RE: Some comments on your “Profile in Courage”, I dare say almost “A Man For All Seasons”, perhaps “The Crucible”, editorial endorsement of modern American Liberal Gary Farmer for the Florida Senate.

Ms. O,

Sometimes you make it too easy.

Your editorial endorsement of Florida State Senator Gary Farmer makes for a pre-dawn “target-rich environment”.

Empirical evidence in re Senator Farmer strongly suggests that he played football far too long without a helmet.

If, as you say, he understands “the need to address problems caused by a rising sea level”, will you let me in on his “secret plan”? Other than trying to get the Feds out of the flood insurance business, a decision to be made in D.C., what can he do in Tallahassee? And the Canute model is broken, remember? Also, in the case of barrier islands versus the ocean it makes sense to bet on the ocean. Do you think Trump made it worse by pulling out of the Paris Climate chazzerai?

Congressman Ron DeSantis referred to Democratic Socialist candidate Alexandria Ocasio Frito Bandido as “that girl”. The lock step lemmings who make up the modern American Liberal press reacted as if he called her a “feckless cunt” or if he carried a severed head or he stopped on his way to his office for a hummer from his daughter.

As soon as she decides whether to adopt the traditional Cuban model of scientific socialism or the more innovative Venezuelan template she will cement her place as a wing-nut moon bat. 

Will someone tell me how many polar bears she drowned on her 10 trips a week from the south Bronx to Westchester County to go to school? Do you suppose she used plastic straws? Ulysses would envy her if he knew.

Back to Gary.

“They know 60% of parents don’t want guns in the hands of teachers.” Has anyone told him that 62% of Florida’s voters opposed same sex marriage? And the difference is….?

Further, you say he “sent shock waves through the Democratic community” when he suggested that Senator Lauren Book might not have the time to be the Senate leader “because she has twins”. Shouldn’t she have maternity leave times two?

At least he didn’t say she was “feckless”. I hope.

PS – In the Letters to the Editor section a Mr. Ed Rubin of Boynton Beach says that “Medicare and Medicaid will be cut by $1.5 trillion”. Then he says that will increase the budget “as the United States borrows more money”. Run that past me again. Cutting the budget causes us to borrow more money? Maybe Mr. Rubin has a future as a financial advisor to Chiquita Banana, AKA the Bronx Boobette.
I have in front of me a Federal petit jury questionnaire. The first question, the very first question, asked is if I am a US citizen. Indeed, the first question. As George Costanza said, “That’s not fair”. Is it?

Ms. O,

It’s probably a bent hobin pin or a frazzled frammis but the Romantic in me is thinking that it’s further proof that the “Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy” still wants to silence me by putting the dreaded modern American Liberal malochio kibosh on my beloved printer.

Because of this intervention – Collusion? Perhaps – I am unable to communicate directly with some of your mini Op-Ed contributors, all of whom are identified by the shared belief the Bernie Sanders will repeal the laws governing gravity, that Pocahontas Warren lied about her Injun background but who cares, that Curley Biden is a friggin’ moron but so what, that “Midnight Basketball” didn’t get a fair shot last time, and that all it will take to reach the horizon this time will be if enough people, both guys and gals, of good will promise to work really hard, and I mean really, really hard, to get those rainbow stew bushes on the unicorn ranch to give us 6 crops a year. As Fred Kite, noted British Labour Leader, used to say, “All them corn fields and ballet at night”. Isn’t Nancy Pelosi, a mAL, a noted mAL, still officially neutral on whether illegal immigrants should be given sanctuary if they shit on the streets of San Francisco?

Shades of the hugely successful War on Poverty!

If I were to say that the task is Sisyphean would that make me a deplorable elitist?

Herewith my list of jackasses, morons, grifters, and buffoons.

