1) The Palace had 99 visitors seeking treats tonight. seven more than last year but, I just wanted that one more to crack 100. Oh well, maybe next year.
2) I caught part of the Montreal vs. Toronto hockey game tonight on the Hockey Channel. In this game Montreal was wearing one of their throwback uniforms. This uniform has to be one of the most godawful things ever designed. It looked like Toronto was playing the Montreal Correctional Facility inmate team. It is even worse than the Sabre's Banana Slug design and that is saying a lot.
3) The Palace set a record today in political mailings. I received nine of the bloody things. I normally hate them but the one I liked the most said probably the most truthful thing that a political mailing has said..That Sue Swanton supports cuts to our Police Dept. Electing her will be a big error. And once again, in another mailing, our hero Steve Tucciarello managed to pass a law limiting spending increases. Sounds like he is a one man show on the County Council. Another one said that Frank Muscato was guilty...I never knew he went to trial. Another one had Bob Duffy supporting Frank...This is Gates and I could care less who Bob Duffy supports. Stick to the city Bob where I think you probably have enough headaches of your own. Another one said that Mark McIntee, Sue Swanton and Donald Hunter have a plan. The last time someone had a plan was in the movie 'Tremors' and Fred Ward had a plan..or was it Kevin Bacon, well whoever it was at least they had a plan. So if Gates ever has big worm creatures attacking it I will definitely vote for the democrats, but until then, I do not think so.
4) I am in the middle of the last big leaf raking job of the season. I would have finished it today but it was too bloody windy but I did use the wind to my advantage for once by raking with it. It was easier but there was no way that I could have laid a tarp down as I would have been chasing it all across Gates. I am not in shape for that. The trees are now bare enough so that I can go on the roof and clean out the gutters for the winter. Boy it sure would be nice if I had a royal gutter cleaner but I am a cheap bastard and will do it myself. So, if you see a big dummy on a roof in Gates with a big hump on his back it will probably be me wearing my royal parachute.
5) Your King had his visit to the Royal Gastroenterologist on Friday and came out of the exam with a perfect colon. It was probably the easiest thing you can ever do..except for the day before when you cannot eat and you have to drink that special witch's brew to clean out your system. The last time my colon was this clean was fifty one years ago when I popped out. At least now I get a pass for ten more years before the next one. What a joy it was when the Queen had a Palermo's sub waiting for me when I got home. I think I set a time record in eating it as it was gone in a heartbeat. It needed more mayo which drives me nuts. I always ask for extra mayo and wherever I get a sub they never put enough extra on. Is there a mayo shortage that I am unaware of? Are we rationing mayo? If someone asks for extra mayo why can't they give extra mayo? DiRosatos is famous for skimping on the mayo. Their subs would be excellent if they put enough mayo on them but Palermos would still beat them. Give me my mayo! Boy did I do one hell of a segway on this one. Its probably the first time in blog history that someone wrote about having a clean colon and wanting extra mayo in the same paragraph.
6) Well, your King has remembered to set his clocks back tonight so that is why you are getting this extra special late blog tonight. I hope you all remembered to set yours back. Nothing like spending that extra hour in bed.
Speaking of bed, your King has now run out of garbage to write so I am wishing all of you a pleasant night and a happy Halloween...BOOOOOO!

Your King Supports the Gates Police
Being in the Kingdom of Moronica, which lies within the boundary of the Town of Gates, I have had a chance for the last eight plus years of observing the various ideas and stances of the two political parties within this town. It seems to me to come down to a basic choice for Gates residents. Either keeping our Police force intact or getting a new Library. The GOP is in favor of keeping the local Police but the Democrats, while they will not come out and say it directly, would like to reduce or disband the Police Dept. leaving more money for Sue "Pelosi" Swanton's dream of a brand new library for Gates. While I am not against a library the Kingdom of Moronica believes it would be a huge error to allow the Democrats to get control of the town. I do not want 'Metro Police'. I do not want a fifteen to twenty minute wait for an officer to show up, if the officer does show up depending on the type of call. While Mark McIntee will NOT come out and say this directly but electing him supervisor will mean the eventual destruction of the Gates Police Dept. His idea of getting money from the County is a bunch of hooey and anyone with a brain will see right through it.
