This will be an unusual statement in at least a couple ways

This will be an unusual statement in at least a couple ways. First, I am going to include more detail about our process than I ordinarily would, because I think the American people deserve those details in a case of intense public interest. Second, I have not coordinated or reviewed this statement in any way with the Department of Justice or any other part of the government. They do not know what I am about to say.

"Detail about our process" because unless you understand the process you'll never believe what's going to come next.
The DOJ nor anyone in the Executive Branch has any idea that I'm about to do this because I don't trust them.

Okay, that's two, or a couple of ways, but FBI Director James B. Comey said his statement today on the Investigation of Secretary Hillary Clinton’s Use of a Personal E-Mail System was going to be interesting in at least a couple of ways - implying that it would be interesting in more ways than just two. What else is interesting about it?

3. Some time in the next 10 days I'm going to drop the hammer on the Clinton Foundation and just like today nobody is going to see it coming. Also, all the folks who are lauding me today will hate me and all the people who are hating me today will laud me because they're all corrupt scum.

Oh yeh, that's right people, there are two FBI criminal investigations going on and only one of them wrapped up today with a "why bother" brush off. Why bother with the email server? The Clinton machine would just focus all the attention on it and deny, deny, deny until people get frustrated and bored with the subject. And they'd focus only on the email server (servers actually - turns out there were a few of them) and use it as a straw man to distract from the big red elephant in the room - the criminal collusion between the State Dept. and the Clinton Foundation. Forget the email server - let's clear the table and get ready for a big slab of red meat that everyone can chew over. It's coming... Any day now.

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. A born rebel with the heart o