#1 – Mitchell Berger, Esq. – An environmental virtue signaler whose flaccid attempt at “wall” humor demands that he must keep his day job. Please ask him who paid for the wall that keeps radical Islamic terrorists – As if there is any other kind! – from slaughtering idyllic Israelis or peripatetic Gentiles. Also, ask him if he has shut off all the A/Cs in his offices to show his solidarity with drowning polar bears and America’s newly discovered endangered species, the San Diego fairy shrimp? I know that he opposes a wall on the Rio Grande but how about one keeping les merdes du Quebec out? Oops! I almost forgot the soon to be mourned dusky gopher frog who will be an addendum when George Carlin’s “Earth Day” Youtube is updated. Him and T-Rex. Gone but not forgotten. 

#2 – Ex Senator Eleanor Sobell – She said “thousands of juveniles”, all Broward County students, “went to jail for misdemeanors”. “Thousands”?  Can I see the numbers please? Can I see the schools they attended? How many of them were non-White? How many of them were here illegally? Why hasn’t this wimg-nut broad been Baker Acted? What a boob! At the very least, retroactive tubal ligation is required. She’s a big fan of Margaret Sanger, isn’t she?

#3 – Michael DeLucca, President of the Broward Regional Health Planning, and exactly what in the name of straightforward obfuscatory persiflage and Jabberwocky is that, said Starbucks should be canonized a la Mother Teresa, for banning plastic straws. “Such stupidity, sir,” to quote the great Dr. Johnson, “is not to be found in nature.”

If the Broward Regional Health Council has something, anything, to do with health, I suggest a far easier target. This plague, soon to be an epidemic, of “single use plastic” is growing like Topsy. Have you investigated the trash generated by any health care facility? For the sake of drowning polar bears, ravaged tortoises, perpetually endangered and bullied manatees, the beleaguered delhi smelt, the Javert-like pursued furbish louse wort, and the newly discovered, hanging on by its fingertips – Scratch that. They don’t have fingertips – San Diego fairy shrimp. Hospitals must ban all single use plastic devices. No more plastic syringes, the answer is obvious No more plastic catheters. No more plastic stents. No more plastic wrappings for gauze pads or surgical sponges, no more plastic heart valves. I have 3 titanium joints, each of which is, you guessed it, wrapped in plastic. I have a scleral buckle on my left eye, made of, right again, plastic. My pacemaker and defibrillator are made of, do I have to say it, plastic. I have had 6 kidney operations, 3 to put it in and 3 to take it out. It is a 10-inch piece of, am I repeating it, plastic. You are unconscious when it is put in but wide awake when it is removed. I have them available for inspection. I had a melanoma removed from my occipital bone. The dressing was a piece of left-over material from when Cristo was in his hey-day. It is also known as plastic. The staples securing it were not. The not quite final indignity was my head being wrapped like a half-assed Flying Nun, with the wound protecting wimple being made, and I can’t make this up, of plastic.

Any suggestions as to what can take its place?

But I digress.

Your editorial on the 1st Amendment has a provocative sib-title. “Sit down, shut up” was the dog whistle commands for deplorables before the species was identified by Wide-Bottomed Hillary. “Sit down and shut up” was an old-fashioned way of preventing AIDS, remember? That’s not what you meant, was it? 

3 separate times, men with badges and guns, accompanied by the full majesty of the law, have questioned me about things I wrote to or about elected officials.

The first one was begun by then State Senator Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. This Medusa-coifed Hecate likes to use her shit lip on her adversaries but forgets the words to “Stick and Stones” when it is incoming. Then she calls the cops. I sent everything I ever wrote to her to Tom Fiedler, then the Editorial Page Editor of the Miami Herald for his review. I told him if he found one obscene or threatening word I would apologize to her and never write to or about her again. She is still, after all these years, my favorite default piñata.

Agent Thomas and Agent MIneva, both of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, “good” cop and “bad” cop respectively, came to my house to investigate my libel and/or sedition. They succeeded in scaring my wife. The “good” cop, Agent Thomas, said that he and everybody in his group “loved” my stuff. The “bad” cop, Agent Mineva, said I should stop writing to all public officials. Honest.

