The Right-Cheek Ass Clown for January, 2016


Welcome to the first of our twice-a-month Ass Clown Awards for 2016!


If you thought that the changing of the year would make a difference in the number of ass clowns out there in the wild, you may as well forget it ... the number is large and growing exponentially, as they seem to breed like rabbits. And given that it's an election year, well ...

The choice of an ass clown to dishonor is always difficult because the field is so large and the competition so intense. Selection is a job worthy of Mike Rowe, but since he's busy, I guess I have to keep stepping up to the plate.

And so it is, ladies and gentlemen, Dear Readers, that I name

The Right-Cheek Ass Clown
for
January, 2016

Ammon Bundy


As the more-or-less leader of the "Citizens for Constitutional Freedom," Mr Bundy has demonstrated an amazing level of cognitive dissonance, lack of understanding of the Constitution, and monumental hypocrisy as he occupies a remote national bird sanctuary to illustrate the seriousness of his demand the federal government stop "overreaching" by giving up publicly-held land so that it can be exploited by ranchers, miners, and other industries. The "overreaching" government that Mr Bundy rails about would be the same one that provided him a $530,000 small business loan for his truck maintenance business in Arizona, and provides him with numerous other taxpayer-funded handouts.

For first-class hypocrisy and loud shouting about the Constitution, of which he knows precious little, Ammon Bundy is named our Right Cheek Ass Clown for January, 2016.

Sorry, Ammon, we don't deliver the award to bird sanctuaries.

Have a good day, and come back tomorrow for Cartoon Saturday. More thoughts then.

A nice choice! In some way, these blowhards have imprisoned themselves in a bird sanctuary, of all things. The one in Oregon now has cuckoo birds. (Or, properly spelled, coo-coos.)

Four-star choice!

The logical choice! Some people are sending them bags pf gummy dicks now that they requested snacks. Delivered by the USPS.

I haven't paid much attention to this whole deal in the news, as it's easier to just shut it off. Without your research into what he has received from the government, I would have maybe been a bit more sympathetic.

Just when you think they nut jobs can't get anymore crazy they go, "Oh yeah? Watch THIS".

Do those errant ranchers at least feed the birdies?

Great choice! I think it's fantastic that they are getting creative alternatives to their request for snacks and supplies.
