Name: Cody Wilson
Age: 30
Occupation: gun nut
Last Seen: Austin, TX
Bee-otched For: being too dangerous for human consumption

---

The city of Austin, TX has a slogan: "Keep Austin Weird".

Weird is nice, but sadly, this cuckoo is absolutely dangerous.

A judge in Seattle has shut down plans for Cody Wilson to publish online blueprints to make ten guns, including the AR-15 that was used in the tragic school shooting in Parkland, FL earlier this year. The blueprints could be used by anybody to make them on a 3D printer. This means that anybody who has no access to guns could make them if they wanted to.

Even though the judge blocked Wilson's plans, over 2,500 people now have access to them online.

Drumpf even tweeted, "I am looking into 3-D Plastic Guns being sold to the public. Already spoke to NRA, doesn’t seem to make much sense!"

Yes, it doesn't make much sense, but since Wilson is claiming is First and Second Amendment rights, well, if the eight Attorneys General that want him to stop, it sucks to be him. Of course, the First Amendment is all about free speech, but when you publish something that might lead to the deaths of many, it's worse than screaming "FIRE!" in a crowded theater, even though there is no fire to speak of.

Wilson is the head of Defense Unlimited, a nonprofit group that was going to post the instructions online. the plastic guns would have no serial numbers and wouldn't need a background check. So, this is good news for felons on the street. The guns are also dangerous because the plastic will break, causing them to self-destruct while shooting.

Sadly, With Repukes running the show, they could allow Wilson to release the plans if they wanted to. But this will be a case that I think will be debated and fought for a long time. I feel that semiautomatic guns have no place in society, period. If you have a mental problem, you need to stay away from guns, period.

If this asshole gets his way, prepare for Armageddon.

7.30.18 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 Friday on Chuck69.com.

-------

Name: Donald Trump
Age: 72
Occupation: Satan
Last Seen: Washington, DC
Bee-otched For: being the laughingstock of the world

---

Today, Drumpf said something that shook many peoples' heads, like every other day.

Standing next to Italian PM Giuseppe Conte today at a press conference, he told the crowd that we need to be tougher on immigration and that if both sides of the aisle can't agree on something that he would support a shutdown. If the de facto president can't get the federal funding for his proposed US-Mexico wall, it will lead to a shutdown of the government.

On Sunday, the Orange Shitgibbon released this message on Twitter: "I would be willing to “shut down” government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!"

But to add insult to injury, there's one family who are usually assholes who thinks that the Drumpfster Fire is only getting worse: the Kochs.

Yesterday, on their Freedom Partners YouTube page, they released a commercial attacking Drumpf's tariffs on farmers and businesses. In the past, the family had been known for being ultra-conservative, but if you're to the right of the Kochs, maybe this could be a problem, after all.

Yes, Drumpf is right. We are the laughingstock of the world. Our healthcare is a joke, schools are crumbling to the ground and many Americans haven't had a raise in a decade. It's sad that the fauxgressives who wanted Hillary over Bernie got what they wanted and in the end, we got Drumpf. Want a better life? Too fucking bad.

As long as we have a two-party system and us bowing to billionaires, the world will keep laughing at us and we're the ones with pig's blood all over our prom dress.

7.26.18 Bee-otch of the Day: the Devos family

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 Friday on Chuck69.com.

Name: the Devos family
Age: various
Occupation: rich assholes

Bee-otched For: getting rammed

25 years ago, there was a TV show called seaQuest DSV. It was a show about explorers who navigate the ocean in the future. The show was produced by Steven Spielberg and starred Roy Scheider. However, the show was canceled because of sagging ratings.

Now, the boat called the "SeaQuest", owned by a family trying to take America into the past is now on hiatus because of somebody who did a public service for us middle class people. They untied the yacht and let it float down Lake Huron.

The $40 million boat was discovered untied Sunday morning and ended up striking the dock, causing $10,000 in damages and scratches to the vessel. It's unknown why the 163-foot boat was in Lake Huron, though Betsy Devos recently spoke at an Ohio school.

The SeaQuest is one of ten yachts owned by the Devoses, whose wealth is estimated at $5.3 billion. The police are hoping that surveillance footage will help them discover the hero.

Well, it sucks to be them. This is a family who made their money on a pyramid scheme and has proudly supported hate groups for years. The fact that Betsy has been trying to destroy public schools as education secretary makes them well-deserving of having their precious little boat become unhitched.

You know, folks, my mom drives an older car. Last week, somebody slammed her rear bumper off her car. Thankfully, insurance will fix it. Then, just yesterday, somebody broke in the car, tore out the radio and threw out everything in the glove compartment. Unlike the Devoses, she works her ass off at her job and doesn't deserve this treatment. It only makes me even happier that she's moving here to Grand Rapids in a few months.

As for the Devoses, their little boat will get fixed. But it sucks to be them. But then again, $10,000 to them is $1 to us.

I just hope that the hero who did this doesn't get caught.

7.25.18 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 Friday on Chuck69.com.

Name: Donald Trump
Age: 72

Last Seen: Washington, DC
Bee-otched For: running and being unable to hide

When a headline on NBCNews.com reads "Trump's payments to stop stories about women sound like the John Edwards case", it makes you wonder if this is the end of Drumpf as we know it.

With multiple cases against the de facto president, one is coming out of the woodwork with his lawyer's taped conversation with him in regard to hush money to a former Playboy Playmate. Some are calling this situation similar to John Edwards, the North Carolinian Democratic presidential candidate who paid off his mistress, which was a violation of campaign laws. While he was acquitted, the fact that his wife was dying of cancer at the time forever wrecked his image.

