The Howdygram is sad to announce the death of Noel Neill, 95, the teeny film and TV actress who played Lois Lane in 1940s “Superman” movie serials and on television in the 1950s. She died on Sunday at her home in Tucson.
Neill reprised her role when “The Adventures of Superman” was created for TV in 1952 and remained with the series until it went off the air in 1958. There were plans to bring the show back, but everything came to a halt in 1959 when George Reeves — the actor who played Superman on TV — learned he was NOT faster than a speeding bullet and committed suicide. Oy.
Noel Neill was a popular TV heroine. As Lois Lane she always showed up at the office in proper suits, little hats and pearls, despite the fact that she’d probably end the day tied to railroad tracks, trapped in a cave or locked in a burning building. Thank God for Superman, right? I loved this TV show and had a big crush on George Reeves. (Also Mighty Mouse.)
Right-wing asshole and disgraced former soldier Allen West is pushing another conspiracy theory ... this time he says Americans no longer know what happened on the Fourth of July because we don’t wish each other a “Happy Independence Day.”
West is our latest Putz of the Week.
This is why today, I implore y’all to take the time to carefully read the entire Declaration of Independence and notice the parallels to the grievances then to today, such as, “He has erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their Substance” ... think IRS and other regulatory agencies.
Or how about this one, “He has combined with others to subject us to a Jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended legislation” ... sound familiar? Consider Obama’s rule by edict and executive order antithetical to our Constitution.
And, “For imposing taxes on us without our Consent” ... need I remind you there are 20 new taxes in Obamacare.

What a crock of shit.
First of all, President Obama was elected to his position by the American people ... TWICE. He is not a king, and when his second term in office finishes in January he’ll leave office. Kings never leave.
Second, President Obama is NOT the only commander-in-chief to issue executive orders. Every single president except for one has issued executive orders, including George Washington. President Obama has issued 235, but Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush issued over 600 combined. And if we look at the number of executive orders issued per year, we find that President Obama’s average is the lowest in modern history. Using West’s logic, the only president who wasn’t a tyrant was William Henry Harrison, who died one month after his inauguration.
And third, West also claims that the American people were taxed without their consent because of Obamacare. This is another crock of shit. The House of Representatives voted in 2009 to pass Obamacare, and all the taxes it contains, and the Senate voted to pass it by a vote of 60-39. West is probably whining because our system of checks and balances between the three branches of government, also established by the Constitution, has prevented Republicans from repealing the Affordable Care Act.
Oh my God. GET OVER IT ALREADY!
It’s 1:35 a.m. and these thunderstorms are getting worse as I sit here. All the lights in the house are flickering and we’ve already lost power TWICE. I guess it’s time to shut down the Howdygram and shlep myself to the chaise lounge to get some sleep. Check out the following weather map. The little white star denotes Howdygram headquarters. If you can zoom in, I’m the happy senior citizen holding a flashlight and waving her cane.
