Bride of Olbermann

Estrogen Steroid Pencil-neck News is the 1%er of cable networks. They rake in so much cash that even the Mouse leaves them alone in their Bristol, Connecticut gated community. Valued at $50B+ they do as they please and what pleases them is to turn sports into corporate mush. The CG graphics, the bumper "music" (or whatever it is you call that throbbing exclamation point they constantly play when promoting themselves), the "banter" and smack the color guys always lay on each other and the "we are the champions" ethos oozes from the smart box into the brains of young meat heads around the world.

Is it any wonder that these pampered talking (dick)Heads treat the buffoons who watch their insipid, blathering commentary with contempt? Keith Olberman still works there (or is he suspended now - I can't keep up) and now Olberman's bride has been captured au naturel paying a tow-truck company who had the audacity to boost her car. This is how they do it Clock City.


Hey, I've been there, but for me they only took cash or certified check which meant walking 10 blocks across Queens to visit my bank. I didn't insult the poor woman behind the steel cage who collected my money (her life was obviously pretty rough) - I moved out of New York City instead and left the thieving municipal traffic extortion racket behind me.

Haha! I had not seen that yet. Very good! Always compliment someone behind a glass partition on the their effed up teeth. Klass, baby!

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.
