Double Whammy

Nothing like a walk among the grave stones when ruminating on the cost of intolerance to drive home the message - especially if you've got one foot in the grave yourself. What's it to you if ISIS uses Americas incredibly generous and wide open immigration laws to export Jihadi nut jobs into the country and terrorize the population? You'll be gone in a few years anyway and it'll be some other fellows problem. Yes, Tom Brokaw has seen a lot in his lifetime, but NOTHING as dangerous as Donald Trump from Queens, NY who's intentions are analogous with FDR and Hitler - Tail-gunner Joe and Jim Crow. That's bad man, really bad because Muslims are just people like Japanese and Jews and Communists and Blacks - all of which have fought and died in the US Armed Services (hey, don't forget the Irish!).

The best thing about the NBC News handwringing was the lead in WebVert for Psoriatic Arthritis titled "Double Whammy" because it describes the kind of trouble we're in. See, PsA is a chronic inflammatory disease that attacks both your skin and your joints - that is to say, it makes you sick and unsightly on the outside with a red rash and it makes you ill on the inside by restricting your freedom of movement. It's kind'a like Jihadi terrorism on a personal level. And treatment, well, that depends on the kind of PsA a patient has. Some forms of psoriatic arthritis can be remedied through something as simple as a lifestyle change and better diet but for other forms of the disease harsher remedies are required.
Some types of psoriatic arthritis treatments are systemic (medications available in oral or injectable forms), so they work from inside the body to treat both skin and joint symptoms. The type of treatment your doctor recommends will depend on several factors, including the severity of your PsA.
 So the issue of Jihadi terrorism and weather The Donald is going too far comes down to the diagnosis. Barack Obama, NBC News and the entire Washington DC establishment think we can solve the terror problem with healthy lifestyle choices and better diet - that includes reducing our carbon footprint. Trump and half the US population think the problem is systemic and will require everyone to take the Red Pill to free their mind and attack the disease from the inside out. Just how sever is the ISIS terror problem? Does anyone really know that answer? Can someone please call a Doctor?

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.
