That’s What Friends Are For, by Michael Davis – Straight No Chaser #100

I’m not stupid.
Well I’ve been lucky enough not to be stupid to much in my life, in fact I’m pretty damn smart. Don’t take my word for it, just take a look at the people who like me. Forget the celebrities who are my friends and there are a few- I’m talking about just regular folk who are cool as shit who really like me.
There are my boys the Mikes. Mike Stradford, Mike Grell, Mike Gold, Mike Raub, Mike Baron. All the Mikes are mad cool. Then there are my girls, Jean who is sweet as candy. Amber who is such a deep thinker. Jasmine who makes me crazy. Martha one of the few people who can make me (apple sauce) laugh, Adrienne who can drink me under the table. My cousin Nila who’s my buddy.
There’s my main man Lovern who really seems to know everything. Marv Wolfman and Len Wein who are just wonderful friends. Jim Chadwick my karaoke buddy- My new friend Tom who’s working with me on some books and of course Denys Cowan and Tatiana. I listed Tatiana last because her head is getting H U G E because of the success of her column. I know I’m forgetting some really cool people and I’m sorry but I’m HIGH on Theraflu so I better get to the rest of the piece before…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

If you are lucky enough to know ANY of these people you know they are the cream of the crop when it comes to human beings. I love them all and except for Jasmine and Jean, I have never wanted to pimp slap any of these people.
No, that’s not fair, the reason I wanted to pimp slap Jean was not her fault so I take that back. Jasmine on the other hand…
Anywho, I know GOOD people. Even some of my Hollywood friends are just ‘salt of the earth’ type folk. Bill Duke (EVERYBODY GO SEE BILL’S NEW MOVIE ‘NOT EASILY BROKEN’ IT OPENS TODAY!) –is simply a wonderful, wonderful human being. You would think a badass director like Bill would be a dick, but nope, he’s a great guy. Wayne Brady is as cool as you think he is and Malcolm Jamal Warner is really cool also. If you ever meet Malcolm yell, “ Theo, What’s up!” he loves that.
Giselle Fernandez who makes me drool (and she’s not even Asian), Ehrich van Lowe (goggle) is mad coolio also. I could go on but I just took another dose of Theafl..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
2 hours later.
So, why am I talking about all the cool people I know? Because everybody I have mentioned and even those I have not would tell me the truth if I were going to do something stupid.
It makes you wonder about the friends of Ann Coulter and this other stupid cow Khalood Bojanowski from the show Momma’s Boys.
I get Ann Coulter the conservative commentator; she is simply riding the wave of stupidity, which is the last gasp of the GOP. She says outrageous things to sell books.
Hell, I’m about to do the same thing with a book I’m writing. The difference between Coulter and me is I’m going to be writing about my perspective from a personal standpoint. I know that some of the things I will be writing about are just what I and I alone think. I recognize that not everyone thinks like me and if you don’t then so be it. I still respect you and your views. Ann Coulter writes as if the bullshit she spouts is the way the world should be and we are stupid if we don’t see that.
I’m sure she believes all of what she says but man oh man can you imagine what her friends think if she is like this all the time? What does it take to be a friend to someone who is just that stupid? In her new book she talks smack about Michelle Obama and consistently calls President elect Obama, ‘B. Hussein Obama’ in an obvious attempt to solidify in the minds of the many assholes the notion that Obama is a Muslim.
Well Ms. Coulter I’m aware of what you think, here’s what I think, the biggest compliment a man from the inner city can give a women is “I’d hit that.” I know that you and your friends don’t spend much time in the inner city (way to many people who don’t look like you there) so I will explain what that means.
I’d hit that, simply put means that someone would have sex with you.
No, it does not mean that some man wants to beat your ass because of your stupid views, although I can see how you would think that. I mean I can see a man wanting to shut you up by any means necessary so when you hear a phase like that I’m sure you cringe as anybody who deserves a good Sean Connery bitch slap would.
But no, I’d hit that means that I would have sex with you. That is indeed the biggest compliment a man could give a women in the hood.
Hey, look people I’m trying to make a point. Yes, I value women, yes there are better things to say to a woman but get over that! For the sake of this point I’m trying to make let’s assume that ‘I’d hit that’ IS the biggest compliment a man from the inner city can give a women. OK?
So Ann, now that you know what that means let me say this to you, if you were the last woman on earth and I was a sex maniac with an disease that could only be cured by having sex with the last woman on earth or a cow which had tested positive for Mad Cow Disease I would have to say…moo.
No, not because of your views and not because you are not Asian. It’s because you are ugly. I mean in my opinion you are simply not attractive. In fact you look a LOT like Edgar Winter. No, I’m sorry that sucks. I should not have said that. I need to apologize for that.
You have my sincere apologies, Mr. Winter.
Why is this relevant? You make it relevant by talking about the looks of our new BLACK FIRST LADY. Hey, this is fun! Just like you I’m saying shit for no reason except to piss people off. You know what? I just realized that even if (I CANNOT believe I’m going to say this) even if you were the most beautiful Asian woman in the world and you wanted to love me long time I would not ‘hit that.’
AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Damn that hurt to say!!
So it must be your views that make you ugly. Nope, just took another look at our photo, you just plain ugly. So it must be your views AND your looks that make you ugly.
But mostly your views…your face…your views…your face.
DAMNIT!!
I can’t decide! OH well simply ‘ugly’ will have to do.
Man it must hurt like a BITCH to know that not only did America REJECT your GOP bullshit but it rejected it in an L A N D S L I D E !!!
How messed up is that Ann? If fact you were beat like a new punk in prison by a BLACK MAN!
HA! I said, HA!!!
What are your friends saying about that Ann? Are you guys sitting around drinking mint juleps and talking about the ‘good ole days?’ Do you still have those friends Ann or did they go back to the plantation to wait out the next eight (yes EIGHT!) years.
Some time ago I mentioned this woman, Khalood Bojanowski from the show Momma’s Boys. I love that show. It’s so horrible it’s good. The show is about mothers who try and influence their son’s choice in a mate. Mrs. Bojanowski does not want her son JoJo to date any black women. She has said that over and over on the show.
Who the fish is that stupid? Mrs. Bojanowski is that stupid. Sounds like Ann and Mrs. B. (that’s what they call her on the show) can be buds.
Mrs. B. your punk ass son could not pull ANY woman on that show if he was not on TV. NO woman in that house would look twice at your puny son if he were at a party or a bar. If I were you (THANK GOD I’M NOT) I would pray that your son does not hook up with a black woman because if that happens you can kiss your claim on your pussy son goodbye.
I don’t think you have to worry Mrs. B. Black women like men and your son does not quite fit that bill. Hey why don’t you give Ann a call? She’s looking for some sucker to follow her around like a little bitch and your son certainly fits that bill.
This is my 100th S No C! Damn. What do I do now? I’m horny. Shit, when I finish something important (like my 100th article ) I get a huge wood…it’s gone.
Just glanced at Ann’s photo…bye, bye Woody.

