Like the old Chiffon Margarine commercial said, "it's not nice to fool Mother Nature."

Well, Mother Nature sure has been a bitch as of late.

I live in an apartment, so I'm thankful that I don't need to shovel or run a snowblower. But my car on the other hand is another story.

On Tuesday, right in front of my workplace, my car's brake line failed, causing me to press the brake pedal all the way to the floor. The good news is that the Tuffy on 28th Street near Eastern was right around the corner. The bad news? It was $557 to replace the damn thing. I told my father about it and he agreed that those cocksuckers raped me with a sandpaper condom. Granted, it was an emergency and I already ran through a red light because of the lack of brakes. But at least my car's safe to drive now.

Well, this morning, I was driving to work, once again in -5-degree coldness. I was following a car that was going 15 MPH and a bunch of trucks and SUVs when I approached the street where my work was. The dumbass and all those 4X4s all turned at the same time, causing me to lose momentum climbing the small hill. Well, my car got stuck in the ice in the middle of the damn road. So, I had to rock the car around to free it. My car has traction control and by the time I FINALLY made it up that hill, the traction control was off and I couldn't turn it back on. I was fearing another trip to the repair shop. Well, thankfully, after work, the traction control was back on. Turns out that I might have overheated it trying to get up the icy hill.

The worst part of this weather nastiness was following assholes who should not be driving in this weather. Yes, those who drive a little too fast and crash into a ditch or those who drive worse than a 90-year-old grandfather with end-stage Alzheimer's.

The good news is that by later Friday, the negative temps will be a memory for at least a small while. It will rain on Monday with a high of 46 or so. However, yes, it will be cold again by the end of the week. Just not as bad as this week.

Me and my poor car will be breathing a sigh of relief.

Bee-otched For: climate change? What's that?

-

Right now as I'm typing this, it's -9 degrees right now.

This morning, I was watching a news report on the polar vortex shaking America right now, especially Michigan. The last time it was this cold, radio stations were playing the shit out of "Macarena", "Tommy Boy" was #1 at the box office and the internet was new. It was 1995 and I was in middle school.

Now, I'm an adult and I do adult shit. And thanks to the severe cold, I have to work, even risking limb and life going to and from work this week. If somebody asks me for a ride for any unnecessary reason, they can all suck my cock.

Another type of person who can all line up and suck me raw are the climate change deniers. Yesterday, Drumpf bitched on Twitter that "In the beautiful Midwest, windchill temperatures are reaching minus 60 degrees, the coldest ever recorded. In coming days, expected to get even colder. People can’t last outside even for minutes. What the hell is going on with Global Waming? Please come back fast, we need you!"

Well, there were a load of those on Twitter who set the Cheeto straight. Severe cold IS a sign of climate change, and since he's in denial, don't expect much to change as long as he's the de facto president.

The sad thing is that even the local weathermen don't believe in climate change. Bill Steffen of WOOD-TV 8 here in Grand Rapids is a prime example. I even remember one year he predicted that it would be the worst winter in Michigan's history and there was nary a drop of the white stuff. Let's also not forget that Terri the Whore-er, DeBoer is good pals with the Devos clan.

You know, I have to command Chuck Todd for his recent Meet the Press episode where he spent the whole hour talking about climate change. The best part? He didn't have any deniers on the show. He banned them because scientists know that the earth is changing, and not for the best.

The good news is that on Saturday, it will start to warm up again in Grand Rapids and some of the snow will melt. The rapid change in temps is proof that we need to work harder on making Mother Earth a safer place and to preserve the future for our children.

And a person who wams up hamburders is not that person.

Bee-otched For: surviving on poor ratings

Yesterday, hell ALMOST froze over.

And the key word here is "almost".

Four out the five major radio station groups in Northern Michigan - Midwestern, Northern, Black Diamond and Blarney Stone - were all represented in the Fall 2018 radio Nielsen ratings. WTCM-FM remained the ratings champ despite the departure of longtime morning man Jack O'Malley. Northern subscribed for the first time in ages, so now we know how their aging rocker, WKLT paired up against the younger-skewing Rock 105 and 95-5. KLT is ahead, but only by .6 of a point: 6.6 vs. 6.0. However, Rock 105/95-5 gained a full point since the Spring '18 book.

