Part 3: Vacationing like the Kennedy's: One thing I have always wondered...

Are limericks part of Japanese Opera? Well, Sock it to Me, anyway !!


{---Photo: Nixon and Elvis but nothing could out-suave the Kennedy curve
"Sock it to me?" was 1968, and I couldn't believe it! The presidential campaign between former Vice President Richard Nixon and current Vice President Hubert Humphrey was on. It would be a very close contest. And there is Nixon, the politician with the omnipresent unshaven look, the man one wouldn't "buy a used car from" on Laugh In,..."
"Perhaps when Nixon asked us to "sock it" to him, he had in mind another politician. A politician who clearly "had" it. A politician who,who along with Nixon, arrived as a member of the House of Representatives in Washington in 1946. A politician whose rise was not quite as swift as Nixon's ascent to the Senate and then the Vice Presidency. But, a politician who had it all — wealth, boyish good looks, a stunning wife, and an easy going affability which masked a powerful ambition — John F. Kennedy. JFK. Even his initials bespoke a certain dash. Kennedy was cool as upstanding Nixon knew he could never be.

Presidential press conferences are a kind of performance art. President Nixon's were formal and often contentious. Kennedy's meetings with the press were polished performances, yet natural and, it seemed, unpracticed. Twice a month or so I watched Kennedy's suave sophistication as he tossed out bon mots and facts galore. He wowed us. He was cool. But he was also hot, like a pop star."

Just look at those nicknames for the oldest pop culture politicians: almost like metal tags for players -- Teddy, Maggie, LBJ, Tricky Dick, Lion, FZ... huh?. mpw/pd

MooPig Vengeance Department

Shock Jock or not, Nobody messes with Dolly, eh?

Portnoy's Complaint, 1969: ".. A Jewish man with parents alive is a fifteen-year-old boy, and will remain a fifteen-year-old boy until they die.."(Philip Roth; U.S. Novelist)

My fellow pigsters, how shall we conscript vengeance on Howard Tzvi Stern? Shall we call upon the great FZ who Stern aspires to be, and dash Sterns fraudulent NY minit arse to pergola?

"Stern broadcast edited portions of her self-narrated audio book to form several beyond-filthy phrases. (Like, seriously: NSFW. This is the kind of stuff you imagine hearing at a 4 a.m. "Aristocrats" session around Bob Saget's jacuzzi after a night of Tuaca shots and blow. As such, it's hilarious.) Parton has had a listen, and released this statement in response:"

"'I have never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated in all my life,'"

"'I cannot believe what Howard Stern has done to me. In a blue million years, I would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth. They have done editing or some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing. Please accept my apology for them and certainly know I had nothing to do with this.'"

"'If there was ever going to be a lawsuit, it's going to be over this. Just wanted you to know that I am completely devastated by this'"

Parton 'Shocked' at Raunchy Stern Bit, By Jonathan Cohen, Reuters

".. Dolly Parton's livid at a bit on Howard Stern's Sirius satellite radio show that alters the content of her recent audio book. In the edited clip, Parton appears to make racist statements and accuse Kenny Rogers of violating young boys. .."

Howard Stern jilted over what dribbles off his tongue...
Leave Dolly Alone !!!!! Stern is on report....!!!

Lyrics Day: Cosmik Debris, Frank Zappa

As Zappa puts it: “We’re satirists, and we are out to satirise everything.” [ Miles, 2004, Frank Zappa, p. 135-138. ]

The mystery man came over
And he said Im outta sight!
He said for a nominal service charge
I could reach nirvana tonight
If I was ready, willing and able
To pay him his regular fee
He would drop all the rest of
His pressing affairs and devote
His attention to me
But I said look here brother
Who you jiving with that cosmik debris?
Now who you jiving with that cosmik debris?
Look here brother, dont waste your time on me
The mystery man got nervous
And he fidget around a bit
He reached in the pocket of his mystery robe
And he whipped out a shaving kit
Now I thought it was a razor
And a can of foaming goo
But he told me right then when the top popped open
There was nothin his box wont do
With the oil of aphrodite, and the dust of the grand wazoo
He said you might not believe this, little fella
But itll cure your asthma too
And I said look here brother
Who you jiving with that cosmik debris?
Now what kind of a guru are you, anyway?
Look here brother, dont waste your time on me
(dont waste your time)
Ive got troubles of my own, I said
And you cant help me out
So, take your meditations and your preparations
And ram it up your snout!
But I got the crystal ball, he said
And held it to the light
So I snatched it, all away from him
And I showed him how to do it right
I wrapped a newspaper round my head
So I looked like I was deep
I said some mumbo-jumbo, then
I told him he was going to sleep
I robbed his rings and pocketwatch
And everything else I found
I had that sucker hypnotized
He couldnt even make a sound
I proceeded to tell him his future, then
As long as he was hanging around
I said the price of meat has just gone up
And your old lady has just gone down!
And I said look here brother-who you
Jiving with that cosmik debris?
Now is that a real poncho or is that a sears poncho?
Dont you know, you could make more money as a butcher?
So, dont waste your time on me
Dont waste it, dont waste your time on me
