Some tweets from “TV’s Frank”

George W. Bush Library gift shop claims to have Weapons of Mass Destruction figurines for sale but nobody can find them.

Bush on "Rehabilitation Tour." I went to rehab, don't recall the part about dishonesty & denial being the keys to recovery.

George W. Bush: "My relationship with Dick Cheney is cordial." Translation: "Even I think he's a dick."

I stumbled onto the tweets after watching Julianna Forlano’s Ironic News Report on youtube. Julianna is yet another liberal satirist, but she rises to the top of the heaps of hundreds of liberal humorists out there. I think she's ether of Mexican or Scandinavian ethnicity, so she's managed to overcome the humor impairments of those cultures.

I'm a hardcore MST-IE from way back in the early 90's, when I discovered either the second or third season of Mystery Science Theater 3000 on Comedy Central.

As a matter of fact, I recently purchased a very authentic and somewhat expensive Tom Servo replica on EBAY. It was Tom who sang a nice eulogy to Frank Zappa at the end of a 1993 episode. And Mike Nelson was right, Frank would be missed in the decades to come. If you want to see somebody with balls speaking truth to power, watch Frank's testimony at the 1985 rock ratings debate in the US Senate!

PS - Al Gore confessed to being a Mothers of Invention fan at that hearing. Frank eviscerated Tipper, but later, she played drums on one of Dweezil's songs and the Gore family became friendly to the Zappa family. Al and Tipper sent him a card when they heard Frank was sick, and it seems to have meant a lot to Frank at the time.
