Well trump finally came out and said it. No, it's not his birther statement, I'll get to that in a moment. This is about how he's sees the media.      While trying to explain away his man crush on Vladamir Putin last Monday Trump stated, "They said he's killed reporters. And I don't like that. I'm totally against that. And by the way, I hate some of these people. But I would never kill them. I hate them," he said. "These people — honestly, I'll be honest, I'll be honest — I would never kill them. I would never do that."     If you're wondering why there wasn't footage of journalists dancing in the streets after that statement it's because they know that 70% of what comes out of his mouth is bullshit. (Actually it's 71.4% but my affinity for even numbers works in his favor this time.) Still, that's somewhat good news. Personally I've always wanted to believe he wouldn't kill journalists but there w...

    I want to give a big shout-out to the women who get paraded on TV as Donald Trump spokespersons. Thank you for making my job much more enjoyable because yours really sucks. Trying to explain away an ever changing Donald Trump political landscape has to be exhausting. I hope Donald is paying you extremely well. (Up front of coarse, there is a track record of nonpayment of services.)     Scottie Nell Hughes started out being the go to woman for the campaign and she actually did a pretty good job............at providing skits for SNL. She had to take a back seat eventually and was replaced by "resting bitch face" Katrina Pierson. (Seriously, here she is watching her favorite cartoons.) Katrina does a good job also, it's almost as if she was born to be a shill. It can't be easy to go on TV and have a laughing news person ask "WTF are you talking about?" on an almost daily basis.      But this weekend Donald had to bring out the bi...

    “We have a wonderful OPPORTUNITY here folks, that may never come again, at the RIGHT time. Donald Trump’s campaign statements, if nothing else, have SHOWN that ‘our views’ are NOT so ‘unpopular’ as the Political Correctness crowd have told everyone they are!”  Rocky Suhayda, Chairman of the American Nazi Party (and obvious caps-lock lover)                                                                           *******     "Do you think Trump voters are your voters?"     "Well, of course they are! Because I represent the ideas of preserving this country and the heritage of this...

    I've been wanting to write about The Donald for a few weeks now, but quite frankly, I can't keep up. Before I turn the computer on after work each day I wonder to myself , who did he verbally attack today? Or, I wonder what he whined about or lied about. Well, yesterday he hit the trifecta and lucky me it's a Sunday and I have a little time on my hands.     Right out of the gate he couldn't help but disparage a grieving mother. Sure the Khans called him out Thurs. when they asked what sacrifices he's made for the country and he could have stuck to his original response which was, “I think I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. I’ve created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures. I’ve done― I’ve had― I’ve had tremendous success. I think I’ve done a lot.” (Wow, I never looked at going to work every day to feed and house myself as a sacrifice. Thanks Donald, please pity poor me and everybody e...

    The Cincinnati Prosecutor has scheduled a big news conference on Monday to announce his decision on whether charges, if any, will be filed against the parents of the boy who fell in the gorilla cage. I hate to say it, but I kind of chuckled and just shook my head when I heard that. Charge them with what? Child endangerment? Not likely. Taking your child to the zoo isn't necessarily dangerous. Negligence? A possibility, but again not likely. What really qualifies as negligence?                                                                           +++++++     Two-year-old Kiyan Shelton found...

    History is an odd creature. Although it you can't change it, it is none the less a living and breathing thing. What has happened has actually happened, that much we know, but history can provide the how and the why. And it also provides a means of looking into the aftermath of a historical event.     Take President Clinton and his tryst with an intern. It was an extremely egregious act and he let down many of his supporters, but to be fair, history has shown us that at least 7 presidents before him had their own little escapades and one even made a baby in his trysts. They never had to stand before a judiciary committee and lie about it though, thus we had an impeachment process.     In an impeachment the House acts as a prosecutor and the Senate acts as the jury. The prosecution was led by the House Speaker at the time, Newt Gingrich, who history has shown was at the time cheating on his own wife, the woman who he cheated with while he was marri...

    Poor Cleveland. Once again they try to rise above above the stigma as an ugly city and end up getting the long end of the shit stick.     It's not often that a city gets to showcase itself on the national stage, let alone on an international stage, and it was their hope that the GOP convention would do just that. Now their moment to shine is losing it's luster on an almost daily basis. It's a damned shame really. I've always had a good time on every visit to Cleveland, whether it was for concerts or football. The people are friendly, they have great working class bars and it's pretty easy to get around. The GOP convention doesn't deserve Cleveland. And Cleveland definitely doesn't deserve the crap headed it's way.     With the convention comes some Federal money for crowd control equipment and Cleveland saw this as a great opportunity for some much needed things they could use well past the convention. Congress approved $50 million for such thing...