The Kingdom has had a few, how can I say it, opportunities to have the police come for some reason or another, the Queen's car has been entered twice, and they have always been prompt and courteous. Our local police have always had a special relationship between the residents of Gates and themselves, a relationship that we would lose with metro police.
Sue Swanton wants to spend ten million dollars for a new library. Where will this money come from? I would like this question answered truthfully. It would probably come from making cuts in departments and services and everyone knows that she is totally for the dismantling of our police Dept. and going metro.
The Democrats complain about the tax rate, which is moronic when you look at the amount that we are really taxed. Our tax levy is the lowest for any town with a police dept. Do we really want to save a few bucks by cutting out a vital service? Well, I believe that the tax rate probably will not go down as we will be paying off the new library. In my eight plus years living in this town I have to say that for the money we pay in taxes we get the biggest bang for our buck around. Mark Assini will continue to provide excellent leadership to continue this. Mark McIntee will not. I have said before that I have voted for Mark for the Town Board but I will not vote for him for supervisor because of what I feel is the unspoken objective of the Democratic party in this town....The elimination of the Gates Police Dept.
Your King requests that you think deeply before casting your vote this Tuesday in the Gates Town elections. The vote you cast may decide whether or not we keep our fine Police Dept. intact. Your King supports the Gates GOP and Steve Tucciarello in the upcoming election and will probably vote democrat for the rest of the offices in contention. Remember, think before you pull that lever as your vote will count!
Good night from your King.

King vs. Leaves and Other Moronic Things
1) Well yesterday was the nightmare that I thought it was going to be. Mother nature threw her best shot at your King and left him very weak in the knees. I raked my back yard and nearly died doing it. I could not believe the number of piles I had to drag out on the tarp to the road. I believe I ended up with fourteen tarp fulls. The previous record was, maybe, nine. Plus, to make matters worse, they were wet from the rain that fell on Friday. Ugh. This leads to #2.
2) Prince Spoiled Brat showed up during my raking looking rather ugly. Your King asked him to help out with the raking and the look I got, man, he looked at me like I had a bad case of the swine flu. He said no and went on in. Now, compounding the crime I had a fish dinner left over in the fridge that I was looking forward to eating after I finished raking. Prince Brat took care of that as I went to the fridge, after four hours of very hard work a very hungry King and found all that was left of my fish dinner was the Cole slaw. The fries and the fish vanished. Prince Spoiled Brat made short work of them. THEN he has the audacity to ask me for five dollars for him to go out with for the night. Now, if he had helped me it would have been no problem but between his lack of help AND devouring my fish dinner, well the answer to his request was a no brainer---ask your mother for it, this bank is closed for the day. The absolute nerve of the Prince.
3) Your King fibbed when he said that he put his clubs away for the year. I went out and played today and actually walked the course. Maybe I should have put them away for the year as I played probably the worst round of the year. My arms were dead from the massive raking from yesterday but I still managed to have fun which is what it is all about. I hit a couple of very nice shots and that was about it. My shot from behind a tree on eight would have made Sergio proud but I did not have the strength to run down the fairway to watch it like he did. That was definitely my last round until spring. I wished my buddies a great winter and told them I was looking forward to Spring. Hopefully next year I will play better as I really did not play much good golf this year. I did have one major problem though. I was squeezing the old butt cheeks for the last two holes as I felt my intestines rumbling and grumbling. I knew I was in big time trouble but I knew that there was a bathroom behind the eighteenth hole so I quickly putted out and ran to the toilet...just my luck it was closed for the season. So I squeezed harder walking down eighteen and made a mad dash for the restroom after completing my round. Not to be disgusting but your King did leave the room uninhabitable.
4) In one of the political mailings I received yesterday I read something that I have to remark about. It said that 'Steve Tucciarello will deliver NO property tax increase in the 2010 County Budget'. Man that guy must have some stroke in the County Council in order to personally do this himself. I wonder what Maggie and the rest of the council were doing at the time Steve did this. Anyone capable of doing this himself has my vote. It reminds me of Albania's leader Enver Hoxha standing up to Nikita Kruschev during one meeting way back when. But we all knew that ol' Enver had no stroke when it came to dealing with the ol' USSR.
