This March is about to set a record. According to the U.S. Weather Service there has been no measurable snow this month. Usually March is capable of producing some of this areas worst storms. Dare I bring up the Superstorm of 1993 and the Great Blizzard of 1999 but this month has been a lamb. The record lowest amount of snow in the month of March is nine tenths of an inch and unless there is some tomorrow this March will set a record.
What does that mean??? GOLF sooner than ever this spring. They say that by the end of this week we may hit 70 degrees and the urge to start whacking that ball around is driving me nuts. If the local par three course is open next weekend I will be there on Saturday and if the guys are playing, and the weather continues to cooperate, maybe a trip to Geneseo will be in the offing next Sunday. Your King is looking forward to a better year of golf than he had last year as I pretty much sucked eggs on the course. Other than a few flashes of my old self I pretty much hacked my way around the courses last year. Nothing is more frustrating than knowing what you have done in the past and then playing like a chump. I can hit the ball like a pro but my accuracy was bad and my short game touch was abysmal. This is a new year with new hopes so who knows, maybe my old self will reappear...but I doubt that knowing my luck as that black cloud continues to hover over my head. Hopefully that black cloud will be gone before the end of spring. I can only hope.
Have a happy from the King of Moronica.

Crown Prince Balmski
Your King's brother, Crown Prince Blamski, endured, I mean enjoyed his fiftieth birthday party with the Royal Family last night at Fratelli's Restaurant. With some of the stories from his youth that he regaled us with it is amazing that he made it to fifty. He is a big guy with a big heart and I wish him many more.
King on Hockey
Your beloved King has been a hockey fan for as long as he can remember. The Buffalo Sabres have always been my favorite team so I am happy to see them back in the playoffs again after a two year sabbatical. But, I have never been a big fan of Sabre coach Mindy Ruff from day one. His system that he has his team play seems to stifle the offensive imagination of his players. All they seem to do is to put the puck in the corner and then skate round and round with it in the corner. I guess they call that cycling the puck...I call it boring.
The Sabres do have an interesting collection of players, some I enjoy watching and others that drive me nuts. Patrick Kaleta is one player that I enjoy watching as he is a pest with speed and it seems really good hands when he has the puck. He reminds me of Ken Linesman when he was a star in the league. Ken was nicknamed 'The Rat' and I can see this nickname being placed on Kaleta as he loves to get under the skin of other players and boy can he deliver a good clean hit. Tyler Myers is another player to watch. Just wait until he fills out and gets stronger. He will eventually be the Sabres highest paid player and he will deserve it. Ryan Miller, well I do not have enough accolades for him.
Now we have some of the other players that seem to drive me nuts. Tomas Vanish...I mean Vanek comes to mind. He is paid like a fifty goal scorer but he will be lucky to net 25 this year. Is it Mindy Ruff's system or what. He signed a huge front loaded contract a couple of years ago and actually, at the time, looked like he was going to earn it but he has regressed significantly since then. Tiny Tim Connolly is one of the Sabres best penalty killers...too bad he plays on the power play. He has successfully killed off more Sabre power plays than the opposition. Somehow this guy leads the team in scoring, how I will never know.
Another thing that drives me nuts about Mindy Ruff is his use of his goalies. I can understand riding Ryan Miller until he drops but I feel for poor Patrick Lalime. He is a good goaltender who sits and rots on the Sabre bench. He gets to play once every two weeks or so and then people wonder why he is not sharp. He had a conditioning assignment for a weekend in the AHL a while back and played like the Lalime of old after it. It is amazing how being able to play a little bit can get your skills sharpened up again. Then Mindy sat him on the bench and again he rotted. I like Lalime but he needs to play a bit more. Pretty soon Miller's arms are going to fall off from being overworked. It is happening now in Vancouver to Roberto Luongo and I pray it won't happen to Ryan. I also congratulate Lalime on getting his 200th victory last night against Tampa. He is a nice guy and he deserves whatever accolades he can get. He is great in the locker room, knows what his role is and he does not complain as he is the ultimate trooper. He deserves a little more playing time.
The other players on the Sabres are rather ordinary. They do their jobs and this season, for the most part, they have done it well unless, of course, they play Ottawa but that is another story.
