Seat to Fly Into Space with Jeff Bezos Auctions Off for $28 Million

Seat to Fly Into Space with Jeff Bezos Auctions Off for $28 Million: A seat to fly next to Jeff Bezos and his brother in Blue Origin’s very first human spaceflight, has been auctioned off to an unidentified bidder for $28 million. Blue Origin will fly its “New Shepard” space capsule to an altitude of nearly 65 miles, where passengers can then unbuckle from their seats and experience about four minutes of weightlessness during their eleven-minute suborbital flight.

Wow, $28 million for an eleven-minute suborbital flight? Gee, I wonder if that’s for economy or business class seats? Why, Jeff Bezos has really put together one helluva “billionaire carnival ride” if you ask me. And, how comforting for average Americans living paycheck to paycheck, to realize that our tax-dodging billionaires will now - not only be looking down on them from the balconies of their fancy penthouses, but also from outer space!

Truth is, these modern-day robber barons are always on the lookout for new, more creative ways to spend all that extra cash they have on hand - courtesy of all those sweet Republican tax breaks. Now, is it wrong to wish that whomever bought this ticket, spends the whole flight trying to sell Jeff Bezos a timeshare in the Florida panhandle?

All I can say is, for an eleven-minute flight, they better find a pretty damn short in-flight movie. Oh, who am I kidding? They’ll probably run Amazon commercials. Anyway, all of that aside, you have to admit this is certainly the perfect gift for that person in your life who seems to have everything - and yet somehow, it’s still not enough. Behold, the next “status symbol” for the world's billionaire class.

Sadly, I suppose this also means most Amazon customers can abandon their hopes that a ride on Blue Origin will soon become one of the free perks that come with their Amazon Prime memberships. On a positive note, a Blue Origin spokesperson says even folks forced to live on the streets, should be able to watch parts of Blue Origin’s flight - assuming the weather stays clear above their homeless encampments.

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold: Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), has become the first Republican congressman to publicly state that, based on the Mueller Report - the President “engaged in impeachable conduct.” Rep. Amash further added that Attorney General Barr “deliberately misrepresented” the Mueller Report’s findings to congress and to the American public. Oh boy! One can only imagine the 3 AM tweet storm that’s gonna emanate from Trump’s porcelain throne over this level of betrayal. I’ll tell you another thing, disloyalty of this magnitude to the Cult of Trump isn’t likely to set well in America’s trailer parks either. But then again, what else is new? After all, Republicans have never viewed reality as being in their best interests. Now, I have no idea how all this is gonna finally go down, but I do know one thing - Justin Amash is definitely not gonna get an invite to Donald Trump's next wedding....

Self-Described Prophet and Pastor Warns Critics They Risk Leprosy

Self-Described Prophet and Pastor Warns Critics They Risk Leprosy: After numerous prophecies of his failed to materialize, resulting in various accusations of lies and fraud, self-described “prophet” and right-wing pastor Hank Kunneman of “One Voice Ministries” warned fellow Christians that they "better be very careful" about criticizing "prophets" like him, because "It's a dangerous place, and some of you might get leprosy.” Wow, leprosy? That’s one helluva threat! Now, while I wasn’t there, my guess is that it all came down something like this - some critic calls out God’s “prophet” Kunneman for his bogus claims, then further challenges him by declaring “You want a piece of me, then come and get it!” Then God gave that critic leprosy - and that “piece of him” just fell right off. Now, on a personal note, I’ve also been a vocal critic of Kunneman’s ministry for a long time now, and I can happily report that I haven’t come down with “leprosy.” Alth...

Nigerian President Denies Dying and Being Replaced by a Clone

Nigerian President Denies Dying and Being Replaced by a Clone: Speaking at a recent conference, Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari denied claims that he had died and been replaced by a Sudanese impostor or a clone, breaking his silence on a rumor that has been circulating on social media for months. Wait a minute, I think I saw that movie - “ Weekend at Muhammadu’s. ” And, if I remember correctly - wasn’t it was a Sudanese actor who played the lead? Who do they think they’re kidding anyway? After all, I wasn’t born yesterday! Now, of course, I’m sitting out here in California - so I have no sure-fire way to confirm or deny all these rumors, but I do know one thing - if you can’t believe Nigerian e-mails and social media posts, what the hell can you believe? https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com