5) I cannot bring myself to spend a whole blog on this subject today so here goes. The Bills won. The defense played very well and Free Safety Jairus Byrd looks like a great draft pick for the Bills. He has five interceptions already and its not even halfway into his rookie year. The Bills have nine picks in the last two games and that is impressive. BUT the offensive continues to be very stinky. They did very well to convert turnovers into points but really did not have any great drives. Fitzpatrick was very ordinary but that was still better than the usual Trent Edwards show. The pass to Evans for the touchdown was a rifle job. It was impossible for Lee Evans to drop that ball as it was lodged deeply into his navel. The running game has been abysmal since the return of Marshawn Lynch. The Bills ran it much better without him and it seems that Mr. Mind needs to play Fred Jackson more. Still, it was nice to see Mr. Mind actually moving and breathing on the sidelines for a change. But then again, as we get closer to Halloween, zombies do come to life at this time of year. The countdown now stands at tee minus nine games and counting until Mr. Mind gets launched. The last two games notwithstanding.
Well, its time to go watch the last game of the night. Your King has had a busy weekend and it is time to relax. Good night.

More Idle Moronica from the Palace
1) Its almost the end of October and neither Mark McIntee or Mark Assini has visited the Kingdom of Moronica in their bids to become Gates Town Supervisor. In what figures to be a close election in Gates this year the Moronican vote could be the key swing votes. Its always good to gain the support of the Moronican Royal Family.
2) I was channel surfing tonight out of boredom again, as the Queen is out at a hayride with one of her good friends, and I happened to stop at Headline News with Nancy Grace. They should rename it 'Missing White Woman News'. Every time I watch it they are having some kind of a 'breaking news' story about a missing white woman. Now don't get me wrong as I feel bad for the families but don't black women go missing now and then? Chinese American women? Indian American women, et al?
3) I dread tomorrow as every time I look out my kitchen window at my back yard I cringe. In all my time in residence here at the Palace I have never seen such a dumping of leaves in the span of one week before. As of Sunday there was hardly a leaf on the ground but now there is not a blade of grass to be seen and I thank my lucky stars that I live here in Gates. I thank Ralph Esposito for keeping the weekly leaf pickup because if the town only picked up once or twice during leaf season I wouldn't know where I would put all of the leaves as the front of my yard, along the road, fills up quickly even during the light leaf dumpings. I just cannot imagine how my shoulders will feel after tomorrow's effort, weather permitting.
4) The Buffalo Sabres are 5-1-0-1 so far this season and they are playing rather well. They are playing good defense and are starting to put the puck in the net more regularly than they did at the start of the season. Of note at this time they have only one regulation loss so far this year. Your King has been to only one game this year. Guess which game your King attended.......... Congratulations, you are right.
5) Its getting cold now so your King has decided to pack up the golf clubs for the season, unless there is an absolutely knockout day that I cannot resist the call of the Titleist. What stinks is that now that I have a club that I know I can clear that stupid pond on hole number ten at Brook Lea my ticket there has decided to pack in his membership. Now what is more important, keeping your membership at Brook Lea or saving for your kid's education. To me its a no brainer.
6) Trent Edwards is out of Sunday's game versus Carolina, thank god. We may actually now see Lee Evans and Terrell Owens play this week. The two of them have been expensive window dressing in Buffalo's fine offensive showings so far this year. Too bad Carolina's strength is Buffalo's major weakness so this game should be a rather quickly played affair as I expect Carolina to try to run it down Buffalo's throat. That should not be too difficult as Mr. Mind probably has the Bill's defense prepping for Jake Delhomme's "superb" passing game.
7) I must really miss my Queen more than I realize as I am spending my Friday night doing this stupid blog, twice in fact. Boredom reigns in Moronica this evening so much that I even did a political blog tonight, which I abhor unless a point needs to be made. Even the Royal Mutt is sitting quietly and not bothering me for a change but that is because there is nothing good on the telly. If I was really interested in something she would be driving me nuts wanting to play. Speaking of the Royal Mutt it goes without saying that she is a good judge of character. She loves just about everybody except for Prince Spoiled Brat's friends. She knows slugs when she sees them.