1. I’m lucky enough to have met 2 people in your list of awesome people… and indeed you could not be more right.
2. Even if Ann transmogrified (through GOP Voodoo) into the hottest Asian chick on the outside, she’s still black (not African-American sweet Chocolate Brown… but oozy-oily-tar-like black… i.e. pure evil) on the inside. I can’t say outside these comments that I could consider myself a personal “friend of the MOTU” (just yet) but I sir, would stop you by any means necessary from ever even considering hitting that. I know if you knew that Ann had somehow disguised herself as the most lovely Asian, and did not speak, you might be tempted… But given that I just downloaded the Wi-Fi-Bitch-o-Tron to my iPhone, I would know ahead of time she had done such an evil thing. I would step in, and stop you from making a mistake, and then sit back and watch as you death ray-ed her into a pile of evil dust.
3. Congrats on reaching your 100th S no C. Here’s to the next batch o’ Hundred. *Raises a Cherry Coke*

You know that Eddie Murphy bit? The one about the starving guy who gets some crackers and he thinks they’re the tastiest thing in the world?
Ann Coulter…is that cracker.
My high school had a controversy a few years before I got there wherein the principal (a Marianist Brother, mind you) ran off with his secretary. And I MEAN “ran off” – left in the dead of night, took one of the Marianist Community’s cars and got outta Dodge (or in this case, Mineola) never to be heard from again. She was over 40 and no great shakes, but compared to the rest of the female staff of the school (well over 60 and long dried out) she was a golden goddess.
Ann Coulter…is that secretary.
She is, simply put, the best we have. She the closest we’ve got to someone young to attract new people, and we have to play her up to be more sexy than she is. She’s more attractive than, say, Rush, but she’d be hard pressed to win a lovely legs competition with Glenn Beck. And Rachel Maddow would clean the carpet with her. (I said CLEAN the carpet, ya filthy buggers…)
She’s very witty, not nearly as controversial as her desingned-to-provoke sound bytes make her out to be, but sexy? No. Woman’s got less meat on her than I leave on my chicken legs after dinner.

