A FECKLESS CUNT.

We all know the word we rarely use, and when we do it is reserved for the lowest form of person, someone so vile no other epithet seems to fit. When used it almost always causes a stir, either from a prude who feels it should never be used, or someone who might find it overly contemptible. Recently the oft-proven arrogant daughter of our president, using her father's power and the Trump name oiled her way into several deals with the Chinese. Since she has, from the beginning of his presidency been a constant parasitic barnacle on the ship of state, along with her equally unctuous husband, we were not surprised. Like all the Trumps, it seemed that profit was her only goal in life other than the vanity that has her constantly looking like a lifeless life-size Barbie. But recently she sank to a new low. During a time when thousands of young children were separated from their loving parents at an American border crossing, and sent off to the terror of sites unknown, Ivanka Trump considered this the perfect time to display a photo herself and one of her privileged-life children. The timing of this grab for narcissistic envy from the world, could not have been less correct. Immediately she was scolded soundly by society for such an ill-considered and cruel act. Not that she, pampered princess that she is cared. Someone who did care was comedienne Samantha Bee who, in her popular tv shows referred to Ivanka Trump as a feckless cunt, which she obviously is. Now, of course, in recognizing the offensive conduct of the spoiled Ms. Trump, there is a movement to remove Samantha Bee. Let us hope this does not occur, as it will signal yet another successful attack on America's proudest
heritage: Freedom of Speech.

SHAME ON THE NFL.

I hate sports. I have never been to a sports game of any kind in my life and am sure I never will. But what I hate more is tyranny, How dare our fat, useless, arrogant, ignorant, flatulent President force the NFL to forbid black players from taking a knee to protest the treatment of African Americans by law enforcement. And how dare the NFL cave to the whims of a president who is not only an idiot but a hypocrite. He talks about the sanctity of the American flag and the national anthem while he day by day destroys our country and proves to be a Russian-supported traitor to America. I think professional athletes are overpaid. I think, from what I've heard, ticket prices are insane and elitist. But that has nothing to do with freedom of speech. But this isn't really a freedom of speech issue. It's a race issue. Trump is a racist and can't bear that a black man would go against his wishes, his demands. Many football fans are racist and cling to this issue as an excuse to resent and vilify men whose talent they admire and lives they envy. What an opportunity to hate. In the meantime the NFL owners who are racist as well as cowardly are happy to indulge a delusional autocrat in his fake jingoism rather than doing the American thing--what is right. This absurd new rule is just another example of how our great and free country is falling sway to a petty dictator. Donald Trump has told thousands of lies, but the biggest one of all was suggesting that he would Make America Great Again.
It never stopped being great until the day he took office.

At first I was going to write a blog about the number or commercials where the diction is so bad you can't understand what the actors are saying. This commercial for instance is always garbled. But now I can see why. This is another one of those juvenile commercials where the writer felt he was being clever by being vulgar and only comes off making the advertiser look as low-brow as the writer.
Apparently the networks airing the spot had no choice but to obfuscate the words rather than chance being accused of offending the station's code. Judge for yourself if this is hilarious funny, or embarrassingly low rent.

I would nominate this is the most pretentious commercial on television, except there is another version that is even more pretentious because it uses the word immutable. I doubt  that many people know the word "immutable". I know I don't.  But the entire commercial reeks of idiocy and manipulation and arrogance.  As if even seeing this costly car will inspire you to purchase it. I happen to have seen and driven in the Julia or Juliette or whatever the hell they call it. It's gorgeous and  certainly deserves a more intelligent commercial. Every time this stupid promotion comes on, I not only look away but change the channel.

MORE TENEMENT TRUMPS

You will note that my last post fantasied about how the Trumps would live if they hadn't been showered with money,very little of which came from hard work and ingenuity. Naturally they wouldn't look as kempt in the photo I had to choose. But happily a very good friend sent me this photo which more clearly reflects the Trump Crime Family's true appearance. Unfortunately I could not effectively remove the last photo so must let this one stand by itself. I think you will agree that the is a good depiction of who the Trumps really are. Because of you don't agree why are you reading this blog.

THOSE TENEMENT TRUMPS

Don't you ever wonder what people would be doing if the weren't born to privileged lives? For instance if Donald's father hadn't lavished money on him and he had to work for a living, he would probably be an overweight, unwashed janitor who did a lousy job of keeping the tenements clean because he spent too much time in front of is 14-inch TV watching The View and Boobs Around the World. He'd still be married to Ivana who worked at the cosmetic counter of Macy's, but will soon lose her job because her face is becoming too  disturbingly puffy. Donald Jr. would be another undependable Comcast repairman with a cocaine addiction, while Eric is hoping to become  a manager of a 7-11. Ivanka's flair for fashion would have led her into pushing counterfeit Louis Vuitton purses between stints in prison, while Jared would be an apprentice bank teller whose attempt to steal $10,000 lands him in Rykers. But luckily for all these sanctimonious scions they are rolling in money and will never have to realize how incredibly ordinary and incompetent they are.

PUBLIX ,WHERE SHOPPING IS NOT A PLEASURE.

