was once called Datsun, has paid big beaucoup bucks to have the football trophy, the Heisman Trophy, named after it--yes, it's now called the Nissan Heisman Trophy--how commercial can you get?
--And I heard our own guru-snarling-wolfman, thegrowlingwolf, in the office t'other day say, "There is some truth on both sides of a coin even though the coin is a counterfeit." He gives a lecture on advertising in the boiler room every Thursday evening before he goes off to drink with his old musician pals at some obscure Irish pub on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
--Heidi-Ho!
