2.28.19 Bee-otch of the Day: Donald Trump

Ya know, I think a lot of Drumpf's fans are sad that them lib'rul media folks are putting more attention on the fact that he's the next Nixon vs. what he's trying to do in office.

The reality is, is that all he's doing is fucking it up worse.

While Michael Cohen was on Capitol Hill yesterday, telling the truth on Drumpf, the Orange Shitgibbon was in Vietnam trying to convince Kim Jong-un to retire their nukes program to no avail. This further proves that he's just like all other Repuke presidents: as useless as tits on a bull.

The good news in all this is that Drumpf is now many steps closer to impeachment, or better, jail. It is the hope of America that this nightmare will end once and for all. It's a shame that we had eight great years of Obama, and now, we're stuck with a racist prick of a president who wants to invest in a wall instead of healthcare or helping the middle class.

I hope to God that the Dems don't make the same mistake they made in 2016 and allow the real winner in the primaries to run for president. If Pence is president, God help us there, too. Let's remember that he's the asshole who fucked over the LGBT community in Indiana when he was governor. Who knows?

All I can say is that the Dems fuck up again, I WILL be voting Green Party in 2020.

2.27.19 Bee-otch of the Day: Meijer



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

-------



Name: Meijer
Age: 85
Occupation: mega retailer
Last Seen: Walker, MI
Bee-otched For: shutting down Tom's
 
-

When The Kinks released "Come Dancing" in 1982, it was a surprise hit on the pop charts.

Maybe it was simply because of its sentimental value. The song - written about Ray Davies' late sister - talked about her dancing in a palley which was transformed into a bowling alley, then a supermarket and finally into a parking lot.

Fifty years ago in the Traverse City suburb of Acme, Michigan sat the Tanz Haus, a small concert venue and nightclub where local and regional rock bands played. Two of those acts included two relatively-unknown kids named Ted Nugent and Bob Seger. However, it was demolished in the 1980s to make way for a Kmart, which was right next to a Tom's Food Market and across from the Grand Traverse Resort.

Tom's was built in Acme in 1983. Originally, they only took up 2/3 of the building while the other 1/3 was occupied by a Rite Aid. After Rite Aid moved out in the 1990s, Tom's took over its old spot. I had fond memories of Tom's, shopping there with my grandmother who died last year.

However, the Acme Tom's has had a tough road these past few years since a Meijer opened only a few miles away on M-72. It didn't help matters when Kmart closed last year.

Yesterday, Tom's president Christy Kuhnke - the granddaughter of Tom's founder Tom Deering - announced that it was no longer economically feasible to keep the Acme store open. Thankfully, many of the store's employees will be able to find work at the company's five other locations.

Acme residents and officials fought tooth and nail to not allow the Meijer store to open. After all, Meijer hired a PR firm to try to get Acme's elected officials fired for not allowing them to build along M-72. In the end in 2015, the 240,000-square-foot store opened, complete with coffin nails being shot at Tom's and Kmart.

Granted, Kmart is not in good financial shape thanks to the poor management of former CEO Eddie Lampert. But Tom's is a different story. After the Acme closure, they will still have five stores, including two that were built within the past 15 years at West Bay and Interlochen. Oddly enough, the Interlochen store forced another supermarket down the street, Ric's to shutter last year. Now, it's a book store. In the company's 73 years in business, they've only closed three stores: their original location on 11th Street (which became a Salvation Army store), Cherryland Center (which ironically had a Kmart in the building) and now, Acme.

Granted, I've had a love-hate relationship with Meijer. Hell, I'd rather shop there over Walmart. But the fact is that because of their M-72 location, it caused the road commission to re-route the road to now have (da-dada-daaaaaa) ROUNDABOUTS! True, it's 100% not Meijer's fault that traffic on M-72 has increased a shit ton in the past 20 years or so. A lot of the blame, too goes to Turtle Creek Casino. As a kid, I remembered when Williamsburg was a sleepy little ghost town with one gas station. Now, it has three, including one owned by Turtle Creek themselves.

I know, times they are-a-changin'. But what's sad is that Tom's is a local business to Traverse City. Meijer is from Grand Rapids. The days of stores that only sell groceries and not a one-stop shopping experience are ending. Hell, the family that owns Tom's relatives had a store in nearby Empire and it closed last year, too. It was no longer profitable. But what's sad is that Meijer bullied their way to get their store in Acme built and they got their wish. What's worse is that Tom's in Acme was only a few years to survive. The Meijers are billionaires and probably don't pay much in taxes vs. the Deerings.

