Yes, it’s been a bit, but this is important. I’m not commenting on more details concerning Keith Olbermann’s private life. It means exactly Jack & $hit considering an election’s coming up that is literally going to affect people’s lives. THAT is where our focus needs to be.

So much my grand idea of videos of me reading 1984. I doubt I’d finish it by Election Day, and all the short videos would be a pain in the a$$ to keep track of. I’m going to re-read it anyway. Remember…contrary to some “people’s” belief, 1984 IS NOT an instruction manual.

Greetings F.O.O.! So, I am heavily leaning toward reading & making short videos of 1984. My goal is to get through it by Election Day. The videos will be fairly short because I refuse to give a penny to Apartheid Clyde just for the privilege of being able to post long videos, so thank you in advance for your patience & support. I hope to get started in the next few days.

What happened in PA on Saturday does not diminish the nightmare this country will be if the previous White House occupant wins in November. News like "Judge" Cannon's dismissal of the documents case will happen on a daily basis on steroids should the worst happen. Sadly, because politicians on all sides are too cowardly to do what must be done, and pundits merely stroke each other, it's up to the voters and up to the voters to hold people ACCOUNTABLE. We need to be ready; we need a blue tsunami beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Thank you In advance for reading this lengthy post if you do, but there is a method to my proverbial madness. Much to my chagrin the other day, I discovered I did not own 1984. I have Animal Farm but NOT 1984. As you can see, I have since corrected that oversight. I’m considering re-reading 1984, making videos, and posting the videos. Beyond all the noise know, it’s important to know what might be ahead should the worst happen in November. What do you think?

I’m considering alternative postings here for a time; most of them probably won’t be podcast summaries but WILL be something I consider vital & important. If you choose to hang with me, thank you. If not, be an adult & ignore it. If you troll, you’ll be dealt with accordingly.

07/01/2024

I don’t know how many of you here actually follow me, but I need a break, so I’m not going to for awhile. Just too much $hit going on in my life to do it for now…if you care, when I resume, I’ll let you know.

Countdown podcast blog final for 21 June...

Today’s “guest announcer” is Jonathan Banks - hell yeah!

WPITW…Tucker Carlson earns the bronze because he took a tumble in Australia & precious few people saw it - aw dang. As of when Keith wrote this, Jeff Bezos earns the silver because he had still done nothing to quell the cluster*uck the Washington Post may become, but since then, Will Lewis or a colleague to him decided to just say no & stay in the UK. Dylan Byers earns the gold because he praised Howard Fineman after his death after trashing him while he was still here.

“Thurber Fridays”… The Twitter site for the Thurber House is . Here’s the website for the Thurber House. https://www.thurberhouse.org Today’s story is “Mr. Preble Gets Rid of His Wife.”

Thurber House is a non-profit literary arts center and museum located in the home of humor writer and cartoonist James Thurber. Programs include the Thurber Prize for American Humor, writer residencies, author readings, writing classes for children and adults, and a museum of Thurber memorabilia.

Countdown podcast blog 3 for 21 June...

And now, the news! Donald Sutherland died yesterday. I had no idea prior to yesterday about his Vietnam War stuff, so I think he’s even more cool. Keith was close to him & offers a lovely remembrance. He was such a great actor, I can’t nail down just one favorite roll for me. And, I’m heartbroken for his son, Kiefer Sutherland.

“Every Dog Has Its Day”… Please check out Keith’s doggie(s) of the day and help needy animals in your area if you can. Do what you can locally even if you can’t take care of the specific animals Keith mentions! I live in Flyover Country, so I know. ;)

Countdown podcast blog 1 for 21 June...

“Special Comment”…..According to then New York Times, there might actually be official efforts to remove Judge Aileen Cannon from the Drumpf documents case in FL. I’ll believe it when she’s off the bench & reporting on yoga again. RFK Jr & running mate are threatening to jail Dana Bash, Jake Tapper, CNN, the person behind the bar at my favorite watering hole, and my cat, Ella, for not making the cut for the maybe-debate next week. I made up the part about my bar & my cat.

Today is Friday, June 21, 2024 - Happy Summer! The IN Gilead “Supreme” Court upheld the draconian near-total abortion ban law, so women in my fair state are officially breeders only now. The 1 last hope is an ACLU lawsuit brought on behalf of some couples that claim the law violates their religious freedom. It would be A HOOT for this horrible law to go down because of Not-My-Man Mikey’s bigotry! VOTE FOR A BLUE TSUNAMI IN NOVEMBER!

Let’s Countdown with Keith…

Countdown podcast blog final for 20 June...

Today’s “guest announcer” is Kenny Mayne.

Here’s your sports content! The game commemorating the Negro Leagues where Willie Mays began his career will go on. Keith continues remembering Willie Mays with the time he turned a double into a single; I can see a scenario where that might come in handy. A new idea about the World Series is pretty damn dumb - including scrapping the current way it’s organized and making sure a west team plays an east team. Thank you Nancy Faust!

WPITW…….Georgetown University earns the bronze because they claimed David Carr was a great journalist when he really wasn’t. Drumpf earns the silver because he has jinxed the Florida Panthers. Greg Gutfeld earns the gold because he claimed FAUX News doesn’t make stuff up even though they ponied up money for doing exactly that.

“Things I Promised Not to Tell”…Keith tells a story about drinking A LOT of beer on a hot day then having to try to work.

“Special Comment”….Keith is mentioning another poll from FAUX News that shows President Biden ahead of Drumpf by 2 points. P**p on polls - thank you 2016. Parts of that poll also indicate that people are feeling good about the economy. A political reporter from Flyover Country (specifically St. Louis) is claiming that the Drumpf campaign is demanding to see questions before answering. RFK Jr won’t be at next week’s debate & isn’t on as many state ballots as being claimed, and we’re waiting for a Drumpf excuse to bail on the debate that he can blame on President Biden. Drumpf claimed Joan Rivers voted for him in 2016 from the grave because she died in 2014.
