Dumb and Dumber

We are doomed.  I miss the good ol’ days when we had the two dependable elephant and donkey parties.  There were normal differences back then in the 2-party system, but things changed dramatically with the Pentagon Papers and then the Watergate Scandal.  Nixon wanted to go down in History as a magnanimously grande President and his foreign policy could have put him there, but domestically, he failed miserably.  He got bruised with the first scandal, but the second one destroyed him.  Next up for the “Pubs” was Reagan, a man who reeked of Presidential timber and limped away from the Iran-Contra affair, which seeped into the one term of Bush the 1st.  Bush the 2nd’s downfall was Iraq, but the Party covered over his sins and allowed him to walk away relatively unscathed.  Nixon was sacrificed, but the Republican Party was setting the rest of us up through the years with their internal policy of lies, misconceptions and deceit that set the stage with a final assault to hand the ball off to a demagogue who laid waste to our Nation.  

I have to believe though, that if Nixon were to see what he has wrought, he would be appalled beyond measure.  He would see a Republican Party outright commending violence, crime and insurrection and then be completely and irrevocably smug about it.  Like I said, we are doomed, so let’s get down to brass tacks here and see how we can defeat the aforementioned demagogue and his devious diatribe.  The first thing we need to do is learn from historical mistakes.  If we do something dumb, we want to correct it, not do something dumber.  For instance, voting for Trump in 2016 was dumb and voting for Trump again in 2020 was dumber.  See what I’m getting at?  Let’s do another example.  Voting for Trump in 2016 was dumb and not voting for Trump again in 2020 wasn’t.  One more example.  Not voting for Trump in 2016 was smart and not voting for Trump again in 2020 was smarter.  Stay with me now.  I hope you’re catching on cause I’m giving you pearls here.  This past week-end at the annual CPAC commingling was a cornucopia of crap.  I don’t even know where to begin in describing this dumb to dumber diction, but I need someone, so I will just settle with Fox News.  I will have to do some research to see if any news network in the past had ever sent a correspondent to a political rally to speak instead of the usual reporter duties like CNN did with Jim Acosta.  There’s something suspiciously odious here with Fox News correspondent Pete Hegseth flinging verbiage on the Nazi rune designed stage at CPAC that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stick out.  What the heck is that?  Once again, we have a news correspondent making the news instead of reporting it.  Fox News my ass, more like Fox Folly and right up there with Trump and the 200 pound Trump-Golden Calf.  Like I said, Dumb and Dumber!  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...