Now, the town has TWO huge empty spaces to worry about.

2.26.19 Bee-otch of the Day: Donald Trump


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.

-------



Name: Donald Trump
Age: 72
Occupation: mop
Last Seen: North Korea
Bee-otched For: turning me into a bank
 
-

It seems that people look at me like I'm a bank.

They all think that I wear a Native American headdress and am a person they can count on when the going's rough. In two years alone, I've given two people money and services and they never paid me back. Hell, I unfriended somebody who wanted me to loan him $500. I hope it gives him a big "aha" moment.

With apologies to a certain insurance company located in the state of Nebraska that will obviously remain nameless, Mutual of King Chuck is done loaning money to those whose head is shoved way up their ass. But, I do make exceptions.

Last week, my mom made an unfortunate announcement. she was afraid that she wouldn't make rent this month, so she asked me to loan her $100. Thankfully, her taxes are coming back this week, so she's OK. However, she's making $1000 less on her federal returns.

Looking at Drumpf and his North Korea bullshit, I shudder to think on the fact that he's buds with Kim Jong-Il while he thumbs his nose at all of our allies. Meanwhile, Michael Cohen is ready to dish out a lot of the shit regarding Drumpf that I hope will damn him forever.

If there's at least one person in all this who I love to death, it's our state attorney general, Dana Nessel. She, along with other AGs are against Drumpf's wall and is also fighting against clergy who rape young children. Tonight, Congress voted against Drumpf's wall, leaving the Senate to think what's next.

The Drumpf presidency is one (ahem) Wild Kingdom.

2.25.19 Bee-otch of the Day: Robert Kraft

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

-------



Name: Robert Kraft
Age: 77
Occupation: New England Patriots owner
Last Seen: unknown
Bee-otched For: rubbing and tugging his way into jail
 
-

This was a huge weekend for awards.

The Academy Awards were handed out yesterday, with the brilliant "Green Book" winning Best Picture. "Bohemian Rhapsody" was the big winner in terms of wins with four statues.

Let's not forget that the Oscars weren't the only ceremony this weekend. On Saturday, the Razzies were handed out, with "Holmes and Watson" winning top honors. "Fahrenheit 11/9" also took home a few trophies, but not because the film was bad. It's because its main star, Drumpf is, well, Drumpf.

But now, there's another award to hand out, and it's the Bee-otch of the Day. And it goes to a man who won a much-more-prestigious trophy a few weeks ago: his sixth Super Bowl as owner of the New England Patriots.

Robert Kraft was charged for having sexual relations with prostitutes at massage parlors in Florida. He was caught when the parlors were raided as part of a sex trafficking ring last week.

As of tonight, a warrant has been issued for his arrest. If  prosecuted, Kraft could spend a year in prison.

Of course, there's a part of me that says that he's probably hoping that they serve Kraft Macaroni and Cheese in jail. But apparently, Kraft is NOT related to Kraft Foods. As a matter of fact, he made his billions from owning paper mills.

You know, the news of Kraft's bust makes me happy. I'm sick of the Patriots and their cheating. Plus, it's sick that he's good pals with Drumpf. Yet, he claims to be a Democrat.

If Kraft is convicted and the NFL doesn't ban him, it will show how hypocritical they are. It's OK for an owner to get his dick rubbed by an Asian hooker while Colin Kaepernick and others can't kneel during the National Anthem. The truth is that Kraft might be worth billions, but the reality is that he's not above the law.

Let's hope that this will not be a happy ending for Kraft.

2.21.19 Bee-otches of the Day: Grand Traverse County commissioners





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.

-------



Names: various
Ages: various
Occupations: county commissioners
Last Seen: Traverse City, MI
Bee-otched For: praying for disaster
 
-

Traverse City: love the area, but I can't stand some of the people.

In January, the county commission passed a resolution 4-3 that forces each meeting to begin with a prayer. The issue at hand has really opened up a can of worms since the commission has discussed Christianity as the main religion, though the commission could not force others not into Christianity into their religion.

