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!

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

Another one bites the dust. Is it just me, or does is seem like every day another lefty liberal icon is leaving the national stage under a cloud of some degree of sexual harassment?  I must admit, I am not exactly heartbroken over the plight of any of these guys. They are not the victims.

* * * * * * * * * *

Would you like to know what a sanctimonious schmuck looks like? This should do it. It is a photograph of sanctimonious schmuck Matt Lauer interviewing Bill O'Reilly after O'Reilly was fired by Fox News for some various cases of sexual harassment which were settled with big cash payouts to a handful of women. I am not defending O'Reilly. But what gave Lauer the right to grill Bill?

from variety.com

In September, Lauer asked the former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly if he’d ever sent lewd text messages to colleagues. “Think about those … women and what they did,” Lauer said. “They came forward and filed complaints against the biggest star at the network they worked at. Think about how intimidating that must have been. Doesn’t that tell you how strongly they felt about you?”

Would you like to see a photograph of a woman who has no idea how much danger she's in. This should do it. It is a photograph of Katie Holmes flanked by formerly respected, politically influential, Harvey Weinstein and the former King of Morning TV, Matt Lauer.

Would you like to see a photograph of two people sharing trade secrets? This should do it. "What, you mean you don't have a secret button under your desk to lock your door and keep your object of your affection trapped?"

.

Would you like to see a photograph that is just disturbing? This should do it. I don't care what Matt Lauer does in the own time (OK, just kidding, This was from Halloween 2013) I just felt like sharing it today.

DEMOCRAT SEXUAL PREDATOR ALL STAR TEAM

I find it so hard to believe that so many morally confused people are still so bent out of shape over the crude remarks made by Donald Trump in private more than a decade before he ran for President. Everyone who has feigned outrage over this has apparently never been near normal dumb guys saying normal dumb stuff. Saying something stupid, and talking about doing something stupid does not mean that you have done something stupid. The particularly sad thing about what Donald Trump said about grabbing women, has proven to be extremely true. Don't believe me, ask Harvey Weinstein. At least is has apparently been true for the past few decades. Rich and/or famous and/or powerful and/or wealthy people apparently have felt that you could do anything to a women. So the fact that Donald Trump said this does not mean that he did it. Are we all in agreement?  But seriously, have you ever noticed how photogenic some of our national leaders are? The most recent example was provided by the (DIS)Honorable Senator from Minnesota, Al Franken on Thursday. 

The comedic genius of Al Franken is being nicely displayed in the photo.   Funny Stuff, eh? Do you realize that there were whispers that this clown could have been the Democratic Presidential nominee in 2020?

Carlos Danger, also known as the (DIS)Honorable Congressman from New York, the appropriately named, Anthony Wiener is another guy who has shown us what it means to be a class act. 

One of the women that Bill Clinton IS NOT accused of raping. Bill Clinton is considered a hero to the morally deficient lefty liberal loons. 

.
This guy was not just an all-star - He belongs in the HALL OF FAME. In what kind of upside down moral world could this man have politically survived after his epic swim in July 1969?

The late Massachusetts Democrat, Senator Ted Kennedy remained a major national political figure despite the Chappaquiddick incident, where his late brother’s 29-year-old ex-staffer, Mary Jo Kopechne, drowned when a car Kennedy was driving went off a bridge. Kennedy pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, received a two month suspended sentence, and continued his political career until his death from brain cancer in 2009. Ted Kennedy was among the most revered Democrats in the country until his death. Now while he was not a murderer, he was clearly an involuntary manslaughterer. Democrats still voted him into office again and again. You see, being a Democrat means you do and say whatever you want, as long as you vote 'correctly'.

This was a particularly challenging week for weight management... It started last weekend with my 'all you can eat' sushi adventure. My gum surgery on Monday also put me 'off my game.' I ate a bit too much yogurt, cottage cheese and ice-cream as I was supposed to eat soft foods. The bottom line is that I went 2 pounds backwards this week. This upcoming week includes Thanksgiving which will present further challenges. I know that I can't walk enough to erase calories, but walking does mitigate some of the excesses at least a little bit - one hopes.

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.
