Podcasts, Links, and NFL Draft Apologies

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

I owe football fans everywhere an apology.

I will not be live blogging the NFL Draft today.

For the last three years, I have been at the NFL Draft in Radio City Music Hall. I will not be at the 2009 NFL Draft.

For reasons only I care about, my trip to New York got screwed up. I could watch it on television, but the UCLA Book Festival is within walking distance to my home.

Yes, I am still a heterosexual alpha male. Yes, I am skipping the NFL Draft to go to a book fair.

I am going to sell MY book. Sheesh, it’s not like I am going to read books. Making money gives me an exemption.

I will offer Draft analysis on Sunday, not Saturday.

Until then…

The anti-tax, anti-tea morning after pill

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

April 15th is now in the rear view mirror.

I fought the good fight, but apparently my efforts at the anti tax tea parties failed.

Tea is still legal in America.

I showed up with my sign.

“I dislike taxes, but I hate tea. Death to Mint Medley! Death to Earl Gray! Death to Tetley!”

I tried to explain to people that this is a America, and that we do not drink sissy liberal beverages here. We drink beer, or in my case, soda. In fact, most things that rhyme with tea should be put under intense scrutiny, from trees to brie cheese.

Anyway, the bottom line is that America is simply divided on the issue. Like other complex moral issues, I never did get certain questions answered.

For one thing, when does tea actually begin?

Conservatives, who I pray never to catch drinking the stuff, insist that once it made at wherever it is, it is exists. From the moment it is conceived and put in that womb of a box that is placed on grocery shelves, it is tea.

Yet liberals argue that until it is taken out of the box, placed in a cup, and hot water is added to it, tea is unborn.

Now I know some extremist liberals will insist that until the tea actually breaks out of the tea bag and actually mixes with the water, no tea has been made. These zealots are out of control. Anybody who thinks that a tea bag sitting there ready to blend with the water, in the seconds before the water changes color, has not created tea in its full form, is insane.

Some people actually wait until after the tea is born to then throw the bag in the dumpster. This is barbaric. Every opportunity was given to throw the bag away before mixing with the water, but waiting until the tea is wholly formed and fully integrated into the society of water is clinically cruel.

I saw no discussion of this at any of the rallies. In fact, across the street from these so called protest marches, were places actually selling the stuff. What in the name of California is going on here?

I witnessed discussions, some animated, some calmer. I witnessed a diverse crowd. The disrupters claimed to be from the CCCP (Some Commie Pinko Derivative), but I think they were Tetley executives in disguise.

Yet nobody was throwing tea in the ocean. This was no revolution. This was a typical day in Santa Monica, although much colder and windier.

The police did not support the lawlessness, opting for coffee instead. While this is not much better, it is slightly better.

Does nobody drink soda any more? What has happened to America? Even the leftists wanted to join hands 20 years ago and sing about buying the world a Coke. Now it is dirt mixed with Evian.

Some young missionaries came to preach the Gospel of their Lord and Savior. They agreed with me on the anti-tea stance. They were also against drugs. We tried to get some drug addicts on the street some help, but they would not listen. One person insisted it was glaucoma medication they were taking, while another insisted that they had a prescription for the tablets that appeared to be an anti-histamine.

Well I know a thing about tablets. God gave them to Moses, and it did not sanction liberal pill popping in this land I love, especially when those drugs are mixed with beverages that change colors after being mixed.

We are losing the culture wars. I have done all I can do.

Some of the smell from the tea emanating from that vile store near the protest site wafted towards me. I contacted the Center for Disease Control, and they quickly arrived and gave me a morning after pill.

It may have looked like Pepcid AC or Pepto Bismol, but that was to keep the rest of the crowd from panicking.

I tried my best America. I let you down.

Tea still exists, and this administration will continue to allow it.

Oh yeah, and taxes are too high.

From Taxachusetts to Tim Geithner to Tetley Tea with love

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Outside of liberals, nobody likes April 15th. As we know, the reason they don’t mind taxes is because they often don’t pay them.

