WB, thank you for giving us the forum/artwork!
Outstanding. This is one of your best Bill.
cup of joe biden
Two-toned president, one cup.
He got some instructions from on high to bow out of the 2016 POTUS race a few weeks ago, but in that same speech said we need to do another "moon shot" to cure cancer.
Hey -1.
You suck Donkeys.
Have a very nice Holiday season everyone.

I do not think we are jaded much do you?
Brilliant!!
top of the morning WBVII, Zealots one & all, civilized revolutionaries the world over and curious interlopers peeking into our domain.
as i drain the last drop from my first morning cup, i raise a toast down DC-ways. cheers to all you gossipy nancy-boys gathered to hissy-snip, cautiously sip steam from your triple soy latte and scheme against all that is decent and legitimately american. as if we didn't need any more evidence in affirmation..but when all of tptb remain transfixed and obsessed with the status of a middle-aged man's hair, well, gentlemen, that all but certifies the orientation of DC-based power; and it's decidedly homo.
hold your heads high amorica, the woman of the year is a deranged perv and your power-brokers behave as if they're post-menopausal gossips giggling up a storm at the beauty salon. and they say america is in decline. bosh! any nation that can recycle a hackneyed trope about a supposed toupee endlessly and at every instance witlessly is asserting its permanence and unassailable endurance. amorica is here to stay! and we've got a million trump-toupee jokes to prove it.
anyway, as i tip back my cup and close the toast with an oath, i can't help but say that today's WBVIIing reminds me of that time i was in a barber-shop quartet in skokie, illinois...

