Sore Throats and Satire Do Not Mix

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Cheeeeeeeeers and a Happy Thursday to you all, and you damn well better be happy. because for the next few days I shall be living vicariously through you!!<br /><br />I have a sore throat.  A sore throat from Hell, and I mean it is literally a sore throat from Hell, because I hear that the Devil has Menorah-like hemorrhoids that burn for days upon end, and well…<br /><br />I evidently have Satan’s, blood red ass cherries firmly lodged in my throat as they turn my uvula into what looks like a tiny, yet swollen red incandescent light bulb, and leaves my trachea feeling like the 4-Methylcyclohexane Methanol laced Kanawha River in West By God Virginia<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSvSAIfc7yekKEbvS9tXuA0CtcLDL-iXZIqMYQ7mwfr-gMIhK3EnTdrNKtpaff1Q8IPXrr1xc1My90Ebd5Bn31782z8f5dBbiADIzT7oenAioqIdxWTdxmoRe1oV0pdfNYIymxsAw0LzBV/s1600/Justin+Bieber+Arrested+DUI.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSvSAIfc7yekKEbvS9tXuA0CtcLDL-iXZIqMYQ7mwfr-gMIhK3EnTdrNKtpaff1Q8IPXrr1xc1My90Ebd5Bn31782z8f5dBbiADIzT7oenAioqIdxWTdxmoRe1oV0pdfNYIymxsAw0LzBV/s1600/Justin+Bieber+Arrested+DUI.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Yep, that’s the state of my throat, and as many of us know, sore throats are among the most annoying non-life threatening afflictions with which we deal, because…<br /><br />Sore throats while they last, are constant.  Sore throats are omnipresent.  An active sore throats mock us, because unlike having the flu when one just lies down and sleeps it away, the sore throat allows one to remain active.<br /><br />I may be a bit tired, but I am still awake enough and able enough to go to work, and yet?  My throat is fucking killing me!!<br /><br />And you know what I have discovered during this inflamed throat episode?<br /><br />I never realized how often I swallow during the day, when not eating nor drinking.  Holy Cow, the average person evidently does a swallow reflex out of habit 10,000 times a day.  And?<br /><br />And with each swallow, laugh, and/or cough, I cry…just a little…both inside and out.<br /><br />And let me tell you.  It has affected my skills as a world-class satirist.  Oh Yeah.<br /><br />See, because of the annoying and constant pain, I cannot focus on the humor at hand that our good God has given us the last couple of days, and let me tell ya…<br /><br />There’s a Noah’s Ark full of funny out there that transpired just in the past 48 hours.<br /><br />Justin Bieber for instance…He tried to pull a Richard Marx and act like a total 5’7” badass by driving drunk in a rented Lamborghini and got arrested for DUI and resisting arrest.  Resisting arrest?<br /><br />How many resisting arrest jokes are there to be made involving Justin Bieber?  Thousands!!  And I cannot concentrate enough due to my sore throat in order to put them to pen.<br /><br />How does a 5’7” Pixie-Stix of a Canadian resist a burly Miami police officer?  By threatening to sing to him? See?  While probably true, it’s not very funny.  Thanks, Mr. Sore Throat.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglqRbnvawhmita7wqBtmODg_8HisSkyS-6TmbqpC996iLxS_Sk4h6IHWx347xmv3pHvjG-0T9nf-FtbfK_scwqVpRfLams6D2DYZaz6NOfAIC0bNuWVUZdgHwsN5hzAuRoOiBUIqYnxMzc/s1600/Mike+Huckabee+Birth+Control+Women+Libidos+Uncle+Sugar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglqRbnvawhmita7wqBtmODg_8HisSkyS-6TmbqpC996iLxS_Sk4h6IHWx347xmv3pHvjG-0T9nf-FtbfK_scwqVpRfLams6D2DYZaz6NOfAIC0bNuWVUZdgHwsN5hzAuRoOiBUIqYnxMzc/s1600/Mike+Huckabee+Birth+Control+Women+Libidos+Uncle+Sugar.jpg" width="400" /></a>And then late yesterday, former Gov. Mike Huckabee told the audience at the RNC Winter Meeting that women have been led to believe (by Democrats) that they need an Uncle Sugar and free birth control pills because woman cannot control their own libido.<br /><br />The fact of the matter is that The Huckster doesn’t want women to have any birth control because GAWD wants them barefoot and pregnant, because well, that’s God’s plan.  Just ask the incestuous daughters of Lot and their alcoholic father!!<br /><br />See?  This Huckabee crap is primetime joke-ready funny, and what do I have? Not a damn thing, because I am distracted by Satan’s Hemorrhoids inside my throat.<br /><br />You would think that if Satan put his ass berries in my throat he would give me something funny to say about God’s Chosen One, Mike Huckabee, but no…Satan wants to merely torture me like the next guy.<br /><br />However, I can get this out before I gargle once again with salt water and Wild Irish Rose…<br /><br />Governor Huckabee, if your daughter Sarah was dating Justin Bieber, wouldn’t you want her on the strongest form of birth control that your Tea Party, Christian Coalition, and Super Pac money could buy?<br /><br /><i>Cheers!!</i><br /><br />Matt-Man<br /><br /><a href="mailto:mattmaniws@ymail.com">mattmaniws@ymail.com</a><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/MattMan_IWS" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">@mattman_iws</span></a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/mattmaniws" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">My Facebook Page</span></a></div>