My take (albeit HEAVILY borrowed from greater minds) on the man that is Ann.
You’re a monster, Mr. Coulter
Your heart’s an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders,
You’ve got garlic in your soul.
Miiiiiiisssteerrrr Coooouullter….
I wouldn’t touch you, with a
thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.

Why not rely on good ideas instead? I mean, I enjoy reading Paul Krugman and Al Franken, but none of them rely on their looks to sell their ideas (or their books). Even Joe Conason, who I find real attractive, manages to use ideas, not his looks, to make a living.

@ Vinnie BTW-
Your point is well taken, she IS the best the GOP has. I’ve said many times if it was not for poking their noses in my bedroom and telling others how to live thus trying to regulate morality I would be a member of the GOP.
I like guns, small government and a slew of things that the GOP represents. That said-STAY THE FISH OUT OF MY BEDROOM, stop ignoring civll rights and let me worship who I worship. Do that and I’m a card carrying member.
I think the images from the GOP convention showing the massive amount of over 60 year old people in a sea of all white did just as much to doom the party as Sarah Palin did.
When there was a young face showed they looked like Hitler youth. I’m not kidding those ‘young republicans’ with the short cropped hair, white shirts and the JC Penny suits looked scary.
If the GOP is going to survive they have to realize that they are SO to the right that some people think they are a cult. They better move their asses a bit more to the center and stop scaring people with those old white faces and cowboy hats.

I’ve said it many times, I’m what Jesse Ventura calls a “Fiscal conservative and a social liberal”. Yes, technically that makes me a libertarian, but I’d rather associate myself with a party that has a 50/50 chance of getting in power occasionally.
“If the GOP is going to survive they have to realize that they are SO to the right that some people think they are a cult. ”
I hate to pull out a standard argument, but you could easily say the same of the Democrats. To drag this back to the topic (what the hell, right?) it’s what Ann was talking about in her previous book; the fervor that the Democrat leadership holds to their beliefs that there is no God (and that evolution rules above all) rivals the zeal of any religion. For people who claim that free speech rules above all, they’re quite good at telling people to shut up.
It’s that which amazes me about what Obama is saying – it’s amazingly moderate compared to what you usually hear from Democrats. Cut taxes? Blasphemy, for a Democrat. Actually find ways to pay for your plans by removing waste in the budget? Mighod, you’d think he was treating it like it was real money. I liked him from a charismatic “I can look up to this man” viewpoint, but some of the things he’s actually doing have me thinking stuff might get done. As soon as I hear other Democrats are coming out against his plans, I immediately think they have merit.
The man’s even coming out for ways to get the space program back on its legs again. The people calling this a new Camelot might be more true than we thought.
@ Martha – “Why not rely on good ideas instead? ”
Yes, and while we’re at it we should take turns when merging into tunnels and you should never bring too many items into the express checkout. That’s a mindset that (if I may pull out a physics joke) only works on a flat Earth with no air. Most people will rarely listen to people that are not attractive. Walter Cronkite would be lucky to get a spot on 60 Minutes if he were getting into the new game today. Like Mr. Davis said, it’s that sea of liver-spotted white that is ruining the game for the Republicans. You wanna compete, you got to look good. Sad, but so.

I’m also humbled to be included in your cool list MOTU. You truly know good people.

I may be able to drink you under the table Michael, but I highly doubt I could think you under it! 😉 Though I look forward to getting a chance to do both when I’m in LA. I’ve decided to only drink alcohol whilst away on vacations, so my tolerance should be quite low come March.
I caught 20 seconds of Ann Coulter’s Today interview (oddly enough on ET not Today) I didn’t recognize her immediately because she wasn’t wearing her Robert Palmer Girl black cocktail dress, that is all the thought I’m going to put into that “woman” since any further gets me so angry I could spit and I’m a lady.