I also wish a get well to Mike Robitaille as he recovers from his ailment and hopefully a quick return to the television.
Your King also wants to congratulate the Rochester Institute of Technology in their making the Frozen Four in their first appearance in the NCAA division 1 hockey playoffs. They upset Denver and crushed New Hampshire in their first two games and have done this area proud. Lets root them on and hope they can come back with the trophy. Geez, it was not to long ago they were playing the likes of Geneseo State and Hobart and now look where they are. Go get them Tigers!!!
PS: I do know that the Sabres coach's name is Lindy but I prefer Mindy.

Assault on the King
It has been commented that I am a hater of the Constitution, should move to Europe and am stupid in regards to the comments that I made about an extremist group. Well, this boy here is not a Constitution hater as it gives me, and the guy that slammed me, the right to say whatever is on my mind. I use that right as does Mr. Pacifica, whoever he is, because there are things that need to be addressed. He may find what I write stupid and that is his right and if he feels like commenting some more I say go ahead, as long as it is not obscene.
He claims that what I wrote a couple of blogs ago is stupid. Well lets bring up some points that I stressed and see.
1) I am against extremism. That must be stupid.
2) I am against violence of any kind. THAT must be stupid.
3) I am against the use of racial epithets. That must be stupid.
4) I am against the use of anti gay slurs. That must be stupid.
5) I am for giving the new Health Care bill a chance. That could be stupid.
6) I am for Democrats and Republicans working together to better America. That must be stupid.
7) I am against the continued and growing polarization of this country. That must be stupid.
8) I am against people espousing violence in their writings. That must be stupid.
9) I am for continued and deeper education in history for our young people so that lessons learned from the past will not be repeated. That must be stupid.
10) I am against the cowards that call and leave anonymous messages of hatred and threats of violence against our elected officials. That must be stupid.
11) I am against the criminal element that extremism tends to bring out. That must be stupid.
Well, after reviewing the above and being called stupid for it I guess I am stupid for my stances listed above. It is my right to be 'stupid'. It is my right to say that I do not believe in what certain groups diatribe about. I do not care for the Tea Party people. I despise the Ku Klux Klan and the hatred they represent. I do not like any group that uses violence to promote their ideas. I have the right to say this as this is America. I love our Constitution. We have the best country in the world and this country gives me the right to say what I want to say, whether people think what I say is stupid or not. This Mr. Pacifica has no postings on his blog. Why doesn't he write? Maybe he is afraid that I may agree with some of the things that he believes in and thereby not be as stupid in his eyes as he claims I am? Well then again, maybe he does not know how to write but that is being mean on my part. I challenge you Mr. Pacifica to start letting us all know what you believe in instead of just making comments about people being stupid just because they are not in line with your way of thinking. As King of Moronica I am issuing a Royal Order for you to let us know what your stance on things is and why the points that I have made above are stupid. I challenge you to dig down and make an effort to put your thoughts down and let us see what you believe is the smart way to go about life in America instead of having a blank blog site. I challenge you. Now, let us see if you are up to the challenge and are not afraid of what other people may think of your thoughts. I look forward to your muses.
Have a Nice day. And I truly mean that.

Your King Finally Contacts Santa
When last I spoke with Santa he was going to Washington D.C. to try to see President Obama about obtaining stimulus funds to keep his workshop fully employed. Well, I finally got a chance to speak with him and the poor guy went through one hell of an ordeal. Please refer back to the news article excerpt I posted on 9/15/09 for additional information in regards to this ordeal. The funny thing is that I had to call him on his cell phone as he is not at his workshop. He is home but under medical care at this time but should be back to work soon, we hope. Here is that conversation.
"Hello?"
"Hi Santa this is your friend Dinglefritz, I have had a hell of a time trying to get a hold of you but at last I finally have."
"Well hi there Dingle! Its good to hear a friendly voice again. My wife finally gave me my cell phone back after the Doctor said it was okay."
"Doctor? I assume this has something to do with your visit to Washington to see President Obama and what happened. It did make all of the newspapers."
"Oh, I will tell you Dingle that I never want to go through that again. Some people do not respect their elders. It was the ordeal from hell"
"The paper said that the Secret Service agents had to taser you five times.."
