I KNEW I hadn’t quite seen it yet…but I sensed it was coming…and I’d SURELY know it when I saw it.  Well, last week we saw the political discourse in this country take its final swirl down the drain of indecency.  Who REALLY knows, but you gotta have conviction in life, so I’m making the call right here and now.  Like a needle-scarred drug addict succumbing to an intervention, or an alcoholic, family and job pissed away, clutching desperately to that last, near empty bottle of hooch…we have hit ROCK BOTTOM.  Nowhere to go but up, right?   Don’t hold your breath…but feel free to hold your nose.

Sometimes, life DOES imitate art.  There’s an old Seinfeld episode where George Costanza does the EXACT OPPOSITE of what one would think is the right thing to do in every situation….and with smashing success.  OK, delusional as I am at times, I know it’s just a TV show.  However, that single episode provided Donald Trump the exact template with which to defeat The Hildabeast…her own screaming ineptness, shortcomings, and absent message notwithstanding.  The coastal elites were all too happy to frolic behind the Pied Piper of Politics, Barry Obama, in his quest to transform Peoria into Paris….and continued to skip in unison as the baton was firmly slapped into Hillary’s little sausage fingers.  But flyover country had another idea.  You know, the kind of people that stand up when the national anthem is playing?  As promised, The Donald is simply channeling Costanza and doing the opposite of every Obama policy…mercifully flushing away the stench of eight years of flaccid, progressive rule.  SOMEBODY GET THE PLUNGER!  Ew.

I always like to take pride in the fact that I’m a guy who can admit when he’s wrong.  OK, my better half won’t agree with that, but she’s ONE person, so can’t I legitimately dismiss HER opinion as simply anecdotal?  Anyway, just when I thought these Libs could not climb the ladder of hypocrisy any further, I realized I was more wrong than the guy who mistakenly sent Nancy Pelosi a Mensa application in the mail.  I mean, Jack and the Beanstalk has nothing on THIS crew as far as reaching new heights.  And what’s worse, it’s blatant and in your face…like an Antifa fascist hurling a brick though the local florist’s window.

Well, another first.  You MAY have noticed (probably not, but let’s stay with that thought)…that for the first time in the 14 months I’ve been writing this blog, a week has passed where I failed to post something.  While I have published blog posts previously when I was traveling, it just didn’t happen for me last week.  I was in Colorado bingeing on hiking, brewery hopping, dining…and rumor has it, a trip to the local cannabis dispensary…strictly for social research purposes, of course.  It IS Colorado, after all.  Ya know…when in Rome.  And to my great dismay, the world of news and politics kept right on chugging along just fine without me.  So much for what’s left of my very fragile ego.  Anyway, like a couple of old friends sharing a few magnificently hoppy IPA’s at their favorite brew pub, time for us to catch up… Continue reading →