“…the fervor that the Democrat leadership holds to their beliefs that there is no God …”
How can anyone believe that bullshit? Nobody in Democratic leadership says there is no God. It would be political suicide to say so. And, I’d wager, there are very few atheists in Democratic leadership.

@Alan: “I’d wager, there are very few atheists in Democratic leadership.”
None that would admit it.
Religious freedom is the great American fantasy. You’re free to worship the Christian god and only the Christian god, and then only as long as you’re not gay or Santerian or, in many circles, Catholic. Some states require their governors to take their oath of office in the form of a pledge to this specific god, in direct violation of the Constitution. And we’ve got at least one Supreme Court Justice who believes that the states have the right to limit religious freedom, even in its current pathetically crippled form.

Al Franken just beat out Norm Coleman for one of Minnesota’s Senate seats. I believe they are both Jewish. Minnesota also has one of the nation’s few Muslim Congressmen! There isn’t a huge Jewish or Muslim population in Minnesota, but that doesn’t seem to matter to the voters.
Look, I will admit that the USA is predominantly Christian. I can admit that even in this land of Religious Freedom, public displays of Christian Beliefs give some politicians an edge in some places. But Religious Freedom is NOT a great American fantasy. It is, like ALL of our Freedoms, a goal, not necessarily a day to day reality.
Just because our Country isn’t perfect, that doesn’t make our ideals a fiction or a cruel lie. They remain ideals and we remain imperfect compared to the perfection of our ideals.
The son of an ethnic Musilim-atheist and a White-religious agnostic was just elected President. Yeah, there was PLENTY of publicity surrounding his religious teacher’s and beliefs, but he got ELECTED!
Religious freedom is not the great American Fantasy. No more than any of our other freedoms are.

LMAO!!!! He beat Norm Coleman?……..LMFAO!!!!! Sure…Sure he beat him….Along with help from his friends who filled out all the ballots that “appeared” in the backs of cars and hidden nooks in the most liberal cities within MN…..Yeah…He beat him…LOL
As for the future “face” of the Conservative base…How any of you haven’t mentioned MEGYN KELLY is beyond me. Now, SHE is a face, brain, body, and attitude to match. Not many guys or girls (of such a persuasion) would pass up a chance to hit that! Seriously…She’s hot and smart, and I am in love.

I’ll admit she’s not bad. I’ll give her an L.A. 7 which is a GOP 100.
I’ve heard her speak. Don’t like her views but will admit she’s smart and capable. I don’t think she has hit the mainstream yet-if she had then more people would be saying she is the new voice of the GOP and not Sarah Palin.
The GOP convention was a wonderful oppotunity to bring out a fresh face like hers instead we got a zillion shots of old white people in cowboy hats. If you expect people to find her on the FOX channel that is NOT going to happen.
I H A T E the FOX channel and all that it represents. If Megyn Kelly is going to have a impact on young America then she will have to appear someplace where America is looking. Expecting someone like me to give a shit about her because she’s appearing on the ‘Factor’ or her show on the Fox channel is like expecting me to tune into the ‘Klan network.’
Not gonna happen.
Lastly-if she was Asian-I’d hit that.

@ Russ: “Religious freedom is not the great American Fantasy. No more than any of our other freedoms are.”
It depends upon who’s Golden Ox is being gored, Russ.
We still have blue laws up the yin-yang, same-sex marriage is still illegal, you cannot get elected President unless YOU are publicly Christian (and what’s a Moslem-Atheist?), you cannot take the oath of office as governor of any of several states unless you pledge fealty to the Christian god, we’re still being barraged with how the USA is “a Christian nation” (which means our founding fathers must have been a bunch of idiots), it’s perfectly legal for pharmacists to refuse filling customers’ emergency prescriptions because it offends THEIR religious beliefs, you are prohibited from buying or selling a car on Sunday in Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and in parts of Maryland and you’re severely restricted from doing so in Texas and Utah, grocery stores are shuttered on Christmas Day as a matter of law in Massachusetts and Connecticut — hunting is also illegal in Connecticut on Sunday — and all retail activity is outright banned on Sundays in Bergen County New Jersey, which just across the Hudson from Hymietown and, therefore, not much of an inconvenience.
And that just scratches the surface. This site doesn’t have the bandwidth for me to list all the religious persecution that is a matter of law in the United States of America.
