SENDS IN THE CLOWNS: One sits to pee, and the other's a cow!

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2025

The New York Times keeps its trap shut: A MAN WAS LYNCHED YESTERDAY, the flag above Fifth Avenue once said.

It flew repeatedly for several years. The leading authority explains:

A man was lynched yesterday flag

A flag bearing the words "A man was lynched yesterday" was flown from the national headquarters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) between 1936 and 1938 to mark lynchings of black people in the United States. It was part of a decades-long anti-lynching campaign by the NAACP that began after the 1916 lynching of Jesse Washington. The flag...was stopped from flying in 1938 after the NAACP's landlord threatened them with eviction if they continued the practice.

[...]

The NAACP first flew the flag on September 8, 1936, to mark the lynching of A. L. McCamy in Dalton, Georgia. The flag continued to be flown at NAACP's headquarters at 69 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan the day after news of a lynching reached the organization. The 6-by-10-foot flag was simple and had the white text "A MAN WAS LYNCHED YESTERDAY" on a black background. The bold typeface is thought to have been chosen to best convey the message quickly to a crowd of people.

It was a stunningly terrible time. We Blues sometimes avoid acknowledging the following fact but on balance, things don't typically reach that level of horror at the present time.

This very morning, the thought of that recurrent sign popped into our heads. At the direction of its CEO, the Fox News Channel had posted a video beneath this comical dual headline:

Something’s off with today’s Democrats: Greg Gutfeld
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld and the 'Gutfeld!' panelists discuss why Democrats are so unlikable.

Too funny! As you can currently see by clicking this link, that's the way the CEO's corporate lackeys decided to summarize the "issues monologue" which occurred at the start of Thursday night's Gutfeld! show.

Each evening, the host's "issues monologue" follows a couple of minutes of insults packaged in the form of jokes. But what made that presentation so funny?

Simple! That summary could be the summary of the "issues monologue" Greg Gutfeld has delivered almost every night over the past few months. 

That's been the subject of his monologue night after night after night! Once the termagant has told the world about how weird and unlikable Democrats are, a quartet of stooges then take their turn agreeing with what he has said.

Full disclosure! The termagant's insults don't come to an end when his "issues monologue" starts. Last night, his monologue was a bit more specific than much of his usual fare.

Last night, he issued a screed against the way the Nobel committee had failed to honor President Trump. As you can currently see at the Gutfeld! site, the summary of last night's issues monologue looks like this:

Greg Gutfeld: Trump’s a peacemaker until you piss him off
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld and the panel discuss President Donald Trump not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize on ‘Gutfeld!'

So went last evening's monologue. Inevitably, the host's devotion to personal insult bled over into the monologue, as it always does.

Sad! The show began airing at 10 o'clock sharp. At 10:04 p.m., the world had already been gifted with this as part of the issues discussion:

GUTFELD (10/10/25): ...Some previous presidents certainly won it for doing a lot less than Trump did. Think about it. 

Barack Obama? He won it before he even sat down to pee in the White House bathroom. 

Should President Obama have received that prize? We can't quite tell you that.

That said, the tortured man who helms this show persistently tells his viewers two things. First, Barack Obama is really a woman. Either that, or Obama is gay.

The host thinks of that garbage as insults. 

Each night, the CEO pries the lid off the can and this is the moral and intellectual disorder which comes crawling out. We ask you to pity the many young men who are being encouraged to perceive the world in such ways.

That said, the little guy was far from done last night. He now listed the many peace deals he said President Trump has brokered.

No serious person seriously believes that Trump has brokered that many peace deals. No one believes that the listing is accurate—but on the Fox News Channel, the list the little guy rattled off is mandated corporate messaging.

As for the host himself, he seems to have a monster stuck in his soul—a monster which won't seem to let him go. He can't simply say whatever it is that he wants to say he believes. Instead, he has to say things of this type, as he did last night at 10:07 p.m.:

GUTFELD: That's Trump's [means of] persuasion—[he's a peacemaker] until you piss him off. 

Then you wake up with a horse in your bed—or a cow in your Irish pub.

AUDIENCE: [Applause]

Rosie O'Donnell was cast as the cow. This is who the termagant is. We ask you to pity the "masculine children" who are being taught to behave in such ways. 

Nor is it just the guys! At 10:10 p.m., it fell to the former Oakland Raiders cheerleader to offer her thoughts on the topic at hand. At the New York Times, Gutfeld! hacks can now get scored as feminists even as they act out like this:

COMPAGNO: Obama was awarded it nine months after taking office—as you point out, before he even sat down to pee.

The cheerleader wanted to say it too! This is the corporate culture the CEO has chosen

There's much more to say about this heavily watched TV show, and about the rise of right-wing comedy as a messaging tool.

In the realm of political commentary, we'd date the practice to Rush Limbaugh's use of parodic elements on his nationwide radio show starting in the mid-1980s. In the realm of major stand-up comedy, we'd track it to Sam Kinison's comedy of screaming cruelty, but also to Andrew Dice Clay's arena-filling presentation of the angry white working-class man.

(We have a treasured memory about an admirable female comedian with whom we once worked in Atlantic City. She asked us one day, in complete sincerity, why she was being treated so badly as the girlfriend of one of the members of Kinison's posse. That was something like thirty years ago!)

There's also a great deal to say about the way people like Brother Gutfeld (and Kayleigh McEnany) got converted into ardent supporters of President Trump. According to the New York Times, the CEO called Gutfeld in one day, apparently in 2016, and apparently gave him the word about the possible need for that change.

(He may be sincere in his Trump love today. Back in June 2023, the Times seems to say that that's what happened back then.)

We're going to leave it here for today, with President Obama sitting to pee and O'Donnell compared to a cow. We're going to leave you with one other point:

All across the realm of Blue America's timorous and incompetent elites, the better people—the people who "went to the finest schools"—agree that they must never report and must never discuss what actually happens, all day and all night, on this endlessly ridiculous imitation of a "cable news" channel.

It's Suzanne Scott who produces this show. She sits on a massive yacht which bears an unusual name:

Sends in The Angry, Broken Toys, the name on her splendid yacht says.

Just so you'll know: The five women of The View were trashed two separate times during last evening's handful of opening "jokes."

First, they were compared to a band of "dogs." 

(Audience applause. "Too easy," the termagant said.)

Moments later, they were mocked for "the chum" they allegedly stuff in their mouths. This garbage gets dished every night.

This little guy seems to have a woman hatred which won't seem to let him go. If Blue America had a sexual politics (all too plainly, Blue America doesn't), we Blues might be able to see, report and discuss that fact about this 61-year-old furious soul.

He hails from a very sunny place. We feel sure that he could do better than this. We advise you to pity the child.