8) Now that your King has reached the golden age of fifty I get to see the Royal Gastro-Intestinal specialist soon to have my lower pipes checked out. Boy, am I looking FORWARD to that. I cannot wait to start drinking that special kool-aid the night before to clean out the pipes. I hope that la-la juice they give you before the procedure is as good as the doctor says it is.
Well, I guess that is enough moronica for one evening. I can't give you all of the exciting tidbits in the life of your King or else there will be nothing to write about. I tried calling Santa to get the lowdown on his White House experience but he is too busy at this time to speak with me. I guess that is good news for a change. So this is your King signing off and wishing you a pleasant weekend. Mine will suck with my leaf debacle. Good night.

Troubled Gates Beavers Sadden Your King
Its that time of the year where plenty of trees are taken down, converted to paper and then used in political mailings. Fewer trees means plenty of unhappy beavers but I digress. I have to say the number of mailings that I have received here at the Palace is amazing. Every day I receive between two to six of these things in my mail. Mostly they are for the race between Frank Muscato and Steve Tucciarello. Today's count is two for Frank, one for Steve and one general GOP mailing. I normally use these to line my guinea pig's cage but even she is getting nauseated.
Lets take a look at Frank's mailings for today. In the first mailing he again brings up Robutrad and rakes Frank Allkofer and Elaine Tette over the coals again. These two people are victims and it is a shame that their names are brought up again and again in these mailings. I am sure that if they knew what was going on, when they hired out their work, they would have searched elsewhere to have their needed work done. And what does Robutrad have to do with the race for Monroe County Council anyways. The mailing makes it look like the only thing Robutrad did was house jobs for family, friends and fellow Republicans. That was not the case. Robutrad is a Barbaro (i.e. dead horse) so stop whipping it. Besides, even though Robert Morone was the GOP chairman of Gates that has NOTHING to do with the officials that were elected in Gates that had the unfortunate luck of knowing that Mr. Morone had friends who could do PAID FOR work for them. Friends of Morone that, at the time, were on the County payroll unbeknownst to them.
In the second mailing he actually brings up a point in saying that Steve voted for Maggie's un-F.A.I.R. plan. Maggie rammed this through and then got it booted by the Appellate Court. Steve could have really impressed me by voting against it but he did not. It would be nice to see some GOP and Democrat members of the council that have an independent mind instead of always voting along party lines. Bipartisan work, I guess, is just a figment of our imagination. So in terms of Frank's mailings he is two for two in attacks on Steve.
Now lets take a look at Steve's mailing for the day. It points out that he supported programs that brought jobs to Gates. It says that Adecco USA, Inc. brought 200 new jobs to Gates. I guess that is good. It also lists Johnson and Johnson which is crappola as Johnson and Johnson has been in Rochester before Steve was elected to office so that is a strike there. The same with Sentry Group with 400 local jobs. He supported programs that protected these jobs. Can someone tell me what the programs were that protected these jobs? But to give Steve credit there was nothing attacking his opponent. Kudos.
Lets take a look at the general GOP mailing for Mark Assini, Elaine T. and Frank A. It did not attack anyone which is good and pointed out a few things in their favor. OK, I can live with that.
Lets look at the score - two attack mailings by the democrats none of which even stated any kind of issue other than scandals and the infamous un-F.A.I.R. plan. Two normal mailings from the GOP attacking no one and striving to put out a positive atmosphere. Hmm, as a life long middle of the road lefty I must say that I am sick of these attack mailings so please send me a mailing that gives me a reason to vote for you Frank instead of giving me reasons not to vote for Steve. Robutrad reasons that have no bearing on Steve's record in the Council should not be brought up in any future mailings.
Now getting back to saving trees for our troubled Gates beavers, maybe its time they put out some barrels on the corner of the streets in Gates so we can deposit out mailings so that they can be recycled properly or at least they can give us some return to sender bags so we can send them back from whence they came so they can reuse them again next election time. Hey, lets see how many miles(years) they can get out of Robutrad.