One of the county commissioners who voted in favor of prayer, Rob Hentschel, is one of the owners of Roy's General Store in Traverse City. The store is famous for their witty sayings on their letterboard in front of the store like "Best chicken noodle soup this side of the flu" and "time is a wonderful healer, but a horrible beautician".

Sadly, some people - especially devout Christians - feel that prayer is important, especially in the government. However, they don't realize that America is a country where people are free to talk about religion, they don't mention in the Constitution WHICH ONE. Plus, our founding fathers weren't really Christian to begin with. They were deists, meaning that they believed in God, just not the Devil.

When I think of northern Michigan and Christianity, I think of the shitty non-denominational church I went to that begged for $1.7 million on one Sunday. Of course, my Dad and I left that place. And then, there's the asshole family I once knew that are a bunch of Drumpf supporters and love to spit on those who don't adhere to their views. The patriarch is a drunk and often verbally abused his late wife. When she was pregnant with her four kids, she drank and smoked like crazy. As a result, all four kids had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, which really affected her daughter. The oldest son slept with a prostitute and gave his wife Scleroderma via Chlamydia. Scleroderma, BTW was the disease that killed Bob Saget's sister. The second-oldest son took his wife's money and invested it into a failed computer business and then cheated on her with the woman who became his third wife. He's on wife #4 and apparently, she has a son with Asperger's Syndrome that he teases and berates all the time.

Oh, and that douchebag was my former stepdad.

The sad truth is that people like those make Christianity look bad. And when they try to throw the idea of separation of church and state down the shitter, they totally forget that there are Christian nations around the world. These nations enslave their citizens and torture them. Of course, under Drumpf's aegis, the reality is now happening here in America.

But don't look at me. I don't vote Republican.

Drumpf is learning a lesson: he's not above the law.

Last week, he declared a state of emergency to build his pet wall. But now, 17 attorneys general are telling him that he's just simply not above the law. 

One of those AGs is my state's, Michigan's Dana Nessel. She has declared Drumpf's state of emergency unconstitutional, plus the fact that it's her job to help protect us Michiganders from foolish bullshit created by the president. 

The thing is, is that many border towns have walls and those south of the border will always find a way over. There's crime everywhere north of the border and yet the Orange Shitgibbon will make excuses to get the wall built. There's other national emergencies out there, like 44 million Americans without health insurance, millions with a shit ton of college debt and so on.

The good news in all this is that Bernie Sanders is running for president again! I hope to God that the DNC doesn't fuck him over again like the last time. This country needs to reverse the bullshit Drumpf created. Tax the rich 90%, not close to nothing or nothing at all! Hell, I'd love to see AOC as his Veep, though she's not old enough. Let's build up the middle class, not walls!

Democrats, get your heads out of your asses!

2.19.19 Bee-otches of the Day:The Dickey Brothers



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

-------



Names: Lew and John Dickey
Ages: 56, 51
Occupations: founders, Cumulus Media
Last Seen: Atlanta, GA
Bee-otched For: getting their asses wiped
 
-

Well, it's official: a radio station named in honor of Frank Zappa will be leaving the airwaves soon.

WPLJ 95.5 New York City - a station currently playing soccer mom pop favorites - is among several stations being sold by Cumulus Media in a deal worth over $100 million. WPLJ, along with six other stations including Washington, D.C.'s WRQX and San Jose's KFFG (which already simulcasts SanFran's KFOG) for $103 million.

WPLJ is being sold to the Educational Media Foundation and is expected to flip to their K-Love network, playing Contemporary Christian music. Last year, Cumulus sold another heritage station - WLUP 97.9 Chicago - to the same company.

WPLJ had been a hot AC formatted station for around 25 years. However, it began its life as WPLJ as a rock station in 1972. Their call sign was derived from Zappa's 1969 remake of a 1950s doo-wop song from The Four Aces called "W-P-L-J", short for wine port and lemon juice. Competition from other rock stations in the market forced WPLJ to flip to Top 40 in 1983 and Hot AC a decade later.

Cumulus is also swapping some of their other stations, including the flagship of their flailing Nash country format, WNSH 94.7, to Entercom. Cumulus has been criticized for rolling out the format on their stations nationwide, including the now-defunct Nash 94.5 here in west Michigan. Now, its flagship will be no more and might even flip formats.

Cumulus, OTOH will be getting a few of Entercom's stations in Indianapolis, including heritage CHR WZPL 99.5.