Other stations that did well include the usual: WCCW-FM 107.5, WTCM-AM 580 and Big Country 102.9.

The one company that decided not to subscribe to the book was MacDonald-Garber, so we don't know how 106 KHQ, Lite 96.3, 104.5 Bob FM, 96.7 The Bull, 1270 WMKT or The Ticket did. Generally, KHQ is in the five range, Lite 96 is in the fours while Bob is in the twos. Bear in mind that a lot is going on at MacGar, and it's not all positive. KHQ and Bob's morning show hosts both quit. As a matter of fact, Bob's morning host, Finster quit without another job lined up. Trish MacDonald Garber's attitude has notoriously been rotten over the years. No wonder why turnover at the company has been crazy over the years.

But yes, the north has its fair share of underperforming stations. Now that Northern subscribed to the book, we know that KLT and KLT only is the only station in their cluster that's doing well. The Fox is only above a two share while ESPN 106.7/105.5 is at a pathetic 1.5.

Other ratings-challenged stations include Classic Rocker The Bear (1.7), which is still struggling, even with Omelette handling morning duty. It appears that KLT is the go-to when it comes to classic rock in the north. Q100, OTOH only had a .6, but considering that the station it replaced, country Y100 never had ratings of any kind, it is an improvement.

Probably the biggest shocker in the book is that 101.9 WLDR, the 100,000-watt station whose transmitter is the closest to Traverse City, has pitiful ratings. Under previous management, it was in the low one share range. Now, it's at a .9. It makes me wonder if adult contemporary is the right format for the market, or the station.

It's also worth noting that ratings for the market's non-commercial stations are now listed. Interlochen NPR news station WICA 91.5 is the highest rated non-comm in the market with a 3.2. Classical sister WIAA 88.7 ranked in with a 2.9. CMU Public Radio's stations had a 1.7. However, none of the market's religious stations (i.e. WLJN, Smile FM, Northern Christian Radio) proved that they had listeners.

You know, Northern Michigan is a market where change rarely happens. Station owners think that soccer mom music is the way to go, but as we've learned with WSRT/You FM, EZ 95-5 and 92.9 The Breeze, it's not the point. Same with overplayed 80s/90s oldies and yes, classic rock.

What's also tough is that Northern Michigan has long been very vanilla in terms of people. Yes, whites love rap and hip-hop, but Trish apparently doesn't and so do some of the big advertisers. This is probably why those itching for something rhythmic on KHQ will have to wait for their syndicated shows on the weekend. Without her stations listed on Nielsen, it's kinda tough to tell how terrestrial radio up north is doing versus digital offerings.

There are some formats that might do ok up north that are currently absent. Even though WCBY 1240 carries classic country, their signal is limited to the Straits area. I wouldn't count out rhythmic CHR, but it might be risky in terms of attracting advertisers. I do want to say that alternative or AAA might be an ok choice, but with 106.3 The Mitten not lasting too long, that would be a risk, too.

With a plethora of options for listening enjoyment, Northern Michigan radio needs to step up their game. Anything below a two share is pitiful for a 100,000 watt FM station. It's like any other business: if you have customers, you make money. But, if a tree falls in a forest and there's nobody out there to hear it, does it make a sound?

I don't think there's any business in Northern Michigan that has a schvoogie button.

Right now, Drumpf is winning some, but thankfully losing some, too.

Yes, he's fuming somewhat over the arrest of Roger Stone (and Steve Martin's accurate portrayal of him on SNL) and the fact that the House pressured him to get the government reopened without any funding for his pet wall. Now, for the next three weeks, Drumpf is going to figure out an excuse to force the House into getting his wall funded.

Well, on Saturday morning, my mom called me, pissed off because her taxes were done and good 'ol Drumpf did her in. She'll be making $1000 less than last year on her returns. I've yet to do my taxes, and now, I'm scared AF.