Ugh, I hate these political blogs as they make me nauseous, but then again, not as nauseous as watching a typical Bill's game this year. This is your King, just stating the facts, ma'am. Good night.

King Dinglefritz Witnesses a Miracle
Now that I have had a couple of days to digest what I saw the Bill's victory on Sunday can only be described as a miracle. The Jets ran for over 300 yards but, thank goodness, we had quarterback Mark Sanchez on our side. He threw more completions to Bills players Sunday than Trent Edwards did. Speaking of Captain Check Down, part of the miracle was that he got conked on the head again resulting in Ryan Fitzpatrick taking over. Fitzpatrick was not THAT effective but at least he TRIED to get it to Evans and Owens. I do not believe that if Edwards remained in the game the Bills would have won. The Jets would not have had to throw since the Bills would not have crept back into the game.
One group of players for the Bills that I have not assailed this season has been their secondary. Except for five minutes against New England they have been very good. It is a very deep unit and with all of the boo boos that that unit has had everyone has been needed. But then again, when the other team runs wild against you the secondary always has good numbers.
Mr. Mind tried his best again to give the Jets a chance to win by his horrible game management at the end of regulation as, like in last year's Cleveland game, he did not try to run plays that would have gotten Lindell closer to the goalposts in the bad end of the field as time ran down. I could see the miss coming just like last year. At least we had the fallback position of going into OT if he missed it BUT....
As expected, the Jets won the overtime coin toss and predictably went down the field. It looked like they had a chip shot field goal set up when out of nowhere the referee saw a blatant holding penalty and ACTUALLY called it. I was beside myself as this game was in New York and you do not see these penalties called against the home team unless, of course, you are in Ralph Wilson Stadium. That was another part of the miracle.
Then the teams played giveaway and it sure looked like, and it would have been a deserved result, that the game was going to end in a tie. Neither team deserved to win, just like last weeks Cleveland game, but Lindell came through and won the game with his foot. The last part of the miracle.
Mr. Mind plays not to lose instead of going for the win. You cannot survive with that attitude in today's NFL. Its like playing the 'Prevent' defense with the game on the line. It only prevents you from winning. It is now tee minus ten games until Mr. Mind is launched into the Netherworld of ex-coaches. He may find a job as a Gatorade holder for some other team but if he ever becomes a head coach again I will abdicate my throne.
All in all this game was not the waste of life that last week's game was but still the Bills do not entertain. Hopefully with a week's worth of preparation Ryan Fitzpatrick will be better this week. He was decent for Cincinnati last year as the season wound down, still he is no Carson Palmer let alone a Jim Kelly. A few decent games from Fitzpatrick and maybe Edwards will have his butt kept on the bench but I would like to see Trent back in as that would guarantee Mr. Mind's launching at season's end. Unfortunately, that is all we have to look forward to this season as any hopes for playoffs were lost during the opening kickoff of the Patriots game way back in September. Mr. Mind must go. So let it be written, so let it be done.
Your King.

Wings, Kings and Other Mundane Things
1) The Royal Mutt must have been upset with me today as I took her to the vet yesterday. She got her shots and other things and her exam was perfect, However, payback was tonight. Within a span of fifteen minutes she managed to pop me in my left eye and squash the 'crown jewels'. I think she is pretty proud of herself.
2) The Bills suck!
3) Rush Limbaugh is getting to be pretty amusing. He offended black players with his comment on Donovan McNabb four years ago and now wonders why the black players will not have anything to do with the team he was interested in buying with a group of investors. He has since been booted from that group. Now really Rush, did you expect to be greeted into the NFL family by a parade of happiness? He is even reaching by saying the president is getting involved with the situation that resulted in his expulsion. This guy is delusional and yet he captivates a considerable number of people in this country. To each his own I guess.
4) The Bills Reek!
5) It is amazing the crap that Senator McConnell of Kentucky is spouting. He has told members of his party to stay in line and not vote for the Health Care Bill as he does not want to help the president gain a major victory. While this bill is nowhere near perfect it is a start. I like Senator Olympia Snowe's idea where if the private insurance companies start raising their rates after a period of time then a government option may be palatable. Maybe the threat of it will keep them in line. Who knows.
