Superstition XXVI

You might think I'd write a blog post about the ludicrous halftime show of Super Bowl XLIX or the pre-game travesty with it's strange cast of characters or the advertisements. Maybe the Presidents lame duck pregame interview deserves a few remarks. I should comment on the insufferable commentary during the game by Chris Collinsworth. But I'd like to take you back, dear reader, to a Super Bowl long, long ago and it's long tail reverberations for the USA. It was a time of happiness and relief - The Redskins were dominant in the NFL and no one complained about their mascot, the Soviets were defeated and Marxism was disorganized and in retreat, Islamic terrorism was something that happened somewhere else - the future looked bright.

There was one humorous "scandal" rocking the Democrat Party because one of their prospective candidates had been accused of having an affair with the fetching Jennifer Flowers. It's hard to believe now, but this news was about to sink Bill Clinton's dream of becoming President (and sink the dreams of his wife too*). Even though everyone inside the DC political culture knew the allegation was true - and that includes the journalists and news readers for the networks - there was a sense within Democrat establishment that extraordinary measures must be employed to save this guys bacon. CBS's award winning "news show" 60 minutes is part of that Democrat establishment so they inserted a special 10 minute episode right after the Super Bowl so that all of America could watch this.

Don Hewitt - "Listen Jim, Mike Wallace won't do it, he likes Bob Kerry who thinks your guys a dirtbag."
James Carville - "Shoot Don, I don't care what Mike Wallace thinks. I don't want him for the interview anyway."
Don Hewitt - "Well, who do you want then Lesley Stahl?"
James Carville - "Damn it, are you trying to piss me off? We're trying to win the female vote man not have our candidate burned at the stake. We want Steve Croft."
Don Hewitt - "Steve Croft?"
James Carville - "Yes, Steve Croft, we like him."

Now I think we know the reason why - He likes his mistress to dress like Laura Bush (what a freak).

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

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

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