As her mother wipes away tears, the young girl can hear, and tries to speak for the first time in her entire life.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_24981" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">"Hearing is very emotional," Tani says, "It’s the road to the heart."</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">From the Buddhist monks of India to the Bronx, to New Orleans and the tribes of New Guinea, the Austins’ Starkey Hearing Foundation fitted 165,000 free hearing aids last year alone. After getting rich many times over running a hearing aid company, Bill’s mission now is to spend it by giving back. His goal: helping a million people hear by the year 2020.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">"For me, a day here is better than any day on any beach anywhere in the world," Bill Austin says. "It’s better than any fine meal in Paris. I would stay here and not eat at all and work for these kids and go home tired and say I had a good day."</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Soon there are others. Six-year-old Dennis slowly emerges from his cocoon of silence. Like a light switch finally turned on, in one day, more than 400 faces light up.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">“You know what you’re seeing is hope. Mothers are the same all over the world," Tani says. "They want education for their children. They want safety in their homes. They’re hoping to have a better life for their child."</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_24992" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">They all go home with a year’s worth of batteries and local contacts for help too, all of it no strings attached.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">“It’s the best job ever," Tani says, as she starts to cry, "because it never gets old."</div></div>

Coldest Town in U.S. Lives for ‘Icebox Days’ (BLOG, PICS)

