Today is, honestly, the happiest day of my life in the past eight years. But it’s kind of hard to gloat (and I feel I really earned the right to gloat) when there are so many long faces here in my office on Wall Street. Geezus, what bunch of Party Poopers! I am relieved however to be able to throw down the gauntlet for a while and give the blog back over to frivolity and cute boys again knowing that our country has been awarded a new lease on life with the election of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

Bacon Thing of The Day: Bacon Plush Toy
Regular readers of The Worley Gig know that we are not only rabid and unashamed meat eaters over here but we are also very pro-Bacon! Having previously blogged about Bacon Flavored Dental Floss, Chocolate-covered Bacon and uber-tasty Bacon Cinnamon Rolls, it only follows that we would continue to celebrate Bacon’s awesomeness by turning fellow bacon-lovers on to this very cute and cuddly Bacon Plush Toy, Shaky Bacon, available for purchase from Plastic and Plush Toys! I love the angry look on his face! So adorable, so delicious.

Mickey Leigh, Brother of Joey Ramone, Speaks Out On Where The Ramones Stand Politically
STATEMENT FROM MICKEY LEIGH:
(November 2, 2008) “It has been brought to my attention that Linda Cummings (Johnny Ramone’s widow), using the name “Ramone,” has recently been in the media joining with the Palin family and the McCains to attempt to aid their campaign for the Presidency. As a President of Ramones Productions, and brother of Joey Ramone, I just want it to be clear that Linda Cummings does not represent the political views of the Ramones. Surely, as for Joey Ramone, the only Ramones song he would sing at a Republican campaign event would be ‘Glad To See You Go!’
“I should add that when Johnny stated ‘God Bless George Bush’ at the 2002 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame awards, I realize now that he was on to something. Because if it were not for George Bush and his handling of our country the past 8 years, I doubt so many Americans, including so many highly regarded Republicans, would now be getting behind Barack Obama. So, yes, God bless George Bush for paving the way to Obama.”