Whether or not this will throw Drumpf in the slammer is up to the future's eye. But the sad thing is the fact that he's still the president and still making some idiotic calls. Case in point: his recent diatribe regarding the FCC's disapproval of Sinclair's buyout of Tribune.

On Twitter, the Orange Shitgibbon cried "So sad and unfair that the FCC wouldn’t approve the Sinclair Broadcast merger with Tribune. This would have been a great and much needed Conservative voice for and of the People. Liberal Fake News NBC and Comcast gets approved, much bigger, but not Sinclair. Disgraceful!" The proposed merger was shot down last week over concerns regarding Sinclair's shell companies (i.e. Cunningham Broadcasting and Howard Stirk Holdings) "owning" stations that are operated by the far-right-winged media giant. Up in my old hometown of Traverse City, MI, Sinclair owns NBC affiliate WPBN 7&4, but operates ABC WGTU 29&8, which is owned by Cunningham, which in turn is owned by members of the Smith family, the main shareholders of Sinclair. FCC rules and regulations state that in a market smaller than #100 (TC is #119), a company cannot own more than one TV station.

You know, it's sad that TC only has four full-powered TV stations and Sinclair owns two of them. The other two, CBS WWTV 9&10 and Fox WFQX "Local 32" (God, what an awful name for a TV station), are in a similar situation. 9&10 is owned by Mario Iacobelli while Local 32 is owned by a friend of his, Alex Bolea. Mario's Heritage Broadcasting operates both. Granted, the Heritage stations should be the lesser of both evils, but since 1) 9&10 dropped Howard Stern's Saturday night show 20 years ago for NRA infomercials and 2) they decided not to air a commercial-free 9/11 documentary in 2006 so they could air a movie and cram it with political ads. So OK, who should I get my news from, then? OK, there's WMNN/MiNews 26, whose signal sucks, making it virtually a cable-only station.

Oh, and let's not forget talk radio. Did you know that the #1 progressive talker on radio, Thom Hartmann, is now mostly on tiny community stations? His sole Michigan affiliate is WPRR/1680 here in Grand Rapids. Yet, AM radio is littered with right-winged talking heads who piss on the middle class or what's left of it.

For Drumpf and his troubled presidency to think that they're winning only puts him in the same bracket of lunacy as Charlie Sheen. Or maybe worse since Sheen does not lead a country. The truth is, time is running out. Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein's gonna get shitcanned and even Ivanka's fashion line is being discontinued. Sucks to be them.

Obama ran this country with a golden fist. Drumpf tweets on the shitter.

On Friday, a rarity occurred in the Spring 2018 Nielsen ratings for Grand Rapids.

For the first time in years, country giant B93 is NOT the #1 radio station in town. It's their CHR sister, 104.5 WSNX.

SNX had a 7.7, giving them their best ratings in ages. As a matter of fact, their ratings have improved 30% overall since last Summer. The Bee, OTOH, dipped from an 8.4 to a 7.1.

Despite having an airstaff that's mostly from Detroit via sister station Channel 9-5-5, WSNX mainly led the ratings mainly because of the fact that they're the most-rhythmic-leaning station in town. Rap and hip-hop are hot right now and the fact that both WSNX and flea-powered Magic 104.9 play a decent deal of it are helping their ratings. It's also known that WSNX's Detroit-fed morning show, Mojo in the Morning is doing quite well in the ratings despite a bumpy beginning thanks to the firing of long-time morning man Ken Evans (now at crosstown 105.3 Hot FM).

Number three belonged to WOOD-AM/FM, four was WLAV and WGRD rounded out the top five. Unlike WSNX, GRD is not really on a ratings tear.

From last Winter to this past Spring, WGRD went from a 7.1 to a 4.8, about 32% of its listeners. Why the huge loss? Well, I think it's because of 1) the constant turnover at The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show and 2) the fact that GRD thinks that their listeners - who love Metallica, KoRn, Tool, Rage Against the Machine and others - also love ZZ Top, Queen and other 1970s butt rock bands that no active rock station should ever play.

Look, if I want to hear classic rock, I would be listening to WLAV or 101.3 The Brew (and talk about VERY shitty ratings for that station). But the morons at Clownsquare have shown how incompetent they are by mixing oil and water. Sometimes, I wish that GR could have a rock station that DOESN'T play anything from before 1980. But since three companies control 95% of all the stations in town, well, there you go.

Sometimes, I wish iHeartMedia, Cumulus and Townsquare would all learn about the success story of WION 1430 in Ionia. Fifteen years ago, the station was airing a talk format. Then the owner died and his widow sold the station to the owner of a two other radio stations in Greenville. The problem was that they also owned a newspaper, and they couldn't get a waiver to own both the paper and WION as needed by the FCC. Well, several months later, the station was sold to three guys from Indiana. The station re-signs on the air almost a year after it was shut down. Instead of a talk format, the station - re-christened "I1430" - started doing something that most AM stations stopped doing decades ago: they play music. WION primarily plays a mix of adult hits and classic rock. Since buying the station, the three have fixed the aging transmitter, added an FM simulcast and even purchased the two stations that the newspaper owners owned, now M106.3.

One of the best parts regarding WION is the fact that every election year, they ban non-federal political ads. Why? Because they can. They want to put their focus on the businesses of Ionia. However, more-corporate radio stations have to air them? Why? Because they're in so much debt that they cannot reject any ads. WION, OTOH, probably has way less debt than their bigger corporate counterparts. They know what their listeners and advertisers want.

In the end, WGRD has seen better days. Put the smack down on Jerry Tarrents all you want, but the second he left the building, it seemed that the whole station fell apart. I think it's sad that Pandora has a better new rock station than GRD. Hell, Rock 105 and 95-5 in northern Michigan stays away from butt rock.

While they're at it, they need to shitcan Livewire Nights as well.