 It pays to be from Bayonne, NJ. Lessons like this are learned at your mother’s breast.

Does that constitute a “slippery slope” or the more treacherous “chilling effect”?

Broward Sheriff’s Detective Joe Kessling, whose wife was a Palm Beach County Detective, came to my house at the behest of Elections Bureau Supervisor Miriam Oliphant because of something I wrote. It wasn’t like I was walking around carrying her severed head or suggesting that she was having sex with her children or something so fittingly modern American Liberal. The term you can’t quite get your arms around is “eclectic indignation”. 

The first thing he said to me was “You’re not in trouble”. I said, mindful of John Peter Zenger, “What do you mean I’m not in trouble? You have a badge and a fucking gun. What do you me ‘I’m not in trouble?’”

Let me add 2 things about Miriam Oliphant:

#1 – She was the dream candidate of every modern American Liberal voter in Broward County. She was an attractive, well dressed, superficially educated [degrees in education, not the subject taught, don’t count] well coifed, and more presentable than most people in general and NegroColoredAfricanAmericans in particular provided she kept her mouth Gorilla-Glued, stapled, and welded because she was, and I’m being charitable here, because she is sooooo

#2 – Homerically dumb. She is so Goddamn dumb that she made my hair hurt and my fingernails curl backwards. If you gave her a map and a Life Line she still couldn’t find her shapely ass using both hands, a GPS, and matching magnets, one on her hip and one in her gloved hand.

I asked Detective Kessling why he was wearing a long sleeve shirt. “Boss’s orders”, he said, with the Boss being Sheriff Ken Jenne, AKA Emperor Kenneth the Short.
By the by, Jenne is the only man in America who wanted to repeal the 3rd Amendment. 

Palm Beach County Commissioner Addie Green would, could, and did steal a hot stove and the pennies off a dead man’s eyes for which she went to jail. Before she went inside I wrote to her cataloging some of her public shortcomings. In due course I was contacted by a Palm Beach County Detective with whom I struck an immediate rapport. He asked me if there weren’t enough feather merchants and 5 Finger shoppers in Broward to keep me busy. I agreed.

These charlatans have several things in common:

A – They are all card-carrying, fire breathing modern American Liberals.
B – Despite “Congress shall make no law…”, they sent the cops to my house because of something I wrote.
C – Repeat ‘A’

Did I say they were all modern American Liberals?

One of them went to jail. Another one should have but her diminished capacity, despite a Master’s degree – Should that be so gender specific? - precluded any prosecution. The 3rd one, the meaner than cat shit one, should have been bastinadoed prior to be strapadoed. Save for the 8th Amendment she would have.

Speech is either free or it isn’t. It’s 10 yards for a first down. Not almost 10 yards You are either pregnant or not. The tumor is either malignant or it is not. If Kathy Griffin can walk around with a severed head of il magnifico, if Robert DeNiro can say “Fuck Trump” – Why is there no YouTube memory of a male, a non-finochio male, saying “Fuck Hillary”? – I can say Hillary Clinton has an Oliver Hardy ass and that Liawatha Warren is a lying sack of eel shit. 

And who says “Trousered Apes” are an endangered species?

The above is an example of tu quoque wondering into argumentum ad hominem. That’s 2/3rds of the Trivium. Jeepers, as an old dead Greek said before he was old and dead,

“FREE MEN SPEAK WITH FREE TONGUES”

PS – Sorry I used “Topsy”. The Word Police have designated it “racist”. [I wonder what they would make of Dick Gregory’s autobiography? Do you suppose if I went to the African-American Library I should ask for it by name or would that be a foolish display of White Privilege?] And when are you going to publish those Mohammed cartoons? I think you have published a picture of “Piss Christ”? The title of Dick Gregory’s book? Send a SASE.

RE: “Solar Energy a Viable Option” – A comment or two on the Op-Ed about doing away with oil, gas, coal, and nuclear energy in addition to making us a better people.

