Jelly Fish: A Solitary Thought After Watching the gop-er Presidential Candidates Rumble Thursday Night...

...If these gop-er party candidates were ever 1/100th as rough, riled up, and competitive with the democrat party presidential nominee as they are when catfighting each other, the gop-ers might actually win more than one popular vote in a presidential election every 30 years.

Think about that one of these centuries, right-wingers, lest being relegated to being a secondary, regional party is an incessant aspiration.

The Hell You Say: "Obama Depicted as Murderous Devil in Moscow." But C'MON!...

...Obama never murdered no one.

South Carolina & Nevada: Hilary, Trump & Rubio the Big Winners. Meantime Good Riddance to the Bush Dynasty!

First and foremost: Bye Bye Bush. Here's hoping we never have to see another one of your family running for president ever again (if only we could get the Clinton and Obama families to follow along). The Bush name should be disqualified from running for president after the bad presidency of the old man and the disastrous presidency of W Bush (who, along with His Majesty King Nothing Obama, is one of two individuals who are the two worst presidents of my lifetime, even surpassing the disgusting likes of the late Jimmy Carter and Tricky Dick Nixon).

The ever-corrupt and dishonest Hilary the Hoary had a great day in Nevada. She beat old-fangled socialist grouch Bernie Sanders by something like 50 points in the black vote in a state where that vote represented only about 13% of the population. OUCH! What happens to Bernie in upcoming states where the black vote is much larger? I've maintained all along that I can see no way how Hilary doesn't get the democrat party nomination (sorry for the double negative, Jeeves), and absolutely nothing has changed in the Rager's assessment.

Next, Rubio the Robot, the young Waterboy from Florida, cemented a spot as the Anti-Trump candidate, recovering quite nicely from that bizarrely bad debate and primary performance he had in New Heroin. It looks like he'll finish second in South Carolina to the entertaining but crazy and cartoonish Trump, but edging out (or in a virtual tie with) Ted "Joe McCarthy" Cruz.  That's a terrible result for Cruz, BTW, who had looked to challenge Trump in South Carolina or AT LEAST finish a very strong second. Neither occurred. Think I heard Cruz won not a single county in the highly evangelical South Carolina. He's gotta be hurtin' more this weekend than even the so-called "Bern"!

Finally, while neither of these two races is over (particularly on the gop-er side), it looks very much this weekend like a Trump-Hilary matchup this fall.  (I believe no gop-er has ever failed to get the nomination after winning New Heroin and South Carolina, as Trump now has). In other words, another rotten choice for America from these two pathetic, extremist, rot-gut parties. My favorite dude, None of the Above (i.e., voting for just about any third party candidate on the ballot), has never looked so good.

Look At This GOOF

In recent days, we've seen Hilary the Hoary, in no particular order:

- Bark like a dog uncontrollably at a rally;

- Speak in a fake "black accent" to Al Sharpton;

- Dispatch old battle axe Madeleine Albright to tell women they'll have "a special place in hell" if they don't vote for Hilary;

- Have yet another extreme coughing fit while trying to speak; and

- Have her minions blame all of her current woes on various capricious media, sexist, and right-wing "conspiracies."

I'm left to wonder: Are all these erratic behaviors and questionable decisions attributable merely to Hilary being really, really, really old?

OR, is there also (or perhaps instead) a certain level of advancing mental dementedness rearing a rather ugly face?

But whether it's the former or the latter, please keep this individual leashed and the heck away from my dog.

Today's Death of Antonin Scalia: Easily the Most Historically Significant Event of the Obama Years and Probably Since 9-11...

Scalia's death gives Obama the opportunity to try to transform the U.S. Supreme Court into a 5-4 leftist majority in what's left of his time in office.  Even if Obama fails, the 2016 presidential election becomes an extremely high-stakes political slimeball referendum on the Supreme Court.

Either way, God help us.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/supreme-court-justice-antonin-scalia-dies-at-79/2016/02/13/effe8184-a62f-11e3-a5fa-55f0c77bf39c_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-banner-high_scalia-535pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory

Postscript:  And get ready now for what may become one of the nastiest political fights in American history over whether Obama's inevitable leftist nominee will be acted upon by the Senate and confirmed during the long final 11 months of Obama.  Again, God help us.