(For a list of tea parties and other events, the link below is provided and continuously updated.)

https://tygrrrrexpress.com/2009/04/events-announcements-and-link-love/

http://michellemalkin.com/2009/04/15/massive-tax-day-tea-party-usa/

Nevertheless, April 15th is not a day when I normally rant about taxes. Besides, we should all be in a good mood now that the NFL 2009 Schedule has been released as of yesterday. I have it memorized already.

Yet the anger in America is palpable, and it is often justified.

For too long, productive people have had to rip the leeches of the less productive from their wounded chests. The giant sucking sound that Ross Perot spoke about in 1992 was not about Mexico. It was about liberals stealing from conservatives in the name of fairness.

Conservatives are fighting back in the form of tea parties around America.

I am not sure if I will attend. I have to work, and am balancing several radio interviews. Also, to quote a comedian that did a fabulous imitation of Gilbert Gottfried promoting Tetley Tea…

“I hate Tea. Tea I hate. Tea is hot water with a bag in it, and the bag is urinating dirt. Waiter, get that bag out of my hot water. Also, why T? Why not call it L? L would have been good.”

Then again, a world with less tea would be a good thing, so I might throw some in the water to protest not just against taxes, but against tea as well. I might even throw a golf club to protest my distaste for golf. I just have to find a political angle, and somebody willing to part with a club.

I could even wear a sign that reads, “apolitical, I just hate tea.”

Then again, I really am political. The sign will need work.

My bigger concerns are that I still have not found a way to blame Palestinians, feminists, or other scourges for this situation. I will connect the dots faster then somebody can toss their Tetley.

(If you work for Tetley, please do not sue me. I don’t know a Mint Medley from an Earl Grey, and never wish to learn. Your competitors are just as useless to me, only your name is the only one I know from that catchy jingle you did years ago.)

Actually, radical feminist meetings and leftover tea often contain old bags, but that can wait for another time. Thank the heavens they do not support this cause. If they burn their bras I am leaving immediately.

To me tea is a liberal drink. It is elitist and snobby. Guys drink beer, or in my case, soda.

So for those of you in Taxachusetts drinking your dirt filled cup of water, just know that I scoff at your blue state beverage.

At least by tossing stuff in the ocean, we will be ticking off the environmentalists. Some good will come out of this.

So as we curse Tim Geithner and fight back against the pillaging and plundering liberals that act like Somali pirates minus the willingness to use force, just remember that tomorrow will be April 16th, and life will continue.

For that reason, I might skip the tea parties. With all of the people I have offended, who knows how many of them want to throw me in the river?

So to those who are offended by me, take the advice of the tea companies, and adopt the new slogan I just created for them.

Stick a bag in it.

Ideological Bigotry–My book is now available

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

All,

My book, Ideological Bigotry, is now in stores and available for purchase.

Ideological Bigotry is the hatred of people based on their political views. It is just as harmful as racial or ethnic bigotry, but gets less attention.

The book can be purchased through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or through iUniverse.

http://www.iuniverse.com/Bookstore/BookDetail.aspx?BookId=SKU-000119573 freechatrooms

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Ideological-Bigotry/Eric-Aka-The-Tygrrrr-Express/e/9781440133909/?itm=2

http://www.amazon.com/Ideological-Bigotry-Politically-Conservative-Left-Wing/dp/1440133905/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1238917332&sr=8-2

Below is the picture of the hard cover copy.

For legal reasons, I had to use a picture different than the one on my blog. Simply put, after much searching, I cannot find out who owns the rights to that picture.

Below are a couple of testimonials that will be found on the back cover.

“Many will find this reading highly charged, and most controversial. But hey, that’s what we have come to expect from Eric aka The Tygrrrr Express!”

Radio Host Armstrong Williams

“You don’t have to be a political ‘conservative’ or agree with every word in this book to appreciate Ideological Bigotry. In a society that professes to value tolerance and dissent, America has become infested with bigots who taunt, intimidate and even hate those who dare to disagree with them.  Eric exposes this evil in a witty and insightful manner that makes for very delightful reading.  Unlike many who beat you over the head about this problem, his wit and sense of ridicule are a welcome relief.  A great read!”

Ward Connerly—Chairman, American Civil Rights Institute

I am described as “politically conservative, morally liberal, and completely off kilter.”