Ya know, it's amazing how Drumpf thinks that his tax breaks for the wealthy are helping the economy. Instead, the middle class is going down the tubes quicker than what happened in 2008. Give a wealthy man a ton of money, and it will do nothing. Give it to somebody living paycheck to paycheck and it will boost the economy and create jobs.

Now, I hear that Howard Schultz of Starbucks fame is looking at a 2020 run for president as an independent. Oy vey. But then again, Ross Perot helped George H.W. Bush lose the 1992 election. I think maybe, JUST MAYBE, having more than two main people running for president could be a Godsend.

But still, the Dems need a real progressive running in 2020.

A few days ago, I was reading about how millennials were not going to church anymore.

When asked why they were skipping on Sunday services, the answers included the fact that they didn't share their values and the negativity regarding members and staff. There's the priests who rape and torture children and churches themselves who think that blacks and homosexuals are the Devil's handiwork.

And yes, there's the TV grifters like Pat Robertson.

Many of us have heard the stories of televangelists who fly jet planes and live in huge, cavernous mansions paid for by the ministries that they preach for and have created. Of course, Robertson's one of them. After all this is a man who purchased a failing TV station in Virginia in the 1960s and asked that if 700 viewers could donate $10 per month, they could stay on the air (hence the name The 700 Club). That station grew to become the Christian Broadcast Network and in 1990, Robertson sold CBN to himself for only $1 with the help of ultra-right-winged turd John Malone - the head of cable giant TCI - and in 1998, he sold that channel - now The Family Channel - for $1.5 billion. It's been sold twice since and is now Freeform, owned by Disney. Sadly, Robertson has forced all future owners of Freeform to air The 700 Club and other CBN shows.

Now, this weekend, being that stopgap weekend between football games, there's the good 'ol 700 Club beg-a-thon where Pat & co. beg people for their precious money. Of course, there's their little stories about people down on their luck who give money to Pat and VOILA! They're debt free and living in a nice, big mansion because Pat told them so. The poor, pathetic souls at Freeform will have to air 12 hours of the beg-a-thon. Here in Michigan, The 700 Club's sole over-the-air affiliates - WMYD 20 Detroit and Cadillac/Traverse City's WFQX 32 - will air two hours of the marathon this Sunday.

You know, when I think about people who give to televangelists, I think of Cousin Eddie from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. He ended up having to move into an RV because he gave a chunk of his life savings to a televangelist that got sucked into a scandal. Of course, the movie came out in 1989, around the same time Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Jimmy Swaggert and others were all busted. But somehow, Pat Robertson survived unscathed.

I used to know a family in a small hick town in northern Michigan called Mancelona. They lived in a trailer with another trailer in its backyard with its roof caved in. They weren't the most-desirable family I've ever met, sadly. Even worse, I remembered the father thinking the events on 9/11 were hysterical. Anyway, I remembered seeing a 700 Club envelope on the table. I was thinking that if they stopped giving 'ol Pat their money and put that money in a bank account to maybe buy a real house, GEE! WHAT A CONCEPT!

I feel for those who think that the prosperity gospel that Pat and others preach is the way up to heaven. The reality is that Jesus told us to help the sick and help the poor. Maybe we oughta buy that bum on the street corner a burger or help that family with mass amounts of hospital bills out. Pat Robertson doesn't need your money. The poor do.

And no, millennials, giving money to Pat WILL NOT make those college loans disappear, either.

Several days after a group of pro-life punks from a Catholic school in Kentucky insulted Muslims and Native Americans at the Lincoln Memorial, the young boy at the center of the controversy is speaking out.

And yes, I don't give a fuck how the Repukes spin it, he's still an asshole.

Nick Sandmann told NBC's Savannah Guthrie that he doesn't need to apologize to tribal leader Nathan Phillips in an interview on The Today Show this morning. He felt that he was doing the right thing by standing in front of his classmates. However, both left and right have attacked Guthrie for giving Sandmann a platform and even asking him if he needs to apologize.