In Miami, it doesn't matter how upscale the merchant or venue is, the piped in music is sure to be lowbrow. The city apparently is not aware of centuries of classical music, or decades of songs from such greats as Gershwin, Kern, Mercer, and dozens of other brilliant composers and lyricists. One never hears quality music or actual melodies anywhere. Actually there is one venue in this city that plays classical music, Milam's Super Market. I would shop there exclusively except I don't drive and they are too far away. So I'm stuck with Publix who, despite many letters of complaint, plays only the
crappiest of songs sung by mostly screaming young women and often having only one trite lyric line sung endlessly. I suspect that music suppliers have various price levels and Public cheaps out since lyricalness songs and repetitive melodies sung by third-rate screamers cost less. The irony, at least with me, is that I would buy twice as many products if I weren't always eager to escape their low-brow music, which is not really music, it's noise. Generally when I ask the employees if they like the music, the answer is no, but they feel that can't complain. So mostly their awful taste in music doesn't please much of anyone, but they're not about to do anything to improve it.

MODERN MEDICINE

At age 75 and in moderately good health, I suddenly developed a mystery malady. Several times a day for several minutes I would get terrible pain from my upper chest to my throat and jaw. When it
went away I might be pain free for as long as eight hours till the next assault. My family doctor had no answer and suggested it might be Gerd and I call my Gastro doctor. He said he didn't think it was Gerd and when I suggested an endoscopy, he nixed it. Next I went to the cardiologist. He had no idea, but recommended I take an extra Zantac each night, and gave me a prescription for a costly cat scan,
which I am having tomorrow. I then went to the ENT, a wise diagnostician, usually. He used only a tongue depressor and asked me to say,"Ah" before recommending a twice daily gargle with a substance called Nystatin for two weeks. It had no effect and the pain continued, striking often and at various times. My family doctor told me that if the cat scan reveals nothing, I will just have to stop thinking about t this pain, the suggestion that it was all in my head. What happened to the days of the doctor, eager to find he cure to a mystery ailment, the cause of an unexpected medical problem? I admit I am a big of a hypochondriac. But this pain is real, and it hurts.

OF NERVE AND NIRVANA

There are several things wrong with this commercial. For starters,  I don't know why they chose such a Caucasian spokesman. Not that Caucasians can't be spiritual promoters of Nirvana. But this young man looks too much like he took a break from football to push enlightenment.Forgetting that and that he has a nice icy pitcher of something (more ginger ale?) it's a wonder he hasn't been noticed by the Homeowner till now. Anyway the main flaw is that the Homeowner accepts the beverage and instead of feeling anything like Nirvana or commenting on how good the product is,  he seems more concerned about trespassing. (No inner welcoming tranquility there.) Why introduce the Nirvana theme at all if you are not going to follow up? And, note, even Mrs. Homeowner didn't rush to savor this refreshing beverage.

HEARTLESS

One sure way to nurture rapists, thieves, and societal misfits is to remove them as children from their loving parents and put them into foster homes where they are often mistreated or ignored. When a
child grows up without the grounding of a family, and the security of a home that is his or hers, you can expect tears in the fabric of their upbringing that will result in major flaws later on. Trump's babysitter seems to think that children separated from their parents and raised in foster homes is just fine, proving that he, like everyone in the Trump White House, is cruel, cold, ignorant, and total without empathy.

Probably the most annoying commercial today is this one. And there is even a more annoying longer version. Not only because it is terribly written and lazily produced, but because it plays so often. Xfinity generally produces bad commercials by the dozens and never once have they pronounced Internet correctly. It is always innanet. Of course Xfinity is the same as Comcast, which I have and hate, but have little choice for cable.

ONE OF HISTORY'S MOST DEADLY WOMEN/

I detest Monica Lewinsky. Yes, Bill Clinton was a fool to get involved with this opportunist and he will never live it down. But Monica was a designing woman from the start, to put it vulgarly "a
celebrity fucker". She deliberately seduced Clinton without considering any of the consequences. And then she bragged to her evil friend Linda Tripp, which led to the downfall. No innocent she. And because of that moronic affair, thousands have died, Doubt it? Think about this: If Clinton had stayed clean and popular as he was, I think Gore would have easily been elected, which means no Bush era. No Bush era, no fake war. No fake war, no destruction of Iraq and death of thousands and thousands of innocents. No children burned and blinded and crippled. No birth of Isis. Far less of the troubles in the world today. Yes, Hussein would have lived, a small price for peace and the security of the guiltless Iraqis. The stain on Monica's dress is nothing compared to the oceans of blood that her actions have spilled. Does she ever think about the destruction she has caused in the world because she felt so special having sex with the president? I doubt it. A horrible person, Monica Lewinsky.

HOW COULD AARP BE SO STUPID?

I'm planning to get back on commercials I hate. Let's start with this one for AARP (I hope I remember how to add it to the blog). The commercial is designed to tell you how easy it is to get through all the confusion of adding a AARP Medicare Supplement to your coverage. But the device they use is absolutely stupid and offensive. Using a gorgeous labyrinth as a symbol for a problem difficult to navigate, they show a person on a tractor tearing through this magnificent growth and destroying all the work and time that went into it. How the hell is this an intelligent demonstration of their health plans? It isn't. It is an ugly destructive vision of a work of art totally damaged by a savage vulgarian on a machine. Despise this commercial. Shame on you, AARP.
