I had the flu starting Sunday and continuing through yesterday, and it was bad.
The only major symptom was a high fever that was at least 100.1° F. But this was bad enough. I was so weak from this that I couldn't sit at my computer for more than a few minutes at a time.
Now, back to work!
How corrupt and right-wing is the Democratic Party in northern Kentucky?
For the first time in living memory, the party is refusing to field a candidate for U.S. House in Kentucky's 4th District, which is our district. The seat is currently occupied by Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican. Massie has taken some rather unusual positions for a Republican lately, even opposing the fascist Patriot Act and Real ID. Other than that, however, he's pretty right-wing on most issues.
In recent years, local Democrats have refused to run a candidate for many important posts. Their excuse is always that if the Democrats had a candidate, it would encourage Republicans to show up and vote against them, which might sway other races. Seriously, they said that. But what has actually been going on is that Democratic insiders have been meeting with Republican insiders behind closed doors to make backroom deals to not run candidates. You'll occasionally see a Democrat run unopposed too. But just not nearly as much.
We know this for a fact. A good example was the race for Campbell County Circuit Court Clerk in 2018. It was believed that any Democrat could have won the race for that 6-year term. A potential candidate with unassailable experience in the public and private sectors and forward-thinking policy stances stepped up and was told by party "leaders" that this race already had a candidate. But that wasn't true. There was no candidate. The Republican wound up running unopposed.
How are Democratic "leaders" handling the current U.S. House race? It's too late for a major party candidate to file. Instead, party bosses want Democratic voters to vote in the Republican primary and elect a congressperson that way. But they can't. Kentucky is a closed primary state. Voters can only vote in their own party's primary, and the deadline for voters to change their party registration has passed. Even if it was an open primary, there's still no way the Democrats could win that seat, because they don't have a candidate.
The Democrats are also refusing to field a candidate in the 5th District.
It appears as if independents have until April 1 to file to run, so - not for the first time - we'll have to rely on independents to save us.
The lack of a Democratic candidate is not really a big loss these days, ever since the Democrats decided to become the party of child abuse and lockdowns. They chose a hill to die on - even refusing to renominate elected Democratic officials who dissented - and these abusers will get absolutely no help from me. Democrats will not lift a finger for universal healthcare or expanding Social Security. But they will send the Department of Homeland Security after you if you stand up for your children against being waterboarded at school.
A vote for Democrats today is a vote for Real ID, Big Pharma, closed national parks, more war, dangerous nuclear power, child abuse, and more lockdowns. They are not the party they were in 1991, and they will hear about it from me from now until the end of time. When children's well-being is at stake, I don't mess around.
You're gonna laugh, because I'm about to mention bubble gum.
Many years ago, this bit of ridiculousness was all over American television...

That's a commersh for the chocolate mint flavor of Bubblicious dated 1986. And is it ever silly!
It shows a bunch of people at a soda counter doing a goofy dance and blowing bright green bubs. They show up to embarrass some nerdy teenager about his chocolate mint soda order.
I remember seeing this ad and bursting out laughing! Fifteen years after it aired, people were still talking about it on the Internet.
A couple years before it aired, parts of this commersh would have been seen as scenic and interesting. But by 1986, it was viewed as overblown and gaudy.
But people bubbled.
I have yet another new Substack entry, this one to counter the latest lie put out by the Los Angeles Times...

Last night, I went to the Fountain Square "bash" to ring in 2024. It was as tame as ever.
But I did see 3 celebrity look-alikes: Billy Joel, K.C., and Lisa Loeb. The K.C. look-alike was the funniest, as he was even wearing the wide-collared polyester suit.
Also, a person wosted Bubble Tape. This is a perfect story for the next Last Word.
In addition, a woman was in such a festive mood in the run-up to midnight that she bubbled.