Friday, Cumulus' stock closed at $15.87, WAY UP from the penny stock it was last year. After the dust is settled, Cumulus will only have one New York City station, WABC. No word if that station will be eventually sold.

Also, no word on if other Cumulus properties will be sold. Here in west Michigan, they recently did some changes to their stations, moving the country format of Nash to what is now Thunder 107.3, moving 107.3's former sports format to AM 1340, displacing syndicated news/talk and creating a new AAA format on 94.5.

It seems that Cumulus is trying to redeem itself from all the damages their founders, the Dickey brothers did to the company over the years. Yep, this is the same two assholes who bought up a bunch of Howard Stern affiliates and dumped him for the awful Lex and Terry show. Hell, in Toledo, Stern's Detroit station I think was tied with his old station there, and there was co-channel interference!

Of course, the Dickeys were also the same assholes who dumped The Dixie Chicks from all their stations because of Natalie Maines' trashing of George W. Bush and also dumped progressive talk in leftist Ann Arbor for shitty money talk.

In the end, the Dickeys were forced out of their own company. Leave it to a woman like Mary Berner  to fix those assholes' problems. I'm still shaking my head as to why after spending a shit ton of money on 94.7 New York (they bought it from the estate of doomsday preacher Harold Camping; 'memba him?) and putting on a format that just simply doesn't fit with New York. After all, CBGBs started as a failed country music club, but found its footing with punk in the mid 70s.

Folks, if you own a failing radio station, for God's sake, do your fucking research. What works in Atlanta won't work in New York. No wonder why Cumulus was a penny stock.

Radio: listeners? Who are they?

2.14.19 Bee-otch of the Day: The Recording Academy



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

-------



Name: The Recording Academy
Age: 62
Occupation: the people who do the Grammys
Last Seen: Santa Monica, CA
Bee-otched For: having rocks in their head
 
-

Vinnie Paul Abbott was a very accomplished man who did more in his 54 years on earth than most would ever accomplish in a lifetime.

He was the drummer of not one, but at least three bands that dominated hard rock over the past 30 years. One of those bands, Pantera was one of the few bands in the 90s that one could call an alternative to alternative. Vinnie also had to live through Pantera's break-up in the early 00s and dodging bullets as he witnessed the death of his younger brother Dimebag Darrell.

Pantera, Damageplan and Hellyeah - along with Vinnie's other side projects - all sold millions of albums. And yet, The Recording Academy thinks that he's not worthy of a tribute.

On Sunday's telecast of the Grammy Awards, Abbott's name was left out of their memorial segment. The dick move pissed off many a metalhead, leaving Halestorm's Lzzy Hale to write this scathing piece.

Of course, the tragedy of award show memorial pieces is that they're not perfect. They always honor the janitor while some of the almost-household names get omitted. Why Abbott was ignored for the segment is anyone's guess.

There's the factor that Pantera once embraced the Confederate flag. After all, Dimebag did play a guitar with the emblem on it. Plus, there's the fact that lead singer Phil Anselmo once did a Nazi salute before screaming "white power" in front of concertgoers. But were they THAT racist? Only God knows. Then again, Ed King of Lynyrd Skynyrd fame got memorialized, and they fly the flags at their concerts.

Then again, the late rapper XXXtentacion was also left out of the Grammy tribute. Some sources claim that it was the fact that he had several assault charges against him prior to his death last June at age 20 when he was shot.

But yes, this is the same Recording Academy who handed Jethro Tull - and not Metallica - a Grammy for Best Metal Album a long time ago. Yes, to the Recording Academy, this is metal.

Oh, and what's the dilly-o on handing Drake a RAP Grammy for "God's Plan"? Great song, but IT'S NOT FUCKING RAP!!!

Back to Lzzy's letter; she's 100% right that rock - especially the rock of today - does not get the respect that it deserves. Thankfully, there's Greta Van Fleet, though God only knows how long their Led Zeppelin shtick will last. Look at rock radio: since Telecom 96, it's only gotten worse. Many major markets like New York and Los Angeles don't have a real rock station. However, here in Michigan, it's doing well. Hell, look at Rock 105/95-5 in northern Michigan: they're neck-and-neck with old fogey rocker WKLT! Rock 105/95-5 is definitely one of the better rock stations in the state, especially since they lay off the butt rock and mostly focus on rock from the 90s onward.

