Russell Dana Feingold for President???

SOMETHING MUST BE SAID!
Well actually...
Marty Kaplan says it all on the Huffalump Post
" If you wish Paul Wellstone or Bill Moyers were running, he's as close to them as they come. "

But I say no one will ever cast a Presidential ballot for a man(?) named Dana.

On Sunday R. Dana Feingold appeared on the ABC's This Week with Stephie Stephanopoulos and after suggesting that impeachment(?) of President Bush is justified he backed down to the following piece of idiocy.

"A formal censure by Congress is an appropriate and responsible first step to assure the public that when the president thinks he can violate the law without consequences, Congress has the will to hold him accountable," Feingold said.

To which the only proper response would have been (not that I would ever expect Stephie to say this - it is beyond his capacity of thought) - "Hold on you arrogant windbag - weren't you co-author of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2001 which is a clear violation of the 1st amendment to the constitution of the United States of America. An act that President Bush signed into Law (one of the mistakes of his Presidency) and while he did it acknowledged that it was probably unconstitutional - but probably figured what the hell, let the Supreme Court fix it. So who gets to call for your censure?"

There is only one way to truly reform campaign financing and that is to cut the Federal Budget to a trickle and limit the amount of time Senators and Congressmen can engage in lawmaking - I suggest 4 months a year. This would make folks like R. Dana Feingold have to go back to Wisconsin and work for a living - it would do wonders for him and our nation.

Psycho Killer, qu'est-ce?

I came into this wicked world in the early 1960's and as a result I have born witness to America's 50 Years of Failure which includes the modern age of mass shootings by psychotic men who "go off" on a given day, for no reason at all (except "guns"), and kill scads of innocent bystanders. Back in August of 2019 a KOTCB blog post titled " Reciprocity City " explored a young  gunman  named Patrick Crusius  who drove 9 hours through the west Texas flatlands to shoot up El Paso, TX The KOTCB has commented on many of these shootings, bombings and knifings over the years -  The roots of the Boston Marathon Bombing ,  the Emanuel AME Church shooting ,  Syed Rizvan Farook and his bride Tashfeen Malik ,  Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooting ,  Nick Cruz lovesick Parkland shooting ,  the Iranian, PETA activist, Vegan Bodybuilder, YouTuber's attack on Google  and now this very oddly timed and placed "lone wolf" attack on Walmart shoppers. This list

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view

Who voted for this guy?

Who voted for this guy? It's been ten days since the results of the Maricopa County, Arizona ballot audit were released to the public and presented at a hearing held by the state senate. This exercise in democratic accountability had been going on for months and, if reports are to be believed, was completed well over a  month before the September 24th hearing where   overwhelming proof of an illegitimate election was presented to lawmakers . The audit showed multiple irregularities, fake ballots, duplicate counts, errors, omissions and egregious acts of sabotage and obstinance by the Maricopa County board of supervisors who did everything they could to withhold and destroy evidence of wrongdoing from the citizen sleuths. The misfeasance of Arizona's political leaders was clearly defined, shocking and (for some) beyond belief but somehow these facts were discovered, organized, packaged and suppressed for MONTHS by the Cyber Ninjas who were attempting to "get to the bottom&q
