Technorati Favorite me!

One week of every year is designated National Brotherhood Week. This is just one of many such weeks honoring various worthy causes. One of my favorites is National Make-fun-of-the-handicapped Week which Frank Fontaine and Jerry Lewis are in charge of as you know. During National Brotherhood Week various special events are arranged to drive home the message of brotherhood. This year, for example, on the first day of the week Malcolm X was killed which gives you an idea of how effective the whole thing is. I’m sure we all agree that we ought to love one another and I know there are people in the world that do not love their fellow human beings and I hate people like that. Here’s a song about National Brotherhood Week.

Oh, the white folks hate the black folks,
And the black folks hate the white folks.
To hate all but the right folks
Is an old established rule.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
Lena Horne and Sheriff Clark are dancing cheek to cheek.
It’s fun to eulogize
The people you despise,
As long as you don’t let ’em in your school.

Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks,
And the rich folks hate the poor folks.
All of my folks hate all of your folks,
It’s American as apple pie.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans ’cause it’s very chic.
Step up and shake the hand
Of someone you can’t stand.
You can tolerate him if you try.

Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics,
And the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Hindus hate the Moslems,
And everybody hates the Jews.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
It’s National Everyone-smile-at-one-another-hood Week.
Be nice to people who
Are inferior to you.
It’s only for a week, so have no fear.
Be grateful that it doesn’t last all year!

  1. What’s the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenburg?
    One is a flaming Nazi gas bag, the other is a dirigible.

    They didn’t I notice, ask what a tubby, homely, much-unhappily-married hate-radio “personality” was doing returning from the Dominican Republic with a suitcasefull of Viagra acquired in his doctor’s name.

    What possible use could he have had for it to make it worth smuggling the Viagra OUT of the US in the first place? Why would anyone want to go to a place known for child prostitution, don’t-ask-don’t-tell liasons with wet bar strangers, and all that icky stuff, carrying Viagra?

    Perhaps that’s why he’s been nominated? For his work in spreading the poor … I mean, the wealth. Perhaps he’s secretely working to reduce prostitution by visiting neighborhood hookers and asking them “How much”? It’d certainly get them off the streets–indeed, it’d get them hiding in their houses sucking their thumbs.

    I mean, look at the man. You couldn’t pay me to ₤µ¢λ him with the detatched love muscle of John Bobbit.

    Of course much of the preceding comment could be false (though not the bit about exiting the DR with vitamin V). Might even be libellous, I suppose. But it’s every bit as “truthy” and even-handed as his show.

    Arrrrgh! Please god kill me now! I just had a mental image of Limbaugh/Coulter slashfic porn! Arrrrgh! My eyes! They’re burning–help me! Help meeeeeeeee!

  2. Rush Limbaugh is one of the biggest hypocrites in the world.

    Dominican Republic is notorious for it’s plentiful supply of children and hookers. Sex tourism is thriving down there.

    Has anyone put two and two together? Yes, it’s that obvious.

    http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0706062rush1.html

    “Around 30,000 Haitian children are illegally smuggled into the Dominican Republic every year to work as child prostitutes or be forced into other degrading occupations, UN and Organization of American States (OAS) officials said on Sunday. In Haiti itself, children are recruited as gang members or are tortured, kidnapped, sexually and physically abused, abandoned and traded like personal property.”

    It would not surprise me in the least if Rush was into little boys.

  3. Just read Metro’s comment.

    Metro, add Michelle Mallkin to that equation and get ready for the filthiest show on earth. You’ll be scrubbing yourself silly!

    (Funny how I was thinking of the Coulter as I read this Limb Nut post).

  10. Seriously. Who dates Coulter anyway, besides those looking for a beard? It would be like having sex with an old welder’s glove you dug out of an abandoned construction site or something.

  13. Dragging this hijacked comment thread away from skanky bottle blondes with adam’s apples and hot blondes in swimsuits … Oh, I don’t know though … sorry … Where was I?

    Oh yes: the exact oppo: Mr. Limbaugh may have been nominated for the great work he has done supporting the troops. Who at least cannot complain that they are out of expensive toilet paper.

    Apparently O’Reilly is boosting circulation in a similar manner.

  14. Well O’Reilly IS a sonofabitch. Is he the one that had the sexual harassment issue last year? I heard there were four other women who were pondering bringing charges…what ever happened to that?
