Cunnilingus & Psychiatry: "Moe n' Joe"

I Love You Johnny Cakes!

This week, Tony dealt with his resentment towards his sister Janice and how it affected his dealings with her husband, mobster, train collector, and capo wanna-be Bobby Bacala. He revealed what most of us know that he resents Janice for leaving him to deal with his mother and the consequences of that at the end of the very first season, among other childhood torturings. I can only hope that now that this is open and the justification for Janice's existence that she can now get shot in the head never to be seen again.

In New York, Johnny Sack has seen better days. Facing up to 20 years in jail, he fails to turn government cooperator however the plea deal and the subsequent allocution (he admits to being involved in organized crime) cause him equal disrespect among his colleagues in New York and New Jersey and causes Phil Leotardo to end "this favored-nation shit with New Jersey". Tony takes advantage of this in a business arrangement with Johnny Sack pretty much exchanging Ginny's house for his pushing a deal with a couple New Orleans' businessmen for some post-Katrina contracts. We now have the backdrop for the New York-New Jersey war that should end the series this season and next.

Stealing the show though was Vito (Vince) and his new boyfriend Jim (Johnny Cakes). They expressed their love for each other in the kitchen and the bedroom but after Vito realizes he can't cut a real construction day-to-day, he bolts Jim and his fake New Hampshire town and returns to a more familiar but dangerous setting, New Jersey. I admit I flipped away from the bedroom scene, even in 2006 some things I just can't look at. I didn't find Vito's "I Love You, Johnny Cakes!" line that funny at first, but now that its being played on every radio station in the country, it is permanently in book of quotes.

After this episode, I'm pretty sure where this season is going. Phil is still ticked about not being able to kill Steve Buschemi (Tony B.) the way he wanted to, he is also burned by Vito's coming out and its effects on his cousin, Vito's wife. Phil will end up killing Vito in some gruesome, unforgettable fashion. Because he's a captain in Tony's family, this will be the straw that breaks the camel's back between Phil's New York Crew and Tony's New Jersey Crew and we go to the mattresses (which is what everyone wants to see) for the final season.

Next week's preview was pretty vague. Phil still hot about Vito. Silvio borrowing money behind Tony's back. Tony and A.J. having another moment. I take these with a grain of salt now.

So I guess that guy in the Antique shop was just some slut?

Flash Flood does New Hampshire

If you were watching any news this weekend, you knew that my little corner of the country was hit hard by heavy rains and subsequent flooding over the weekend. No winds or Katrina-esque home damage, it just hasn't stop raining since about Wednesday and isn't supposed to stop until this coming Wednesday. Heavy rain came down today and yesterday and brooks, ponds, and rivers are starting to overflow flooding major streets. For anyone worried about me or my family, don't be. We're fine and will have a very green lawn once this stops. I settle into my Framingham, Massachusetts apartment on Monday but will let you know of any stories that come out of this "Emergency".

You Dumb Fuck

While my family stayed inside most of the weekend, only for morning trips to Dunkin' Donuts did I venture into the monsoon and floods of the weekend, Some 12ish, 13ish child prodigy in Londonderry decided he wanted to get closer to the water, and stand on a sturdy log next to a brook. Of course he fell in the water and had to be rescued by Londonderry's finest (not the 1994 Division II Football State Champions, the Police). While police, the town and the boys parents are happy he is safe, this makes my nice, quaint, prosperous and peaceful hometown indefensible.

Come here, genius

Where's the Outrage??

In Southern New Hampshire, flash flooding has closed roads, schools, and ran residents from their homes. Dams are overflowing (probably the direct result of government water dumping) basements are flooded and schools have had to close for tomorrow.

Also tomorrow, President George W. Bush will address the nation...about Immigration from Mexico, in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.

One thing is plainly clear....

Where's Kanye West now?

GEORGE BUSH DOESN'T CARE ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE!!

IMPORTANT NOTE for your Tivos/DVR's

On Monday, President Bush will be addressing the nation in primetime detailing his plans for Immigration Reform. This address is expected to go to about 8:20pm EST and will be carried by Fox. This brings up two issues:

1) '24' addicts like myself should set their Tivos/DVRs to record '24' at least 30 minutes after its original end time. The Season Finale of Prisonbreak is expected to start at 8:20 ending at 9:20 and '24' will start at 9:20pm

2) Americans should be alert and keep an open mind as to not get confused. Mexicans are not sneaking over the border carrying containers of Syntox Nerve Gas. If this were happening Jack Bauer would reduce the Chicano population in this country by 97% with his fists and whatever's in that bag of his. Also Congress Democrats should reserve judgement in thinking George Bush is working with a mole in CTU to erase incriminating audio evidence.
