New Comedy and Satire Book Really Sticks it to The Washington Post!
The Washington Toast is the funniest thing to come out of Washington Since Congress.
The Washington Toast, a humor and political satire book, makes its official debut today on December 11, 2007. If you haven’t been clued in to what the Toast does, it is a dead-on, straight faced parody of American newspapers. It is beautifully crude and sophomoric in a manner Mad magazine no longer aspires to, and for readers looking for some deathly funny satire in this politically-correct, can’t-we-all-just-get-along, sissified age, it is a lighthouse in a stormy sea.
For those of us who have long desired a good dose of wry and winsome humor The Washington Toast, is a treasure trove of biting satire and clever use of modern language. Somehow the writers manage to tickle our funny bones as they educate and entertain us with their insight and insider’s understanding of the madness we know as politics. In this provocative web site, the writers most often approach the subject at hand via parody. They are almost monotonously brilliant, nearly uniformly informative, and best of all, universally irreverent. This is one web site which might force you to bring your lap top to the rest room folks, for it will have you enjoying life’s most personal moments with tears of laughter as the unavoidable net result.
The editors and writers at the Washington Toast, will routinely attack the most sacred shibboleths and taboos of society, ranging from oil derricks erected on the White House lawn to a sagging Washington monument. From sexism to congressional hearings on defective home surgery kits, and from politics to the dangers of traveling to Atlantic City on a steeply discounted tourist bus. To be sure, the humor that results is by its very nature often tasteless and even a little but crude, so if you have a delicate stomach or a fragile disposition this collection of satiric pieces may not be something you would enjoy. But those of us with a taste for such bawdy fare will read the pieces again and again, until our eye’s bleed and our lap tops begin to smoke. All in all, it’s nice to have all this stuff online and available for instant replay. Enjoy!

No music or fancy effects. This is my first video, and my computer isn’t great so the video gets a little choppy every now and then. I built the Washing Monument in 3/5 Scale in Minecraft. It has to be 3/5th scale due to height limitations in the game. I dug to the bottom of the game and built it from the bottom to the top. Started 11/01/2010 – Finished 11/29/2010 There’s a giant hole in the middle to allow me to jump from the top observation level to get to the ground faster. A pool of water 6 blocks deep prevents the me from dying. I died trying to get to the bottom of the map in this video just to illustrate how deep it was. I used sand every 5 blocks to measure height, and glass at every corner so I can see outside. Every 33 blocks high the building width shrunk by 2 blocks. I also placed doors at every 33 blocks for access. Measurements: Height: 105 Blocks Width: Base – 11 Blocks, 33rd block – 9 Blocks, 66th Block – 7 Blocks Height from Bottom to Observation Level: 100 Blocks Materials used: Cobblestone, Water, Lightstone, Wood Doors, Torches, Glass For my next project I’m going to build the St Louis Arch. My big goal is I’m going to put Minecart tracks inside and have a Minecart automatically push me up and down the arch. I imagine it will take much longer than this one did.
