Plan B

Looks like John Kerry is taking the blue pill in an effort to abort HRC and though I'm not sure how infanticides work in the normal male body, the silver-spooned surfer's biology might be so odd that he actually pulls it off. It's no surprise to me, having watched her carpetbagging highness over the years, that that the Democrat establishment is going to put her out to pasture and I suppose they waited patiently keeping their powder dry in an effort to prevent another young dreamer like Barack Obama from making a bid to grab the brass ring. Sorry Pocahontas Warren and Martian O'Malley - There will be no Gary Hart or Howard Dean in this years fashion show because 2016 is going to be a big league slugfest and that means only 1st string white male starters get to play.

One of the funniest memes touted by the GOP shills and know-it-all commentariat is that the Democrat Party "has no bench" meaning they have no viable candidates behind Hilary R. Clampett and if she stumbles then the Dems are sunk. I assume the primary promoter of this narrative is the Clampett machine and their beltway bootlickers who pretend that it is so - but it ain't.

Clinton - the lovable rogue Bill Clinton who happens to be a damn good Politician among other things - squeezed into the Presidency with 43% of the vote in the '92 election due in no small part to a crypto-fascist-nut-job from Texas and then in '96 managed to get just 49.2% of the vote with a booming economy and relative peace + additional help from the Lone Star dwarf (and Colin Powell decided to NOT become Americas first black President) + Gingrich balanced the US budget. In other words, Bill Clinton never really had the full backing of the US voters and he's the gifted campaigner, back slapping glad hander and (give the devil his due) political visionary of the family. As for the Mrs. she's got to be one of the worst politicians ever the rise so high and go so far on the thermals created by the otherworldly phoenix she's married to. In 2000 she defeated a kid named Rick Lazio for Senate in a State she knew so little about that she was forced to take a "listening tour" to get aquatinted with "the people." In '06 she ran for Senate essentially unopposed and managed to snag 700k fewer votes than she did 6 years earlier. She was handed the Sec of State job as a booby prize for getting the Presidency taken from her by a relative neophyte (who was backed by Party elders) and she spent 4 years globe trotting with her girlfriend and getting things done for Clinton Foundation donors. Now she want's to be the first woman President of the United States. Nope.

Americans have never liked Hilary and the Democrat Party knows it. She might be able to win the Dem primary, but she'll never win a general election and it looks like she's not going to get a chance to try.

Hillary's out so who's it going to be?

So who's it going to be?

John Kerry - got almost 60 Million votes in 2004 and he's done his time as "winter soldier" for the Democrat Party.
Al Gore - Already won it once in 2000.
Joe Biden - He's also done his time and seems to be able to say anything without consequence.
Gov. Moonbeam - 4th times a charm.

That's not a bench, that's an all-star team of political fighters who want to be President and this is their year - they all know it in their bones and they ain't going to let some grandma take it from them.

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

The 4th Estate "does not know"

Last night Jim Acosta sat down for an interview with Larry Sabato at a national symposium series presented by the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics titled “Democracy in Perilous Times.” The evening’s topic was “ The Fourth Estate: Enemy of the People? ” and the crowd was warmly receptive of Acosta’s message which, boiled down to its essence, is that Donald Trump is a liar and he’s making life dangerous for reporters. Sabato introduced Acosta to the audience as Enemy #1 which drew mirthful laughter from the auditorium and then presented a short video montage of President Trump and his deplorable rubes insulting the reporter on many occasions over the past two years. This was all a set up for his first question which was, “how do you do your Job?” Acosta said the he accomplishes his duties by maintaining focus, reporting the story and telling the truth but acknowledged that it is difficult when the White House erodes the peoples faith in the press by bullying reporters.

A Apolitical Blues

Well my telephone was ringing, and they told me it was chairman Mao. You got to tell him anything 'cause I just don't want to talk to him now. According to the brilliant troubadour Lowell George the Apolitical Blues are " the meanest blues of all" and who am I to disagree with this soul man now after all these years of living by his maxim.  I first heard the song bursting from the 1972 vinyl of Little Feat's Alt-Rock-Country masterpiece "Sailin' Shoes" in the second story bedroom of my friend John's older brother Edie who, being about 3 years our senior, was instructing us on the importance of good music. This was circa 1975 and a formative time for my musical taste and overall aesthetic which, for better or worse, infuses every aspect of my existence including the KOTCB blog so a debt is owed this unforgettable "older brother" now that  he has shuffled off this mortal coil  and left us with smoky memories.
