Pull the Plug

I can just picture Herb Brooks, the analyst he was, explaining the current political situation and how to downsize it, just like he did with the Russian Hockey Team in the 1980 Winter Olympics.  His locker room speech was one for the ages and like his team, he would inspire the media, be it audio, visual or print form to do what needs to be done and that is to “pull the plug” on Donald Trump.  It’s time to shut him down!   His time is done, his 15 minutes have expired!    Right now I am visualizing Herb’s down to earth logic and common sense exiling this miasma of Trumpism down a “blackhole” never to be seen or heard from again.  Wouldn’t the peace and quiet alone be exhilarating?

Sorry folks for the interruption, but we now switch over from, if only, to reality.  As much as this country (and the world for that matter) could use a break from all the havoc he wreaked, it will never happen.  The guy is an endless supply of fodder for every source of media on the planet.  Look at me, I am one of the nicest apolitical characters you would have ever met and this is my 9th article in the last 8 days.  I write about Minnesota High School Hockey, which amounts to one article a week and on election day, I switched genre, shifted into warp drive and average more than an article per day.  How is this possible?  Every good story has a who, what, when, where and why and that’s all true, but with Bubblebrain in the equation, you also have comedy, chaos, confusion, crisis and controversy.  There is absolutely no end in any foreseeable future to the grist mill.  However, there is dim hope as he was cut off by TV networks for falsely claiming voting fraud.  It is a sad day when news journalists have to explain to those watching out there in TV land that the President of the United States is full of shit!  I don’t know where to go from here, but I am sure that a sign will come from the governess of gobbledygook which will help me reload for more who, what, when, where and whys for tomorrow.  Stay tuned…..!

The McGrinch That Stole Your Stimulus

I disagreed with my wife just now, something that I never do, since the repercussions are quite disturbing.  Here’s what went down.  She stated that Mitch McConnell can’t stoop any lower into the depravity he wallows in.  I stood tall, took a deep breath, looked her right in the eye and spewed out “Yes he can!”  It was a moment frozen in time and then she smiled.   No systematic repercussions followed.  Whew!  Now, as a politician, he has a certain inalienable right to say one thing and mean another, or to talk out of two sides of his mouth, but Mitcheroo, has the extraneous ability to talk out of two faces.  Unfortunately, those two faces resemble both Scrooge and The Grinch.  Isn’t it easy for someone with a net worth of $22,200,000 to stand at a podium in the hallowed halls of Congress and object to raising the stimulus check amount from $600.00 to $2,000.00?  Then there’s Pat Toomey, R-Pennsylvania, who said there are too many citize...

Uncommon Failure

Okay, I’ll let you all be the judge and jury of the following statement that I came across that was buried in the dark corners of the internet where I usually find my strange and highly unusual articles of confoundation.  This is a Los Angeles Times letter to the editor ( https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-04-12/huntington-beach-ku-klux-klan ) about the “burb” of Huntington Beach.  Headline: “Common ground with the Ku Klux Klan?  Huntington Beach has a problem.”  The letter starts off with, “As Huntington Beach was preparing for a Ku Klux Klan rally and, in response, a Black Lives Matter counter protest, police department spokesman Lt. Brian Smith said,” now here’s the kicker, “We hope that they can utilize events like this as a means to find the common ground and work together for the common goal.”  ???  I thought I would substitute the usual WTF that usually follows an incredulous statement like that with question marks.  I never pass up the ...

The New Cult

Past cult leaders the likes of Sun Myung Moon, David Koresh and Jim Jones, exemplary role models for “Moonies”, “Davidians” and “Peoples Templers” are said to have had a charismatic  gift of gab and were able to ensnarl a whole slew of followers into their realm.  They, of course, have since passed into the great beyond.  Moon was 92 when he died of pneumonia, Korish was 33 when he and his zealots died with guns blazing and Jones 47, died with his lemmings from a bad dose of kool-aid.  There was a rumor going around that his last words were, “Hey, did someone spike this stuff!”   Like Stalin, Hitler and Atilla the Hun, these folks had the innate ability to sway the masses.  To this day, I still can’t figure out how.  I was more enamored with garden slugs than those “coots.”  Nowadays, we have a new malady in our midst, an anomaly if you will, who not only doesn’t have a gift of gab, but cannot even enunciate words correctly, uses alternative facts...