6) The Bills Blow!
7) The King celebrated his 51st birthday at home yesterday. Complete peace, quiet and serenity was the much needed present that I gave to myself. I wanted to golf but the weather sucked. I at least made the Queen happy by putting up the Halloween decorations. My Queen's happiness means more to me than anything and it was nice to put a smile on her face.
8) The Bills Stink!.
I guess that is all I can think of tonight. Nothing of note but just a bunch of crappola. Have a nice evening!
PS: Rumor has it that Santa has escaped from his room at Bellvue and is now back at the North Pole. I know he is busy now but maybe, just maybe, we can squeeze in a call to him and get his side of the White House adventure soon.

King Dinglefritz Throws Away Three Hours of his Life
This afternoon I had the misfortune of watching the Buffalo Bills play the Cleveland Browns. Watching this game was like getting a colonoscopy without getting the la-la juice injection. The final score was 6-3 and that score was very indicative of the excitement generated by both wretched teams. How I could have sat through three hours of this mess is beyond me. Players on both teams should have been arrested for impersonating actual NFL players. There should have been an announcement run during the game that said "any resemblance between these players and real NFL players living or dead is strictly a coincidence".
Buffalo's Linebacking corps now has three players starting that would not be starting for any other team in the NFL. The Bills were always looking for someone to replace Keith Ellison and now is is the veteran of the group thanks to, what looks like, two season ending injuries to his line mates. The Bills should call in a MASH unit and have them set up shop at the stadium during the game with the injuries that they have been getting. Stinky players are getting replaced by stinkier players and that is NOT good.
Getting back to the three hours of torture, I cannot imagine a game being played any more poorly by both teams. It is a shame that someone had to win and it would have been perfect justice if this 'game' ended in a tie. Roscoe Parrish played like a total dog as he pretty much, singlehandedly, gave Cleveland the game. His handling of the punt with five minutes left in the fourth quarter was classic moronica. I swear it looked like he deliberately muffed it so they would not have to play any overtime. Ugh! Now, looking at the score you may say that both defenses played great and that is truly not the case as both offenses were totally inept. For crying out loud Cleveland's quarterback threw for only 23 yards for the entire game and that is a new record low for that franchise. It was not because of the Bill's 'great' defense as it was more to do with his receivers playing fumble fingers with his passes or they were totally off their target. For a while it looked like T.O. was actually going to be part of the offense today in the first half as he made four quick catches but he was forgotten again in the second half as Captain Checkdown, Trent Edwards, was true to form in the second half. Even his check down passes were horrible. Lee Evans should write a book that is entitled "The Invisible Receiver" as he was again completely forgotten. Mr. Mind looked frozen in time again every time the camera would be focused on him. Obviously Ralph ignored the Royal Order that I signed this past week and did not exile him. Maybe he will see the light after this past game that his team is horrible and Mr. Mind must go. Anyways, it is now tee minus eleven and counting until Mr. Mind gets launched and we can only hope for a premature ejection from Western New York for this inept coach. There is absolutely NO way that he will stay on past this season.
Hey, I said in my last blog that I could see Cleveland beating the Bills and I was right again. First I called Rio for the Olympics and now Cleveland beating the Bills and I do not even have a Ouija Board. Mr. Mind has no personality and neither does his team. Teams usually reflect the personality of their coaches and this team is a perfect example of that. The coach is a zombie and so are his players. I have been a Bills fan since I was a little prince and it saddens me to see the current state of the franchise. Fans are now wearing bags over their heads in the stands and I do not blame them. Boy are the fans in Toronto in for a treat when they get their game. If Canadian Customs Agents are smart they will not let the Bills come across the border and, if they do, lets hope that U.S. Customs Agents do not let them back in.
Now I have to end my tirade as I have to find more Pepto Bismol quickly as the dose I took earlier has worn off and I am getting sick again. Time for me to get to the toilet and fast as I feel my intestines rolling. This is your King signing off.

