INT: HOME OFFICE A phone rings in Chappaqua.

Huma - "hello."

Robby - "Hi Huma, I wanted to go over the Iowa marketing plan and messaging. Is she available?"

Huma - "Not a good time Robby, she's pretty upset about Maureen Dowd's 'Open Letter' and she's locked herself in our bedroom. Keren's here though."

Robby - "Hey Karen, well, it's kinda important Huma 'cause the Iowa tour is coming up fast. Let's decide on a theme and you can fill her in once she pulls herself together."

Huma - "That's fine, she thinks this whole 'listening tour' is bullshit anyway, but it seemed to work in New York so... whatever."

Robby - "Great. Do you have the charts? I've been trying to email them to all of you, but it keeps bouncing. What email are you guys using these days anyway?"

Keren - "I've got them. They came into my MSNBC account. Go on Robby, we're looking at them now."

Huma - "what is this crap?"

Robby - "This is her logo and slogans Huma, we've been over this already."

Huma - "That's what your friends in DC came up with? I knew we should have gone to New York for creative. I thought we were looking to use the symbol for female - you know, the circle with the upside-down cross coming out the bottom."

Robby - "We did! This is the gender neutral version. A blending of the male and female symbols that says 'Hillary' loud and proud. It's very LGBTQ."

Huma - "I hate it and so will she."

Keren - "She's already approved it Huma, lets go to the next slide. That's the subject of today's call."

Robby - "Thank you Keren, so right, where were we, oh yes, the theme of our listening tour. Now, we've had a bunch of ideas, so I've put them all on this slide but there really is only one worth..."

Huma - "I'm hanging up now. This is more embarrassing that Carlos Danger."

Keren - "Hold on Huma, we need to agree on this. It's not the formal theme and messaging of the trip, this is the informal 'fun' narrative that we spoon feed the press. They'll say whatever we want them too so if you think she'll like one of the other shows more then..."

Huma - "You idiots, she doesn't 'like' any of these shows. We're going to have to brief her on whatever we choose, so do you think she can learn enough about Scooby-Doo in a 45 minute briefing to keep her from sounding like a fool if anyone asks her about it?"

Robby - "We can do that."


If you cook these hacks some dinner it really pays off - They'll pretty much print whatever you ask them to write about your candidate (if she's a Democrat). It's a grubby job, and someone's got to do it


Clampett News Network went so far as to publish an op-ed by Martha P(l)ease (aka Claire Underwood) blathering about the brilliance of HRC's sneaky campaign launch - a warm reboot of a long running cartoon for the liberal political consumer. Will it sell? Of course it will - it's what's on the screen and the press is going to badger and cajole the primary voters of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina with this marketing campaign until the will of each and every Democrat is broken. That's the strategy and though the DemLeft party establishment is trying to run the Mystery Machine into George Bush's ditch at mile marker 2008 we're well down Berry's dirty back road and coming up fast on a Y where decisions - long term decisions - are going to be made. 

Who in the broad US electorate is going to trust Hitlary to make those choices? There are not enough cartoon fans in America to put Velma Dinkley behind the wheel - Only Fred Jones (RINO) and Shaggy Rogers (Hippy) are allowed to drive and that ain't gonna change in 2016.

This whole Scooby Doo meme misses the mark except(!) for the name of the van - The Mystery Machine would seem to be the perfect name for the HRC Campaign for who among us really knows what the Mook Mafia is up to. But a better name for HRC's van is Straight Arrow from the 1977 drive-in classic "The Van" racing down the road with Dugan Hicks behind the wheel on it's way to the beauty pageant in "Little Miss Sunshine." Dugan will run over whoever gets in her way and plow straight ahead just like her logo "communicates" until someone runs her off the road and beats her.
A family determined to get their young daughter into the finals of a beauty pageant take a cross-country trip in their VW bus.
"NOBODY calls Dugan a TURD!"

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