which reminds me of janus' initial success in the world of business...i'm sure many reading are wondering by what means janus secured his first billion. i won't keep the secret from you any longer: consulting. what else? when it's from an early age clear that you have everyone else's problems figured out, you go into consulting and make billions at it.
and that is exactly what i did.
in fact, the term "smashing success" was coined in reference to my fledgling enterprise by Fortune Magazine; and that is because no client ever escaped my office without having his ego smashed and psyche traumatized, splintered and reconfigured into several 'alters'. i considered it my job to be a 'force multiplier' of sorts. you bring me one senior vice president lacking motivation and initiative, and i return seven different individuals, each capable of smashing and traumatizing all that cross his path; blazing a boulevard to glory and success at all costs. from one single sr. VP your pussified palo-alto start-up will from janus consulting LLP get an entire board of directors who are sociopathic, merciless and perfectly efficient -- and all for a single SVP's salary.
{Warning: janus consulting LLP is not responsible for acts of cannibalism nor zombie-like behavior on behalf of its clients.}
ahhh, the good ole days. in fact, it was exactly 21 years ago today that i came up with my billion dollar venture. you never forget a stroke of genius.
it came to me when janus was disposed to musings befitting this season which is once again upon us. resetting the calendar is an event pregnant with reflection, self-scrutiny and sundry resolutions. while mired in this frame of mind it suddenly dawned on me, "janus" thought i, "you're so adept at identifying your own short-comings, and seeing how no personal defect ever escapes your attention, nor do you ever fail to amend and auto-correct any of your almost non-existent flaws...why not translate this amazing aptitude into a career of helping, improvement and billions in tax-free revenue?"
who can argue with such a proposal? not janus, that's for certain.
besides, i was by then bored with the few and all-but negligible short-commings that in me remained stubbornly fixed. sure, just like perfect people everywhere, i suffered from 'obsessive-humility-disorder' (OHD). janus was forced to in this respect self-diagnose because, year-after-year, this was the issue that wouldn't go away. and try though i may, i couldn't shake what was for some an unbearable compulsion deep within to out-humble any with whom i came into commerce. really, i must confess that janus did have a tendency to take the humility thing WAY too far.
once, mother theresa said to janus, "janus, though you've already been double-sainted by both rome and the orthodox church, it may help if you permit yourself an occasional res-bit from contrition, non-stop piety and blameless penitence...please st. janus, we at the orphan convent for wayward ragamuffins beg of you -- you're making us all look like pikers & frauds. lay off the humility on occasion, will ya?"
and so, on the ninth of december every year, i take a 2 minute break from humility...for the sake of the children -- especially the brown, doe-eyed ragamuffins & orphans.
that's the kind of shit that'll get you double-sainted if you're not careful, btw.
another of my problems was/is relentless positivity. some see a grey cloud, others a silver lining...but janus, janus sees a golden shower about to rain down on humanity.
shit, janus pushes positivity into new and unimagined dimensions. some see lemons and despair...they're all like, "awww, damn, lemons again! what will i ever do with these tart things that look like elf-turds?" the next guy's all like, "awesome, i'll hire a mexican to squeeze this thing and stir in some asugar!" but janus, no, janus thinks expansively and charitably...surveying the lemon and pondering its potential to heal a woe-begotten and suffering swath of humanity, janus is all like, "how can i take this most cursed among the citrus clan and turn it into a benefit for all of man?" after a very brief pondering i came up with "lemon-balm" (TM). next time your child or loved one suffers a paper-cut or any superficial abrasion, just apply a generous daub of "lemon-balm" to the afflicted area...it's a highly concentrated lemon-juice extract that will invest in all my patients a mortal dread of paper-cuts and superficial abrasions. your child or loved one will think twice before they ever come whining to you with some bull-shit boo-boo...money back guarantee!
i'm also far too open-minded. this is yet another seemingly permanent defect. why, just the other day, my cat courageously admits that he thinks he's a dog tragically trapped in the body of a cat. diane sawyer came to for an interview...it was a media zoo around here until i decided to solve the problem. what does janus do? he plows a sizeable chunk of his consulting profits into the world's first pet-change clinic...that's it, no big deal or anything, just standard-issue heroics -- the janus hallmark. is your dog or cat species-confused? bring it to janus and let the healing begin.
but enough about me...all this janus-talk threatens to impugn the matchless humility that defines janusness.
it's time i get down to brass-tacks...the kind of thinking that catapulted janus consulting LLC into the rarefied world of executive training and launched the "smashing success" that revolutionized corporate boardrooms from sea to shining sea.
prior to my profit-generating epiphany, it never occurred to me that others may be in some way deficient. up until that point i only saw the good in each and all; always extending to my neighbor doubt's benefit, never once imagining that latent and dormant in all of them lie both the capacity to change and numberless reasons to undertake the process of transformation.
initially, my criticisms were simplistic and general...i'd sit on a park bench and hold-up cardboard signs with words like "loser", "slut", "fat-ass", "imbecile", "freak", "wus", "coward"...that kind of thing. after spotting a potential client walking my way, i would generously and selflessly share my impression with this wayward stranger in need of improvement, only to be ignored or physically assaulted.
while rethinking my marketing strategy, i next entertained the idea of 'interventions'. in which i would solicit the participation of loved ones and colleagues, lure my prospective client into a fake 'grand-prize-give-away', and surprise them with a curative to last a lifetime. after all, who doesn't ache to tell every loved one and/or colleague how much they suck? precisely. naturally, it was easy to secure the participation of the interveners. but, still, i couldn't be sure if my prospective client would be seduced by such forward and radical methods. but it was worth a try.
let's just say that the beta-testing of 'interventions' did not go as smoothly as one may hope.
and that's when all the tumblers fell into place. the germ of genius had now been developed into a profitable format.
i went back to the drawing boards...literally, i went back to the actual drawing board, took my card-board cut-outs and added qualifying phrases...instead of an accusatory "loser!" staring that loser in the face, he/she was now asked a stinging question, "is your husband/wife/co-worker a loser/slut/fat-ass/imbecile/wus/freak...?"
amazing how a slight alteration can make all the difference.
all of a sudden, instead of physical assaults and emotional breakdowns, the services of janus consulting LLC were being secured with six figure cashier's checks from all these losers, sluts, imbeciles...etc...who read my signs from that humble park bench. but what else can you expect? human beings (with the sole exception of janus) are for some reason unable to see the flaws in themselves, but at the same time extraordinarily keen in the discovery of every defect in their neighbor -- and are even able to magnify and exaggerate those short-comings.
and that's the story explaining my first few billion. it's a story of grit, determination and unalloyed genius. i hope this has been an inspiration for young & old alike.

i dreamed about killing you again last night/
and it felt alright to me/
dying on the banks of embarcidaro skies/
i sat and watched you bleed/
i buried you alive in a fireworks display/
raining down on me/
your cold-hard blood ran away from me/
to the sea...,
janus
Janus.
You really are a funny guy.
much appreciated, JJDifmam.
i have to say that i rather liked that one...after rereading it, i'd rank it among my better efforts in the last couple months.
and, truth be known, i did it at this time and for this reason for this purpose: to let tptb know what's up.
dear tptb,
we're hip to the jive, jive turkeys. we got the 'problem-reaction-solution' thing all worked out. you keep giving us the problems, we'll continue to hi-jack the reactions and, ultimately, the solutions.
you, the kings and princes of this earth, have lost the 'hearts & minds'...they shift further every day into cyber-terrains like The Hedge. the people don't like you and they don't trust you.
you've been soundly established as liars.
the game is up.
we win before it even begins.
you continue to weaken in creating the problems; you've lost control of the reaction; and without that vital component of the dialectic, you cannot contrive the solution.
it's a long way down, tptb...see you on the other side.
time to sleep the sleep of the innocents.

