Happy Friday, Gentle Readers,

I pray this missive finds you well. It’s going to be a quiet
weekend around Stately Brown Manor. Other than mowing the grass, my
only other task will be assembling a new automatic chicken feeder.
I’m looking forward to it because up until now, I was the automatic
chicken feeder.

F-A-S-H…no, wait, F-A-C…hang on…
So the National Education Association just wrapped up its annual
convention in Portland, Ore., no less. I guess Beijing and
Pyongyang were booked this year. It is the height of tourist
season, after all.

At any rate, the assembly of august educators voted to approve a
resolution to oppose Donald Trump because, of course, it would.
Everyone present agreed to "defend against Trump’s embrace of
fascism by using the term facism [sic] in NEA materials to
correctly characterize Donald Trump’s program and actions."


Yes, these are the people who want control over your children’s
hearts and minds. Technically, they got the spelling of “fascism”
right the first time, before spectacularly biffing it the second
time. So they are batting .500. I must admit that I am surprised.
The left uses variations of fascism as a noun, pronoun, adjective,
and adverb. The brain trust at the NEA will be working overtime to
figure out how to use it as a verb as soon as they agree on how to
spell it.

Speaking of working overtime, whenever the Left does anything,
there is a price tag attached. Please note the request for an
additional $3,500 in the X post above. Compared to the usual
spending habits of progressives, $3,500 is quite a bargain when you
consider the cost of fighting facsim fascism. This, of course,
raises a question: if the NEA isn’t exhorting its members to teach
students how to spell, for what is it advocating?

I think we all know the answer to that.

Wine recommendation
Because we need to fight facsim fascism one bottle at a time. Who’s
up for a nice red blend? Well, that’s what I drank, so that’s what
I’m reviewing. Meet the 2019 Leese-Fitch California red blend.

This red will set you back anywhere between $15 and $25, depending
on your locale. It gets its unique profile and its flexibility from
the blend of eight varietals: Petite Sirah, Syrah, Tannat,
Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Merlot, Teroldego, Tannat, and Malbec. It
has a nice bouquet and a fair amount of acidity, with a dry, strong
presence. While those preferring softer, sweeter wines may be a bit
put off, this is a very drinkable wine that works just as well on
the back deck as it does on the dining room table.

Aside from the cherry and assorted dark fruit flavors, keep your
taste buds alert for hints of vanilla and chocolate. Some reviewers
say there are touches of sage and oregano, which are there if you
are looking for them, but not so strong as to overwhelm the other
elements. One person said there was a coconut essence to the
finish, but I couldn't find it. Then again, many wine reviewers are
never at a loss for a bizarre comparison. It should pair well with
most meat dishes, including chicken, although pork might be a
stretch.

That’s it for me. Have a great weekend, and I’ll see you next time.

Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate

Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take
over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan,
dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex
club allegations.

The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his
once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given
Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.

Ryan’s campaign began to crumble on Monday following the release of embarrassing records from his divorce. In the records, his ex-wife,
Boston Public actress Jeri Ryan, said her former husband took her
to kinky sex clubs in Paris, New York and New Orleans.

"It’s clear to me that a vigorous debate on the issues most likely
could not take place if I remain in the race," Ryan, 44, said in a
statement. "What would take place, rather, is a brutal, scorched-
earth campaign – the kind of campaign that has turned off so many
voters, the kind of politics I refuse to play."

Although Ryan disputed the allegations, saying he and his wife went
to one ‘avant-garde’ club in Paris and left because they felt
uncomfortable, lashed out at the media and said it was "truly
outrageous" that the Chicago Tribune got a judge to unseal the
records.

Down-low is an African American slang term[ that refers to a
subculture of men who usually identify themselves as heterosexual,
but who have sex with men; some avoid sharing this information even
if they have female sexual partner(s). The term is also used to
refer to a related sexual identity. (Source Wikipedia)

Firstly, I want to make clear that this article is in no way making
any disparaging comments towards the LGBT community. This article
is simply going to discuss the closeted activities of a man who is
probably denying who he really is for political purposes.

The rumors about Obama‘s predilection for one-sided homosexual
contact or even full sexual contact has been discussed for many
years ever since his connection to several known Gay individuals
and even others who might also be on the down low themselves such
as Reverend Jeremiah Wright and current Chicago Mayor, Rahm Emanuel.