Ms. O’Hara,

Before I get to whether “Solar Energy is a Viable Option” or is just modern American Liberal balderdash, poppycock, and tommyrot consisting entirely of tautologies, la di da shibboleths, and endless non-seqjuiturs, I must ask why the rules that apply to oil and gas executives [full disclosure requires me to say that I once was one] and coal barons [ditto, also] don’t apply to Lynn Jurich, the CEO of SUNRUN, “the nation’s largest dedicated provider of solar, storage and energy services” and the author of the screed.

Whenever an energy executive, particularly one who is in the employ of a huge fossil fuel company, is quoted there is always the subtle, read-between-the-lines, semi-detached monitum that the author drowns polar bears before they can eat baby seals, that he makes manatees into sushi, and that he promotes both teen-age bullying and obesity and, to make it worse, he is not at all moved by eleemosynary motives, and that he pursues filthy lucre, the spawn of Mammon, the bitch Goddess who suckles at the cold teat of profit.

Ms. Jurich wants to sell everybody in America at least 8 solar panels, each of which comes with a consumer-friendly maintenance contract. She even provides her NASDAQ symbol – RUN. If I remember the rules that run NASDAQ it was understood that intentionally non-profit entities need not apply.

Good luck to her and her company.

Don’t forget the Mark Twain rule of investing. Buy a stock and when it goes up sell it. If it doesn’t go up, don’t buy it.

Speaking if solar panels and clean energy and renewable resources and virtue signaling all the good intentions that drive people to not only reach but leap over the horizon…. was Boss Jurich or anyone at the company and its outside lawyers, accountants, consultants, and contractors ever and in any way, however tangentially, connected, associated, or involved with Solyndra? Could you ask her whatever happened to the unsold inventory of their really fine, for Chinese made, solar panels.

As to modern American Liberal “balderdash, poppycock, and tommyrot”, I suggest an in-depth perusal of the SUNRUN 10K might provide some succour.


I almost forgot. Have you turned off all the A/Cs at Sun Sentinel World HQ? Somebody has to set an example, to show us the way, lest we all perish, right?

PS – You have a Page 1 story, complete with pictures, about the growing problem of sea weed. Let me add, and let us be thankful for small blessings, that it is both organic and bio-degradable. The follow-up story says that “no one knows the direct cause of the seaweed increase”. This is said after you list several reasons, all given in ex cathedra style, as to what caused this man-made pox. Regardless of the exact reason, and with the earth in the balance who needs metaphysical certitude, we know the real reason our terrestrial roulette pistol now has no empty chambers. When Trump left the Paris Peace Conference he doomed us. Maybe it was the Paris Climate Accord. Whatever

RE: Some comments on your Woe is me. Alas & Alack and the sky is really, really falling this time editorial on that old, reliable modern American Liberal chestnut stare decisis. And speaking of turds in the punch bowl, would it make me a cad to point out that on Page 3B – local news – you have a news story with the come-hither headline “Man Indicted for Murder of his Unborn Child”?

Ms O’Hara,

All hail Justice Ginsburg!

Senator Patrick Leahy – [D-VT] – the ohmadanish & hypocritical R.R.C. [Retired Roman Catholic] had an intriguing colloquy with RBG during her confirmation process. “If I ask you about Roe v Wade you won’t tell me, will you?”, asked this Granite State buffoon. “That’s right. I won’t”, replied the nominee.

She later said that she was “sorry” that the Supreme Court had decided Roe v Wade. She wished the political process had been allowed to play out. Perhaps, she thought, that might have tempered the ongoing cantankerous acrimony.

A brief digression:

“Black Lives Matter” turns a blind eye to Chicago, the charnel house by Lake Michigan, the Illinois abattoir when it comes to Blacks killing Blacks. I guess Black on Black killing is easy to condone if you are faced with the God-awful number of abortions performed on Black women since Roe v Wade. Between 35% and 40% of the abortions since 1973 have been performed on women of color. As many as 25 million – that’s 25,000,000 – Willie Hortons, Maxine Waters, O.J. Simpsons, Andre Watts, Colin Kaepernicks, Herman Cains, H. Rap Browns, and Thomas Sowells have gone down the drain. If that ain’t racial genocide what the hell is?

