    Watching Peggy steal Maureen Dowd's talking politicians schtick and then adding zombies to it is just to painful to read. And impossible to comprehend.

    By the way, when is the WSJ going to update the "picture" of Pegs that they use for her column. In that picture, she looks relatively young and feminine. Today, she looks like Chucky.

    In fact, Nixon used to refer to Henry Kissinger as "my little Jew". Ah, the days of mildly anti-semitic paternalism.

    She probably dictated this to her assistant as if it were the most abstruse statement ever uttered. Seriously, you ever see her appear on Morning Joe, every word out of her mouth drips with self-imposed profoundity.

    Thank you for changing the pic. I will pretend you did it to illustrate my point.

    Not to speak ill of the dead, but if he really wanted to impress me, he should have waxed his beard off using just MIGHTY TAPE!!, which is also known as duct tape. Or just tape, for short.


    But I see that one of his last acts was to save a diver in distress. Thumbs up, BILLY MAYS HERE!!, thumbs up.

    I'm thoroughly convinced that if Billy Mays were able to infomercial-shill the Health Care Bill it would totally sell... and we could get doobies in vending machines next to the Slurpee dispenser at your local 7-11. ...but God needed him more.

    Billy's left us, and he won't come back, no matter how many Tupac-esque posthumous informercials they churn out (including the Posthumous Informercial Churner-Outer - just four easy instalments of $19.95!). So, today I will perform a special somber dance on my Hawaii Chair, in memorium, a symbol of the topsy turvey world that somehow - just somehow - Billy guided us through with unassailable balance and grace.

    Damn.. Billy Mays could have gone out with a bang, but that commercial is seriously beneath his usual style. Sure it's rife with double-thumbs-ups and double-outstretched-hand-gestures..., but the dramatic music and extra-long SCUBA scene indicates to me that they just went with the minimal number of takes they had on film. Billy had some unfinished business! Nonetheless, some points to ponder, if I may:



    1. "Mighty tape has a sticky adhesive.." Doth mine ears deceive me?! Did he say this, how you say, tape, come with a sticky adhesive?! 3M eat your hearts out, bitches!



    2. If my microwave power cable had a mouse-ate-through-it-sized chunk missing, I probably would fear leaving the house if all those volts were running through tape. Remember what Jason Bateman's lamp did to the Hogan Family house???



    3. Even underwater, Billy Mays stays true to the pitch and wears the Oxi-clean-esque blue button-down shirt! Bonus points for loyalty.

    Billy Mays has been preserved, stuffed and fitted with animatronic prostheses. He stands at the ready to shill those products that you know you don't really need but absolutely must have. Forthcoming examples include: Billy Mays Brand Death Masks, Blood Red Insanity Bunkers, Blood Red Insanity Bunkers for Pets, Granny Knit 'n' Nit Crochet and Nit Removal Kits and Flavor Paper TASTES LIKE TREES!!!

    He'd roll over in his grave if he wasn't securely lashed down with strips of incredible, all-new and improved Mighty Tape.
