NOT GOOD ENOUGH, NOT SMART ENOUGH, PEOPLE DON'T LIKE YOU

Back when Al Franken was on SNL, he was unfunny, much like he is now. He claimed through his character, Stuart Smalley, that he was good enough, he was smart enough, and doggone it people liked him. Perhaps that was the joke with his character. It turns out he wasn't good enough, he wasn't smart enough and his colleagues in the Senate didn't like him, in fact, they demanded that he resign,

The Democratic talking point is that they are somehow 'taking the high ground' by demanding this dope leave the Senate. What gall. A Democrat Governor will select a Democrat replacement. The Democrats remove the Al Franken embarrassment liability and stick someone in the slot who has an excellent chance of being elected in 2020. The Democrats risked absolutely nothing having Franken removed. Moral High Ground? Gimme a break!

The O'Really Factor

America has been digesting the news all week that cable powerhouse, Bill O'Reilly, has been fired from FOX NEWS, after stories of huge out-of-court payouts were reported by The New York Times for sexual misconduct charges by various women over the past 15 years. Under pressure from lefty groups, virtually all advertisers dropped the program. There can be no commercial broadcast of a TV show without commercials. Once this happened the show was doomed. Just think back to all the millions of people who abandoned Bill Clinton when very serious charges of sexual misconduct were made against him. If you are having difficulty remembering that period, it is likely because that didn't happen. Liberals do not care what lefty progressives say or do as long as they vote the right way. Yes, I know, Anthony Weiner was the exception. Even he was too much for everybody - the second time.

Back to O'Reilly. The lefty progressive liberals are celebrating across America. I am not sure why. How does this change in anchors at FOX NEWS at 8:00PM Eastern Time change America? I did mostly enjoy watching O'Reilly over these past two decades. He surely was not a standard right wing conservative. He used to drive me nuts on occasion. He was happy to climb aboard the liberal progressive bandwagon when he blamed the 'evil' big oil companies for the rising prices at the gas pumps years ago. Apparently, the basics of Supply and Demand are not taught at Harvard where O'Reilly went to school. It is interesting to note that during the presidency of Barack Obama, gas prices fell quite a bit. Was this because of policies enacted by Obama? No, of course not. It was in spite of policies enacted by Barack Obama. I believe that the increasing levels of fracking and huge discoveries of natural gas led to energy price collapses around the world. ExxonMobil does not control the price of gasoline, in the same way that APPLE controls the price of an iPhone. Liberal Bill O'Reilly did not understand that. Nevertheless, Bill O'Reilly did mostly appear to be conservative in his views and he was the face of FOX NEWS for 20 years. Since the lefty liberals hated FOX NEWS, they naturally hated Bill O'Reilly. Now O'Reilly is gone. Will FOX NEWS likewise disappear? You think so? O'Really?

SATURDAY: PROGRESS REPORT

Recently my progress has been in the wrong direction, but this week I ratcheted back down a bit more than a pound to 247.2. I have a long way to go.