"Economic Catastrophe Close" for socialist Venezuela, Leaving His Majesty King Nothing, Sean Penn, & Danny Glover All Utterly Dejected...

...And it doesn't reflect so well, either, on today's democrat party, which flirts this year with making old-fangled socialist grouch Bernie Sanders its nominee for president.

But I know, I know, leftist 20 percenters: The only reason socialism and far left policies have failed time and time again during the course of human history is that American leftists have never been the ones in charge of them, right?

Sort of like the disastrous DeBlasio regime in the Big Apple. And the economic malaise and debt of His Majesty's nearly 8-year reign. And the depravity of the budgets and deficits of California state and local governments.

If only we could get some Americans in charge of this socialism stuff, it would all be different!  All they need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and all would be fine! Man, I swear I'm gettin' too old for this shit.

And ya know, maybe I should stop referring to the right-wingers as the ones who are deranged. After all, as funnyman Bob Einstein once said of insanity: It's doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Or was that Juan Epstein?

Pig in a Ballot: "600 lb. Hog Shows Up at New Hampshire Polling Place"! But I Cries Foul (or at least Swine)...

...Chris Christie should not be allowed to vote in the primary.  He's from Jersey for chrissakes!

https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2016/02/09/wayward-pig-shows-new-hampshire-polling-place/chwdyHFkMG4SlBmsjYoOjO/story.html

Postscript: As the New Heroin results come in tonight, it looks like Christie could've used his own vote, since he didn't get too many others, and he has now been cut out of the next gop-er debate due to his putrid NH performance. As for the other NH results:

Nothing too groundbreaking (and far from the "Revolution" that Drudge proclaimed, since party loyalists bucking party establishment for alternative partisans is about as "revolutionary" as Hatfield rats movin' over to the McCoy estate for a better taste of cheese):  The two huge favorites Trump and socialist Sanders won as expected, and after his terrible last debate, Rubio came in behind even Kasich and Bush.  (Lack of) Fallout...

I still see no way the corrupt, ever-dishonest Hilary doesn't get the democrat party nomination, but the gop-ers remain very wide open amongst the crazy Trump, unlikable Cruz, and dare I say Mr. Dynasty Default Dumbass, Bush. Get ready for yet another awful pair of choices from these two rotten parties this November, my fellow Independents. 'Course, I look forward to votin' for my favorite candidate, None of the Above, as usual. You should join me there for once.

Can We Just Put Iowa Out to Pasture? Regardless of the Hilary & socialist Bernie Coin Flips, Iowa Had One Big Winner Monday Night: Waterboy Turned New "Comeback Kid," Marco Rubio...

First a simple truth: Only a country so messed up as to be incessantly controlled by slimeball parties like the democrat party and gop-er party would permit two very small potatoes states like Iowa and New Hampshire to control and ultimately decide every single one of our so-called presidential candidates every four years.  I, for one, wish we could float Iowa and New Hampshire right on out to sea, down the Mississippi, up the old Erie Canal, or through any other viable method that appears somewhat humane.

That aside, the big story of Monday's Iowa caucus that didn't relate to coin flips on the leftist 20 percenters' side of things was one Marco Rubio, and not Ted "Joe McCarthy Clone" Cruz's minor upset of Trump.  The Donald should still win New Hampshire and be competitive for the near future, along with Cruz. Nope, the big winner was Rubio, who way over-performed the expectations of most and finished a very strong third right behind Trump.  Could Rubio take this momentum and pull a New Hampshire upset of Trump (since I can't see Cruz doing so)? Could be most interesting.  And regardless, this is probably gonna be a very long haul on the right-winger side of things.

And what better news could there be for the gop-er loyalists in general (even if many of the "anti-establishment" among them don't realize it)? That's because I think Rubio easily gives the gop-ers the best chance of beating Hilary (although she'd still be a decided favorite), and much more so than the entertaining but crazy Trump and the completely unlikable Cruz. Ya might wanna keep an eye on the thirsty Cuban from Florida, democrat party.

Glad You're Around to Tell Us These Things: "Federal Reserve Says Growth in U.S. Has Slowed"...

Really?  Anemic economic growth this decade? First I've heard about anything like that.

Gets me thinking: Someone should bestow this Federal Reserve with a now-worthless University of Missouri journalism degree and commission said Reserve to write wire headlines for news stories across the country.

