When All Hope is Lost - America Works

There hasn't been a post on the KOTCB Blog since just after Independence Day of this year - You Are Here. It's not like Clown World stopped turning or topical new stories have subsided with the approaching Nov. 3 election day. Indeed, the sheer idiocy of this Trump vs. Biden presidential contest is unequalled in modern American history. Not since Nixon vs. McGovern or FDR vs. Willkie have We the People been forced to witness the a Heavyweight pummel a Welterweight who was mercilessly thrown into the ring by cruel party bosses. I just lost interest... sort of like I did with House of Cards.

Review of House of Cards Season 3

(See HOC Season 1 Frank Noir in the Devil's Workshop and HOC Season 2 Bland Obomination)

I stopped watching house of cards after the first couple episodes of Season 3. Season 1 & 2 lay the groundwork for The MAGA cold civil war but by the time Season 3 was launched (February 27, 2015) the real battle was already underway. The New Green Deal machinations of an insane Frank Underwood looked like a darker version of West Wing. Fake & Gay POTUS Spacey was as sanctimonious and fascistic as handwringing JED! Bartlet and his policy prescriptions were just as DC centric and stupid. For example: America Works

“Placeholder” Frank is a horrible POTUS because he was never supposed to be president - he got there through cunning deceit, bland ambition and dumb luck. The KOTCB called this back in August of 2019 - over a year ago - by proclaiming that This election is a jo(((k)))e. The Democrats never had a candidate because Trump broke them in 2016 and continued to break them every day over the past 4 years. It's almost midnight on November 2nd and by this time tomorrow night Trump will be elected President in a landslide - his coattails will hold the Senate Republican majority and flip the House to the GOP. Then the true reckoning will begin.

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...

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...
