Kill (Some of them) With Kindness: A Book I Haven't Read Yet, and Never Will

 As my politically themed Book Week draws to an end, I'm about to get real irritated when I talk about Nick Adams, author and toxic white male. 

So, a palette cleanser before I dive into the festering swap that is this guys online persona and ideals. 

Happy Veterans' Day to all who have served our country well. My favorite veteran is my Pappaw, Carl Burch, who left us way too soon in April of 1996, when I was a sophomore still sporting braces on my teeth. I miss him. 



One of the last pieces of advice he gave me was "Kill 'em with kindness."

He was talking about my parents, so I'll go ahead and assume that Pappaw would be fine with me tearing Nick Adams a new rectum, which I'm about to do.

**************************************************

So. 

The Nick Adams Twitter feed is relentless in the effect it has on my blood pressure. Here are a couple of examples of the nonsense he's spewed so far today, and the initial tweet that set me off. (I quote his tweets too often, solely to admonish him.

"Eat twice as much meat to make sure a vegan out there isn't making a difference."

"Do you identifty as an American or a Democrat? You can't be both."

"President Trump talks in hyperbole on occasion but I truly believe he has never lied to the American people." 

(My retort: Someone tell this family man he needs therapy! I think he is clearly uneducated, and, if he went to college, maybe he majored in douchebaggery.) 


Book I Haven't Read Yet: Some book by Nick Adam's that he claimed the former Orange POTUS personally endorsed while in office  Oooooh - and this is also, according to him, the first time a sitting President has endorsed a book. (Sounds fishy.) 

Why I Haven't Read It: Because Nick Adams is a tool.

In his Amazon bio, he has listed, among his achievements, the fact that Matt Bevin appointed him a Kentucky Colonel. Nick's an idiot. My husband and I are both KY Colonels. It means nothing and it's not special - it's easy to get. You basically just ask any old white man in the Commonwealth and they sign you right up.

Should You Read It: Hell no! I'm not even mentioning the title. 

You might have fun following him on twitter, though. He has amassed over 400k followers. That saddens me. But, I'm one of the 403,700, because sometimes I thrive on anger, and it's enjoyable to bust his disgusting chops.

Jud Was Right: Karen DID NOT damage her Lexus on the Traverse - A Garage Story

Edit: ideal to read this with the FOIA drive open to access each ring video referenced as you go. Other recommended research/ reading: The Commonwealth's Statement of the Case June 2022 pg 14, and Evan Brent's trial 2 testimony. I am now CERTAIN Karen broke her taillight pulling into John's garage when she arrived home from FV. Here's why: The first time we see it broken (to my eye!) is  in the FOIA Ring Doorbell cam - we see Karen backing out at 5:07am. As Boozey Beauty pointed out, the angle in which she's backing out is odd. The beginning of the FOIA footage shows the SUV backing out and if you move the banner showing the play/ pause buttons, I think you'll see it. Watch the first 3 seconds, if you haven't already. I watched in .25 speed and paused each second. FOIA file ID 1643450878000. The TL doesn’t look “right” as it passes the illuminated vertical frame of the garage door on the left of the screen. Look at shape, not color. It’s better on video, bu...

Last Call: John O'Keefe's Journey from Waterfall to Fairview (12:11:09am - 12:21:09)

I tend to bury the lead, so let me say this up front: I won't get to any of it in this post, but by 12:24:22am on January 29, 2022, John O'Keefe had arrived at 34 Fairview, gone into the house, been incapacitated, and had been dragged down the two short flights of stairs down to the basement, and up the stairs to and through the bulkhead door.  Yes. All of this happened by 12:24:22am. And here's how I started my research this week to figure it out: When I decided to look at timeline, I didn't think I'd spend all my free time in an entire DAY focusing on the short time frame of 12:11am - 12:21:09. I wanted to go "back to the start" (shoutout to Coldplay!) and figure out what the time discrepancy was really all about. I started with steps: Hyde (report) 12:11:09 - 12:21:09 170 steps 326 feet Guarino (testimony) 12:11:09 – 12:21:05 170 steps 326 feet Whiffin (report) ...

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...
