Hey Skinny! ...yer ribs are showing!

And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
Genesis 2:21

BS
Far be it for me to declare who, from the legion of choices, should be the rightful spokesman for Generation Z but were I a member of that group the last guy I'd choose to voice my desires, hopes and concerns is Parkland student activist David Hogg. No normal person gets to choose these buffoons as they are propped up and promoted by Big Media honchos in NYC and (to a lesser extent) LA and Silicon Valley to serve the various interests media conglomerates deem important - one of those interests is gun control (broadly defined). And the "voices" these suits anoint are often horrible examples of the human species spouting bad ideas and proposing impossible solutions to what ails our society. Reflecting on the conventional candidates for this generational role gives me nausea - Lady Gaga is the voice of Millennials just like Kurt Cobain was the voice of Gen X just like Peter Coyote is the voice of the Viet Nam Generation. Even a guy who might be legitimately awarded the title voice of a generation probably isn't when you honestly appraise that generations total contribution to society and the multitude of views or actions associated with the slimy bunch who comprise it.  Now it falls on the Parkland kids to become the voice of their generation (for their parents sake):
Change won’t come easy, as they learned, but these students are the fierce voice of a generation on gun control. And they’re a ray of hope in an apathetic, gun-happy nation desensitized to violence.
We, the horrified adults, want to grab our kids and run from the gun madness. The students, armed with their fresh grief and outrage, are fighting for what they need from Tallahassee and Washington.
I do count myself among the "horrified adults" but I'm not prepared to run from the gun madness just yet. As KOTCB readers know (or should know) I could hardly be called a gun nut under normal conditions but I am a strong believer in 2nd Amendment rights as I am for most amendments to the constitution except for 16, 17 & 18 so that puts me on the wrong side of history as far as the D. Hogg's of this country are concerned. That is what horrifies me and I simply have no idea how to solve the mental problem these students suffer from because it's much bigger than me or Madison Ave. or The US Constitution or anything that I can think of. When I was a teenager (before smart phones and video gams) I would read comic books and stuck in the middle of my escapist fantasy would come a jarring shot of reality from Charles Atlas that would wipe the cocky smirk right off my face. You might enjoy day-dreaming about Captain America or Thor - God of Thunder but get real because sooner of later you're going to be on the beach and get your skinny "bag of bones" ass kicked unless you take real action and make yourself strong enough to fight back.


Not everyone will take the time and exert the energy required to become a body builder and for those lazy scarecrows a gun is a pretty good fall back tool for self preservation. So I lifted weights AND I learned to shoot a gun because I have a will to survive in the face of unforeseen and, often times, unwarranted threats*. But that's me - what's the answer for the David Hogg's of this world? Do we even want his type possessing firearms? There is an entire generation of these people born right around the 9/11 terrorist attack and in the subsequent years who have no living memory of a world without constant video surveillance, on-line data profiles, mobile phone geo-tracking and all the rest of the panopticon state we've been forced to live in for the past 17 years. All because of terror and drugs and bad ideas We the People allowed to be imported onto our shores over the past 50 years and here we are... watching hundreds of thousands march for our lives. It's pathetic but we did it to ourselves and only We can fix it.

Sleeping
The solution, I'm afraid, is going to require a cold, hard punch in the face from someone who takes the full measure of David Hogg and his fellow students and finds them lacking the intestinal fortitude and brawn to defend themselves. Someone like Nicolas Cruz but a lot smarter and more powerful - filled with contempt and hatred for their self-righteous preening and pampered existence who will think nothing of flushing their skinny little selves down the toilet bowl of history. It's not David Hogg's fault that he turned out the way that he did - it's our fault and we're all going to pay a horrible price for our decadence and indulgence. One of the saddest little marchers at the rally was a tyke holding a placard declaring his schools probation of peanuts and making the perfectly sound argument (to them) that if something as innocuous and commonplace as a BB&J sandwich can be effectively "banned" then so too can gun ownership be outlawed for health reasons. This is the world these children live in - NO PEANUT BUTTER! And they think it's normal. They think it's perfectly fine for a school to ban peanuts from the facility and nobody questions the capriciousness of this rule or, heaven forbid, violates the edict. David Hogg is in a deep sleep and like a groggy teenager on a cold and rainy Monday morning he wants to stay in bed and skip school - but he will be taught his lessons the hard way and sooner or later he'll find himself banished from the garden of Parkland to fight it out, naked and afraid, in the cruel world of those who have awoken.

*Note: Just for the record, no one is ever going to take away my guns. I'm always going to own a closet full of shotguns, rifles and pistols - forever. If the 2nd Amendment did get repealed I wouldn't voluntarily hand over my guns - law enforcement would have to come and take them. I'm not one of those who would put up a big fight and have some kind of Ruby Ridge shoot out with the Feds - if the cops could find my guns (which they would never be able to do) I'd let them take them. Then, once they were off my land, I would just 3D Print a couple new guns to replace what was taken from me. No biggie, I eat peanut butter too.

Very true. It seems each generation is getting dumber and easier for the elite to control.

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 Pop-Tarts Bowl: Frauds v. Fakers

In the Techno-Fascist Imperium the "Holidays" festivities start on Columbus Day, when the Halloween candy pops up, and end New Years Day with college football Bowl games, black-eyed peas and collard greens. To be clear, the Imperium doesn't celebrate Columbus Day, au contraire, the Indigenous Peoples' Day psyop has been pushed hard by the IC for the past 50 years of failure but the candy... THE CANDY. This year's IPD got turned up to eleven when the colonizers of America's 51st state got kidnapped, raped and murdered by some indigenous maniacs on Sukkot 10/7 and, as a result, soured the festive '23 Holiday mood. Hey, we soldiered on, as it were, and kept on celebrating while the world burned: Halloween - Big for children and weirdos. Thanksgiving - Focus on God, country and family. Hannukkah - Jewish assimilation. Xmas - Santa Claus and gifts. Kwanzaa - Black Lives Matter. I'd call them Happy Holidays if it wasn't  a neo-Nazi dog whistle  to vocal...

Lose This Skin Mika

I've been tempted to post something on the KOTCB blog since the day the Elvis from Queens tweeted about Mika's bleeding face and the ensuing media meltdown flooded the broadcast airways and Internet with gunk. But every frigg'n day @POTUS lets loose another tweet or 2 that usurps whatever I was going to say the day before so I've just been waiting and watching and loving every minute of it. With Sunday's napalm strike he might have finally brought them to their knees - but there's always tomorrow. The latest tweet was immediately condemned by journalists, who said Trump seemed to be promoting physical violence against the media, while a Republican lawmaker said the president was trying to "weaponize distrust" through his postings. "Promoting physical violence" or a tactic to "weaponize distrust" don't explain it folks - this is total war waged by a pachyderm with old, scared hide who's been beaten and whipped for so ...