And guess what? Drumpf's puppet claimed that the media has been too busy trying to ruin Sandmann and everybody at Covington Catholic's life. Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Fox News' Sean Hannity that she's "never seen people so happy to destroy a kid’s life". OK, ever see all the fucking righties who call the victims of the Parkland shooting disaster "libtards"? There's a difference between them and all the pricks wearing their MAGA hats thinking that Nathan Phillips was funny.

Oh, and check this out. No wonder why Drumpf loves them.

As much as I hate Nancy Pelosi, I'm happy she's trying to pry him from doing the State of the Union address. I hope he'll listen to the country and worry about real problems as opposed to building his pet wall. On Twitter, he's crying "build the wall and see crime fall!" NO IT WON'T BECAUSE MOST OF THE ILLEGALS IN THIS COUNTRY ARE HERE BECAUSE OF EXPIRED VISAS!

You know, I totally agree that those bastards who came to DC should have had chaperones to teach them a lesson. Because of what they did, you damn right a MAGA hat is a sign of racism. All I hope for is that the Democrats allow a real leftist to run for president so we can get a REAL leader and get Drumpf outta there.

This might be the only time I wished a Catholic institution had child molesting priests.

It's always nice when failing radio stations change format.

But when they change to one that's guaranteed to be a dud, it leaves one shaking their head.

On Saturday, after two weeks simulcasting with the former 107.3 WBBL, the Thunder country format moved to 107.3 fulltime while 94.5 was relaunched as 94.5 The Q. The station is adult album alternative, which means a lot of Dave Matthews Band, Train, Sarah Mclachlan and Imagine Dragons.

Currently, 94.5 is running jockless and without commercials. This is the first time Grand Rapids has had some type of alternative station since WGRD flipped to full-time active rock in 2010. However, alternative in this town has not had a great track record. Toward the end, WGRD only had ho-hum ratings while a station somewhat similar to The Q, 96.1 Radio X, never made it above a two share in the ratings.

Ironically, 94.5 was the longtime home of WKLQ, which moved to 107.3 about 15 years ago. They flipped to all-sports WBBL 10 years ago. The sports format recently moved back to 1340 AM while the format that replaced WKLQ on 94.5, Thunder 94.5, moved its country format to 107.3.

Now, I wouldn't be too surprised if the WKLQ call letters came back home to 94.5. Right now, they are being stored on AM 1490 in Whitehall, which is simulcasting 1340's sports format. I know, I'd love to see The Rock @ ninetyfour dot five come back But it's damaged goods. If it ever came back, it would be a sad, bastardized version of its former self. Plus, Howard Stern is on SiriusXM and many of their former jocks have moved on. Cristi Johnson (née Cantle) owns an embroidery shop in Alpena, Suzy Cole programs the rock stations for Apple and Bill Walters reportedly became a Jebus freak.

Of course, when I saw that 94.5 flipped to AAA, I thought to myself, "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?" AAA is NOT a successful format, at least in Michigan. Detroit's 93.9 The River has always been a ratings dud and Northern Michigan's 106.3 The Mitten generated little buzz during the less-than-one year it was on the air. I think they are trying to siphon some of the listeners from the eclectic 88.1 WYCE. However, I think that their listeners are too loyal with them. Why abandon a locally-run station run by community volunteers for a station owned by the same assholes who banned the Dixie Chicks over Natalie Maines' outburst regarding George W. Bush?

You know, something to think about is the fact that Cumulus just got out of bankruptcy. Simply put, they got there because of poorly-run stations. Granted, they should be happy to rid themselves of the abortion known as WJRW and the fact that the Huge Fat Retard is off of their payroll. However, as I've mentioned, The Q will be back to a two share or less by fall book.

