It is my sad duty to announce that the world has grown too insane for
it to make any sense to continue with any further kook awards, with
one exception by executive decree to be detailed shortly. This is the
end, of the awards and in the not too distant future of me, you, and
everyone else reading this. Extinction is likely almost upon us.
For that reason, by vote wrangler decree the following award is issued
for the month of April, 2020:
Bobo
And the winner is: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
This kook has spent the past four years unloading a proverbial Gatling
gun into its own feet. First it elected Donald Trump (himself a Bobo
winner, in January 2017) President. Then it completely fucked up its
international relations, weakened and undermined NATO thus betraying
the other members of the alliance, slashed necessary (but insufficient)
climate regulations, palled around with Putin and other dictators, and
undermined the project of internationalism itself, not to mention the
project to spread liberal democracy throughout the world.
But in the past two months the United States has committed three totally
unforgivable acts of extreme kookdom, which have resulted in tens of
thousands of deaths (remember, just ONE suffices for Bobo eligibility).
1: The cack-handed assassination of General Soleimani, which nearly
launched World War III and very well could have.
2: Mishandling the coronavirus. The botched response to that, including
two months of delays in testing and countermeasures, are projected to
cost literally HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF LIVES and have likely made the
situation worse also in other countries, particularly its neighbors
Mexico and Canada. This will make it the largest single disaster in
American history other than World War II and the Civil War, notably
*exceeding* American casualties in World War I.
3: Cheating Bernie Sanders out of the nomination a second time. Seriously.
SANDERS WAS OUR ONLY HOPE! Not just America's but the world's! The
election is now down to which of two rapists the electorate prefers!
Turnout will be rock bottom even without the fucking virus, and with it
it will be downright ABYSMAL. And the logic will be "why vote for Rapist
Lite when I can vote for the full-strength version!" This will likely
lead to four more years of Trump, and no matter WHO wins will lead to a
senile old coot who will instantly keel over dead if so much as touched
by a single SARS-CoV-2 particle being the fucking "leader of the free
world". Right when the climate crisis is reaching the critical years,
and with the COVID-19 crisis no doubt still underway too.
The Sanders withdrawal notice is not a withdrawal notice. It is a suicide
note. The republic, now with a bloody stump where its left foot used to
be, just aimed that Gatling gun a little higher and plugged itself right
between the eyes. Four more years of Trump? Ha! He'll declare himself
president for life well before then, but it won't matter anyway because
there won't be anything left to be president OF by 2024. And we'll be
damn lucky if the resulting loose nukes don't fry us before climate change
does. If that even counts as "lucky".
Honorable Mention: THE UNITED KINGDOM!
Between Bojo and Brexit you've really screwed the pooch. You also kind of
set the template for America's spectacular, and planet-dooming, act of
self-immolation. But we can't really have two Bobo winners whose kookery
was so spectacularly unequal, so you'll have to settle for this instead.
George Pickett Memorial Trophy
And the winner is: THE UNITED KINGDOM!
See above for why. I can't think of a better example of a Pickett's
Charge than Brexit, save for the actual original Pickett's Charge
itself.
Kook of the Month:
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
Kooki Information Minister:
Donald J. Trump is now PRESIDENT FOR LIFE of this Kook Office!
Fixed and unchangeable as the Pyramids! Why? Do you even need to ask?
Start with his Politifact file. And then die in the flames of a wrecked
world LONG before you come to the end of it, it's that long.
Looney Maroon:
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! It doesn't get much loonier than
making an electorate of 350 million pick which rapist they hate the
least. Except of course for the insane coronavirus response of the US.
Coward of the Month:
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! Too yellow-bellied to engage in true
leadership on the world stage anymore.
Clueless Newbie of the Month:
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! Coronavirus response, natch.
Balsa Gavel:
DONALD TRUMP! The sad thing is, since his yes-men control the DOJ and
he's stacked the courts, he gets away with his kooky legal practice.
"Perfect phone call", my ass!
Victor von Frankenstein "Weird Science" Award:
DONALD TRUMP! Chloroquine, natch.
Loon Star Award:
DONALD TRUMP! Retroactive to the publication date on "The Art of the Deal".
Donald J. Trump Misogyny Award:
DONALD TRUMP! The rapist in chief.
Creepy Candy Coating Award:
JOE BIDEN! The challenger for the title of rapist in chief.
Joseph Bartlo "Pathetic Anal Pineapple" Award:
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! Reduced from the "shining city on a hill" to
this in less than four years by its own cretin sub-population somehow
deciding the last presidential election.
Bob Allisat Memorial Hook, Line & Sinker:
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY! For falling for Trump hook, line, and sinker in 2016.
Palmjob Paddle:
DONALD TRUMP! I've never seen a sitting *president* get SPNAKed so much in
all my puff. By us here in AUK; by Maxine Waters, AOC, Nancy Pelosi, Obama,
and many other prominent Democrats; by Jim Acosta and half the rest of the
Fourth Estate in the US; and even by not a few of his own assorted hires
and appointees, for example the Ukraine whistleblower. Oh, and James Comey,
Bob Mueller, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, several dozen federal judges ... the list
goes on.
Tony Sidaway Drama Queen Award:
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! It's going to have such a temper tantrum none
of us are likely to survive it!
George Armstrong Custer "Kicked @$$" Award:
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY! They have "won" an endless string of Pyrrhic
victories and are now doomed, along with EVERYONE ELSE. The ones whose
cack-handed red-state governments are mishandling COVID-19 the worst and
who end up dying as a result will be the lucky ones. They won't live to
see mass starvation, experience the manifold wondrous joys of radiation
burns, or be swept away by the collapse of the ice sheets.
Special Ops Cody Memorial Purple Heart:
DONALD TRUMP! His attempts to prevent a stock market crash last month
ended up crashing the stock market last month.