You see, rock's not dead. It just needs better promotion and support from labels and radio. With Cumulus selling most of their stations in New York to Entercom, I think they should flip one of those frequencies to rock. Who knows? I think it might work. They just need to know what audience they have and do their research.

Rock's not dead. It's sleeping and it needs to wake up.

2.12.19 Bee-otches of the Day: Tuffy and Christian Brothers Automotive



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

-------



Names: Tuffy Tire and Auto Service, Christian Brothers Automotive
Ages: 49, 37
Occupation: auto repair shops
Last Seen: Tuffy: near 28th and Eastern in Grand Rapids, Christian Brothers: next to Meijer on 28th and Kalamazoo in Grand Rapids
Bee-otched For: being total ripoffs
 
-

Like 99.infinity9% of most Michiganders, I can't wait til winter is over.

Of course, the kids are enjoying their snow days, but for us that have to drive to work daily, it sucks being an adult.

One victim to this ass nasty weather in this state has been my car. I only bought it in September and so far, I've had to replace a lot because of the weather: battery, ball bearings, brake line, a tie rod... I ask myself why I didn't buy new this time around.

Or even better, why I went to chain shops instead of a dependable mom and pop shop for repairs.

A few weeks ago, right in front of my workplace, the brakes went out. I had to push the brake pedal all the way down to make it stop. So, after work,  I took it in to Tuffy on 28th Street near Eastern. It was 0 degrees and the roads were pure black ice. Since it was the nearest repair shop to work, it was a must, no matter the price.

And it was the price that I paid. $557 for a new brake line. I told my dad about what happened and he agreed: they are a ripoff.

Then, the ABS and traction system lights came on. I decided to give Thomsons Automotive on 28th Street near Kalamazoo a try since I heard good things about them. They did notice a few other things wrong with my car, like a tie rod issue. I told them about the brake line and they told me that they put the thing on with a zipline. They also told me that they definitely ripped me off and that they would have only charged me about $300 for my car.

Well, a few days later, the shit hit the fan again. When I went out to the car to start it last Friday morning, the driver's side door was frozen shut. I ended up getting some water to try to unfreeze it to no avail. I did get the passenger's side unopened, thankfully. Later on that day, I was finally able to get my driver's side door opened at the parking lot at the 28th and Kalamazoo Meijer. The bad news? I couldn't close it. I tried closing it as hard as I could, but nothin' doin'.

Then, I realized that there was another auto repair shop, Christian Brothers right next door. I went there, holding my driver's side door for dear life. Christian Brothers - believe it or not - is a so-called Christ-centered auto repair shop. Their waiting room looks like a doctor's office with no TV, a bunch of boring magazines and a stack of bibles on a table. I told one of the people at the counter about my door not closing and a few minutes later a black man came out and checked the door. He told me that they would have to tear the door apart to see what's wrong. But, since it was Friday afternoon and they were crazy busy, I took my keys and drove off, holding the door for dear life again.

Well, I got to Thomson's, knowing that since I didn't have an appointment I probably would be stuck with an open door forever. Well, I got there and one of the mechanics took my car into one of the bays, sprayed some oil into the lock, opened and closed the door several times and VIOLA! Problem solved. He didn't charge me a penny and I was happy.

You know, if you go to Thomsons' website, they boast about their 4.8 rating. I totally agree that they're one of the VERY FEW places in town that are reliable in terms of taking care of your automobile. Chain shops tend to hire high school kids who cut corners and they overcharge. What's even more pathetic is that "Christian" Brothers should have fixed my door there plain and simple instead of having some asshole tell me that getting my door fixed would cost me an arm and a leg and they couldn't do it today. Honestly, I don't think they care about my - or anyone else's - safety. But, they are a "Christian" business and one thing I've learned about life is that businesses that claim to be Christian tend to be scam artists. Sorry, but I'd rather go to a repair shop that reeks of stale coffee and only has one Snickers bar in the vending machine over a shop that doesn't care two shits about my safety. Christian Brothers and Tuffy will never see a dime from my pocket again.

What would Jesus do? Go to Thomsons.

I knew those pillows were a sham.

We have all been exposed to those annoying late infomercials advertising MyPillow. You know, the pillows that look like they were stuffed with cigarette butts, styrofoam and those painful bitewings your dentist makes you bite through while he's taking X-rays of your teeth? The face of MyPillow is Mike Lindell, who created the $50 pile of fluff in 2004. He claims that he created the pillows after he studied sleep disorders.

