LEAVE IT TO PEEVER
The breakfast of chumps
— Bumper sticker of
the week: Gay marriage doesnÕt scare me — no healthcare does, war does,
another Bush in the White House does.
— Quote of the week:
ÒIf you see a whole thing — it seems that itÕs always beautiful. Planets,
lives...But up close a worldÕs all dirt and rocks. And day to day, lifeÕs a
hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern.Ó Ursula LeGuin
— It is the basic
duty of Congress to speak up when the President breaks the law. If they donÕt
do it, what good are they?
— Cereal has gotten
cheaper over the years. Of course, thatÕs after they stole from us for years.
Well, Mr. KelloggÕs got nothing on me. Get a load of some of these Peever
favorites:
¥ Meaties: The breakfast of Carnivores. Tiny morsels of
beef, lightly frosted.
¥ Christian Flakes: A tribute to those of you who were
worried about 6/6/06. You canÕt even count on the Devil, but you can for sure
count on these Christian Flakes. TheyÕre divine!
¥ Fried Crispies: Tiny tidbits of anything that crawls.
¥ Drearios: A low key cereal with a depressing aftertaste.
¥ Tricks: A sweet smelling cereal, only for men.
¥ Frosted Mini-Feets: Somebody had to find something to do
with all the chicken feet.
¥ Prune Jacks: Keeps you moving.
¥ Cocaine Peebles: A bite sized pick-me-upper. Throw down
some Pebbles and hang on.
¥ Golden Grams: Measured energy in every bite. ItÕs ÒhighÓ
time you tried some.
¥ Lucky Arms: Hands above the rest. Doubles as finger
food.
— Have you ever:
¥ wondered who is in charge?
¥ fasted for at least 60 minutes?
¥ thought about selling your kids?
¥ ate a whole pie?
¥ had diarrhea and vomited at the same time?
¥ wondered how Superman committed suicide?
¥ talked to someone who's been saved?
¥ drank so much that you forgot who you were?
¥ been hit by an alien spacecraft?
¥ seen someone spontaneously combust?
— I read that George
W. and Veep Cheney fashioned a new approach to Iran over lunch. I can hear it
now: ÒGeorge, I think we should nuke them before they nuke us.Ó ÒDick, thatÕs
brilliant. I love when you talk that way.Ó
— LetÕs see if you
can get a handle on this:
¥ If politicians didnÕt
take special interest money, the art of making wishes come true would be lost.
¥ I hear all the right-wing
Christian soldiers are taking up a collection to buy God a gun. They just canÕt
decide what kind SheÕd like.
¥ People are wondering what
all the new businesses moving to town know that we donÕt. The answer is
Ònothing.Ó
¥ Adults wonder why kids
act the way they do. Look in a mirror.
¥ When you look at all the
money the school district spends, you have to wonder why a
student wouldnÕt know the
capital of Vermont.
¥ If Knox College actually
became a part of the city, would our average IQ go up or down?
¥ No matter how many people
are killed in Iraq, it still ainÕt going to make it right.
