I wish all the best in 1999 to the Bongo's Fallout Shelter READERS, AUTHORS, and yes, even the FLAMERS!

Okay, now that I have gotten that out of the way...

To those who have swallowed the DNC spinmeister lines ( lies ) that have been so forth coming from the current administration that inhabits the Whitehouse ( thanks to Alan Keyes for enlightening me on this way to look at Bill Clinton, see: Alan Keyes extra. ( 9-15-98 ) ) , I wish them to find their brains, which they seem to have lost ( or have had stolen by the likes of James Carville, Lanny Davis and Geraldo Rivera )!

I don't thank these internet search engines: EXCITE, BFS was listed and then removed. When you type in " Bongo's Fallout Shelter " you get search results listing some weird lounge and computer game links? LYCOS returns no results after having the URLs submitted. INFOSEEK, BFS was nicely spidered and listed, but finally removed ( it must be run by knee jerk liberals! ). MAGELLAN never listed BFS after it's initial submission and the displayed search result is some brain damaged band thing. YAHOO, who never put BFS in the political opinions or rants section, but the wonders of collecting beanie babies is the result when you search for " Bongo's Fallout Shelter " ( sadly amusing, don't you think? ). It really makes one think about just who runs these search engines and what their criteria for inclusion in their indices is!

I wish a happy new year to those Democrats and Republicans in the House of Representitives who showed their integrity by voting their consciences in the impeachment debate. Bongo's complete House impeachment debate coverage can be found here: Pregame Show. ( 10-5-98 ) , The Bigtop. ( 10-5-98 ) , Playing Shuffleboard on Titanic? ( 10-9-98 ) , House Impeachment Circus Begins. ( 11-10-98 ) , Democrats Prove They Are The Scum of The Earth! ( 11-21-98 ) , Truth or Consequences? ( 12-2-98 ) , Defense of The Indefensible? ( 12-9-98 ) , Have all Democrats really sunk this low? ( 12-10-98 ) , Can Democrats really sink any lower? ( 12-11-98 ) , Will There Be A Closing Clown Act? ( 12-12-98 ) , A Barrel Full of Monkeys! ( 12-12-98 ) , Dial 611? ( 12-19-98 ) and Vote of Conscience or Party? ( 12-20-98 ) . President Clinton's response to the House vote impeaching him was here: Clinton Throws Impeachment Party? ( 12-21-98 ) .To those who towed the party line, I hope they find their missing spinal columns this year. To the United States Senate, I say happy new year, but remember we are watching each and every one of you, to see if your party colors are showing!

To the National Basketball Association players, I offer my contempt at their bid for a piece of the team owners action, while still commanding a ridiculous amount of money for their services as players!

I wish a happy new year miracle to the peoples of Bosnia ( including Kosovo ), Iraq ( not Saddam Hussein ), Israel, Northern Ireland, Red China ( not the lousey commies, but the fledgling democracy movement ), South Korea and Taiwan. The people living in these countries have become pawns in Bill Clinton's ' wag the dog ' campaign and are paying the price for our precious President's rise in the polls.

To the extremist pundits from both ends of the political spectrum, I wish them some moderation in 1999. I encourage the totally whacked out socialist lefties to move to Italy, France or any of the splintered formally Iron Curtain countries!

In 1998, we commented on the fate of socialized medicine: Doctor Marx will see you now. ( 7-12-98 ) and the politicization of NASA: One Complementary Ticket For The Space Shuttle. ( 7-16-98 ) and The Wrong Stuff? ( 10-23-98 ) . Finally, even the Internet itself wasn't safe: Utilize The Internet? ( 11-13-98 ) .

To Larry Flynt, Alec Baldwin, Michael Moore, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Hanks and the rest of the possibly morally challenged ultra rich Hollywood type fat cats, who have pledged allegiance to the first philanderer, I offer the raspberry! To the Pinnochio-like Democrat robot media pundits, who did such a good job at repeating their DNC learned responses, I offer only my action of ignoring what they say this year ( if you have heard the Whitehouse talking points once, why listen to them over and over again? ).

I wish I could give Attorney General Janet Reno some back bone, or a dose of free will in 1999. See: Don't duck your responsibilties... ( 8-25-98 ) , Puppet of The Month! ( 11-25-98 ) , and Janet Reno Puppet Show? ( 12-8-98 ) .

Speaking of dose. I really wish I could slip some truth serum into Willy's diet Coke the next time he has to testify under oath in court. Now, wouldn't you all like to see that?

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. To anyone who thinks we are not tough on weenie Republicans, read this: Throw Da' Bums Out! ( 11-6-98 ) .

Once again, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL ( well almost all ), but especially to the courageous or crazy band of individuals who had the guts to march in Washington D.C. in protest of President Bill Clinton: March for Justice. ( 11-1-98 )

- Bongo ( The nice one is at: Happy New Year! ( 1-1-99 ) . )