He also created the pillows while he was addicted to crack and booze.

According to Lindell, he recently revealed that his addictions cost him his house, his marriage and almost his MyPillow business. He claims to have been sober since 2009.

Since achieving sobriety, the MyPillow business took off and the whole world is suffering from severe earworm from their annoying Chordettes-esque jingle. True, we *should* praise him for winning his drug battle, but he still acts like he's smoking crack.

For starters, his flack from the Better Business Bureau because of their ill-fated "buy one, get one free" ordeal. Even more, Lindell is a right-wing turd. Hell, he's pals with Drumpf! Drumpf even praised him at his rallies. Also, when the victims of the Parkland school shooting called for a boycott of MyPillow for advertising on Laura Ingraham's Fox News Channel show, he boosted his advertising on the show.

Now, Lindell is using part of his $300 million fortune to finance a movie that attacks one of the most important organizations out there, Planned Parenthood. He's funding $1 million for "Unplanned", a movie based on the true story of fat bitch anti-abortion activist Abby Johnson. In the movie, Johnson works for Planned Parenthood and is forced to watch an abortion via ultrasound. The experience scars her, leading her to become pro-life.

Lindell himself has a cameo in the movie, where he plays a construction worker tearing down a Planned Parenthood clinic to make way for an anti-abortion center.

The movie is being released by Pure Flix, the ultra-conservative Christian film distribution firm that gave us the "God's Not Dead" movies and the crockumentaries of convicted felon Dinesh D'souza. "Unplanned" will be released on March 29. Chances are that it will be panned by critics and since it will be in only 800 screens, it might make a tiny profit, if any.

Look, there's a reason why women have abortions in the first place. It's because they're poor and broke and they can't handle the responsibility of being a single parent. Ok, there's adoption, but too many kids never get adopted and those who do usually end up having no real love in life. I even knew several adopted children who were raised by assholes or ended up being assholes themselves.

Recently, I read a tweet from a young actress who had an abortion at 16. She says that thanks to the procedure, she has had a better life and doesn't regret it. Teenage moms are stuck with an unwanted child and no life and no money.

It's funny how someone like Mike Lindell can call himself pro-life and yet he kisses the ass of a filthy cunt who chastised the victims of a horrific shooting disaster. Sorry, but I don't view that train of thought as Christian. He can take his shitty pillows and that awful jingle and shove them both up his ass.

Here's a better pillow: THIS! I got two of them when Brookstone had a store here in Grand Rapids. They're quite comfortable and snugly. Yes, they ain't cheap, but it's $50 that won't be going to any future Razzie-winning films made to make Jebus happy.

Somebody who works at MyPillow should stuff them with coat hangers.

Well, last night, Drumpf had his little State of the Union. I didn't watch it and guess what? The sun rose and went down today.

I'm at that point where I know that every little thing that poops out of his orange mouth will be pure shit. From what I've heard, he talked about the Russia investigation and immigration. Yawn. That seven-year-old he invited because of his last name would agree.

The winners last night it seemed were the women. Stacy Abrams, who ran for governor in Georgia gave the Democratic response. I read a chunk of her speech and tell you the truth, SHE should be the president! While Drumpf wants to build a wall based on racist lies, Abrams claims that it's time to make life better for all.

Ya know, it's funny that all the MAGAt yokels who voted for him are all in denial. He simply used them to use their hard-earned money to fly to and from Mar-a-Lago and his wealth. I just heard early this morning that 250 jobs are leaving Ludington in northern Michigan. For a town of 8,000, it is a sizable blow.

I hope to God that the Dems grow a pair so Drumpf will be out in 2020. If all they get are a bunch of moderates, even with his pathetic 37% approval rating, he will win with the aid of the white man's affirmative action, aka the electoral college. Just think, do you think 2008 was bad? Wait a few more years, baby.

At least Dubya gave us money.

2.5.19 Bee-otch of the Day: Ralph Northam


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.

-------



Name: Ralph Northam
Age: 60
Occupation: governor
Last Seen: Richmond, VA
Bee-otched For: being a racist asshole

It's sad thinking about the fact that people associate Democrats with unity and diversity.

But yet, this is a *southern* Democrat we are talking about here.