If you would like me to come to your city to do a book signing, then invite me! I am arranging a book tour as we speak.

I am also available for television and radio interviews.

I had no say in the price of the book. As for free copies, please understand that if I gave the book away, this would not be a successful business venture!

I will be autographing copies of the hard cover version.

My goal is to visit all 50 states, so at some point, your hard cover book WILL be autographed.

If I left you out of the acknowledgments, again, don’t resort to verbal violence. Every person that I have ever corresponded with through the Tygrrrr Express has made it a special place.

After you have purchased the book, please let me know that you did so.

Lastly, just know that while I am the person who wrote the book, and writes the blog, every single one of you is what makes it worth while.

Thank you very much.

Now please go buy my book!

eric aka the Tygrrrr Express

Kukla, Fran, and Ollie Saturday

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

For two years I have been looking for any excuse to mention Kukla, Fran, and Ollie.

http://www.kukla.tv/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kukla,_Fran_and_Ollie

For the sake of full disclosure, while I knew it was a puppet show, I did not know exactly what it was. This was not the first time nor will it be the last time that I will have no idea what I am talking about. Some would say that goes for every column I have ever written, but then again those same people probably violate puppies and kittens.

Anyway, as a former stock trader, life can be stressful. Several years ago, one of the guys on the trading floor started screaming, “PBMMJ, Pep Boys, Manny, Moe, and Jack!”

How is a guy supposed to get some sleep on the trading floor when some other trader keeps screaming? For several minutes all I heard was “Manny, Moe and Jack, Manny Moe, and Jack! PBMMJ, Manny, Moe, and Jack!”

I thought I would have some fun and ease the tension. I began running around yelling, “KFO, KFO, Kukla, Fran, and Ollie, Kukla Fran, and Ollie, KFO, Kukla, Fran, and Ollie!”

Some of the traders began checking their research, while others began typing in the symbol KFO to check the charts. A couple of guys were so greedy that they thought they would save time by just buying the d@mn thing without any research. Whatever stock KFO was several years ago, you’re welcome. If the SEC needs to investigate any large blocks, guilty as charged.

One of the older guys was about to research the stock when he said, “Wait a minute…Kukla, Fran, and Ollie…wasn’t that a puppet show?”

I cannot repeat the expletives that were hurled at me upon this discovery.

Actually, I can, they went something like ?*!”:+&*!, also known as the word (redacted).

My dad had his own take on the matter.

“It was a stupid, moronic show.”

My mother was nicer.

“It was perfectly harmless.”

My father had his rebuttal, which resembled his original opening argument.

“It was a stupid, moronic show.”

His closing argument was equally pleasant.

Well I am bringing the show back today on Kukla, Fran, and Ollie Saturday.

Anyway, for those of you who would rather think about anything else, here are some sites that aired during the commercials of the show.

Actually, that is not true. However, consider this the commercials of my column. Check out these sites.

My Uncle Joey does business consulting. My endorsement of him does not in any way imply a reverse endorsement. However, for those that need top notch business consulting services, utilize him.

http://www.definityresearch.com

My friend Mare Mare has a cool music site. She is a brunette, and has in her life voted right of center.

http://www.theywillrockyou.com

My friend Laura also has a music site. Also, she is a Republican Jewish brunette.

http://www.laurawolfe.net

My friend Harold is doing real estate. He is a Jewish Republican. Yes he has brown hair, but don’t go there girlfriend (I learned that from Oprah).

http://haroldrosenthal.yourkwagent.com

Ok, enough commercials. Back to the program.

Now, given that in previous columns I pointed out that C3PO was gay, and posited the question of what would happen if he got in a fistfight with Wembley from Fraggle Rock, it is time to throw Kukla, Fran, and Ollie into the mix.

Fran was a tough woman. She could take C3PO.

Kukla and Ollie together still couldn’t take Wembley. Besides, they would all end up dancing and forgetting about the fight.

So if we could just ship old tapes and tape players with copies of these shows around the globe, there would be world peace.

Ok, 22 minutes has been spent on this derailed thought train. May you all have a pleasant Kukla, Fran, and Ollie Saturday. See you next time, back in 1957.