Here's something to ponder: since Grand Rapids is the second largest city in Michigan and there's a PLETHORA of African Americans, WHY ISN'T THERE A FULL-POWER FM URBAN STATION IN WEST MICHIGAN?!? There's a reason why WSNX is #1 in the ratings, and it's because they're the default urban station in town. Cumulus should have considered urban for 94.5, but they're too vanilla to care. Of course, Townsquare won't do it because they already have Magic 104.9 (which does excellent with 250 watts) and iheartmedia already has WSNX. So, if one wants to hear Drake, Cardi B. and Travis Scott, they have to sit through Taylor Swift, Arianna Grande and Imagine Dragons. After all, WSNX is still technically a CHR, though they do throw hip hop fans a bone.

But that's ok. While local radio keeps fucking up, the real world will be listening to satellite radio and the internet.

I fondly remember a few years ago when Obama's Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano warned that having a black man in the White House would equate to a rise in bigotry in America.

And sadly, she was right. Even worse, this time, the racism came from some young punks from Kentucky.

The world is outraged over the video of middle school kids all wearing Make America Great Again hats mocking a Native American as he banged on a drum on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. That man, Nathan Phillips was a Vietnam veteran and a businessman. According to onlookers, the boys were mocking black Muslims when Phillips got between the kids and the Muslims. As a result, the kids were repeating Phillips' chants while young Nick Sandmann stood directly in front of Phillips, being in his way.

The teens were all from Covington Catholic High School in Covington, Kentucky. They were in DC to partake in the Right to Life March this past weekend. Both the school and Covington's mayor condemned the boys mocking of the tribal elder.

You know, when I was in 5th grade, we took a field trip to Lansing. I remembered our bus driving past a man who appeared physically disabled and was walking funny. Several kids on the bus started to laugh at the man while a teacher started to yell at the kids. She asked something like, "how would you like it if you had to walk like that and people laughed at you?"

Here's a better question: where were the adults in this situation? Where were they when the little heathens started to mock that tribal leader and one of the kids threatened to cut that one person's guts out? I think those punks should never be allowed to go to DC ever again.

It's funny how these bastards come to DC to promote pro-life causes and they only proved how people who are pro-life really are. It's like my cousin who dumped his cancer-stricken mother onto a mattress on his apartment floor when he yanked her out of her nursing home without her meds. She had a seizure and was rushed to the hospital. She died shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, he's Catholic and has used part of her inheritance to fly to Jerusalem because he's such as Jebus freak. Ugh.

The good news is that the kids are facing expulsion and the diocese has apologized to Phillips. Sadly, all this had to happen just days before Martin Luther King Day today. If Dr. King were alive today, he would denounce the actions of those bastards. Sadly, it's proof that 50 years after his passing, Americans are still racist jerks.

The MAGA hat: like a KKK outfit, but more readily available.

Bee-otched For: not keeping his big mouth shut

When I was a kid, my Grandmother told my mom that she was on the same flight as Soupy Sales. Sharing the same flight with any celebrity should definitely be an honor.

However, the same thing happened to me some 20 years later. Sadly, it was John Engler. Instead of dealing with a man who made millions laugh by being pelted with cream pies, I got stuck on a plane with a man who threw shit onto the people of Michigan.

I even stood next to that big, fat dildo and his staff at the baggage claim. While people were coming to him asking about the triplets he had with his mistress, I kept my mouth shut. After all, my dear friend, the late, great Dave Barber confronted Engler years ago. He asked him about the fact that he cheated on his wife with Michelle, his mistress. Engler's men roughed up Barber and pushed him into an elevator shaft.

Tragically, Michigan was stuck with that giant pile of goo for 12 years. That's 12 years too many. He even got the nickname "Pothole Johnny" because our state didn't have the money to fix the damn roads. Hell, under his aegis, Michigan made history when Kalkaska schools were the first school district in American history to not have a full school year because of a lack of funding.

I shudder to think about how Jennifer Granholm was treated throughout her run as governor. She spent a lot of her time wiping Michigan clean of Engler's BS, and people blamed her for Michigan's economic downfall in the 2000s. Oh, but pRick Snyder proved that a tough nerd can fix things! He ran Gateway into the ground and did the same to Michigan. Three words: Flint water crisis.

