Herbert Kornfeld Was Certainly Smarter Than Krugman, My Basset Hound. Also, The NYT Economist Dude. #TrudeauEulogies

by Smitty

Those who’ve been on the net for a while may remember Herbert Kornfeld, tragically felled by a politically correct scythe right around the time Barack Obama rose from useless to famously useless, back in 2007.

Apparently, the Northern Lightbulb is a little less dim for having been pilloried by pretty much the entire Western Hemisphere, modulo Cuba.

Lambasting this knob has been the most fun I’ve had on Twitter in too long. Here are a few more eulogies:

Hasn’t been worth the last eight years, but Biden has been great comic relief.

Regret that my 2016 Election Primal Scream Therapy has curtailed my blogging to the point of non-existence. Keep in mind that it’s all fun and games until junk gets real, states secede and armies march.

Did Her Majesty Drop Some Hormones In The Little Pajama Boy, Or What?

Everyone’s getting their Twitter riffs on over this:

Added my own little bit of doggerel in that AABCCB scheme that seems to work well:

I guess it’s all fun and games until Trump names Sarah Silverman for VP.

Workin’ Hard, Tryin’ To Teach Punky @BrewStudNo1 Of Humor. Failing.

by Smitty

It started as a biographical not concerning Her Majesty:

As somebody who nurses dreams of writing fiction some day, and is fascinated by criminal psychology in general, I had to inquire:

The lesson began when, as a Lefty will, Punky had to go all potty mouth:

Now, I do have 4 1/2 years of sea time in the Navy. But you become jaded about the potty mouth. It’s more interesting to work with the situation and see where it can go. Ah, yes: an #OccupyResoluteDesk gag:

At this point, Punky’s boorishness (one wonders if he doubles as a Trump supporter) comes to the fore, and he gets all Flukie-Dukey on me:

Here I decided to hold training and violate the “explain nothing” rule:

Sure, I love well-done malapropism as much as the next guy, but using “incongruent” here sounds like somebody who’s only qualified through two-syllable words reaching for a four-banger and grabbing the ronngg one. Possibly there is some humor in here and I’m just missing it.

Past that tweet, @BrewStudNo1 wallowed in his taste for banal, NTTAWWT. I would like to publicly forgive him all the insults. Our political discourse is too rife these days with people getting all spun up and emotional. Request everyone who reads this post that has a Twitter account swing by and offer @BrewStudNo1 a sincere virtual hug. Together we can get through these trying times, mate.
