The Ass Clown of the Month for January, 2014

It's time to present our first Ass Clown of the Month Award for 2014 ... but first, let's take a look back at some statistics about this quasi-prestigious award.

I have presented the Ass Clown of the Month Award 22 times, and the Ass Clown of the Year Award three times¹. There have been a number of dual awards², several group awards³, and an award to a government⁴. There have been awards to political figures, countries, traitors⁵, and idiots⁶. Some recipients fall into more than one category. Oddly enough, there has never been an award to a woman, other than as a member of a larger group⁷.

And this month continues that unfortunate trend.

For the first award of 2014, the standout awardee is the self-appointed United States ambassador to North Korea and self-designated best friend of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un,

Dennis Rodman

For acting like a complete moron, embarrassing himself and his country, and giving aid and comfort to a psychotic tinhorn dictator whose idea of statesmanship is based on hysterical threats and whose idea of good government is maintaining slave labor camps for his opponents, the Ass Clown of the Month Award for January 2014 goes to washed-up NBA buffoon Dennis Rodman.

Maybe he can move to North Korea and show it off to his best friend.

Weather update from Disneyland-on-the-Potomac: the Federal Government and just about everything else has shut down for the day in expectation of our first "major" snowstorm of the year, starting about ten o'clock this morning and not ending until late tonight after leaving five to eight inches of belated White Christmas. I have already issued a new brass monkey alert ... if you live around here, bring 'em in ...

Have a good day. Stay warm, and take it easy with the shoveling. More thoughts tomorrow.
