[Cleaning up the FUE-related off-topic comments was a chore.  Please try not to rile the gentleman with ad hominems relating to his appearance, education, career, etc – there is enough topic matter to highlight re his editorial policy, political ideology, and morality lectures to fill volumes.  And I propose that even these would be better suited for other blogs.  However, I do appreciate that RR sandboxes may be the only venues-of-response available to those readers who are gratuitously impugned on the FUE's website, since there he does not permit such reciprocity.  But do try to keep it to a dull roar on matters of substance, and eschew delving into comparative cosmetics, character, and morals.  Much grass.  gjr]

    An observation – in soCal during fire season, according to the county fire mavens almost all the fires were set, i.e. arson by usually the mentally deranged. Given the fires starting here and there in Nevada County during a relatively calm day, it seems that we may be having a similar epidemic up here.

    Took My Gal Hillary Rodclam Clinton only 5 friggin days to comment on her friend and money machine Harvey Weinstein. 5 days and she had someone else read a written statement composed by who knows how many surrogates. She said she is shocked, shocked I tell ya, over the worse kept secret in the land.
    Maybe Comey was right. Hillary was too inept, too stupid, too naive, and too ignorant to know what she was doing when she directed her private homebrewed server to be set up. Heck, Bubba had one. Apparently, HRC has not grown a brain yet, as she is too dumb, too dense and too inept to know Hollywood’s biggest open non-secret as well.
    But, then again, Comney ain’t too smart either. ‘Gross negligence’ in handling of Classified and Top Secret USA owned documents and materials does not require any motive. Be it by ignorance, ineptness, accidently, on purpose, or by neglect, Comney’s “extreme carelessness” fits the legal definition of gross negligence. That’s why the US Congress passed a separate bill adding gross negligence to the violations of the Espionage Act. No motive required, necessary, or even considered. Hmm. maybe the fired FBI Director, as well as Mrs. William Jefferson Clinton, are just looking out for number one, 24/7. Or,…..together they are as crooked as two Hillaries.
    Shoot howdy. After putting up with Bubba’s peccadillos for decades and dealing with Carlos Danger Mr. Huma for just as long……one would rationally surmise The Smartest Woman in America” would have a clue. “Shocked, I tell ya, shocked!” wad the statement read by her flunkie. No, not Debbie Whatsername, another flunkie. Hillary’s flunkies are a dime a dozen. And she won’t give Harvey’s donation money back. Cheap I tell ya, cheap. That’s My Gal.

    Well, neither is the Huff-n-Puff Farting Post, the Wa Compost, MSNBC, KVMR (including our local fakenews dude), but that doesn’t Punchy from parrotting ass backwards wrong stories from those oft corrected sites.
    Let’s see. Nobody is perfect, no news outfit is perfect either. Let’s count all the times Breitbart was wrong over the last 12 months and put that record up against ALL the stories that Popinjay’s sources got wrong. Or Popinjay himself got wrong, well deserving his moniker “po o fakenewsman”. Breitbart wins hands down.
    Punchy calling another outfit not a credible source is the funniest thing I have heard since before the power went out. Maybe he should check out the repeatedly discredited man in the mirror before opening mouth and inserting foot. Just when you think you have heard everything.

    Speaking of fakenews, the NYT is in hot water….again. Or, as jon would say, Nothing to see here”, business as usual. Administrative error. But, but, but I read it on AP, Wa Compost, Huff-n-Farting Post, or KVMR….all reporting what they saw on the NYT, lol.
    Exhibit A:
    While talking about being objective at the Times, Dudich replies candidly, “No I’m not, that’s why I’m here.”
    Dudich considers himself an important player at the New York Times, telling the Project Veritas Journalist “my voice is on… my imprint is on every video we do.”
    Dudich goes on to explain what he might do to target President Trump:
    “I’d target his businesses, his dumb fuck of a son, Donald Jr., and Eric…
    “Target that. Get people to boycott going to his hotels. Boycott… So a lot of the Trump brands, if you can ruin the Trump brand and you put pressure on his business and you start investigating his business and you start shutting it down, or they’re hacking or other things. He cares about his business more than he cares about being President. He would resign. Or he’d lash out and do something incredibly illegal, which he would have to.”
    When the undercover journalist asks Dudich if he could make sure that the anti-Trump stories make it to the front, he replied, “Oh, we always do.”

    Oh, it’s not all Punchy’s fault. He just repeats daily the talking points he reads….daily. Punchy is not an investigative reporter, neither is he a journalist by any stretch of the imagination. He is just like the talking heads on the boob tube reading the prepared script off the roll. Some people believe everything they read, lol. Not an uncommon story in the least. A sucker born every minute.
    But, to give Punchy some credit, he just could not pull the lever for Hillary or Barry Frosted O’s, Round Two. So, there was hope for the man. Was? Yes, there was until Trump Derangement Syndrome snuffed out that last flicker of hope.
    Walt is correct again. Punchy is losing his faculties and his mind is just a passing shadow of its former self. I should not treat the elderly man suffering from failing memory and in such dreadful fragile mental condition.so shabbily. That’s not what my people taught me. I apologize to Punchy for ridiculing his deteriorating thinker. I am sorry.
    This is indeed an excellent time to remind the reader that saying mean things to the mentally disabled is now classified as a hate crime. Let the reader take heart and allow for Uncle Paul’s indulgences. Better safe than sorry.

Of course, it was found after she died that her brain was largely liquified as a result of the tissue dying at the time of her cardiac arrest and there was never hope of recovery.