"They said only five times???? I was just sitting there waiting and they zapped me at least fifteen times, maybe more as I may have briefly passed out. When I regained my senses there were at least ten goons on top of me beating the ever living crap out of me. Now look at me Dingle, I am old and fat, I was no threat to anybody. All I wanted to do was to speak with the President."
"Didn't you try to make an appointment?"
"Yes but they laughed at me and hung up when I told them who I was and what I wanted to see him about."
"They also said that they took you to Bellevue Hospital for observation and treatment."
"They said that, huh? Well, If I went to Bellevue I am the Easter Bunny. I went to some place, I do not know where as I was blindfolded, and spent fifteen days undergoing the worst imaginable torture.'
"Why did you not use your famed abilities to get away?"
"I was under constant guard and chained to the wall. And the few times they unchained me they took me to this room where they put me on some kind of see-saw type board and dunked me repeatedly in water and they then kept asking me questions about some guy named Bin Laden when I surfaced. I kept telling them who I was but they kept on dunking me. Then they took me to another room where they attached electrodes to places that I cannot imagine anyone would ever attach electrodes to. Oh Dingle, It is an experience I would not wish on the Miser Brothers."
"But you finally did get away."
"On the fifteenth day they finally relaxed their guard and left me unchained and I was able to get out. I then spent the next three months at a rest home in France recovering from my ordeal and then the Doctors there allowed me to come home for further rest and treatment. Only now has my personal Doctor lightened the rules and allowed me to have my cell phone back and hopefully by the end of April I can start spending some time at the workshop, only an hour or so at a time, but I have Hermy running it in my absence and he does a good job as he runs it when I take my yearly trip to the Bahamas after I make my worldwide delivery on Christmas. I am still a nervous wreck but I am getting better."
"I just cannot believe what happened to you Santa could happen here in the USA. How can they even think that you may have been associated with Bin Laden?"
"I do not know but there are people in the US Government that will not be getting any visits from me on Christmas anymore. They are on my permanent bad list. Well, Dingle, the wife just walked in the room and she is letting me know it is time for me to get some more rest. And she can be more of a pain than the Doctor is. I have to go now and please give me a call later this summer when I should be somewhat back to normal. Jessica, Jessica, at least let me say.....click"
Well, though I did not have a chance to say goodbye, it was good hearing his voice again. Hopefully by December he will again be that jolly old man that we have come to know and love. At least we have all learned a valuable lesson, never try to see the President without an appointment.
This is your King wishing you a pleasant day from the Kingdom of Moronica.
"Hello?"

A Worriesome Comparison
I am going to be serious for a moment about a trend that disturbs me greatly. I will preface this by saying that those that do not learn from history are bound to repeat it and it is hard to believe that this kind of history is re-blossoming here in the USA. I am talking about a splinter group of the 'Tea Party' movement, and only this splinter group and members thereof, that seems to be infesting our great country right now. I hate to say this but I have to compare these people and movement to the Nazi S.A.(S.A.) that arose during the 1930s in Germany.
Lets do the comparison:
The S.A. were an ultra right wing group and the Tea Party extremist splinter group is an ultra right wing group.
As a student of WWII I remember what is called 'The Night of the Broken Glass'. What some members of this group have been espousing is the throwing of bricks through the front glass windows of Congressman's offices. While this has, at this time, come to nowhere near the extent of what happened during this night when the S.A. went bananas and broke thousands of windows of stores that were owned by the Jewish merchants you can feel the extremism of this group growing. I have to compare that lunatic blogger Mr. Vanderboegh (spelling?), who is advocating this type of brick throwing violence, to the leaders of the S.A. Violence of any type begets more and deeper violence. This can be seen by people leaving messages for Congressman to the effect that snipers will be on the lookout for them and their relatives. These message leavers are very sick in the head. Someone actually left an envelope of white powder in an office but it was later deemed not to be harmful but the threat there is implied.
Extremist members of the Tea Party group have been hurling racial and anti gay epithets at our representatives in Congress outside of the Capitol Building and the S.A. were good at doing the same thing towards the Jewish people. It is a shame that people in this country still resort to such barbaric crap. A lot of Republicans have come out against this type of garbage and more should become vocal and denounce it.