When Lou Anna Simon was out as Michigan State University president over the Larry Nassar scandal, the daughter of Charles Nelson Reilly and Roger Ebert was replaced with Engler. Why? Because he was an MSU good 'ol boy. The students revolted and many like myself thought that MSU was crazy for making him interim president. Well, the people got their wish.

Engler has resigned as MSU interim president after he was quoted in the Detroit Free Press as saying that Nassar's victims enjoyed the spotlight and recognition. I saw what he said and shook my head.

You know, Nassar molested over 250 young girls. These poor women are scarred for life over what this fucked up monster did. Engler showed how shallow and selfish he is with making that comment. The MSU Board of Trustees should be kicking themselves in the ass by hiring him in the first place.

If I could turn back time, I wished I had some of Nassar's victims with me on that flight so they could confront his fat ass for his mindless attitude. Hell, I would love to see one of them kick him in the nuts to feel the pain they felt while being molested by that asshole. Flying with Engler is on par or worse than sitting by a crying baby or a flatulent fat guy.

To quote the great Waylon Jennings to Buddy Holly on that fateful day in 1959, "I hope your plane crashes".

I better not be on it then.

Last week, the Fall 2018 Nielsen radio ratings were released for Grand Rapids and Radio-info.com gave its listeners a small surprise: ratings info for the non-commercial stations.

Not surprisingly, the top-ranked non-comm was good 'ol WCSG, a station still going strong, several years after their morning host got busted for sexually assaulting young boys. The Christian AC station registered a 5.6, good for #5.

The top four was comprised of WSNX - which returned to #1 - B93, WOOD-AM/FM and hot AC Mix 95-7 in its best showing in 20 years. WGRD was knocked to #6 in the ratings. Time to dump the shitty butt rock from the 70s.

But one station that's proven to be an embarrassment is 1680 WPRR. Public Reality Radio only registered a .3, tied for 24th place with Holland's WHTC 1450. WPRR only beat out three other stations in the rankings: Muskegon oldies 98.3 WLCS (a station whose signal no longer makes it to Grand Rapids because of a translator for Catholic WVHF), Christian WNHG 98.7 and perennial ratings wasteland 1230 WTKG.

Beating out WPRR includes GVSU's oldies outlet WGVU-AM 1480 (.5), religious WGNB 89.3 (1.6) and NPR outlet WVGR 104.1 (4.7).

Now, I used to love WPRR, especially for their twice-weekly program Southpaws, which is co-hosted by Darren Gibson. Gibson also programmed the station until a 2016 when station owner Bob Goodrich canned him, claiming that ratings were down. Gibson claimed otherwise, claiming that it was a sucker move by the local Democratic Party and fellow WPRR host Tyrone Bynum. Gibson pissed off hardcore Democrats for not supporting Hillary Clinton in the presidential election. Instead, he supported Green Party candidate Jill Stein, especially after how the Dems treated Bernie Sanders.

I do wonder what WPRR's ratings were under Gibson. It wouldn't be too surprising if it was much higher. But considering what he did to the now-defunct 640 WMFN, it's no surprise that Tyrone Bynum is now doing the same.

You know, I wonder how Bob Goodrich is allowing WPRR to survive. It operates like a non-comm, though it isn't in the eyes of the FCC. They also ask for donations on their website. Yet, Goodrich is the owner of one of the largest movie theater chains in America.

The sad truth is that WPRR is supposed to be the progressive voice of Grand Rapids, but Bynum was an ass-kisser to Hillary. The Dems need more real progressives like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez instead of corporate no-nothings like Hillary. Of course, Goodrich ran for Congress (and lost), so he probably feels that if it has a (D) after its name, it's all good.

Look, if a candidate is not for universal health care, free education and overbloating our military, they shouldn't get elected, period. What WPRR and Goodrich did to Darren was sick and twisted. Then again, Goodrich is a man who allowed his ass to get kicked by the Loeks family. While they're building and renovating their theaters in Grand Rapids, Goodrich hasn't had a presence in this town in years. His nearest theater to GR in Ada is a shithole comparing to any Celebration! Cinema.

