Play your, play your piano now, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers



Chef, Mario Batali, has stepped down due to sexual misconduct allegations. In addition, Batali’s restaurants have cancelled their rump roast specials.


It is the seventh anniversary of when a Wisconsin woman bit off half of her husband’s tongue. When asked how they’re doing, the man said, “We’re not on thpeaking termth.” 


“60 Minutes” featured a segment on Alexei Navalny, the Russian man running against Vladimir Putin. 60 minutes is also about how long Navalny has to live.

Alabama Senate candidate, Roy Moore, announced he will be riding his horse to vote. Which is probably better than him driving his Ice Cream truck to the polls.

By the way, Moore's horse's name is R. Kelly.



It is the seventh anniversary of when a Wisconsin woman bit off half of her husband’s tongue. Or as the victim calls it, “The theventh anniverthary.” 



Celebrity chef, Mario Batali, has stepped down due to sexual misconduct allegations. Batali is in serious hot water, but only for 11-12 minutes.



Chef, Mario Batali, has stepped down due to sexual misconduct allegations. The charges are even worse than his wearing orange Crocs with socks and cargo shorts. 



Chef, Mario Batali, has stepped down due to sexual misconduct allegations. Not surprising when you discover Batali is Italian for Weinstein.

Since you asked:


With the possible exceptions of nice guys Charlie Rose and  Al Franken, most of the celebrities accused of serial sexual harassment all had world-class reputations for being utterly contrary assholes and raving egomaniacs. 

Of course the rapists Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein were famous dick-heads, but also Ben Affleck, Dustin Hoffman, Matt Lauer, Jeremy Piven and now Mario Batali. 

Ass-wipes all. A veritable who's who of pompous, insufferable malcontents. 

Unchecked ego and sexual harassment it would seem tend to go, excuse me, hand-in-hand.

Again, this does not happen as much in the real world of business. Most people who succeed at real jobs have to do it by getting along with people. 

But entertainers and politicians, like the Bills Cosby and Clinton, just have to sell tickets or get votes. Outrageous behavior is seen as a by-product of talent.

What shocks me is that other world class Hollywood douche-bags, like Chris Brown, Justin Beiber, Sean Penn and Val Kilmer, have not come up in this new era of sexual harassment. 

Of course Penn beating his wife, Madonna, with a baseball bat and Chris Brown beating Rihanna senseless still counts for a lot. 

It just makes you wonder, what famous person who crafted a public persona of being silly and nice, but has a reputation for being a putz behind the curtain, will be accused next?
