My twenty-third brief conversation with the ghost of John Merrick

Me: “I’ve got a joke for you, John. Ready? Why did the Elephant Man cross the road?

Merrick: “I AM NOT AN ANIMAL!”

Me: “Oh. So you’ve already heard it.

Me: Well then never mind.”

    They sure fire aren’t mowers with guns. Which prompts, where are the wives?

    Don’t come around here, no mowers.

    I can’t believe the people are just now getting around focusing on this. I can’t tell you how long I have been filling out credit apps for bus drivers in the Washington DC metro area that earn 100,000+ dollars a year. Fucking bus fucking drivers! And that’s on top of what people are now realizing are solid gold pension plans that your crappy little 401(k) returns can’t touch.

    Let me put it in perspective: a bus driver for metro in the Washington DC area gets paid more than the guy who flew you across country last week. Unless you are a senior airline pilot. Your total compensation cannot possibly match that of a bus driver in any metro area across the country.

    This is been going on for years. Government employees as a whole are stupefyingly, criminally, continuously overpaid, and it’s got to stop. But I promise you, brother, they may not do much work, they may not be capable of making a decision, but you had better get ready for a vicious battle if you try to take away one thin dime of their bloated paychecks.

    Take a quick peek at the teeniest, tiniest, tip of the iceberg:

    Insty links to this GatewayPundit post — Helen Thomas thinks that the J00000000s should go back to Poland.

    Caution: even the still image from the video is traumatic. She makes you think that maybe burqas aren’t such a bad idea.

  5. bh says:

    Wow, SBP. That’s bad, even for her.

  6. sdferr says:

    Here’s Helen’s soulmate, meya, with much the same sentiment.

    Oh, jeeze… Somebody get the drool rag.

  8. motionview says:

    Did you know it was racist to use the phrase “black hole”? As in planets and solar systems and black holes?

  9. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    Fuck, motionview. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Those people are insane. Absolutely unbelievably insane.

  10. LTC John says:

    Damn, that Merrrick dude is quick to jump on a punch line…

  11. Well, if “black hole” is verboten now, we could always go back to the original name, “collapsar”.

  12. John Bradley says:

    Or “Detroit”.

  13. motionview says:

    It is a Patterico’s position, reductio ad absurdum, in real life. Unless you think Hallmark, Hallmark, a company with $4B in revenues, is releasing graduation cards with children laughing at a poem about Black Whores.

  14. guinsPen says:

    The card company says the card speaks about the power the grad will wield.

    “The intent here is to say that this graduate is not afraid of anything,” explained Hallmark spokesman Steve Doyal.

    But that’s not what some people heard.

    Some heard “uh-oh, e-lectronic effects.”

  15. Mike LaRoche says:

    So the NAACP is run by retards nowadays…

  16. Random Feldspar says:

    we could always go back to the original name, “collapsar”

    There goes the neighborhood.

  17. Ooooooh yes you are,you silly
    bitch.

  18. serr8d says:

    Ghost? Ghost, you say?

    Well, Gary Coleman’s casket.

    I’ll be dodging ghosts now. Or something.