You get shit, and you give shit.

When you are part of the top college football team in America, you should be on top of the world.

But with Drumpf as president, don't expect to be treated like a king. Instead, you'll be facing Burger King.

Clemson won the national college football title this year and like many teams that win championships, they were invited to the White House to meet the president.

The bad news? They went to the White House to meet the president.

The Clemson team were treated to a feast of fast food. No pasta, no dry-aged steaks, nuthin'. Good 'ol Drumpf claimed that it was the shutdown's fault and the Dems not wanting to support his stupid wall. The Fighting Tigers were treated worse than the pussies Drumpf grabbed with his tiny hands over the years.

Now, I think it's an honor to meet any president, especially one you admire. Not to mention that South Carolina's in the heart of Drumpf Country. But even though I'm a Michigan/Michigan State guy - depending on the team - Clemson deserved better. Hell, I would have had Chipotle catered in! But this is el cheapo Drumpf, a man who's worth billions and is giving the gift of grease to a bunch of young men who could have simply gone through a Wendy's drive thru to get a Baconator.

BTW, I commend Family Guy for lampooning Drumpf last weekend. The only good thing about his presidency is that he's giving comedy writers a break since his shit writes itself.

And it's helping me, too.

1.14.19 Bee-otch of the Day: Joe Lieberman

BECOME AN AFFILIATE OF T-SHIRT HELL AND MAKE SOME MONEY!

Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday; Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Sunday morning on Chuck69.com.

Bee-otched For: not being down with AOC

Some Democrats will never learn.

Even though Al Gore and Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in the presidential election in 2000 and 2016 respectively, they lost because they didn't get the right support.

Of course, Hillary lost in part because of how her fellow Dems treated Bernie Sanders. They didn't like him being a man for the American people while Hillary would do the same until somebody gave her a few bucks.

But now, the reason in part why Al Gore lost the 2000 election is blasting the future of the party. Joe Lieberman, Gore's running mate is blasting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for being too far to the left. In an interview on Fox Business Network, Lieberman claimed that "if you look at the majority of new Democrats in the house, they tend to be, I say, center-left, if they are not left-left. And that is because they had to be center-left to win some of those competitive swing districts that they took from Republicans. So that’s the hope."

AOC responded by a Tweet that read that Lieberman is now the "second fallen GOP vice presidential candidate" who has attacked her. Although he was a Democrat, Lieberman was noted for his ultra-right-wing views. As a matter of fact, he was even a noted member of the Parents Television Council, a group of assholes who have nothing better to do but tell us what not to watch on TV. Other members of the PTC include the late Steve Allen, movie critic-turned-right-winged asshole talk show host Michael Medved, former Kansas governor and senator Sam Brownback and The Beaver, Jerry Mathers. Lieberman also was known for his attacks on Howard Stern, even handing him his so-called "Golden Sewer Award".

You know, most of America is progressive. Most Americans want free healthcare, affordable housing, affordable schools and less crime. Sadly, Al Gore shot himself in the ass super cereal when he picked Lieberman as his running mate. End result: the melee with chads in Florida and the fact that Dubya won that election even though he lost by 500,000 votes.

Sorry, folks, but it's people like Joe Lieberman that are the reason why the Democrats are getting their sorry asses kicked. People WANT a real president who can solve problems. This is why if the Dems fuck over another progressive in 2020, SURPRISE! Four more years of Drumpf.

Maybe Lieberman is getting dementia.

1.10.19 Bee-otch of the Day: "Angela B."

BECOME AN AFFILIATE OF T-SHIRT HELL AND MAKE SOME MONEY!

For the past few years, I've been making occasional videos showcasing malls like the one above.

Last summer, I was in Traverse City and decided to shoot two videos. One was of Grand Traverse Mall and the other was of Cherryland, seen above.

Well, the response to the videos have been positive, but last week, one woman named "Angela B." decided to write this comment:

"Was going to give you a thumbs up until you called the Republicans a**sholes. That really wasn't necessary."

