Pennsylvania Palookas


Democratic candidate for U.S. senator and recent stroke victim Lt. Governor John Fetterman has accused his Republican rival Dr. Mehmet Oz of not only having attended sporting events but of financially supporting sports clubs even after the dangers of many sports became public.


Dr. Oz categorically denies having recently participated, supported or even viewed competitive sports except in professional physician symposiums on the evils of athletics.


Fetterman went on the attack in their debate:

“Doctor Dorothy, have you or have you not stated that you watch the local news past the weather girl’s predictions? And since you have does that not leave us to assume that you are inhaling the scores and highlights of the very mob activities that pit one neighborhood against another, one school against another, one city against another- like the shameless, unAmerican battle going on right now between our City of Brotherly Love against our fellow Americans from the Lone Star State?


Doc O

“No physician who observes their sacred oath could ever condone, let alone support, athletics anymore.


Fetterman

“Authentic Brands Group which owns the pornographic rag Sports Illustrated has confirmed that you have had a subscription- not just an occasional purchase in a moment of weakness- but a yearly subscription to SI for decades.”


Doc O

“That was and is purely in response to demands from mostly my male patients many of whom suffer from sports and bikini fanaticism to have some placebo or Methadone like alternative to calm them down while staying in my waiting room.”


Fetterman

“You never read the magazine?”


Doc O

“Since I suffer no athletic addiction it makes no sense for me to indulge. Let me say here that what is taking place in Citizens Bank Park is the culmination of months of team violence that has eliminated so many young players leaving the spoils to just one athletic gang. This is exactly how other more recognized mobsters and drug gangs flourish. Going after each other with balls and bats, stealing bases, striking or throwing out each other for no other reason than their rivals wear different caps. No one is safe on the diamond of death and the only thing worse than the thugs on the field are the mindless mobs demanding their gang put in as many hits as possible and that the umpire be killed.”


Fetterman

“You’re an Eagles fan.”


Doc O

“I do respect and even venerate our national symbol, the bald eagle.”


Fetterman

“There exists un-doctored photographs of you and one Thomas Brady, the current Al Capone of the gridiron world.”


Doc O

“He had left the New England mob and I mistakenly assumed he was retiring and reforming himself. I had no way of knowing he would simply take over one of the drug ridden Florida mobs. I regret having ever spoken to the thug who obviously simply traded Sodom for Gomorrah.”


Fetterman

“Since we both have had youthful transgressions- premarital masturbation and college football- I’ll let that go.” 

 

Doc O

“I take full responsibility for playing safety for Harvard but not for the masturbation. I had no idea what was in my pants. I hadn’t graduated medical school yet. I thought I was just scratching an itch.”


Fetterman

“Thank god you didn’t become a urologist. As a cardiothoracic surgeon can you tell us if Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has a heart?”


Doc O

“Though I personally haven’t gotten under his shirt as yet I decline to opine. I don’t see what use he would have in owning such a sentimental organ in running the Senate. Why have you changed your position on fracking?”


Fetterman

“I didn’t change my position on fracking. I thought the reporter asked me what my position was on flatulence which is another closely related natural gas issue.”


Doc O

“And what is your position on flatulence?”


Fetterman

“Pass.”

FOCUS POCUS or Who Needs Horror Movies When You're In One?

 

Didn’t we just slink out of our longest war?

When only military families lived in wartime

Then Russia invades Ukraine

And gas, rent and bread explode here


Biden and Obama masks 

Terrorize red states

Trump and Putin scare blue

Only democracy lost the election


Shadows of coat hangers

Tales of infanticide and girls

Enslaved by pregnancy

Swirl over campfires


My wallet is shrinking

Like everything in my pants

Only my student debt

And waistline grows


My degree is just a receipt

So I work remotely

Sending out resumes

To the internet of trolls


Count Fentanyl is Dracula

Children turned zombie

After half a face

And no friends or school


Manmade or not

Accept our lot

Mother Nature and ourselves

Have turned cruel

Queen E



Drove a lorry during WW2

Olive green uniform

Already destined for the throne

Yet

Did her bit

And kept doing it

When the crown fell on her 

Head

Did her best to 

Respect

Her subjects

Honor

Their cultures

The goddamn woman

Just showed up

Listened politely

And witnessed

And at least acted

Like she owed her

Subjects

As much as they owed

Her


She was the richest woman

In the world

And she had the worst job

In the world

And I, for one, will

Miss her

August Dog 22


Finally, an answer to school shootings. Close the schools. Or does the Sun treat mental illness in a way that the Moon and cold can not? Lunacy. Guns are cold until fired. Madmen follow trends. Indiscriminate slaughter worked so well in Oklahoma back when. Why not in Buffalo now? Have things really changed that much? Where? How?


Pow Wow. Took care of native people with pow pow. Then infected blankets and fire water. Treaties broken B4 the ink was dry. Die Noble Savage die. Now their women disappear. Who takes them? And to where?


I don’t believe in global warming but I do believe the water that is rising over my head in the second floor of my old Kentucky home. And I don’t know how we can call them wildfires out west anymore. They’re just doing what all forest fires do these days. 


How can they call the House Committee Investigating the January 6th Riot a hearing when nobody’s listening? Or say that the price of gas is going down when its use is incinerating the planet? Or call mask mandates tyranny and abortion restrictions liberty?


People fear. People hate. Weather changes. People don’t. I get all that. People ask me are things really worse than before or does it just seem that way? Are we really being more honest with ourselves or, I suspect, just not buying the crap as much?

Why Jewish Comedians Make Lousy Nazis


I’m hearing the same from everybody over here about why Putin invaded. U used to be part of Russia, pierogies, potato liquor, this empire, that ass fire, NATO up the to go-go. I get all that but I’m not convinced. It has got to be more personal than a thousand years of that shit. 


