Keeper of the Clown Bell

There are many great and wonderful things about the Trump presidency but near the top of the list (and for my money it's at the very top) is the Slovenian-American beauty named Melania Trump. What a knockout !!! She is, hands down, the most beautiful FLOTUS this country has ever had and when I watch her cat walk up to the podium and recite the Lords Prayer in her stilted SlovEnglish accent I just fall in love with her all over again. What balls (or whatever it is that women have) to go on out there and just do it baby like you own the place (which you do) and fuck all the haters who run you down because you grew up in a soviet cinder block cube and God's hand directed you to the White House before the age of 50.

Why? The Scientific American tries to explain: "It is an interesting coincidence that the Moon should so nearly perfectly blot out the Sun, s

You might have heard that there was a State of Emergency declared in Charlottesville, VA this morning due to a clash of civilizations between the Alt-Right (commonly called White Nationalists) and the Antifa/BLM/LGBT/SJW (uncommonly called fascists). It was a good show for the cable networks and politicians made a lot of pronouncements about hate and what can and can't happen in our society. For my part, I was working in my garden and preparing for my fall plantings but I did see the helicopters flying and heard the sirens crying as EMT's rushed down Rt. 29 to care for the injured. I'd get updates from my pals in town and heard some wild stories - I'm sure I'll hear many more over the next few days and blame will be cast far and wide but as far as I'm concerned ALL the blame for the violence and terror unleashed on this quiet college town rests squarely on the shoulders of the Charlottesville City Council and their idiotic vote to remove the statue of Robert
