Wynning

There is something wonderfully Berniesque about holding the first Democrat Party Presidential debate of the season at Steve Wynn's monument to himself (and "Capitalism") situated on the Las Vegas strip where the cheep rooms go for $599 per night ($671 if you include tax). What better location to promote Democratic Socialism and wealth redistribution than a casino built in Harry Reid's home town. Maybe the candidates can play a round of golf and warm up to each other before the debate - green fees are a measly $500 for 18 holes - that's a little more that $25 per hole after frustrating hole and caddying for a fivesome comprised of Hitlery, Bernie, My Favorite Martian, The Biggest Little Hobgoblin in the Union and the Cracker Jim Webb would be insane in the membrane. The only guy missing is Lunch Bucket Joe Biden (empty lectern), but he'll be joining the group soon, then Gore, then Kerry when Plan B takes effect - everyone's going to jump in after tonights debacle when America gets a look at this side-show mascaraing as a political party. Three of the 5 contestants aren't even Democrats - Sanders is an Independent (whatever that means) and Chafee and Webb are GOPers who switched parties for convenience - not conviction. That leaves the head of the Clinton Correctional Facility and the former Mayor of Tiny Town the only Democrats contending - hardly a prizefight.

The good news? The Donald will be live Tweeting and "covering" the entire debate - CNN is probably paying him to do it (they should). I wonder if the Elvis from Queens will fly in for the night and watch the show form his Vegas hotel - for those who don't know LVNV Trump and Wynn have a very close business relationship and there's a shuttle from Trump's hotel to the Wynn Casino that runs all day long. Trump has no gaming in his establishment, but delivers high rollers to Wynn's tables on the half hour - and just like in Washington DC, no matter how lucky their night might start out the house always wins in the end.

Tweeting from the Top Floor?
I will be reading Mr. Trump's twit fit tonight - he's one of those people, like many of his Afro-American fans, who actually understands how to use the Twitter platform.

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...

Blue Devils and Yellow Cowards

A few weeks ago Duke lost Coach K’s last game at Camron Indoor Stadium to the schools hated rival, North Carolina University, in an epic grudge match. It was an “ unacceptable ” finale for the maniacal ferret-faced competitor who created the 40 year dynastic Duke hoops program with 1,000+ wins and fists full of ACC and NCAA championships but for Tar Heels everywhere it was a day of retribution. Michael  William Krzyzewski, is a red-blooded All-American college basketball coach of Polish and Ukrainian descent who grew up in Chicago’s famous Ukrainian Village which is (or at least was) culturally very reminiscent of the Rus borderlands. That is to say that young S h-shef-ski   grew up as  far away (psychology) from Dixie as is possible while still living within the borders of the USA. That makes him the perfect choice to represent Duke University and the Yankee overachievers who emigrate to Durham for 4 years of education and networking before moving back to...
