Bye, Lou

Breaking News from the world of Pseudo-Journalism, from the New York Times:

"Lou Dobbs, the longtime CNN anchor whose anti-immigration views have made him a TV lightning rod, said Wednesday that he is leaving the cable news channel effective immediately."

What a loss, huh? For those of you who don't speak media language, in this case, the term "lightning rod" can be roughly translated as "lying racist prick."

“I’m considering a number of options and directions,” Mr. Dobbs added. "

Want to take a guess how many of those "options" involve Fox News?

"CNN indicated that it would name a replacement for Mr. Dobbs on Thursday morning."

I hear that Gollum is available.

"Mr. Dobbs met with Roger Ailes, the chairman of the Fox News Channel, in September. At the time Mr. Dobbs was viewed as a potential hire for the Fox Business Network. But a Fox spokesperson said Wednesday, “We have not had any discussions with Lou Dobbs for Fox News or Fox Business.”

No discussions with Dobbs. Well, then, I must be wrong. After all, if the information came from Fox News, it must be true, right?

Well, good luck, Lou, wherever you end up. I'm sure it will be much more comfy, one rung closer to Hell.

Yeah, right, Basil. What would us assholes know about the truth, anyway?

Thanks for the constructive input. I'm sure we all appreciate your contribution to our national political discussion.

Well, at least you kept it brief and punchy. I give you points for that. Come back any time.

YOUR country? It's Our country and we want YOU to get out!

Just kidding there, Mr. Fed Up. Thanks for your valuable insight. Come back any time. Green Eagle feeds on people like you. Yes, we've heard it before- wingnuts are lacking in nutritional value, but what does a parrot know?

"Get out of my country!"?

Wow, this guy has his own country.
It's good to be king, isn't it?


However, my advice is:
Take the meds.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
