Bunz & Katz FrogSitWelcome to the new weird world of 2013... As we start off the new year with a bright new Bunz and Katz calendar and comix (www.bunzandkatz.com) an' Hey - check out our new Comix site for twice weekly posted pages, full of Fun, Adventure and Stupidity!! For those of you who need catching up to date - a Horrible Alien invasion has been postponed, while our somewhat less than intrepid protagonists explore a strange new world along Hollywood Boulevard - or leastways that's where they are at the moment... I really am impatient for the story to get moving myself, but you've got to start somewhere - so there they are...

I hope all of you are doin' okay... Myself, I'm not certain if I'm lookin' forward to the new year or not... I think I'm going to kind'a miss ol' 2012 - I mean, what've we going to do without that Mayan End of the Calendar Doom?? It's been creepin' up on us for years - a seemingly endless source of trepidation and cheep programing for radio pundits - an' now it's past... Bummer!!

I suppose we've just got to find ourselves some New Doom (hopefully one that's equally non-lethal) Something like Y2k (which was the Edsel of all Dooms)... something which we can stew about for the next few years, while ignoring the real problems...

Speaking of which: While I've been workin' on this calendar pix, have been sittin' here on the night before the last day of the year, listenin' to news of Congress & the White House still futzing over the so called "Fiscal Cliff" - Remember now, this isn't some Act of Nature, nor is it an' attack by some hostile nation or terrorist group, it's not even an unsightly crabgrass infestation (though there are similarities with the latter) - this is a situation that they themselves created and could easily undo - yet instead of unsnarling their own mess - they seem more intent on milking the affair for maximum press coverage while doing anything but that! Ferinstance, Congress did manage to find time to vote themselves a nice $900. dollar raise! Isn't that nice, every Congressman & woman gets to start the new year with more bux padding their already well padded pockets - while those on unemployment... Oops - seems they've been left hanging by their thumbs over the holidays, hoping that congress might find some time, after tallying up their own raises, to vote them an extension before all their benefits are Cut!! (and that 1st of the month rent payment comes due) Well, I suppose one has to have their priorities in order - and you had better believe that Congress does! I mean, if you were a Congressman (or woman) wouldn't you vote yourself a raise over actually doing something to help some unemployed slob who has nothing?!?

Sure, it is in theory, kind'a Congress's Job, to see to the health and welfare of the American People... But think about it - that unemployed Slob is used to having nothing - While the Congress person needs to make payments on their new car - or their condo - or their next junket... No wait, they don't actually pay for those - some Lobbyist will pick up the tab for Junkets and "Working" Vacations and such... But you see the point - the Congress really needs that extra money! We understand - because we know that they all do such a swell job - don't they??? JQ
