When bad things happen to bad people.

This blog has had a special dislike for Clinton bagman and unrepentant pro-abort Terry McAuliffe, stretching back to February 2007.

Back then, McAuliffe was being considered for membership in the pre-Anschluss Knights of Malta. A storm arose, led by the formidable and much-missed Kathy Shaidle. 

Mirabile dictu, McAuliffe was denied membership.

[For the unclear, this was back in the day when the Catholic Church still occasionally taught there could be eternal consequences for political actions. 

Or eternal consequences for anything short of being a mafia assassin. 

Frankly, maybe not even then, given the functional universalism coursing through the ecclesial veins.

It's hard to explain, and a story for another time.]

But anyway, more bad things happened to Terry McAuliffe almost fifteen years after the formerly-independent Knights said no: the voters of Virginia emphatically said "NO" to being governed again by this unpleasant hustler.

This calls for the playing of one of my favorite 45s from my youth.

45s being another concept difficult to explain to the yutes, but no matter:


 

Now if only our town voted to save our history museum from being defenestrated by our once-sensible mayor...but we won't know for sure until later today.

  1. Clinton's bagman goes down to defeat, running afoul of public school parents by telling them to shut up and lump it, after having his own kids educated at very expensive private schools. It would take a heart of stone not to laugh at that!

  2. My wife is Buddhist and believes that the universe seeks balance, sometimes referred to as kharma. It would seem that Nov. 2 was the start date for several manifestations of that belief.

    1. There are times when kharma makes a lot of sense to me, that is for certain.

Be reasonably civil. Ire alloyed with reason is fine. But slagging the host gets you the banhammer.