DONALD TRUMP!

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

THE EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY OF AMERICA! For voting /en masse/ for the single
person who most strongly resembles the Bible's description of the
Antichrist out of ANYONE BORN IN LIVING MEMORY. INCLUDING Hitler.
Bolo Bullis Foam Duck:
DONALD TRUMP!
Order of the Holey Sockpuppet:
GERGLES!
Kenny McCormick Memorial Medal:
DONALD TRUMP! Not by losing accounts, exactly -- but by keeping them. See,
if he weren't President he'd have been kicked off Twitter about three
million times by now for hate speech, violent threats, and other TOS
violations. So he's committed far more than enough TOS-worthy acts to be
eligible for the McCormick, and evaded the actual account losses on a
technicality. As FNVW I'm giving him the award anyway by executive fiat,
because I fucking can and there's nothing any of you kooks can do about
it but cry. So there!
Barbara Woodhouse Memorial Dog-Whistle Award:
BARACK OBAMA, TRAINER OF DONALD TRUMP! Congratulations, Obama, you've
been controlling Trump for four years now as he feels utterly compelled
to undo every single thing you did for the Republic, however important or
however picayune.
Edmond Wollmann Memorial Rubber Turkey:
DONALD TRUMP! Christmas tweetstorms. Easter tweetstorms. (Expect another
of those in a matter of days.)
Fr00tcake and Bag of Coal:
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
Kook of the Year:
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
Rookie Kook of the Year:
THE UNITED KINGDOM!
Coward of the Year:
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
Bardley Annual "Whining Baby New Year" Award:
DONALD TRUMP! I've never seen anyone more childish holding public office
before.
The Richbull.com Memorial Award for Kookshite of the Year:
WHITEHOUSE.GOV! Ever since Trump Trumpified it, including deleting every
reference to climate change and filling it with coronavirus disinformation.
Jayne Kulikauskas "Chump of the Summer" Pin:
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY! For sticking with Trump through thick and thin, until
they destroyed themselves and the planet they lived on.
Richard M Nixon Memorial "Pathological Liar" Award:
DONALD TRUMP!
Emmett Gulley Obsesso Award:
DONALD TRUMP! So owned by Obama. So owned.
Village Pump Award:
GERGLES!
Pierre Salinger Memorial Hook, Line & Sinker:
BARACK OBAMA!
Diamond Hammer of Thor:
NADEGDA! She's just as deserving of one as kensi is and I thought she
should have one before the end.
Gene Spafford "Usenet Samaritan" Award:
NADEGDA AND KENSI! (Jointly)
At least, they tried. Oh, did they try.
Jim Nitchals Memorial "Internet Samaritan" Award:
POLITIFACT and EVERY OTHER SITE THAT HAS TIRELESSLY DEBUNKED TRUMP LIES FOR
THREE LONG YEARS to no freaking avail.
Also, all AUK Offices are now hereby held by Donald Trump, save
Ministry of Circle Jerks. That office now belongs to Trump AND
his entire Cabinet. Forever.
And now if you'll excuse me I have to go take Fluffy to the vet to be
euthanized. It's fitting that he and the kook awards should die together,
and I certainly can't in good conscience let him live to suffer what we are
all about to suffer now that the end times are upon us due to America's
incredible, cack-handed stupidity.
To Nadegda and kensi: It's been an honor serving with you.
To everyone else: Go fuck yourselves, you braindead morons. This is all
partly your fault. Most of you either supported Trump or opposed Sanders,
and now we're all doomed. Happy now, you festering gobs of concentrated
essence of stupidity?!
I'd say "farewell" now, but none of us will get to have THAT experience,
now, will we? So I'll just say "everyone grab a gun, and make sure to save
the last bullet for yourself" instead.
The End.
