And Now for Something Completely Different

Friend of G:TB Geuicy Burbleman is at this very moment defending liberty and your right to pursue freedom by vigorously defending the provisions of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930*. Today’s Bite Me, Randy Newman honors Geuicy’s public service and commitment to each and every one of you.

(* - In some circles, this is listed as Hawley-Smoot, but we choose the alternative because there’s no way Hawley’s descendants are anywhere near as entertaining as Fred Smoot.)
Who's the tiny labor sec
That's a sex machine to all the chicks?
REICH!
Ya damn right!

Who is the man that would risk his neck to focus the nation's attention on the need for American workers to adapt to the new economy?
REICH!
Can you dig it?

Who's the cat that won't cop out
When Slick Willie’s junk is hanging about?
REICH!
Right On!

They say this cat Reich is a bad (little) mother
SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
I'm talkin' 'bout Reich.
THEN WE CAN DIG IT!

He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman and Vaclav Havel and a few Harvard-educated economists.
ROBERT REICH!

Robert Reich, bad mother...shut your mouth.

Bite me, Randy Newman.

Isaac Hayes would be proud...and thoroughly confused.

Same as he is about Scientology.

Robert Reich is the smallest member yet of the "Bite Me, Randy Newman" chronicles. Back when he was my boss (there may have been a few slots between our two posts), I confirmed that Secretary Reich was, in fact, a good bit tinier than [eventual Gheorghe founder] Rob. I'm not sure he topped 5'.

I think Costas and Pedroia have you beat, though, little buddy.

reich is listed at 4' 10" in the playbook

rob said...

or program, whatever

T.J. said...

The Reich playbook is only slightly more confusing than the Al Saunders playbook.

wikipedia lists costas at 5'7", which is totally bogus. he is, in my drunken recollection, slightly - very slightly - taller than me. pedroia's listed by the sox at 5'9", which is a howler. i am wlling to stipulate that he's taller than i am, but that leaves a lot of room below the 5'9" mark.

this is quite amusing:

"Inevitabre! Things are inevitabrey going to change! Goddamnit, open your fucking ears!"

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong Il called himself an "Internet expert" during summit talks with South Korea's president this week, a news report said Friday.

It's time for me to watch that movie again.

Defending said liberty today was quite time consuming, but I'd like to offer my thanks for the fine tribute. And now, off to Cap Grille to drink in honor of my hard travails for your tax dollars.

What a fucking kick to the nuts...

yo nice blog, we should exchange links. I'm at www.onthebuzzer.com. Let me know if you're down.

Beautiful day outside . . . good day for watching college football.

Alcoa fantastic finish in the CAA -- Towson's last minute-rally fell short last Saturday, but a great 14-yard TD catch in the corner of the end zone as time expired won today's game for them against Richmond. Comcast chose wisely in choosing to air this one.

Delaware made it interesting but couldn't come all the way back against NH; UD was 5-0 coming in, while New Hampshire was winless in-conference.

JMU held off a scrappy Northeastern squad. They look like they'll go deep into the I-AA playoffs, sad to say.

And your William & Mary Tribe plays at Villanova tonight at 6pm. Tickets still available, I'm guessing.

rob said...

yeah, not so much for tribe fans to get excited about. 63-24 wildcats. oof.

Man, how drunk do you think the Stanford Cardinal got last night?

T.J. said...

I need it to be 7:37pm already...

rob said...

it's a great time of year, isn't it?

i can't believe i have to wait until friday.

T.J. said...

Yes, at least for another day...