I think some Ukrainian must have taken his shirt. You know, when he was horsing around for the cameras. People just assumed that the whole point was that he was bare chested and having fun. Maybe it was Zelensky but probably some other Jewish comedian. Zelensky is the Ukraine’s Jon Stewart. I think the Ukraine’s Jerry Seinfeld probably took Putin’s shirt. 


It’s not that the Ukraine’s Sarah Silverman wouldn’t do it. She would- I know- but if she’s really the Ukraine’s SS she would have taken his pants. I think that’s self evident. Would have made for a rough ride.


Vladimir never smiles. He sneers and sneers are always at the other’s expense. Lost his mind for years over a political puppet show that portrayed him among others. The wildly popular program didn’t survive his rise- like a lot of people. For a guy who accuses a lot of people of being Nazis, he sure treats his neighbors like Adolf did. 


Ukraine, like the United States and most countries, has all kinds. Some Ukrainian nationalists cooperated with German invaders during the Second World War hoping to shed the Russian yoke. I don’t believe President Zelensky is a Nazi.


The saying in Russia is “Putin likes to make his own weather.” It means Putin likes to have everyone reacting to him, wondering what he’s thinking and guessing what he’ll do next. He certainly is making a lot of weather these days but I think the world has been missing his jokes. 


He planted commandos in Crimea without insignia which became known as the little green men. The joke was on us. His army marched into Ukraine thinking they were on a peace keeping mission. The joke was on them. Then, with his full force in place, he bumped into the Joker and the joke just might end up on him.

Wisconsin Invades


“We don’t build cars so what the hell are they doing making cheese?”


Wisconsin’s Governor added to why he ordered his State Police to arrest Michigan state officials he says were “illegally” serving the disputed territory. The Upper Peninsula was granted to Michigan in 1837 as part of a deal to end a border conflict between the Michigan territory and the state of Ohio known as The Toledo Strip War. The U.P. as it is known is only attached by land to Wisconsin who has long coveted the once mineral rich and now hot tourist attraction otherwise surrounded by the Great Lakes.  


“This is not a political, territorial or economic war. It is the end of a continuous, cowardly, cultural capitulation. I mean, how often do you hear people talk about the Wisconsin Sound? The Milwaukee Beat or sing the Badgers fight song?”


“It doesn’t matter that Detroit is a mess on the magnitude of Baltimore and Cleveland. Detroit means the mighty automotive industry. Detroit means Motown. Milwaukee just means old breweries and older sitcoms.”


The Wisconsin National Guard blocked all roads entering the disputed Upper Peninsula early Tuesday morning just before rush hour. Only trucks containing medical supplies and marital aids were allowed through.


“Only Wisconsin will stand up to these Wolverines who are the source not only of all the nations ills but those of the totality of humanity as well, Governor Tony Nevers said. “Global Warming? Detroit makes nothing but SUVs and muscle cars. Racial Strife? Their Motown Sound and style back in the Civil Rights era made black so cool it kept negroes from becoming true Americans. Road Rage? Again I point to the tanks and hot rods they sell as family cars.”


“They coddle Canadians, naturalized Arabs, promote water sports and stole the Big Ten gridiron championship.”


President Biden has been careful to stay clear of the civil war since he will probably need to win both states in 2024 should the earth and nation still be around for that election. Meanwhile, in Congress, the two states delegations are bitch slapping and noogie knuckling in both chambers with a violence not seen there since Antebellum.   


Neither state has bothered the Supreme Court for petitions or rulings. Both liberal and conservative news media has left the invasion unreported along with the nonexistent unbiased press. Even former president Donald Trump has declined to opine on the matter.


Michigan’s governor Retched Whitless responded to criticism of her inaction by pointing out that the Great Lakes State never built its own navy and that U.P. was as isolated from civilization as West Berlin was during the Cold War.


“The Wisconvicts have chosen to exploit our Uppies isolation for economic and political gain,” said Gov Whitless. “Illinois has offered us dinghies to supplement the truck tire tube marines force I’ve authorized. Of course, I haven’t bothered President Biden for arms or ammunition. Between our rural counties and the Detroit Metro area we have more fire power than three quarters of the world’s nations combined.”


“We’ll teach those cheese heads what happens when you Putin with us.”

Who Do You What?

 

In this age of celebrated hatred, Satire1 took to the corner of 95th Street and Broadway in Mad Manhattan this Valentine’s Day to ask pedestrians who they felt intense, all consuming indifference towards. 


Undercover Librarian

“Authors of ebooks. People can fit everything in their phone now so I’m going to start fitting my boot up their ass.”


Bengals Fan

“I was in love with all the possibility and then I got rammed. After that, there was nothing to do but watch the game.”


Punxsutawney Phil

“My sister Phyllis tried to come out of our burrow first on my big day and steal my job. She claimed she did it for She-Chuck Liberation. I had to sink my buck-chuck teeth into her butt to stop her.”


Uncle Sam

“Trump. He is so last election and he still can’t get over it. The only person more past tense than Trump is Biden who was already past tense before the last election.”


Guy with a Pie

“I love my iPhone but I hate Apple.”


Porkpie

“The guy on TV not wearing a mask trying to talk me into wearing a mask.”


Joe the Plumber

“Those Canadian trucker protesters aren’t fooling anybody. Just another bunch of clueless husbands who forgot to preorder roses weeks ago and now are afraid to go home.”


Popeye

“If we’re being honest then you have to admit that love smells more like farts than it does like roses.”


Still Wearing Mules

“We’re still having babies like they did in the caves. Congress should act and decide where babies come from and it’s got to be from some place else.”


Porkpie Again

“The lab coats are bullshit.”
