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

Psycho Killer, qu'est-ce?

I came into this wicked world in the early 1960's and as a result I have born witness to America's 50 Years of Failure which includes the modern age of mass shootings by psychotic men who "go off" on a given day, for no reason at all (except "guns"), and kill scads of innocent bystanders. Back in August of 2019 a KOTCB blog post titled " Reciprocity City " explored a young gunman named Patrick Crusius who drove 9 hours through the west Texas flatlands to shoot up El Paso, TX The KOTCB has commented on many of these shootings, bombings and knifings over the years - The roots of the Boston Marathon Bombing , the Emanuel AME Church shooting , Syed Rizvan Farook and his bride Tashfeen Malik , Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooting , Nick Cruz lovesick Parkland shooting , the Iranian, PETA activist, Vegan Bodybuilder, YouTuber's attack on Google and now this very oddly timed and placed "lone wolf" attack on Walmart shoppers.

Who voted for this guy?

Who voted for this guy? It's been ten days since the results of the Maricopa County, Arizona ballot audit were released to the public and presented at a hearing held by the state senate. This exercise in democratic accountability had been going on for months and, if reports are to be believed, was completed well over a month before the September 24th hearing where overwhelming proof of an illegitimate election was presented to lawmakers . The audit showed multiple irregularities, fake ballots, duplicate counts, errors, omissions and egregious acts of sabotage and obstinance by the Maricopa County board of supervisors who did everything they could to withhold and destroy evidence of wrongdoing from the citizen sleuths. The misfeasance of Arizona's political leaders was clearly defined, shocking and (for some) beyond belief but somehow these facts were discovered, organized, packaged and suppressed for MONTHS by the Cyber Ninjas who were attempting to "get to the bottom&q
