Boycott this blog post

With all the misguided ideas surrounding policing in America it has finally come to this: A Quentin Tarantino Boycott.

Why? Because the guy hates cops, of course, but isn't that obvious to anyone who's ever seen his movies? All the more reason not to boycott them - go see them and you'll understand the full measure of what the police are up against. A few Tarantino flicks pumped through the eyes and ears and you'll find yourself cheering every Popo choke hold and random snuffing out of a miscriants bitter waisted life. The world of QT is a merciless, godless waistland of foul losers and their eternal quest for revenge which provides the only meager solice they will know in this life. The movies are great "entertainment" but only a fool (of which there are many) could find anything appealing in a QT hero - they're usually sociopathic killers reeking havoc on an unjust world filled with unjust scum, whores and sickos who also happen to be friends and associates of the "hero". After you've seen a few of the movies ask yourself - did the death of any one of the characters make you feel sad or upset?

Answer: No, HELL NO!!!

As a matter of fact the demise of QT's people (the creations of his mind and art) makes you feel good - really good - and that's the secret of his success. Folks love to see bad people get killed off and QT knows bad people and how to bring bad to life - then kill it.

Cops bring order to a chaotic world filled to the brim with the festering dreams of Quentin's imagination - from time to time they smoke one of these bad people and "it's a tragedy" that didn't need to happen. Unless it did, because there are just not enough QT Heroes in real life to whack all the bad guys - oh, they get a lot of them but the number of hellions deserving torture and death far outnumber the Uma's, Brad's and Sam's who can administer blood soaked revenge upon them. So it's left to the cop on the beat to clean up and unlike in the movies cops are more than a prop for taking a bullett and dying - in real life they fight back.

Tarantino's got a new movie coming out on Christmas Day with the wonderful Christmasy title of "The Hatefull Eight" - if I were a betting man I'd wager that it's about eight hatefull people and how they kill each other - box office gold. Go see it then go thank a cop for busting heads and keeping the peace.

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. A born rebel with the heart o
