The Vineyard

While most of America toils away in the fallow vineyard of Americas economy our President takes his escape to THE VINEYARD of the 1% (make that the .1%) for rest and relaxation. Say what you will about George W. Bush, but one of the best things about his Presidency was watching the reports from a disgruntled White House press pool broadcast from Crawford, TX every August - they were priceless. But President Trayvon knows how to play the game and keep the lapdogs happy and one way, tried and tested, is to take them on boondoggles to exotic locations on the company dime. Hence, his annual summer retreat to Massachusetts and the very BLUE waters of the North East Coast.



Each summer enclave has it's own unique character - some more unique than others. A full accounting of each spot would require me to write a small pamphlet but in short:

  • South Hampton: Hardened NYC bitches with a lot of plastic surgery and a barbarian soul
  • Fishers Island: Totally protected old money haven impervious to scum
  • Block Island: Lonely Patagonia wearing urbanites from far and wide
  • Newport: Swells and Yachtsmen who drink like fishes and suffer from mental illness
  • Cape Cod: Small nosed freckled faced Irish (except Ptown which is filled with cocksuckers)
  • Nashawn Island: Keeping it all in the family
  • Martha's Vineyard: Faux earthy chicks who love to shag on the beach (and the dudes who use them)
  • Nantucket Island: Old white haired ladies who cary a wicker bag toped with a scrimshaw whale
  • Cape Anne: Harassed and complaining "locals"
  • Maine: A fog socked world of it's own


Think I'm being unfair or too judgmental then check out this video interview (HuffPo naturally) about the new ABC/Disney "family" channel and consider the hilarity if the Obama's actually vacationed WITH the cast of "The Vineyard". This Presidential vacation truly captures the spirit of the age and it's a shame that it can't be documented ABC style for all to see.

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...

Total Eclipse

Greatest Headline of All Time Those readers living outside of Charlottesville, VA or Central Virginia proper might not be aware of the ongoing effort to pull down and move the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee from the town square otherwise known as Lee Park (not named after Harper Lee or Bruce Lee or Stan Lee but after the same Robert E. Lee). Charlottesville is a college town and like all college towns it's filled with college professors and assorted flakes who vote nincompoops into elected office as their representatives so it was no surprise to me when back in April the city council decided to do this : "Despite a pending court case that will ultimately determine the general’s fate, the Charlottesville City Council voted 3-2 Monday night to sell the city’s statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee." "Confederate General" is a sad, marginalizing descriptor for what surly must be one of the greatest Americans to ever walk this land and lead its people by p...