King Dinglefritz Signs Royal Order to Send Mr. Mind into Exile
I could not stand it anymore, so much in fact that I turned the station to watch the Broncos - Cowboys football game, that I had to do something. Your King has signed a Royal Order hereby ordering that Ralph Wilson send Mr. Mind into exile. I hear Elba is nice this time of year. I have never, well maybe not for a long time, seen a performance by the Bills as sickly as the one this past Sunday versus a depleted Miami team. Watching Mr. Mind on the sideline was like watching paint dry. Hey, did anyone see him breathing? Maybe he is a zombie and that would not surprise me one bit if he was as the Bills played like zombies Sunday and teams are often a reflection of their coach. The cameras would switch to him after a bad play and he just stood there, like a stinking statue, frozen in time. AND, to top it all, he is getting three million dollars a year for this. Imhotep, the Mummy, could probably do a better job coaching the team. At least he has a real mean streak in him.
The Royal Order states that as of the moment that it arrives into Ralph Wilson's possession that Mr. Mind be immediately exiled out of Buffalo. Mr. Mind shall then issue personal refunds to all Buffalo season ticket holders. Mr. Mind is not to set foot in Western New York for a period not less than forty years. Mr. Mind is also to provide funds for medical treatment to all people that required it after being made sick by the Bills performance on Sunday. I will take advantage of that one.
Your King demands change. Your King demands a team that is worthy of the fans in Western New York - the best fans in the country! Whether Ralph Wilson abides by my Royal Order is questionable as for it to be completely valid Buffalo would have to be part of the Kingdom of Moronica which would put them under my rule. While some people would probably agree that the Bills would qualify as being highly moronic it does not make them citizens of Moronica which would make my Royal Order mandatory, and that is a bloody shame. I have also signed an addendum to the order in which Mr. Mind is not to be allowed into my Kingdom, at least I can enforce that. The penalty for a violation into Moronican territory by Mr. Mind would be that he would be duct taped to a chair and forced to watch episodes of Caveman.
Trent Edwards stinks, the offensive line stank and the defense just plain stunk. Has anyone seen the first round pick Aaron Maybin play? I think he has been on the field but he must have a personal Romulan cloaking device as nobody can see him. The run defense is like bad Swiss Cheese. The passing game is non-existent and the running game is not too good either.
Can anyone turn around this mess? There is some talent on the team but the leadership up top is missing. They need to clean house big time starting with getting a new GM who would then hire good football people. I can think of three coaches right off the bat that could possibly help but will Ralph want to pay them....probably not. It is now tee minus twelve games until Mr. Mind is officially launched. I have looked at the Bill's schedule and I cannot see them being any better than 3-13 and that is pushing it. Can they beat Cleveland and Kansas City? Probably not the way they are playing right now and those are the two remaining games that I put into their win column. I can see Cleveland beating them, I really do which would make the Bills 2-14 as I think they can still beat KC.
Let us hope that Ralph sees the wisdom of my Royal Order and heeds it's terms. The Royal Order looks after the best interests of the fans of the team. No zombie can be allowed to continue to 'run' this team. Zombies are scary and so are the Bills prospects for the remainder of this season. They players say they love Mr. Mind but they do not play like it. Mr. Mind has had one winning season in his many years of being a head coach and he has not earned his keep here. The Royal Order has been written...so let it be done.
This is your King, and an avid Bills fan, saying thats the way it is this fifth day of October, 2009. Goodnight.

Mundane Moronica from the Palace
1) Well, it looks like President Obama struck out in his first at bat for the Olympics. It would be interesting to hear why the Olympic Committee voted they way they did and why. It did not take long to eliminate the suspense as Chicago was the first one booted out. Oh well, Maybe Barack should have had his Wheaties before addressing the Committee. But hey, look at my post from September 30th and see who I picked to win it! Damn right I called it right on the nose! I will now take special requests to look into my crystal ball to see what the future has in store for you.