Then I'd look forward to what we'd get next from the Fed -- likely profound gems such as "Stifling National Debt Threatens Nation's Future," "Obama Not Actually a Moderate," "Trump Trends Crazy," "Hilary's Really Really Really Old," and "That Breeze In Here Is Probably Because the Front and Back Doors Are Open."

After all, while we may not need a Weatherman, we could certainly use some more of these helpful Fed pronouncements to know which way the wind blows.

No Thanks: Former Big Apple Mayor Mikey Bloomberg "Exploring Plans for Independent Presidential Bid" If socialist Bernie Sanders Gets democrat party Nomination...

While one of these years I would greatly welcome an actual viable Independent candidate for president (not to mention our first Jewish president), I'm sorry to say that the 73-year-old Mayor Bloomberg ain't it.

First, there's little that's Independent about Bloomberg, who's more of a leftist, straight down the line, than he is anything. His past record of cutting debt and deficits in the Big Apple is a positive, but not much else.

And I'd think (although for different reasons) that American leftist 20 percenters (the base of the modern democrat party) might be on my side here, since there's a chance that a Bloomberg "Independent" run -- with Mikey as a sort of Bernie-Lite likely to steal more votes from the democrat party than gop-ers -- could cost the democrat party the election and hand it to the gop-ers (in much the same way Ross Perot cost the gop-ers the election in 1992, and how a Trump "Independent" run could cost the gop-ers the election this year).

Put another way: Very few gop-er devotees would vote for this guy, so who would be voting for him? Maybe a lot of Independents, but maybe also a lot of democrat party people.

Finally, thoughts on 8 years of a Bloomberg presidency:  I see Bloomberg paying only campaign lip service to cutting debt and deficits, leaving us with a healthy $25-30 Trillion National Debt at the end of his regime. And as a special added attraction, for 8 years all Americans will get to slurp their sugary soft drinks out of 16-ounce cups. Please do us a favor, and just stay home, old man.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/24/nyregion/bloomberg-sensing-an-opening-revisits-a-potential-white-house-run.html?_r=0

Postscript:  This whole conversation is admittedly quite academic, in all likelihood, since Hilary, despite recent stumbles, remains the odds-on favorite for the democrat party nomination, and it appears there's no chance Bloomberg runs if she's in the fold. I guess that would be one positive of the corrupt, dishonest old ball-and-chain getting her "inevitable" nomination.

This'll Teach Him to Try to Break Out the Hoosegow: Kansas Man Given "128-Year Sentence for Attempted Prison Escape"...

Although actually, an argument could be made that this con (52-year-old Scott Gilbert) got off pretty easy peazy Japaneazy. If he'd been Andy Dufresne, and if he'd been caught after breaking out of the Shawshank in the 1960s, you know there's no way he gets off with just a century and a third of extra time...

Either Cap'n Hadley would've beaten him to death down in the hole, or Warden Norton would've had his head blown off by a tower guard out in the yard. Or, they would've just fed him to The Sisters.

But alas, the times they are a' changin', and this Gilbert should be counting his lucky stars. See ya in 2144, pal.

"Shock" Headline from Drudge This Week:"[r]epubl*cans Woo Whites"!

Geez, Stop the Press there, Matt.

And further, if you do ever discover that gop-ers are trying to "woo" anyone other than whites, please bury the story and keep it off your website...

That's because if I ever see such a story for the first time in my life, I may fall dead from a heart attack right here on the spot.

Easy Targets: "Elementary Students to Stop Reciting God Bless America After ACLU Threatens Legal Action." Why Doesn't the ACLU Ever Go After the Big Boys?

For example: "God Bless America," of course, is routinely performed during Major League Baseball games (sometimes with a big-boobed old lady standing next door), including in the many MLB ballparks that are publicly owned -- where attendees must hear the song, just like at the public school at issue (link below), lest they frantically scurry their way to the protection of the shithouse.

So why do we never hear about the ACLU goin' after that big dog, MLB? The terms hypocrites and chickenshits immediately come to mind, since perhaps the ACLU ain't so interested in hitting targets that would actually have the resources to defend themselves and fight back???

But I gots a suggestion for these apparently highly choosy litigators of the ACLU: Maybe you wouldn't have to fight the MLB ballparks and teams all the way to an all-or-nothing resolution? Maybe seek out some of those squishy "compromise" or "grand bargain" concepts that you leftists and your media are always trumpeting (i.e., give them most all of what they want, and they'll toss any dissenters a few bones)?