Now, I made that comment because Cherryland is the home of the local Republican Party headquarters. And yes, I hate the Republican party.

Personally, I don't know who this "Angela B." is. That's her name on YouTube and she doesn't have any videos up. But, guess what? I have a license to hate the Repukes with a passion. I was born in the age of Reaganomics and by the time it was time for me to have a grownup job, I was fucked. Severely. I graduated high school with honors and went to a small vocational school here in Michigan. When I graduated in 2001, nobody wanted to hire me. I had to go back to my high school job washing dishes. When they decided to hire an older man to do my job, they knocked me down to two days per week. I ended up having to work at a convenience store stocking shelves. Meanwhile, my asshole drunk racist Polack REPUBLICAN stepdad was pressuring me to get my own place, even though my c-store had been sold and my new boss knocked my hours down. I had to wait a year before I found a real job and even that sucked. For ten years, my asshole drunk Hollander Jebus freak REPUBLICAN boss didn't give me a raise while he was buying $50,000 trucks and going on vacations every other month. Thankfully, he retired in 2012, but when he did, I was paying off four credit cards per month.

In my life, we've only had two Democrats as president vs. four Republicans. The only times I've seen growth in this country was when Clinton and Obama were president. Now with the Orange Shitgibbon as president, my 401(K) has shrunk and he wants to build a useless wall on the basis of racism against Mexicans. I loved the fact that when his speech pleading for support of the wall was being aired on the CBC in Canada, they were quick to provide facts that Drumpf is wrong all along.

You know, I love northern Michigan. But, a lot of the people are indeed assholes. I'll betcha this "Angela B." cunt lives up north and does so because she had to get away from the blacks in Detroit. Sadly, that's a huge reason why people love northern Michigan. But when I was a kid, there wasn't much to do. Why? The Repukes were more about giving kids curfews and more laws rather than giving us places to hang out and do things. It's because of the Repukes that I ended up here in Grand Rapids. True, the Devoses pretty much own the town, but at least there's plenty to do.

So, will I censor my thoughts? FUCK NO. If you don't like me, fine. Think about it this way, too: when Cherryland went from being a mall to being an outdoor strip, business started to improve. But guess what happened not long after the economic collapse of 2008? IT WENT INTO FORECLOSURE! It lost Tom's Food Market (though it was replaced with a Big Lots) and it only got even worse since with the loss of Sears, Kmart and Younkers. The fact that it's now owned by the same slumlord who allowed a few skyscrapers in Flint to crumble doesn't help matters, either.

Oh and by the way, if you want to censor the word "asshole", try "a**hole". "Asshole" doesn't have eight letters.

Isn't it great that we live in a Democratic country?

Last night at 9PM, I was watching the beginning of MSU's victory against Perdue in men's basketball.

Needless to say, the Spartans are better at basketball than Baby Drumpf is running our country.

Yeah, I avoided watching him from his high chair in the Oval Office, sitting next to a picture of his immigrant mother bitching against the same type of people his mother was. Sorry, I don't live in Nazi Germany.

Of course, I didn't watch the Democrats' response, either, given by Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. Granted, they are the lesser of the evils between them and Humpty Drumpfty. But sadly in this case, the lesser of all evils is still evil.

You see, I knew this mess would happen. Why? Because establishment types like Pelosi and Schumer spat on Bernie Sanders during the 2016 election. Now, they - especially Pelosi - are spitting on people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib for wanting to do what most Americans want: the impeachment of Drumpf.

Remember folks, Pelosi was given the power to impeach Dubya the first time she was Madame Speaker. She didn't and despite being wanted in many a country for war crimes and causing the idiotic deaths of over 7,000 people because of 9/11 and fake wars, he's still a free man. People are cheering for Pelosi, but for what? To me, the Dems are making the same fucking mistakes by being too milquetoast.

Today, Pelosi, Schumer and Drumpf were schlepped into a room and guess who walked out in tears? From the looks of things, either the Dems or Drumpf will give up, but until them, government workers are the ones suffering.

Moderate Dems better shit or get off the pot.