2) I received a mailing from Frank Muscato who is running for the Monroe County Legislature today. I was not too pleased with it as I was not happy with some of its wording. Now I may be wrong but doesn't a jury or a judge have to come back with a verdict in order for someone to be called convicted. The thing said that, in regards to the Robutrad 14, that "to date, eight have been convicted of defrauding taxpayers". Lets look at his statement and I hope I am right. First, the eight in question accepted plea deals and promised or came through with restitution. They did not have a trial as they did the right thing in accepting these deals. I would not call that convicted. Second, the plea deals were for petit larceny and not, even though technically they did, defraud the taxpayers. This mailing has another case of 'picking bits of a statement to fit the crime'. I am talking about the Gates Town Politicians that he brings up. Now it is known that the people who had work done for them are innocent pawns of this scandal. In particular in this mailing is Irene Matichyn, who is the Financial Director of the Monroe County Republican Committee, who is again cited as receiving this work. The people involved all paid for this work to be done while they were entirely unaware of the situation regarding the people doing the work. Innocent people do not need to be raked over the coals again. I am sure Ms. Matichyn feels used by the people involved and does not need another knife stuck into her back. He probably will not get my vote.
3) October has arrived but it sure seems like November. Has anyone seen the sun since the month changed? The bulk of September was one of the best weather months that I have ever seen. Now it seems like the weather will be in 'suck' mode until spring. Ugh.
4) How in hell can a fourteen year old girl share the lead in a women's professional golf event?? Will someone please tell me what she has had for breakfast, lunch and dinner while she was growing up. People have said I have one of the sweetest swings but does it get me anywhere?? NOOOOoooooooo! Maybe its time for a sex change so I can use the red tees and get that big advantage. Queen Dinglefritz??? I don't think so. I guess I will remain stinky.
5) My Queen gave me a big surprise today. She ordered pizza and wings from the shop today for Prince Spoiled Brat and his friend. I know Prince Spoiled Brat's eating habits and knew that he would probably not be home to eat it hot. Now what really bugs me, and I hate it when I am always right, is that it is now past seven o'clock and the pizza still has not been touched. Prince Spoiled Brat came and went and now the pizza is starting to freeze. I ought to give it to the dog. I am such a happy King.
That is it tonight from the Kingdom of Moronica. may the bird of paradise not poop on your freshly washed car. Good night.

King vs. Stupid Commercials
Your King loves good and funny radio and television commercials. The latest string of commercials for Rochesterhelpwanted.com are a perfect example of great commercials. The one with the Romanian baby is priceless and the one with then 'stinky' boss with the bulbous nose is not far behind. What really drives me nuts are the stupid commercials. The current commercial for a product called Hydroxytone is a prime example. It make all sorts of claims as to how good it is, so good if fact it was even included in gift bags at some stupid Hollywood function. To claim THAT as a reason to buy the product is down right moronic. If you give a group enough FREE samples of anything to put into 'gift bags' they will. I could put dog turds in a nice little box, put a nice fragrance on it and wrap it and put a cute bow on it so it looks downright pretty and they would be more than happy to put them into gift bags as long as they were free.
Commercials are meant to get people to buy their product. A stupid commercial does the exact opposite as it drives me away from their product no matter how good it is. When MCI was in business I hated their commercials so much I vowed never to get their product. Since they only exist in another form today it looks like a few other people thought the same way I did. I love the new commercial with Tiger Woods, with a big smile on his puss, as he tries to use one of the big tournament checks to buy something and the cashier says "we only take little checks". The Direct TV commercial with William Shatner saying 'again with the Klingons' was also another great commercial. Being that I already have Direct TV it did not matter but it was funny none the less.
If someone could come out with a hilarious commercial for bat vomit they could probably sell that too but stupid commercials, even if it is for a great product just do not work. We are force fed enough ads during an average TV show and they should have a certain level of intelligence about them. Right now you get 16 minutes of ads during an hour show, 40 years ago it was only 9 minutes. If you are going to give us more crappola at least make it entertaining.
So much for tonight's blog of moronica. This is King Dinglefritz wishing you a good evening.

Right now you get 16 minutes of ads during an hour show, 40 years ago it was only 9 minutes. If you are going to give us more crappola at least make it entertaining.
So much for tonight's blog of moronica. This is King Dinglefritz wishing you a good evening.
