101st Post -- And Hopefully Many More!

Dear Readers,

A quick one from the land of IVDM tonight. First, I'd like to thank R-Lo for unknowingly publishing the 100th posting on our ever growing blog. We apparently have a lot to say, even though some of us waste the space with "Let them Eat Cake"-like cookies...also known as the Fig Newton (I'm looking at you Boston suburb with the nerve to put a cafe in the plans of their new public high school). For those of you similar to R-Lo, who enjoy that Bastille Day special known as the Pecan Sandie, I would also like to recommend other agenda oriented treats such as the cryptic Maoist Chinese food fortune cookie and the ethnically charged Hydrox cookie as it is the covertly Kosher version of the Oreo (very sinister indeed!).

Onto more pressing items. Tonight I'd like to post a segment of Maureen Dowd's op-ed piece about Hillary's chances in the upcoming primaries. In this she quotes the verbal half of Penn and Teller and a new joke in their stage show. From this it is obvious Jillette doesn't think highly of Mrs. Clinton, but he interprets the changes in his audience's repulsed reaction as a sign of trouble for her. Dowd has some doubts. Read it for yourself.

In a webcast, prestidigitator Penn Jillette talks about a joke he has begun telling in his show. He thinks the thunderous reaction it gets from audiences shows that Hillary no longer has a shot. The joke goes: “Obama is just creaming Hillary. You know, all these primaries, you know. And Hillary says it’s not fair, because they’re being held in February, and February is Black History Month. And unfortunately for Hillary, there’s no White Bitch Month.” Of course, jokes like that — even Jillette admits it’s offensive — are exactly what may give Hillary a shot.

Perhaps Jillette is just mad that the Mitt-Orny ticket was never a reality while Jesus Camp actually exists.
