Cheeeeeeeeers and a tremendously happy Thursday to you all!!
I am, as the hipsters would have said some thirty years ago, “stoked.”
Why is that you ask? Well, let me tell ya.
For the first time in a lonnnnnnng time, I have the entire day of Thursday off…on a regular basis no less. It’s true!!
I am going to be productive, relax some as well, tip a few, and enjoy with gusto, my new found time away from the Beer Mine. However…
Before I can truly enjoy the day, I need your help. I need some questions answered so I can quit thinking about them, and get to the important business of relaxing and focusing on Sunday’s IWS Radio Show.
First of all. Jayman and I briefly touched upon this a month or so ago on the radio show. How is it that Jesus’ birthday is celebrated on the same day every year, but his death and resurrection is on a different day every year? Something about that just doesn’t sound kosher, and I’d like to know the reasoning behind it.
Why does Ed Schultz have a show on MSNBC and a syndicated radio show? The guy is a freak show. Don’t get me wrong; he’s great to make fun of, but he’s a train wreck. Also riddle me this? Sean Hannity and I actually agree on this summation of Eddie; which of us comes off looking worse for agreeing with the other?
Set me straight people…Rep. Vance McAllister (R-Cocktown) was caught on video making out with his staffer Melissa Peacock (R-Slutsville), both of whom are married…She resigns, and he remains a Congressman and a, “champion of traditional family values.” Could somebody…anybody…please explain the logic and justice in the results of this affair?
If you are a regular reader of this blog you know that we have been celebrating National Poetry Month, which begs a serious question. If a poem is written in the forest and there is no one around to read it, does it rhyme? I need to know!!
I am still seeing hash tags on Twitter in reference to #CancelColbert. Really? People are still trying to cancel the Colbert Report because of the Ching Chong Ding Dong thing?
I read an article on Salon.com which interviewed Suey Park who basically started this thing, and she said “whiteness is the enemy” of Asian-Americans.
That seems pwetty wacist to me but hu am I to judge? But, rell…maybe Suey Park needs to show a rittle wespectful sirence on dis one. Am I wight?
Let’s say, hypothetically of course, that I have a hot friend who got divorced just days ago…
Is there a waiting period before I hit on her, and/or make lewd sexual comments toward her? I’d like to hit upon, and/or talk dirty to her, but only in the most appropriate, and socially acceptable manner. I’m a gentleman in that regard.
Lastly…
When Jay and I do our show prep call today, should I wear shorts and a T-Shirt, or merely obscure my nakedness ‘neath the comfort of a silk robe?
I need your help and insight folks; my happiness, and the lives of millions of Americans are depending on you.
Cheers!!

If you didn't wait until your hot friend was divorced to do those things there is no waiting period.

Jayman: Whaaaaaat? I never did any such thin----Man, you make a good point. Cheers Jayman!!

I'm going to answer the Easter question in depth because I never get the chance to show off this useless knowledge. It involves Passover and the equinox, to which Easter was tied for symbolic reasons.
In the 4th century, Christians started criticizing the Jewish calculation of equinox, which was throwing off Easter, so they handed the job of calculating Lent and Easter to the bishop of Alexandria. The bishop of Alexandria would make a big deal of writing this Festal letter announcement about when Lent and Easter were.
I know this because my tarantula is named Saint Athanasius, and Saint Athanasius was the bishop of Alexandria for decades. I have therefore turned a rhetorical question into a learning experience for everyone.
Katy: Easter is always the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox. Christmas is always December 25th. I think God could have made things a little more clear. Cheers!