It's been as all over the news for the past several days: Virginia governor Ralph Northam being caught in a racist photo in his college yearbook. One day, he's admitting guilt, but the next day, he's claiming no knowledge of it.

Of course, everybody in both parties are calling for Northam's resignation. True, this was the 80s and Northam was in his 20s at the time, the sad reality is that what you do in your past will have a negative effect on your future (signed, the man who named his website Chuck69.com). 

The reality is that the Democrats should be kicking themselves in the ass on this one. Northam is a moderate Democrat and the Dems need to be a helluva lot more progressive than this. People vote Democrat usually because they don't want an asshole who dresses up in blackface as their elected official. They want to move forward and bring unity, not move backwards. 

I agree, Ralph Northam has no right to hold public office. The Dems need more AOCs and less assholes like Northam. 

The word "sorry" will not erase the pain of re-scraping a wound that was created when slaves came to America in chains.

2.4.19 Bee-otch of the Day: NFL



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

-------



Name: National Football League
Age: 98
Occupation: sports league
Last Seen: New York City
Bee-otched For: another shitty Super Bowl
 
-


Another year, another Super Bowl come and gone.

Of course, if you live outside New England or love the Patriots, this wasn't your Super Bowl. If you love actual good music, this wasn't your Super Bowl, either. If you love Super Bowl commercials, however, at least there were some diamonds in the rough. You just had to sit through two yenta mermaids hawking alcoholic water, the Backstreet Boys and people drinking sour milk.

And if you live here in Michigan, the CEO of Consumers Energy for begging people to turn down their thermostats because of the fire at their natural gas plant last week, right smack dab in the middle of one of the worst cold snaps in our state's history.

This year's Super Bowl was the lowest-rate in a decade because it was like the 2016 presidential election. You had the Patriots, a team owned by one of Drumpf's best friends and a quarterback who cheats. Yes, the Rams are better until you realize that the owner, E. Stanley Kroenke is also a Drumpf supporter who made his billions because of his wife being the daughter of one of Walmart's founders. Oh, did I tell you that he also owns the Denver Nuggets NBA team? Yep, he's the same asshole who almost fucked over the WWE because his precious Nuggets were in the playoffs and wanted them to play on a Monday night. The WWE was quickly able to cobble together Monday Night Raw in Los Angeles at the Staples Center. Of course, they were nice enough to have an uncredited actor portray Kroenke as Vince McMahon poked fun of what the E stands for in his name (Enos, which of course sounds like "anus") as he knocked the actor out of the ring.

What's funny is that Enos is called by some as a champion for returning the NFL to Los Angeles, even though he helped move the Rams to St. Louis in the first place when they built a new stadium in 1995. However, The Dome at America's Center was not a fan favorite and the Rams spent their final years in St. Louis with dismal records and low attendance. In 2020, the Rams - along with the Chargers - will move into a $5 billion stadium partly owned by Enos.

Personally, I think that the biggest problem the the NFL are the owners themselves. Explain to me why Colin Kaepernick isn't playing. Oh, I know! It's because a majority of the owners are Repukes and clueless. Look at the Ford family. They've owned the Lions since 1963 and the Lions have only won one playoff game. I'm still fuming that they fired Jim Caldwell two years ago and he was the best coach the team had in 50 years! His replacement, Patricia Matthew was hired simply because of his connection to the Patriots. It's like watching a TV show because it was from the lead custodian of The Big Bang Theory. Just because that show was good doesn't mean that his own creation will be just as good or even better.

Sometimes, I wonder if Caldwell was simply fired because he is black. Last season, the majority of NFL head coaches canned were all African American. Most of their replacements were all white. In the Lions' case, let's not forget that their beloved patriarch was a supporter of Hitler, hint, hint.

And let's not forget that the halftime abortion from Moron 5-er, Maroon 5, the shitty pop band whose fanbase is mostly soccer moms with stinky vaginas. There were better halftime shows out there, like this and this. Whomever got the band known for "Moves Like Jagger" to perform probably has veins like Richards.

Well, there you have it. The NFL needs to wake the fuck up. I think it's time for owners to wake up and realize why their fanbase is getting more older and conservative. Hell, I think it's time for Brady to retire. In the great words of Tenacious D, it's time to pass the torch.

To Tom and all of the Patriots, I hope you enjoy your White House hamburders.