Republicans do not want to come out and speak against this group as a whole who will solidly vote for them but Tea Party splinter group activities, I am sure, worry a great number of them. The S.A. also worried Hitler and he did something about it. Hitler had the leadership of the S.A. wiped out. Ernst Roehm was shot, well actually he was given a gun and it was recommended to him that he use it on himself. The Nazi S.S. took care of the rest of them. The leaderless S.A. was then absorbed into the army.
I want it to be made perfectly clear that I am not saying that Republicans are comparable to the Nazis, they are just the minority party at this time doing to the Democrats what the Democrats did to them when they were in power. It is this splinter group of the Tea Party that I bring these comparisons against. The great big difference here is that the Nazi leadership was behind the S.A. until they became a problem near the end of the Thirties and were dealt with.
The reason for all this petty violence, epithets and drama?: The new Health Care (HC) bill.
The Democrats are only trying to do what they believe to be the best thing for our country, and it will take time to see how the HC bill works out. Back in the 1930s the Republicans railed against the New Deal and were vowing to have it repealed, just like the present HC bill, but when Eisenhower was elected nothing became of this as the New Deal gradually won favor. Maybe it will happen with this bill too but only time will tell. The HC bill is not perfect, far from it, but it is a start and instead of pissing and moaning and vowing its repeal maybe the GOP, along with the Democrats, should start working on ways to make it better. But we all know that will not happen. I am a big proponent of bipartisan efforts to run this country but, unfortunately, that is years away when hopefully more reasonable people will be in government. The funny thing is that Republican ex-senator William Frist has gone on record saying that he would have voted FOR this bill. I do find it strange that not a single Republican shared his view, well at least not in public. I will always wonder what the results of a secret ballot would have been.
The Tea Party extremist splinter group is a small group of nutcases at this time, but then again so was the S.A. in the early thirties, and I hope and believe that membership in this group will not grow as Americans are now seeing what kind of people are members of this band of idiots. I have faith in the population of this country to not allow this group to become another modern day S.A. History is there to be studied and at this time it should be to prevent hooliganism from running rampant in our streets as it was in Thirties Germany. I know we are better than this. We need to work together and extremists of any group will not allow this to happen.
Well that is enough for now. This blog has upset your King's digestion so now I have to take some Pepto Bismol but I had to get this off my chest as hatred, stupidity and violence need to be eliminated from our society.

Moronically Interesting Stuff
1) While reading today's paper I found an article where New York's favorite girlfriend abuser, who was booted out of the NY State senate and rightfully so, is now running again to regain his seat. Hiram Monserrat, who with is senate buddy Espada from the Bronx put the New York state government in turmoil last summer, is running for his old seat on the 'Yes We Can' party line. Yes we can what?? Yes we can make our state government a bigger joke than it already is? This guy should just fade off into the sunset and be thanking his lucky stars that he is not in jail.
2) I am very upset with President Obama. I am a huge space exploration fanatic, and I am not talking about the space between my ears, and I am disgusted that he cancelled the latest effort to return to the moon. One thing I did like about George Bush was that he seemed to be a big space exploration fan too. The technological spin offs that have resulted from man's effort to explore space far outweigh the money that has been spent on it. Too much of our hard earned money is going towards crap. Space exploration is not crap.
3) Your King is a student of World War II and I just have to do this. I am making former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain an honorary member of the Moronica Hall of Fame. Adolph Hitler made a complete fool of him at Munich when he signed that worthless piece of paper that Mr. Chamberlain came off the plane waving when he returned home. Hitler said to Goering, after fat old Herman remarked to him about the signing, that he had no intention of honoring that agreement period. Hitler played Chamberlain like a bass fiddle so I give Neville the honor of enshrinement into the MHOF. If the allies showed some resolve while the German Army was still relatively weak who knows what might have happened. Maybe a lot more people would have survived the decade of the forties.
4) I am also honorarily enshrining Jar Jar Binks of Naboo into my MHOF. Speaking of bass fiddles Chancellor Palpatine sure played Jar Jar for one when he planted the idea of proposing to the Galactic Senate that they should give the Chancellor supreme emergency powers during the rebellion. That led to the formation of the empire and a lot of people getting offed. Thanks Jar Jar for that mighty bit of Moronica.
