Slutzky for President (#NeverTrump)

In my neck of the woods we had a Chairman of the County Board of Supervisors named David Slutzky who was up for reelection a few years ago and I remember marveling at the fact that a man with the name Slutzky thought he could get elected to anything in an English speaking country. If you want to go into politics and you're burdened by a name like Slutzky then change your frigg'n name for Christ's sake and give yourself a fighting chance. Nope. Slutzky lost to the affable Rodney Thomas - you know the guy with the normal last name that you didn't feel dirty saying.

This story sprang to mind the other day when I heard that Bill Kristol (another great name) had chosen a different David - not David Slutzky but David French - to be the alternative 3rd party presidential candidate to HRC and DJT. Mr. French is a wonderful choice as a war vet, lawyer, author and staff writer at National Review he is the perfect naval gazing, hide bound, orthodox constitutional "conservative" that's been driving the GOP into the ditch (even when they win) for decades. I'm sure there are many, many Republicans and Independents who simply can't vote for the two leading candidates and will jump at the opportunity to punch out a chad for President French.

SCREECH! SMASH... CRASH... BOMP... CRUNCH... POW.

Did I just type what I think I typed? President French??? Help, my fingers are melting... melting!

Look, no one is a bigger francophile than I am - I love the history, the culture, the shady duplicity of the French political class and though the percentage of Frenchmen who "get" entrepreneurial liberty and republican virtue is a distinct minority (I peg it at 25%) they get it at a depth that few other nationalities achieve and carry the load for all the rest of pompous self-regarding libertines who populate the country. But I can assure you that there will #Never be a President French in the United States of America - there is a better chance of a President Slutzky getting elected this November.

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...

Total Eclipse

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...