The wind chill? Negative 38!</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_22038" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">But Terry Anderson is not intimidated. In fact, she’s getting ready to do something most of us would never dare to do in these temps … run the annual Icebox Race! In what some call “the real winter games,” it’s the ultimate test of cold weather endurance, under brutal conditions.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_22048" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">“I saw some very frosty eyelashes on the way in, but it appears to be a-okay,” said Anderson. “I have my gloves, my hat and my double socks. That's what you really, really need.”</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_22058" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">ABC News “Nightline” traveled to International Falls, M.N., where frigid is a way of life. The secret to surviving those brutal temperatures? No cowering indoors. These hearty souls do the opposite; they embrace it.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_22068" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Right now it's 9 below zero. But it's not just a race. This Canadian border town -- dubbed “the icebox of the nation” -- celebrates the cold with this annual event. For the young and the young at heart, the bold and the brave.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhItKRXIILtjapQkHhWjVu-neiTnWxHs5JlbY82KkejrzhPieEpaStiWNVfM02UX4-4yCB3sGExDhzUO0ixLDbvzBYf1jxggvYupzdLhoJWNKX4cVf94aG3swvmbFwieG1FsTVu26fkPms/s1600/hqdefault.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhItKRXIILtjapQkHhWjVu-neiTnWxHs5JlbY82KkejrzhPieEpaStiWNVfM02UX4-4yCB3sGExDhzUO0ixLDbvzBYf1jxggvYupzdLhoJWNKX4cVf94aG3swvmbFwieG1FsTVu26fkPms/s1600/hqdefault.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">There's something for everyone in this town of 6,000. All free of charge. And it's a lifestyle lesson for the rest of us shivering through one of the coldest winters on record.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">It all starts with an early -morning wake-up call. Anderson, a first-grade teacher and mother of four, is our local guide.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">“Mornings in the winter are dark,” she said. “Nobody ever wants to get up cause they swear you are waking them up in the middle of the night. And they are cold.”</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_22072" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">To ward off cabin fever, the living room also doubles as the family's gym. Outside -- with temperatures as low as negative 50 -- getting ready to venture out involves a great deal of strategy, involving snow pants, jackets, boots, mittens and hats.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">The cold weather gear for the children doesn't come cheap: “The snow boots are on sale about $50 a piece so that's $200, and then snowsuits you run about another $50 so you just have to figure that in with back-to-school expenses.”</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">The family moved here from Texas 13 years ago. Houses in International Falls are not as big because of the challenge of heating them. Anderson said it took quite a while to find a house that fit their bed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKOe_lYsJ60OUogKpcZTn2FhK63h5lL22_Fwwer0MiXnzpLWg3erM24EfCDjkBXrsUIoqp8_gq8y_rahG1poJ0Os6G9gPkQJ_iKiLNi6ab455-7SgkhVtWmjyQ2AjrXR4OKFTq2lcqswY/s1600/140122_ntl_full_wb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKOe_lYsJ60OUogKpcZTn2FhK63h5lL22_Fwwer0MiXnzpLWg3erM24EfCDjkBXrsUIoqp8_gq8y_rahG1poJ0Os6G9gPkQJ_iKiLNi6ab455-7SgkhVtWmjyQ2AjrXR4OKFTq2lcqswY/s1600/140122_ntl_full_wb.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">It's the town made famous by an iconic car commercial from the ‘70s. It's still home to a who's who list of carmakers -- from Tesla to Range Rover -- testing new models in cold weather conditions.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">To keep her car battery from dying in the cold, Anderson’s husband plugs it into a power outlet.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">“It's always the personal goal to get out there before the car shuts off,” said Anderson.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">People here plan their week around the five-day forecast.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">“Especially as a runner, you plan your entire week out by the weather,” said Anderson. “When is it gonna be a long run day, when is it going to be your inside day, all depending on the weather and the wind.”</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">It's not just her. Everyone's been preparing this week for the Icebox Race. Competitors gather from all over Minnesota and beyond. With fresh snow, the running conditions are less than ideal. But the whole town has turned out to cheer on the runners. Anderson crosses the finish line, placing first among the local women.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">“Woo hoo! So my lips were numb, my speech a little slurred. But I did it!” she said.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">But she made a rookie mistake: “My phone froze and so it was dead because it was in my pocket and got too cold. So no music for the last mile.”</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Misjudging the cold can lead to frostbite which learned the hard way back in November. She said it’s important not to let your feet get wet. They have to stay dry. Several months later and she's still feeling the pain.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_22096" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">And now, the event we've all been waiting for: frozen turkey bowling. Next up: the toilet seat toss. And of course, “smooshing.” Downtown outside the Viking Bar, it's Team Canada vs. Team U.S.A. In the end, Team U.S.A. takes home the gold.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_22081" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">But win or lose, these winter warriors show us instead of cursing the cold, you have to revel in it.</div></div>

They will be less expensive than items that have been pre-cut if you’re willing to take a few extra minutes chopping.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_19246" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Also, look for ingredients that are in season. Not because it’s cool or trendy but because when fruits and vegetables are abundant, the stores want to sell them quickly, so not only will they be the highest quality, they will be less expensive.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_19256" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">On this trip, Herron, chef at Miami’s Michael’s Genuine Food and Drink, made a braised fish dish with a salad of raw shaved vegetables in only 20 minutes.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_19267" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">This is part of ABC World News’ week-long “Real Money” series to save families money.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390443181227_19267" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Video on: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/beyond-the-headline-abc-news/breaking-fast-food-habit-195309011.html</div></div>
