Looking Out For the Kids

If you’re looking for an educational Holiday gift for the wee ones, look no further than a book written by America’s own self proclaimed culture warrior, Bill O’Reilly. Yes Fox New’s biggest blowhard, who’s only goal in life is to look out for you, has written many a book in his day, but this one speaks to the kids and sets them on the right path; the far right path. Look for it at your nearest book store in the bargain bin.

Neocon talk show host, Bill O'Reilly, whose only goal in life is to look out for you, recently wrote a book to brainwash, er...make that, inform today's youth and help them navigate the mine fields of the evil 'liberal media'.

Uncle Newtie’s Kinder Care Plan

Republican Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has officially commenced the second destruction of his campaign just as polls showed him rising from the ashes from his first disintegration and leading the other GOP hopefuls in Con-a-thon 2012. He recently was quoted as saying that the current child labor laws are stupid and that he would change them as soon as he could if he were President. Hey, we couldn’t agree more. We should return to those halcyon days of the 19th century when labor laws were lax and children were poor and hungry enough to work for a pittance or if they’re really industrious, a cup of gruel. The earlier a child, a.k.a worker drone, realizes that the only purpose for their existence is spending his or her life as an insignificant cog in the machinery of the Corporate States of America, the better off he or she will be. It’s compassionate conservatism, folks. Just accept it and don’t ask questions.

Since Newtie has entered tin foil hat territory, we’re wondering who will be the next flavor of the month for the Republicans? Will it finally be Spiff Romney?(Not bloody likely!) Or will Ms. Ubetcha announce her candidacy after much reflection and encouragement from her Tea Party Patriots? This is better than a Mexican telenovela. Stay tuned America!

GOP candidate and 19th century aficionado, Newt Gingrich, has made the astute observation that children spend far too much time playing and should instead be preparing themselves for a life of corporate drudgery as a wage slave.

Cop-n-Pepper

Our intrepid staff here at the Bucket has discovered an old photo that shows that Lt. John Pike, the UC-Davis cop who pepper sprayed a group of Occupy Wall Street protestors, comes from a long line of protest busters.

Lt. John Pike's grandfather, Nigel Winston Pike, who served in the British colonial police force in India, is shown reprimanding that notorious street thug, Mahatma Gandhi.

The World According to Fox

Fox News, a.k.a. the Republican Propaganda Network, shows why they are so…eh-hem… respected in the world of journalism. Fair and unbalanced reporting at it’s finest folks!

Fox News shows why they are the epitome of journalistic integrity with their stunning analysis of the Occupy Wall Street protesters.

Rewind: See Dubya Read

Who sez Dubya didn’t like to read when he was presidentin’? Although My Pet Goat was probably his favorite, he loved to read other books and here’s proof in a photo-toon from our November 20, 2003 issue.

President Bush takes a break during a cabinet meeting to read Madonna's latest book, Mr. Peabody's Apples.

The New GOP Flavor of the Month is…

According to new polls, the new GOP flavor of the month is Newtie Fruitie Gingrich. Gingrich? Really? Haven’t we been down this path before? No matter, the laughs just keeps on coming! The Republicans just don’t want to pick Mitt(Spiff) Romney do they. But we have no doubt that Newtie will do or say something stupid to deflate his poll numbers again. Hmmmm, if Mr. Conservative Family Values makes it to the White House do you think he’ll dump the Snow Queen and get a new trophy wife? He’s got a track record folks. Just sayin’.

GOP conservative candidate Newt Gingrich assures America that the only surge he'll make is into Tiffany's.

It Was This Big

Con-a-thon 2012 Republican front runner, Herman Cain, author of plan 999 from outer space, has had a bad couple weeks. Several women have come forward with allegations of sexual harassment by the former pizza magnate. Of course, Cain, Boss Limhogg and all the GOP blowhards from Fox News have not only denied all charges but have launched attacks against the victims. Did he sexually harass these women? We don’t know, but it sure is interesting watching Mr. Cain come up with explanations.

GOP candidate Herman Cain announces that a recent allegation of sexual harassment was just a misunderstanding and that he was just explaining to one of his many female admirers how he once made a pizza at a Republican fundraiser.

 

Joaquin Phoenix’s Next Mockumentary

Remember back in 2008 when actor Joaquin Phoenix appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman apparently whacked out of his gourd and announced that he was retiring from acting and becoming a rapper? It turns out, the joke was on us as he was just playing the part for a mockumentary he was making with Casey Affleck called I’m Still Here. Well, here’s a photo-toon we did in our March 7, 2009 issue which presents the topic for Mr. Phoenix’s next mockumentary.

Actor/Rapper Joaquin Phoenix has decided on yet another new career direction: the as yet unexplored field of rap polka.

Rewind: Halloween 2003

It’s Halloween again and speaking of ghouls and goblins we got to reminiscing about those glorious days of the Bush Administration. Here’s a photo-toon from our November 6, 2003 issue, when Dubya threw the mother of all Halloweenie parties at the White House. Those conservatives sure know how to party!
