Release the Kragle!

Everything is Awesome!

Bernie loves Denmark but, being a Constitutional Monarchist, he would.
Others aren't so happy with the Danes.
My guess is that Donald Trump probably agrees with a good bit of Danish policy and has no beef with the country, but Ted Cruz is worried and thinks Trump might nuke the Danes during one of his middle of the night temper tantrums.


Look, Denmark is sorry, but would Lord Business really nuke Lego's home turf (even on a bad day) and throw the world into absolute chaos? I know he's unpredictable and full of surprises but, wow, nuking Denmark would be hard to talk your way out of - even for the Donald. This "finger-on-the-button" ploy is bogus scaremongering and, for the love of God, think about the people who've had their finger on the button for the last 70 years. What about the "temperament" of the guy who's got his finger on it right now!

Truman - wonderful temperament - actually dropped two (2) nuclear bombs on Japan
Ike - loved to golf and very jolly - duck and cover and oops
JFK - drug addled playboy and scion of rich uber-nationalist (basically the 2nd son of the 1960's version of Donald Trump) - brought the world to the brink of nuclear war with the Soviet Union.
LBJ - famous hot head with merciless temper - sunk USA into Nam and dropped lots of bombs
Nixon - search the Internet for mountains of psycho-analisys - signed Nuclear Arms Reduction treaty
Ford - seat warmer with wonderful temperament - no bombs
Carter - petulant moralist - piloted nuclear sub
Reagan - the Gipper got along with Tip O'Neil - weaponized space
Bush 41 - prudent and measured - counter invaded tiny oil rich middle eastern country and started bombing Iraq
Clinton - infamous temper and pathological liar - continued bombing Iraq
Bush 43 - apocalyptic born again Christian - invaded Iraq and initiated Middle East death spiral
Obama - petulant narcissist - reviews a personal kill list every day and drones the unlucky while Middle East death spiral accelerates


Sure, Donald Trump is going to drop the bomb, but Ted Cruz is not? And even if a President wants to fire off a nuke do you think he can do so from his bedside table or sitting on the toilet at 3AM all by his lonely self? Hell no, he's got to go through all kinds of protocols and checklists with the DOD and NSC to even initiate the procedure. I'm sure that Sec. Palin would be able to talk Pres. Trump back from the brink and all would be well - nothing to worry about.

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.
