1. The new files AOL added to my AOL software prevented me from being able to connect to the internet. (I guess they are seriously going foward with their plan to lose all their customers and go out of business.)
2. A marmot invaded my back yard, so I couldn’t let the animals out there until it decided to vacate the premises (it had sharp, pointy teeth and made a sound like a car alarm, but the dogs seemed eager to engage it in a death match). So, I had to walk Flossie and Yodie 20 times a day, which left me with little time for blogging.
3. I was sick.
4. The dogs ate my DVD player. (Okay, it was just the Flossie dog, and it was just the cables connecting the DVD player to the TV, and it has nothing to do with my ability to blog, but I always wanted to use the “dog ate” excuse.)
5. Lamont or Lieberman (I’m not sure which one) probably hacked my website, thus causing the lack of new content.
6. The two kittens I decided to keep, Bix and Kit (if you can think of an MST-related name for him, let me know — he’s the one who looks sorta Siamese) are so adorable now that little girls keep ringing my doorbell and wanting to hold them. And all this entertaining eats into my disgruntled loner/leftwing blogger time.
7. I was tired, as well as sick.
Anyway, that said, here’s the beginning to one of the many Newsmax emails I found in my inbox after I could get online:
President Bush Declared ‘Fit’, Health Secret RevealedOkay, your job is to reveal just which miracle supplement President Bush takes each day, and what it does for him. Best answer wins an email from Ken Mehlman!
After a nearly four-hour physical exam, President Bush’s doctors on Tuesday pronounced him in good health and “fit for duty,” the White House said. Bush indicated he was happy about the results of his physical – except for the weight gain it showed. Editor’s Note: President Bush takes just one miracle supplement a day. Find out about it . . .

Last time I was on vacation, I had a really bad allergic reaction to a medication. After I was walking around again, one guy recommended this stuff called “Primal Defense” to me. Obviously, this is Bush’s miracle supplement, not only does it sound tough but it contains “Homeostatic™ Soil Organisms”. Yup, dirt bacteria.

I will forego the obvious supplement- coke- and be creative. He takes 5 grams of ground up aborted blastocysts. This explains why he is opposed to expanding stem cell research- he does not anyone to cut into his stash.

I know the one we’d like him to take—lithium.
But Bush’s real miracle supplement is an anti-defecatory formula called Fuckitol—the more you take, the less likely you are to give a shit.

Well for Kit I have to go with Manos (then you could discipline/shoo him with the “Hands of Fate”) but considering your felines apparent predilection for cloning themselves (that’s my explanation and I’m sticking to it) I’d go with something from “The Clonus Horror”.
For Dubya, well its complex during the Gannon era I’d have goen (only half-jokingly) with a hot beef injection, but now it has to be either some sort of sexual slur involving Condi, or daily imbidemtn of that Brownest of Brown Liqours: Bourbon, half a bottle of JD for the win (he wanted Makers Mark but Cheney kept stealing it).

Well, for a cat that’s sort of but not actually Asian, I suggest going with the MST character who fits the same description. Ex-Bond Girl Shirley Eaton as Oriental femme fatale Su-Maru from the KTMA ep, “The Million Eyes of Su-Maru.”
By the way, the reason I didn’t pick up the blogging slack was because I’ve been working on my Broadway musical adaptation, “Manos: The Jazz Hands of Fate.”
We’ve out with an offer to Betty Buckley to play either Margaret, or Torgo.

Not ever having regularly watched MST–shocking, if true!–I have not kitty-cat name suggestion. The reason for my semi-aversion to MST is that I actually like cheap, shitty sci-fi/horror movies from the ’60s-’80s, and like to watch them unadulterated. Mind you, I’m often doing a running commentary back at the flick as it unspools… it’s just that I don’t like having people who are funnier than me doing it at the same time.
As for the miracle supplement, I think it’s Esther S, the vitamin “s” pill (“s” for st00pid, naturally). Vitamin S is the wonder vitamin that only benefits really idiotic, gullible morons, so it’s the obvious pill for Shrubby McPretzelton to use. Relying entirely on the placebo effect, this wonder-vitamin has eleventy-billion percent better results with gullible fuckwits than it does with “normal” people. So it’s been very effective with Preznit Porksnorkle, and has kept him fit, albiet at 5lbs chunkier than before. There’s just more of him to make fun of love. Mind you, there are a few documented, minor side effects: increased desire to push red buttons, increased likelihood to start illegal wars on false premises, and increases in fake Texas twang, but how could any of that go wrong?

Kit: Tura (after Ms. Satana, illustrious star of Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill) Although that is not an MST3K kinda flick. Strictly speaking.
I’m tempted to select L Dopa as the suppliment of choice for our Doofus in Chief, but there are too many people who really need the stuff to make fun of it even if it sounds silly and oh-so-appropriate for him. Instead, I’ll speculate that Condi dug up an old recipe for brownies dating back to her days in San Francisco which also explains the extra weight gain.

I think the supplement Bush is taking is Nikki Haskell’s StarCaps. Just a hit of garlic “from the higher Andes of Peru” and papaya, and the weight peels off! Only $80 a bottle!

s.z., perhaps now we can re-name your home “Chateau Marmot”? Sorry, couldn’t resist. Most people don’t know what they are, but I spent sufficient time in the Yosemite high country protecting my belongings from these rippling blonde creatures. You know, with the pointy teeth and all, marmots are the Ann Coulter of the animal world.
I’m with D. Sidhe on the drug issue. W. may be one of the last people around still taking Halcion. “Look what it did for Dad!” she remarked. Dad only puked in the Japanese prime minister’s lap, but apparently Son is taking Halcion in order to sleepwalk through his days, puking all over us.

Well, not one to ever give up: I think Bush has a testosterone/Metamucil cocktail every morning. Accounts for the “swagger.”
Got my book yesterday!!! K. Ron is right – it saved my marriage and I’ve been divorced for 3 years! (By “saved” I mean I had it stuffed and mounted over the fireplace – it was definitely a trophy marriage.)

I like Gamera, too.
Halcion, as I recall, was implicated in the murder by a cop of his best friend. It was reputed to make people psychotic and emotionally unstable.
(Of course, all of these things have been said about prozac, too, though in my experience prozac makes people want to get something pierced or tattooed or dyed, so we can probably assume he’s not taking that one. Unless he’s, you know, got a palang or something. I apologize for that image.)