5) Your King has a weakness this time of year for those Cadbury Creme Easter Eggs that they put out for us to enjoy. Now last year at Wegmans they cost $1.79 for a package of four. This year they cost $2.19 for the same package. Is this some kind of joke? Has inflation only hit Cadbury Eggs? The cost of living has remained relatively flat during the duration of this recession but not when it comes to these Cadbury Eggs. Shame on Wegmans for this huge price increase that they have foisted upon us during this period of hard times. Tasty Cadbury Eggs usually put a smile on your King's puss but not this year. I have not bought one yet from Wegmans and will not until they bring the price back down. Your King could sure use a smile maker during this period of my reign but I guess it will not be coming from Cadbury.
Well, that is enough Moronica for today. This is your King wishing you a pleasant day.
2) I am very upset with President Obama. I am a huge space exploration fanatic, and I am not talking about the space between my ears, and I am disgusted that he cancelled the latest effort to return to the moon. One thing I did like about George Bush was that he seemed to be a big space exploration fan too. The technological spin offs that have resulted from man's effort to explore space far outweigh the money that has been spent on it. Too much of our hard earned money is going towards crap. Space exploration is not crap.

Ticklefests in Washington!!
It seems that our local Congressman, Eric Massa, has left the building. He was accused of being the head tickle master at a staff function back in January by some of his male staff members. That is strange considering his military background and the fact the he is married, though nowadays that may have little meaning. If I was in Washington I certainly would be trying to work on legislation instead of trying to tickle the guys. He is a strange one. Now your King is not against tickle fests, as long as I am the only male participating, and you can bet the house that I will not be in a guys only tickle fest any time soon. Ugh.
I would have loved to have seen the results of the House Ethics Committee probe but that is now moot as, like Sir Robin from Monty Python's Holy Grail, Eric bravely turned his tail and fled. Now, he also brings up that he has had a relapse of his illness and for that I wish him the best and hope he beats it again and for that reason alone I will not make him a new member of my Moronica Hall of Fame, as much as he really does deserve an entry into it.
Eric also claims that the Democratic hierarchy forced him out by bringing all of this garbage out into the open because of his stance on health care reform. I find this hard to believe because a democratic vote is a democratic vote and now, with the forthcoming special election his seat will most certainly revert back into republican hands. Why would the Democrat bigwigs want that?? He also claims that Emanuel Rahm(I am sure I butchered this name) is the devil's spawn and he may be but that does not matter at this time.
Eric's resignation has left us without representation. I thought he was a fighter but I guess he is a chicken. We can now all sing "When danger reared its ugly head Eric bravely turned his tail and fled..brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Eric'.
I guess I have said enough tonight. My fingers need to be brought back slowly into blogging form. Heaven forbid I get finger tendinitis just when things are getting interesting in your King's life, NY State Government and the National scene. I just cannot wait to write about our lame duck governor and his misadventures. Good night from Moronica.

Your King Returns but Abdication is Near!
In the near future your King will be forced to set up his monarchy in exile. Moronica is now up for sale. It seems my Queen has decided that being the Queen of Moronica was not good enough for her and decided to start seeing someone else, who I will call 'the Burger King'. It is a little frustrating but I say good bye and good riddance. Your King is happily looking forward to setting up a new government in exile free of the Queen and her killer omelets. I would like to say more but the situation dictates at this time that I not. BUT, stay tuned for future updates because as soon as my new government is set up the fun begins. The truth will set me free!
Your King now recommends a boycott of all Burger Kings in Monroe County in protest of the situation I am in right now. Your King has learned a valuable and costly lesson.... One that will probably not be repeated unless I am a complete moron.
Moronica will not fall. Moronica will continue to reign supreme...Just look at Eric Massa for example. Moronica is forever. Your King will continue to rule Moronica from wherever I am forced to be. Please continue to support your King in this transition period. Be patient my friends and I will soon return to form and put a smile on all of your pusses as I rant and rave about morons throughout the world and believe me there is plenty of material that is available at this time (Thank you David Paterson!). Until I write again...Stay thirsty my friends!! Thirsty for my muses!
Moronica Uber Alles!!!
