The Flim Flam Man

Boy oh boy aren’t we in a tangled mess.  I remember traffic reports from the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, that called a certain car clustered location “spaghetti junction.”  That’s what we have here this election month and more, a spaghetti entwined clusterf**k!  The Trumpster is going to trash the place and he has the backing of the Prepuberty Party.  Now that is bad enough, but what is worse are the 70,000,000+ voters, who put him there in the first place.  They are the ones that really scare me because so many of them have neither the appearance nor demeanor of what I picture a Trumpster to look like.  Oh, there are those that are easy to spot, you know, the ones who look like Rambo incarnate hanging around in their camo wear looking like bandoleros brandishing their AK-47’s like their VC counterparts I faced in Vietnam, but unlike the no see VC, they stick out like a zit.  The VC were exceedingly clever guerrilla war farers, these guys are just sorry looking gorillas.  There are others that are obvious, you know, the kind that display wealth to the point where it gags you, the kind that can afford to have their trees and shrubbery on their estates dusted.  The ones that terrify me the most are the covert types, who present themselves like regular folk, wearing regular clothes, discussing regular things and leading regular lives.  They don’t have an orange tinge and act as if they should be lobotomized.  They’re out there, they’re everywhere, they’re everywhere!  Remember the B9 Robot from the TV series “Lost in Space” who whirled about flapping his tubulars warning the Robinson Family of imminent danger?  I need technology, the size of a small earbud that would warn:  “Danger, Danger, ID’d Trumpet invading your air space!”  That way, I can expose these unsuspecting hodads.  Here is the crux.  You take any one of these mild mannered undercover do or dier’s, plus all the other obvious Trumpets and they will turn on you, they will defend, to the point of brainwashing, the righteousness of their leader.  In computer terms, these poor souls have been hacked.  There is no way for them to see how their “Great Potentate” has scammed them.  He will consistently denigrate them and they”ll keep coming back for more.  Move over Mordecai Jones (George C Scott) the Flim-Flam Man is alive and well in the form of a bodacious overbearing pompous pseudo-politician wannabe!  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...
