Defend the Common House!!!


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 E Lee from Emancipation Park (formerly known as Lee Park). See KOTCB blog post Total Eclipse for a detailed explanation of why these idiots should be tarred & feathered then run out of town on a rail.

I escaped Manhattan (and other cities) to avoid this crap but the crap has seeped out of the cities and flowed down the asphalt tributaries to small towns all across the country bringing the "civic sprit" of authoritarian control in the name of do-gooderism (one of the worst ism's there is). How do I know? Because bastions of protection have started to emerge in these small time communities which is a sure sign that people need a safe zone from the society they "live" in. Take the Common House as an example... What? No, I'm not talking about some government building or civic center. I'm talking about Common House - a new private club just off the C-ville downtown mall where like minded people can go, relax, have a drink or dinner, play bridge or billiards and pay, pay, pay for it. Today the club even sent out an email inviting it's members to come on down and watch the crazies in the street from high atop the rooftop deck (I tried to get a copy of the email but nobody will send it to me). Insulated from the riff-raff a man can stretch out and enjoy himself amongst friends or, at least, amongst other people who crave insulation from the riff-raff - it's grand.

So don't worry about the haters, the stooges running city government, the POPO or anything else - just hand over your wallet and buy your way out of it then feel sorry for the saps who can't. Defend the Common House!!! Without it all will be lost.

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. This list

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