Meanwhile, back to your editorial.

“Under Chief Justice John Roberts, the Court has demonstrated an emphatic disregard for precedents.” Do you mean bad precedents like Plessy v Ferguson or good precedents like Roe v Wade? Who gets to pick and choose the good from the bad or as Juvenal said, Quis custodes ipso custodiet?”

By the by, the Dred Scott decision was overturned on the field of battle, remember? Meanwhile, back to Page 3B, Local News. The headline reads

“Grand Jury Indicts Man for Death of his Unborn Child”
Assuming Roe v Wade is still valid when the perpetrator – alleged, of course, alleged – goes to trial he can claim that it is not murder since the government has acquiesced in 60 million – that’s 60,000,000 – such procedures since 1973.

Jumping back to why Roman Catholic modern American Liberal politicians have a chiropractor on speed dial it is because their backs are always disjointed. While it is very easy to have your cake and eat it, it is impossible to eat your cake and have it. In a Logical construct that would shame wily Jesuits, the Governors Cuomo, pere et fils, both proclaim their personal opposition to abortion but say that their hands were and are tied because public policy takes precedence. To which an observer might add that Thomas More addressed that choice when he said just before his head was chopped off. “When a statesman forsakes his private conscience for his public duties he leads his country on a short path to chaos”.

It is safe to say that the Cuomos, if Dred Scott were to have been captured in New York state on a fugitive warrant, both of them would have slapped his felonious Black ass on the midnight train to Georgia, right quick.

Did not candidate Trump promise to nominate people to the Supreme Court who traveled within certain navigational buoys so clearly and repeatedly laid down and lighted by him? Maybe the Russkies convinced Hillary not to campaign in Ohio, in Michigan, in Wisconsin. Trump made a promise. Unlike “I will never send American boys to fight in foreign wars” – 1916, 1940, 1964 – or “I will balance the budget” FDR, 1932 or “If you like your doctor you can keep him” or “I will draw a red line in the sand over poison gas”. 

He is keeping the promise he made

Ideas and elections have consequences.

PS – Speaking of the Supreme Court…did I ever tell you that I am responsible for Justice Thomas? In the middle of a 7b year trial in US Tax Court my wife and I joined a petition on a procedural matter wending its way through the Federal Courts. The tradition in the Supreme Court is when the verdict is unanimous the Senior Justice has the option of writing the opinion. Justice Marshall, surely the best trial lawyer in the 20th century ever to sit with the Supremes, exercised that option. As he signed it he noticed my name was on it. Realizing that there were no more worlds to conquer he resigned. The next day Judge Thomas was nominated. Ergo….

The Washington Post,

RE: Causality and correlation and what would modern American Liberals do if they couldn’t confusingly conflate them? Some comments on how you say that the murders in Annapolis go straight back to Trump without saying it.

Ms. Sullivan,

I was not familiar with you or your work until I read your column on Sunday. Knowing nothing of your background I bet - it was almost chalk – that somewhere, sometime the fine hand of the Jesuits was involved in the mélange of who struck John but, needless to say, Trump is a prick

A brief digression. Why shouldn’t “verbal abuse” be rampant? Didn’t you have the
First Amendment tattooed on the inside of your eyelids? A DWEM – Sophocles, Zorba, Aeschylus, Dukakis, whoever – said, “Free men speak with free tongues”. Do you have a problem with that? 

Trump didn’t cause the shooting in Annapolis? If we use your Sophistry as an example would not Logic dictate that Bernie Sanders caused Congressman Steve Scalise to be shot? No other conclusion is possible.

Is there an 800 number for Hoya alumni and alumnae – Actually alumnae is redundant. In days of yore, to seek help on nouns covering both genders was always masculine. Look it up – to seek help on things conundriums Logical and Rhetorical? OK OK. Conundra.

