CCB: The Halloween Edition

Hey there! It’s Monday and Happy Halloween to you all!

I confess that I didn’t get a whole lot done this weekend. I was too engrossed in the non-stop 4 days of classic horror movies on Turner Classic Movies. I’m very fond of the really old stuff…The Mummy, Frankenstein and Dracula from the 30’s. Late last night I even saw a silent film from 1925 called “The Monster” that had that mad scientist vibe. The thing was, it was kind of a funny (as in humorous) film and I think it was intended to be that.

On the political front, it was almost as entertaining as “The Monster” though I don’t think the participants intended for it to be so funny.

Let’s see, the Queen of the Unindicted may have yet another shot at being just that…indicted. The FBI is reopening its investigation of her email shuffle. This time it involves her longtime aide, Huma, the wife of deranged former New York congressman Anthony Weiner, aka Tony the Perv. It seems that she and her hubby shared a laptop where she downloaded tons of email from Her Majesty. The FBI, as part of an investigation of Weiner sending dirty messages to a 15 year old girl, discovered the emails.

Reports claim that there are some 650,000 emails on the laptop to go through. 650,000? Judas priest. I guess I really am a nobody. I don’t think I’ve ever had an account with 650,000 emails in it. Need to work on that! Send me email, people, I’m on a mission!

But wait, the fun and games don’t end there! It seems that the Trump was hosting a rally in North Carolina. There was an African American in the audience who has been a longtime supporter of the Trump.  For whatever reason the crowd turned on him – possibly because he was the only African American in the crowd – and began pointing at him. The Trump stopped his speech and told the security guards to eject the fellow from the rally. Despite being thrown out, the guy says he’ll still vote for the Trump.

Oh, and, ALERT, in case you’ve not heard, the deranged criminal Michael Vance is dead now. All of us who live out in rural areas can rest a bit easier.

The sad part is our friend, Dewey Co. Sheriff Clay Sander was shot in the process, though it sounds as though he’ll be okay. We at CCB wish him well.

It seems that Vance led sheriff’s units on a bit of chase, but OHP brought it to a swift and final conclusion. Eh, maybe Vance wanted to run through Sonic or something. After several days on the run, anyone would be hungry I suppose.

Take, for instance, a story from Huffington Post in which a guy driving around Phoenix was spotted by police as having warrants for his arrest. They get in a pursuit, but somehow said pursuee manages to lose them. He decides he’s hungry. He knows if he goes to jail he won’t get anything but a cheese sandwich and a juice box. He decides to go through the drive through of a fast food place.

He pulls up, places his order and gets lit up (spotlighted) by a police helicopter that had been searching for his Big Mac ass. He knows his time is near. He leaves the drive through without getting his meal (guess he has a refund coming?). The cops soon catch up to him, and take him away where there’s a cheese sandwich on Wonder Bread awaiting him.

Seems our shirtless rolling gourmet has been charged with unlawful flight from law enforcement, aggravated assault, and unlawful imprisonment. Guess it’s a good thing he had already paid for his Happy Meal, otherwise they would have added that as a charge – driving off without paying for a fast food order is probably a felony in Phoenix where the idiot sheriff is on a mission to throw as many people in jail as he can squeeze in.

All of those charges add up to a heap of cheese sandwiches, me thinks!

Let this be a lesson to all you criminal wannabes...either keep up with your meals or carry a spare sandwich with you when you're out and about. You never know when the Law will swoop down upon you!

Speaking of criminality, Cousin Fred is back at The Compound. Seems the State of Colorado refused to extradite and even dropped the charge against him. The judge in Cortez refuses to enforce the laws of Montezuma (America’s Meanest Town). It will likely be a little tense when we head back to Montezuma in November to begin filming, but we’ll deal with it.

My biggest problem now is that there is nothing left of Hellkat One’s trailer, but the frame. While the Wife is out of town this week on another of her fabulous vacations, Cousin Fred will be staying here in the main house, but I need to figure out something quick. The Wife will be back here on Saturday.

Happy Halloween!
