ASKEW(ED)…  out of line.

Like some cheap carnival psychic, we see patterns and associations where others find only soggy clumps of tealeaves.  The real danger emerges when we feel compelled to react: it’s like my dad always said, “Don’t just get mad get mad and really depressed at the same time.”

VIEW…  opinion or judgment colored by the feeling or bias of its holder.

Remember when getting your car washed meant that it was actually CLEAN afterwards?  Now it means slopping the grime around with an oily rag.  Nowadays, driving around without crumbs in your cup holder or bird shit on your headlights means you shelled out $50 to have the damn thing “detailed.”  Thank God we live in a society where fading craftsmanship and a pandemic lack of personal responsibility can be obscured with a new vocabulary.

SKEWER…  to criticize or ridicule sharply and effectively.  Or, one of those really long, pointy Kabob pins.

Every week we cook up a fresh, sharp, and juicy SKEWER.   While it’s not exactly a vegan paradise, take out is available, so sign up for free delivery.

History
Due to the largesse and poor judgment of John Gates, the SKEWER was heard weekly in Southern California on KOGO - AM 600 during the “Capitalist Defender” broadcast. In part due to the irreverent and sardonic content of the SKEWER, and his own distorted sense of self, John was forcibly removed from the airwaves and is currently being held at the State Mental Hospital at Vacaville. His assets have been seized and are slated for auction on eBay. Proceeds will go to his ex-wife Lorraine`s cosmetic enhancement fund.

Temporarily placed in the foster care of the “Howard Stern Show” in San Diego, the SKEWER enjoyed home-cooked meals, a warm bed and hot, girl-on-girl action.  Sadly, the FCC’s  McCarthyesque  crackdown against the First Amendment prompted Clear Channel to pull Howard from the airwaves, forcing the SKEWER back onto the streets.   In the final analysis, Stern’s $500 million satellite deal ended the career of FCC chairman Michael Powell and induced Southern California’s independently owned KPRI – FM 102.1 to glom onto the SKEWER in a feckless attempt to capture some nebulous fallout from the half-billion dollar transaction. 

And Then…Along came Air America Radio, offering national distribution of our vapid commentary and the opportunity to poison the collective consciousness in a much more efficient manner.  And we think we’ve finally settled down for good this arrangement is bound to last because as long as Democrats keep losing elections, millions of Americans will compulsively tune in and listen to each other complain about evaporating civil liberties and reckless military adventurism.  We are on the air Thursdays, alternating between Al Franken and Randi Rhodes like some conflicted, transgendered bisexual.  Join us, won’t you?