June 26, 2018 preterition


June 26, 2018

It goes without saying that any chance I get to use my recently discovered new favorite word – preterition, and it’s a beaut, ain’t it? – to check up on my fellow Irish Catholics, particularly if they walk on the dark side and traffic in ordure, I will.

The two specific donkeys, bordering on ohmadanish save for their petty nastiness, are permanent fixtures in my free fire zone. Curly Biden and Lard Kennedy are two public pustules, who should be struck regularly, like gongs.  Curly was named in honor of the smartest Stooge, and Lard, someone William F. Buckley, another Irish Catholic, said was akin to a “moral slag heap” are two OED, QED definitions of “meaner than cat shit” Irishmen. And, yes, it may be damning with faint praise but at least Curly never drowned anybody. But that doesn’t get him completely out of Purgatorio

I’ll say this for them, and the rules of de morituis do not apply to the still dead Kennedy, but as paradigmatic templates of modern American Liberalism, they never let you down. No matter how low you set the bar of high expectations they always slither under it. Fatso Kennedy, King of Suet, needed 4 gallons of industrial strength WD40 that was laced with a lot of slip sliding away KY Jelly to get under it. Curly, known as Cheese Dick to his classmates at the ultra-expensive, super snobbish, White only [except for the cooks and the guy who put up the Christmas decorations] prep school, had to be flung through it because he was still confused with what to do with his thumbs. 

Today’s lesson involves Robert Bork.

Not only did churl Kennedy and the loutish Biden defeat him, they savaged him in a way that was memorialized in an eponym that more than 3 decades later is still used to describe someone being waterboarded with billingsgate: to Bork someone is the main cause of involuntary tumescence and estrus for modern American Liberal lads and lasses.

If you were Borked, a la Richard Jewel, you took it to your grave. Today it is called doxing. At least, “Does she Monica?” hasn’t changed. 

Fast forward from 1987 to 2000. An election unlike any other election in American History provided you forget, conveniently forget, 1800, 1824, 1828, and 1876. N.B. The first three were before electricity came into its own and if you wanted to read at night you killed whales.

The Supreme Court vote was 7 - 2, not 5 – 4. The vote to accept the case was 5 – 4. 

Here is the fun part, the part that says payback is a bitch, peckerheads. If Bork had been confirmed the vote would have been 5 – 4 against accepting the case. Alpha Gump would have been President. Thumper Gump would have been in charge of the Easter Bunny raree and the White House would have been filled with the merry prankster sounds of frolicking Gumpsters, and Armand Hammer, Lenin’s pal and Gore, Sr’s sugar daddy, would have wet his pants non-stop.

Also, the radical Islamic terrorists would have opened an office in the WTC [WTC? That’s short hand for World Trade Center] to promote tourism and Saddam Hussein would still have been practicing his unique brand of Jeffersonian Democracy.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda, let’s go to the video tape and Bush wins again. Alito and Roberts, as much as they enjoy Gorsuch, are beside themselves with thoughts of the next one. Scalia is smiling

And yes, today’s Supreme Court decisions would have gone the other way.

The other thing is that these 2 turds, Kennedy & Biden, are still having their asses bit by a dead curmudgeonly deplorable “piece of shit”.

“Vengeance is a dish best eaten cold” is an adage made famous by someone named Niccolo. He was Catholic but not Irish.

PS – Problems with preterition? Needless to say, try paralipsis. And you may want to check my blog – WARRIORBARDIT.BLOGSPOT.COM – on January 23, 2016 when I discovered it went from no choice to Hobson’s Choice to the only choice and I issued a plenary indulgence to anyone who was thinking of voting for Trump. There were 3 reasons: #1 – She, of the fat ass, would have ben the worst person ever to have been elected President. #2 – The possibility existed that he could have been as bad as Carter. A te deum is needed because by any standard he is not and, further, he is keeping the promises he made. #3 – He gets to pick the Judges
