I went to MD University. The death of perhaps our greatest basketball star, Len Bias, scared me away from cocaine. I never even considered trying it, because, if it could happen to him, a top-rated athlete in great shape, what could it do to a regular guy?

I told my daughter about Len when she mentioned that some of the people she was meeting at college were into more than alcohol. Never tried it for the same reason, though went to a different school. Was big into college BB back then and for that to happen to him. Well, scared me straight. I can’t believe more people weren’t.

“Say…what’s that in Steve’s mug? Thanks to the Members who maketh our cup runneth over every week.”

You really have to ask that about a guy who calls himself “Vodka Pundit”? Seriously?

Personally I don’t touch that Commie liquor, I’m an American Whiskey and/or Bourbon man. Preferably with a nice Commie cigar made by Partagas … 😉

I like these backstage discussions better than the production shows.

I can safely say that Steve is a lover of brown liquor. But VodkaPundit sounds better than whiskey pundit.

Sorry, I guess I wasn’t very clear in that post. The point wasn’t what kind of liquor Steve likes, though I can see from what I said how someone might take it that way.

The point I was making is that someone with liquor in his moniker probably has liquor in his drinking vessel too … And that I like these backstage episodes better than the production shows that make their way to YouTube.

I like to think that Steve has something adult in his various mug(s), of which he seems to have hundreds (Jack Daniels in the Sinatra mug?); but I think they record these pretty early and I don’t think his wife would approve with the kids home. Yes, I am implying that Steve’s wife is the boss of him 😉
Now when he is drunk-blogging debates – there can be no doubt. He even shares the recipes!!

I’m not sure there is such a thing as “peak stupid”… maybe it’s like peak oil… as soon as someone says we’ve reached peak production, new technology makes it possible to extract so much more. The left is continually and diligently working to enhance “stupid technology” and I believe we can rely on them to produce more and more in the ever expanding future of stupid…

Oh! I remember what I was gonna say.

Whaddya mean, just take our lumps, go out and get the Cuomo19. Have you been reading the Instapundint comments. There are some notable commenters that are seriously invested in this being the next Black Death. And if there are no bodies, well, they got goalposts on wheels.
Just wait two weeks.
WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!

I tried cocaine once almost 40 years ago. All it did was make me talk really fast. I thought, “Where’s the fun in that?” and never tried it again.

This just in……Apple Computer has announced that all Apple products will not be produced in the color named white, AND is changing the name of their company to “Air”. Current Apple Social Justice Transactional Non Binary Advisory Board members held a press conference today to announce the name change.
According to the ASJTNBAB,

  • apples are harvested by a disproportionate percentage of persons of color
  • for the enjoyment of different groups of people, some whom may be categorized as being white, and
  • To avoid this social justice faux pas, the new “Air” company will remove all references to this fruit, and
  • Change all product production to be tie-dye rainbow color, and
  • Change the logo to a circle with nothing in it.

ASJTNBAB also declared

  • that all past customers return – at their expense and for no compensation – any product manufactured by the former racist Apple Corp and purchased by said customers back to “Air” to be destroyed in an environmentally safe way.
  • The remains of the destroyed returned products will be compressed by water based and solar powered hydraulic presses into the shape of a Sphere, and
  • The aforementioned new Sphere shall be placed on bare earth at the center of the new “Air” HQ in Cupertino, California.

And Now, fellow Bill Whittle Dot Com Members, we’ve reached peak Stupid.

GRR. what is wrong with these people and when will the demands end. I know two people here that both told me at different times “we need to fix society” I said to both of them, “why not start with yourself? you know “start with the man in the mirror” ~Michael Jackson

(Edit: My initial comment was Snark-laden Sarcastic Satire and in no way should be taken as the truth) Thanks all.

OK, thanks for the clarification, but it’s seems to fit in just right with their demands.

HAHAHAHA, Geezzz Tim you had me going. What is really funny is that your post is VERY close to believable.

THATS the problem! It’s so hard to tell. I was fully able to believe that.

All good satire should resemble what could happen for as long as possible within the piece. Nicely done.
The give away was an insufficient number of characters in the acronym.

After I posted that piece, it hit me that I missed an opportunity to arrange random letters into meaningful ‘slogan’. The cows were out of the barn at that point so I moved on to the next R/A or BWN.
In a similar vein, Ralph, do you recall the really really stupid and transparent catch phrases during the Obama years? Such as:

  • We can’t Wait
  • Si se puede
  • and my personal favorite: Winning the Future.
  • Obama must have said that 20 times in one SOTU address.
  • Winning the Future….WTF?

Sure do.
I was actually going to challenge you to come with an acronym that spells out – wait for it – A.C.R.O.N.Y.M.

Harry – see the new blog posting. I am asking all members to post one there.
Used yours in the body of the post.
Come up with a more.

Peak Stupid? Not even close. We have a long way to go.
A noted astronomer once said: “Two things are infinite, as far as we know – the universe and human stupidity.” 

Einstein suggests by his General Theory of Relativity that he was not so sure about the former.

Ping! Greetings guys, quick question. Why is this backstage episode on youtube? (saw it there first) I thought backstage was for members only, or maybe I missed something here?

All of the BW videos are on YouTube. Some are typically hidden — like Back Stage. Perhaps Web McMaster incorrectly clicked the wrong button and initially made this one publicly-accessible. Like Sean Connery might say, “Sit happens.”

YouTube offers three settings: 1) Public 2) Private 3) Unlisted
If you choose Private, then you can’t embed the video as we do on this site. Unlisted is not really hidden, it just doesn’t appear on our YT channel, but you can still find it if you’re determined. Of course, if you watch it on YT, then you miss out on the enlightening and fun banter of our Members.

I saw it as “recommended for you” and the weird thing is that I watched it there and then refreshed the page and it stilled said “no views” so I watched it again hours later, refreshed the page again, and still “no views. Today I clicked on this video here to “watch this on youtube” and there was 101 views. I guess youtube’s running slow in that department.
