All you politically contentious people out there....think of the joys of the recent past...joys that are there no longer. (sob!) Remember when we had George Bush and Bill Clinton to make fun of? Remember just how much fun it WAS??? Is Obama this much fun? Naw... For a reminder, a true blast from the past, check this out:

YEah, well, I am reminded of the joke where Bill comes back from a trip to Arkansas and walks down Air FOrce One's stairway with a razorback hog under each arm. The US Marine on gguard at the bottom of the ladder says, "Nice pigs, sir!"

Bill says, "Hell, soldier, these aren't pigs. These are Arkansas razorbacks, see? I got this one for HIllary, and this one for Chelsea!"

Trying to recover from his gaffe, the Marine gives a snappy salute and replies "Yes, sir!! Good trade, sir!"

That's how I feel about Bush and Obama. Good trade, sir.

LOL! Good one, Amos.

We need another "good old boy" psycho in the White House. Trust me. It makes most people feel good to know that the President is probably about as clueless and out of touch as they themselves are. And that is why I think Chongo's chances are really quite good in 2012.

I disagree entirely, LH, about a clueless president. I think we should have had the good sense to elect someone totally clued in. Too bad we missed our chance to elect Molly Ivins.

Truth to tell, Sarah Palin is the only candidate who genuinely worries Chongo. She might prove hard to beat in 2012, and she has pointblank refused to run as his VP. Likewise, he has refused to run as hers. She wants the top spot this time. So does Chongo. Too bad, because I think that together they would be unstoppable.

Stilly, I don't think you're getting my drift here at all... ;-) Watch a few old videos that make fun of Bush and Clinton and you'll cheer right up.

This one, for instance:

"The Buick stops here..."

Gad, clueless don! How can you NOT know who Chongo is??? Do a search in the filter for "Chongo Chimp" or just "Chongo", and you will get a whole bunch of thread titles onscreen. Open them. Read them. You will soon be enlightened.

Chongo will be running for president, as usual, on the APP ticket in 2012. It is his intention to straighten out America by putting a chimp in the Oval Office. (No George Bush jokes, please!)

Chongo is one of Little Hawk's imaginary playmates, Don. He dreams up stories about them to keep people from getting mad at him.


Chongo's sister, Chinga, is quite real, though...

Chinga is one of Amos's imaginary playmates, Don. He dreams up stories about them to piss other people off. (meaning me, mostly)

Chinga's brother, Chingo, is quite real, though. He rents from me part time...he comes up here in the good weather to get away from the hustle-bustle in Chicago. The only thing I don't like about Chongo is the cigar smoke....but he is kind enough to only smoke outdoors on the patio when he visits me here in Orillia.

Chongo is a fascinating character. He came over on a banana boat from west central Africa in the late 20's, actually witnessed the shocking events that culminated in King Kong's untimely death on the streets of Manhattan, and has fought for truth, justice, and the American Way on the gritty streets of the Windy City ever since he hung out his sign there in the late 30's....

"Chongo Chimp, Primate Eye - Any case solved, LARGE or small, but NO divorce cases!"

Chongo has a personally autographed photo of Primo Carnera on his office wall, he once put the cuffs on Al Capone, and he has drunk a beer and shared time on the firing range with Clint Eastwood.

"Chingo" at the beggining of my second paragraph in that last post was a mispelling, by the way. I meant "Chongo". There is no brother named "Chingo".

The debate over the relative reality of Chongo and Chinga (whom Little Hawk acknowledges as Chongo's sister) reminds me of an ancient rhyme:

There once was a homo named Bloom
Took a lesbian up to his room.
But they argued all night,
About who had the right
To do what, and with which, and to whom.


Chongo is a figment who insists he don't know nuffin about Chinga, his sister by birth, who was forced into prostitution at an early age because the feckless Chongo abandoned his mother and sister to seek wealth and adventure. She fought her way up the ladder of success and now owns and operates a chain of prosperous red-light establishments in Chicago, Milwaukee, Denver and Orelia, Canada.

Chongo's "creator", or figment-meister acknowledges the claimancy of Chinga. Yet Chongo does not. Is this self-contradiction by Little Hawk? A double standard? Hypocrisy? A divine identity crisis?


Stay tuned for more adventures in the Shattering Psyche of the North series, brought to you by Blatt's and Wheat Chex.

Chingo/Cbongo, born in the Congo
Has attained a very great age
Although I feel that he is not real
To say it ain't worth Little Hawk's rage

He is astonishingly old, yes...yet still virile and active. It's a testament to the benefits of cigars, whisky, and a diet of danger.

He has never married. Could that be another clue to his astonishing longevity?

Chinga imagines that she is Chongo's sister. It's a sad case. This sort of thing happens to famous people like Bob Dylan, William Shatner, and Chongo Chimp. Other people claim to be their close relatives and stalk them and try to horn in on their glory.

Hmm...Little Hawk is asserting his figment has a figment about Chinga, while he himself has asserted said figment of a figment is real. This gets REALLY complicated. Somebody should ask his view of who is doing what and with which and to whom. And meanwhile, you will notice Chongo never frequents Chinga's several Parlours of Delight, because all the booy guards and doormen have standing orders if he shows his face in those parts, and he would not want to confront those consequences. No, sirree. Chongo made it clear early in life he was looking out for Numero Uno, and let the chimps fall where they may...

You must be joking. It's totally obvious. He simply radiates virility out of every pore. Chongo is a real "man" of action in the immortal style of Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade.

Exactly. That's my point. Obama isn't that funny. Sarah Palin isn't that funny. But George Bush was very funny! And so was Bill Clinton. We need a president we can laugh at to give people a little relief valve now and then.

Just wait till Chongo gets elected.

Remember when the pound was Sterling? (Parity soon with the Euro?)

Remember the last time parliment was in this shape? (1972)
