Regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog are familiar with my odd sense of humor. While searching for some more obscure films to watch and review, I came across this synopsis of the storyline for a 1974 Italian comedy. The movie in question is La Cugina (The Cousin), and the English translation of whatever the contributor actually wrote in Italian is … a bit garbled. Hilariously entertaining, but garbled nevertheless.
Here it is, word for word: Continue reading

I’ve had days like that. One time I unwittingly trained a dolphin to kill the president of the Teamsters Union. I had a hell of a time hiding Hoffa’s body. “Thanks for all the fish” my ass!
IF YOU PREFER YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CAPTIONS INSTEAD:
A) Personally, I’ve always subscribed to the “Second Dolphin” theory myself. Continue reading

Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog will once again jump in on this topic. Just as it’s repulsive when Republican presidents try to define what does or does not make someone “pro-American” it’s every bit as nauseating when a Democrat president does it. Even more pathetic is the way that senile yet corrupt Joe Biden tried to tie it in with the mass-trespassing incident which Democrat party demagogues pretend was an “insurrection.” LMAO!
Corrupt, senile, tiny-handed Joe Biden
At any rate, to use unblinking, vacant-stared career criminal Joe Biden’s own wording against him, here we go:
YOU CAN’T BE IN THE POCKET OF THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT AND PRO-AMERICAN.
YOU CAN’T BE HIDING IF UNDERBOSS HUNTER BIDEN HAS YET DIVESTED HIS STAKES IN CHINESE FIRMS AND PRO-AMERICAN.
YOU CAN’T BE HAVING YOUR CORRUPT DOJ HIDING EVIDENCE ABOUT YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS’ SCHEMES & SCAMS AND BE PRO-AMERICAN.
YOU CAN’T BE PRO-CHEAT-BY-MAIL AND PRO-AMERICAN.
YOU CAN’T BE CALLOUS ABOUT THE SUFFERING YOUR POLICIES HAVE INFLICTED ON THE WORKING CLASS AND THE POOR AND BE PRO-AMERICAN.
YOU CAN’T KEEP POLITICAL PRISONERS IN WASHINGTON DC JAILS FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF WITH NO TRIAL AND BE PRO-AMERICAN.

Joe Biden took time out from warring on the working class and the poor and collecting graft as the head of the Biden Crime Family to offer this stirring message headed into the Fourth of July holiday recently.

Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog presents some political cartoons from the talented Jim Thompson.
First up is this cartoon commemorating the way Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s underboss in the Biden Crime Family, funnels bribe money to his father by pretending to be “selling his artwork.” Uh. Yeah. Right.
Joe Biden, from a slave-owning family and who EULOGIZED KU KLUX KLANSMAN AND FELLOW DEMOCRAT SENATOR ROBERT BYRD, has been an unmitigated disaster, especially for the suffering working class and the poor.
Up next … Continue reading

“Many a true word is spoken in jest” as the old saying goes, and that becomes ever more valid by the year regarding Balladeer’s Blog’s handy list of Democrat Slogans. These slogans capture what the Democrats have REALLY become, not the glowing image that they have of themselves.
DEMOCRATS: YOU PEASANTS ARE ONLY AS FREE AS THE MOST INTOLERANT DEMOCRAT LETS YOU BE!
DEMOCRATS: NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF SIMPLE-MINDED FASCISTS IN LARGE NUMBERS!
DEMOCRATS: ALL OF OUR OPINIONS SHOULD CARRY THE FORCE OF LAW!
DEMOCRATS: WE OVERUSED THE WORD “RACIST” TO THE POINT OF MEANINGLESSNESS. NOW WE’RE DOING THE SAME WITH “WHITE SUPREMACIST.”
DEMOCRATS: WE ARE THE FASCISTS WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
DEMOCRATS: IF THE COUNTRY IS SPLIT ALMOST 50-50 THAT MEANS THAT ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE WITH US ARE BEING “DIVISIVE” … NEVER US!
DEMOCRATS: JURY VERDICTS SHOULD HAVE TO BE RATIFIED BY OUR RAGING, HOWLING MOBS OF SHALLOW, UNINFORMED AND EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE POLITICAL ROBOTS! Continue reading

With the latest attempt to do justice to Frank Herbert’s sci fi classic Dune hitting U.S. theaters here’s a look at Dune and the Alien film series as analogies for 21st Century America.
Balladeer’s Blog remains the only site on the web that equally criticizes both Democrats and Republicans, depending on which party has been committing greater offenses at the moment.
Reader reaction to my blog post which depicted America and our corrupt political parties as part of the Alien franchise (HERE) was impressive so here is a tongue in cheek look at the U.S. as part of the Dune franchise.
First, my traditional opening to such posts:
“We’re a world of 7 billion people, 10 billion blogs and 20 billion political poses.”
THE FREMEN – These are American VOTERS who heroically endure the harsh, ugly conditions that the hopelessly corrupt and outdated Houses have imposed on the nation.
The bizarre throwback to a feudal culture resulting from the destructive, self-serving policies of those two Houses has become more and more apparent with each passing year. The gap between the haves and have-nots was never clearer than in the past nine months.
Still the Fremen soldier on, trying to eke out a living and preserve what few of their liberties remain to them while striking back at their callous and uncaring oppressors whenever they can. The only hope for the future rests with the Fremen/ Voters, certainly not the would-be aristocrats of the venal Houses. Continue reading

KUNG FAUX (2003) – Created and crafted by Mic Neumann, this half-hour comedy series was basically a hip hop version of old movies and television shows that overdubbed non-comedies with comedic dialogue, music and sound effects. In Kung Faux‘s case it featured re-edited and highly stylized martial arts films from the 1970s overdubbed with contemporary music and a hip hop comedic sensibility.
Though Kung Faux brands this treatment as “dubtitling” as a nod to dubbed and subtitled dialogue, the approach debuted on vintage television shows like Fractured Flickers (1963), in which celebrities would dub improvised comedic dialogue over old silent movies.
The theatrical release What’s Up, Tiger Lily? (1966), Woody Allen’s overdubbing of a Japanese spy movie to make it a battle over an egg salad recipe, is still the best known of these ventures. Not even serials were exempt from such treatment, with my favorite example being Firesign Theater’s production Hot Shorts (1984) featuring items like Sperm Bank Bandits in which the comedy team inserted comical dialogue over old serials like Canadian Mounties vs Atomic Invaders.