Here's my compromising thought for such a bargain: First, the ACLU agrees to permit performance of "God Bless America" at the ballgame, but only on the evening of the first Saturday of every other month (sort of like the Hilary Clinton debate schedule)...

In turn, MLB agrees to replace the song during all other games with a haunting rendition of Simon and Garfunkel's "America" -- a nice little song with nary a single reference to that awful G-Word (even if the song does single out a man wearing a gabardine suit, which ridicule some may find offensive).

So can we broker a deal over here? Have I found some common ground between the the Abner Doubledays and the asshats? Please: Just elect the Rager grand-bargain-striker-in-chief, and do it yesterday.

Twisted Sisters: dnc "Under Pressure to Remove" Chairman Patty "Wasserman" Simpson Amid Dumb Remarks & "Charges of Favoritism" Toward Hilary. But Never Fear, a Replacement Awaits!

No, Patty "Wasserman" Simpson ain't exactly the most popular figure in the ol' democrat party these days. Always prone to making imbecilic, wacko remarks that provide easy fodder for the right-wingers (e.g., this week's statement accusing 20-somethings of "complacency" on the abortion issue), the sour-pussed "Wasserman" Simpson has proved equally adept at abysmal fundraising efforts during her putrid tenure as Chairman of the dnc.

But while the leftists 20 percenters (the kooky fringe, frightening base of the democrat party) might be able to get past such trivial grievances, not so much so when it comes to the Chairman's obvious and rather pathetic efforts to coddle Hilary (no hero to the leftists) right on through to the party's nomination -- from lending no support whatsoever to leftist champion Bernie Sanders, to burying (and thereby protecting) Hilary with a short schedule of only a handful of mostly Saturday and Sunday night party debates.

However, should the party decide to wax "Wasserman" Simpson like so many chain-smoking cult members on a bad episode of "The Leftovers," there's a very perfect replacement right in front of the leftists' little angry faces: Patty's twin sister, Selma "Click" Simpson (pictured immediately above), that is.

Unlike Patty, Selma has already (and very recently) demonstrated her leftist bona fides as a University of Missouri media professor, famously shouting, "I Need Some Muscle Over Here!", as she tried to give the boot to journalists covering student protests in public areas on campus (damn pesky First Amendment!).

To put it bluntly, Selma brings to the table all of the better qualities of her sister (despicable disposition, brooding creativity, etc.), while perhaps making up for -- how shall I put it -- Patty's increasingly thin leftist credentials.

In other words, you gots a potential Star-in-the-making on your hands, democrat party. Whether you use Selma at the dnc, or as Obama's next press secretary, or for some other similarly nefarious purpose, put this crazy broad to work, will ya!

Unfair Comparison: I Am Gettin' SICK AND TIRED of Ted Cruz Being Likened to Barry Goldwater...

Sorry, but Goldwater is entirely the wrong right-winger gop-er to compare Cruz to...

A much better comparative piece to Cruz is Joseph McCarthy. Those two gop-er greaseballs could've been separated at birth! If not for the intervening 60 years, that is.

Take a gander below for yourself if you don't believe me.  [Ed. Note: Cruz is the one in the color photo]...

Life Imitating Literary Horror: "Politically Correct Universities Killing Free Speech," and "Inclusive Terminology Guide at Mizzou Raises Awareness of 'Adultism'"...

...It rather reminds me of a passage from a most depressing book (written almost 70 years ago) that seems to resemble, increasingly, the direction where things are heading this century:

"With those children, he thought, that wretched woman must lead a life of terror. Another year, two years, and they would be watching her night and day for symptoms of unorthodoxy. Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it. The songs, the processions, the banners, the hiking, the drilling with dummy rifles, the yelling of slogans, the worship of Big Brother -- it was all a sort of glorious game to them. 

All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children. And with good reason, for hardly a week passed in which the Times did not carry a paragraph describing how some eavesdropping little sneak -- 'child hero' was the phrase generally used -- had overheard some compromising remark and denounced his parents to the Thought Police."  [All emphasis added]

And if that ain't a cheerful holiday thought to brighten your Xmas week, then my name ain't Ebenezer.  But never forget, kids: Group-think and authoritarianism, whether they come out of the right or the left, are the incessant enemies of free human beings.