yawn,
janus (and the interwebs)
MSM bug juice has been on the menu way too long. Hardly anybody likes that shit anymoar.
Hey Williambanzi where do you live? Your Flikr account is full of really nice photos.
He lives at the North Pole.
He's really Santa Claus and fills the other 364 days of the year with awesome visual combat.
The messiah has descended into the manure from whence he came.
Aaah, yes, one of my favorite posters after seeing it hanging in a buddy’s shop decades ago.
When the BS got too deep he would just point to it and smile. …. Worked like a charm for all but the most brain dead spewmeister.
However something tells me even such a direct message won’t make a dent the mighty monkey troupe chatter.
Once again, you have a winner, WB7.
Nice image WB7! It would seem more true to form if the Grand Destroyer were dressed as an Emperor. He certainly sees himself as the annointed one who is above the constitution and his word is law. How did we the people allow this to happen?
The Junker has been around again I see. I see that that youtube has pretty much banned the band Rebel Son. That is not stopping anyone though. This reincarnation might be better than the original.

These people do not realize that is us poking some fun at ourselves. Get over yourselves Youtube. Better watch it while you can. There is nothing dirty in the link. You have have to love to wooden framed motorcycle. That is redneck art if I ever saw it. Yeah, we don't read the New York Times out here because we have other things to do.
Banzai,
Totally agree with the theme but the idea of this piece of shit in a WWII US Army uniform is very dishonrable to those who fought in the war (yes I know all wars are bankers wars).
Random morning thoughts...
1) At what point does Kellogg's & General Mill's give up on the marketing fantasy (caused by Keynesian economics) of thinner cereal boxes while keeping their approximate height? Sometime around when they have to totally retool the line in order to get it into envelope width boxes, one assumes.
2) So when can the world expect an Islam Reformation similar to the Christian Reformation and who will be the Imam leading it?
3) Well well well..."What difference does it make!"...indeed.

Much like the old 16 oz. bags of coffee, then 12, and now 10oz bags... same price. Soon enough the new AI will be able to just make completely new packaging lines to coincide with the demands of consumers, err, I mean ebt card carrying members.
The BIG Lie is unfolding for the masses to see... but will the people do anything? Oh wait, hang on, another mass shooting and Bruce Jenner just had a baby!!!
was irritated at EBTers' ordering 24oz fraps on your/mine tax dollar when my budget allowed a senior coffee....went to congressional office to report fraud only to find it allowed in house bill. realized it was another subsidy to grocer. ohhhh...the influence peddling...the donald's is overt with people support whilst choom bo is intrenched in the tangled web of covert evil influence peddling.

Iraqi Parliament's Security and Defense Committee is going to review a security agreement with the United States over Washington’s inability to tackle the crisis in the country, committee member Hamid al-Mutlaq told Sputnik on Wednesday.BAGHDAD (Sputnik) – The Security and Defense Committee of the Iraqi Parliament has called for a review or cancellation of an agreement with the United States on security over Washington’s lack of a clear reaction to the worsening situation in the country, committee member Hamid al-Mutlaq told Sputnik on Wednesday.
“The government and parliament need to review the agreement signed with the United States on security because the United States does not seriously care about its fulfillment. We demand that it be annulled,” al-Mutlaq said.
“Iraq will be protected only by its sons, and Turkey must withdraw [its troops] because Iraqi soil is holy and its sovereignty is the red line. We have the right to give this issue international character and demand Turkish troops be withdrawn through the UN Security Council,” al-Mutlaq continued.

The punks trying to make me look bad. Cuz they got no game.
Lucky for me, I no longer need a beverage warning before I navigate to WBs newest post.
Had to zoom in on the helmet insignia.
Oh lordy, lordy, lordy...
Horse, donkey, mule, jackass, or Obama - one or more of them may be the same.
But I cannot make out the slightly different florish at the bottom - under the tail.
I mean - you cannot overlook ANYTHING in a WB7 masterpiece.
Really shouldn't be insulting good, honest jack-asses, and though the ground level residue of said animal is appropriate, we're likely insulting shit with the comparison also....
Ah yes, the emblem of the horse's ass division - for denizens of Washington DC.
Why isn't Banzai making fun of the arsehole in a wig?
Because with the stroke of his pen or a simple phone call he can't send a Redeye missile through your bedroom window? Because he doesn't almost daily try to figure out some way to impoverish us though the IRS and lie about his true intentions? Because he's not the one spying on everyone? Because he's not the one advocating stripping away our right to personal defense to "keep us safe"?
Because he's not a flaming hypocrite dumping 41,000 tons of carbon into the atmosphere per year on average and then going to global warming conferences and telling the world we should all hop on a bike so elites can have "carbon credits" to put another gazzilion tons into it cuz they're somehow, special...just...maybe?
