James Rosen Responds To Me, Sort Of

, , , , , , , , , ,
James Rosen: brown hair, brown eyes, brown nose

The Resident Fox “News” Historical Revisionist™ has taken time out of his busy-making-up-shit-life to attack me.*

You may remember James Rosen, from such exciting Not Now Silly episodes as Aunty Em Ericann’s Bun Fight With James Rosen of Fox “News”, or the post Did Roger Ailes Dupe James Rosen, Or Did Rosen Dupe ‘Merka? not to mention the more recent James Rosen: Blundering Biographer or Enemy of the State? 

Rosen, in case you don’t know, is the Chief Washington Correspondent for the so-called news network. He wrote a laughable book on John Mitchell and Watergate called The Strong Man, in which it seems he exonerates Mitchell for just about everything he was ever accused of, including those things he went to jail for.

Ironically, I heard from James Rosen today. I say “ironically” because — in a wonderful bit of synchronicity — today is the 39th anniversary of the resignation of President Richard Nixon, which I’ve documented in my post Watergate ► The End of the End, a bookend to my earlier post Watergate ► The Beginning of the End.

And, what did Rosen have to say in defense of his magnum opus?

How’s about that?!?!?! It’s a non-denial denial, almost like it came directly from the Nixon White House. Note he doesn’t deny my theory, that Roger Ailes, his current boss and Nixon intimate, is the secret source for the disinformation on Page 61 of The Strong Man. Also note that he attacks my beard, a favourite target of Johnny Dollar’s Flying Monkey Squad. Why does it feel like they put him up to it?

Yes, it’s the rich, thin-skinned, circle of life.

All my previous posts on Watergate can be found here.

* TO BE FAIR: I attacked James Rosen and his joke of a book first.

The Flying Monkey Squad Strikes Again & Again

, , , , , , ,
Mark Koldys is the phat phucking psychopath on the far right

I call them the Flying Monkey Squad, but they actually have actual names: Mark Koldys, aka Johnny Dollar, and Ashley Graham, aka Grayhammy. 

[Sadly] I have been writing about these supreme creeps since the very first post on this blog called, appropriately enough, Johnny Dollar Has Proven Himself To Be A Very Dangerous Person. Since that was published just over a year ago, Mark Koldys and Ashley Graham have proven — time and time again — they just can’t to quit me. It’s an addiction with these two MoFos. I am their crack and they just can’t stop hitting on the pipe.

I go about my merry life — such as it is — ignoring The Flying Monkey Squad as best I can. However, from time to time friends message me, “Hey have you seen the latest from the Koldys Kiddie Korner?” Sometimes I take a look, but I certainly don’t reply to every provocation because it’s a daily thing with these nut bars. Not a single day goes by that they don’t reference me on Twitter. There have been many days they spend HOURS in a Twitter circle jerk all about me. Please, as Glenn Beck would say, don’t take my word for it. Feel free to check the Twitter feeds for both Johnny Dollar  and Grayhammy. I suppose I should be flattered at the daily attention, but it’s really creepy, stalking behaviour.

Sickness is as sickness does.

TRIVIA: Mark Koldys [seated], the undisputed Wicked Witch leader of
The Flying Monkey Squad, was the original human model for Grumpy Cat

BTW: I find their Twitter bios to be HIGH-LARRY-US!!! Johnny Dollar proudly proclaims himself, “Blogger on all things cable news and your source for the truth about the Fox News Channel.” Yet, all intelligent people know the truth about the Fox “News” Channel: Most! Mendacious!! Network!!! Ever!!!!

What does it say about Mark Koldys that he has made it his life’s work to defend the indefensible? That he does so with misdirection, red herrings, and deliberate twisting of words taken out of context only means he’s learned well from the Roger Ailes School of Broadcasting.

Ashley Graham’s Twitter bio is even funnier, if that’s possible. Grayhammy claims to be “More of an expert on Canadian Broadcasting than someone else I know!” which is a direct reference to me. Why he’d turn over his biography to me, and leave it that way for a year, is really a subject fit for a trained psychiatrist. “Some people say” Ashley Graham’s wife is a psychologist. If that’s true: Can you take a look into your husband’s crazy behaviour? Ashley Graham has now demonstrated a repeated pattern that can only be put down as part of an Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder. I’m not the only one. His worship of and service to Mark Koldys has people all over the internet accusing him of invading their privacy. What’s up with that?

As I was saying . . . I let the Flying Monkey Squad idiocy build up until I have enough material for a Not Now Silly blog post, exposing their supreme ignorance and their crazy cyber-stalking behaviour. Then I’ll write up something about those assholes and post it here. Which is why I already have a series of posts about Johnny Dollar and his Flying Monkey Squad. Read ’em all; trade ’em with your friends.

Which explains why I ignored their provocation of July 10, 2013, in which Johnny Dollar accused me of stealing his credit card information to commit theft. I know!!! I didn’t believe it either, but here it is as a screen capture from the Mark Koldys shit-hole of a web site:

Actual screen capture from an actual shit-hole of a web site

Note the interesting language: “someone poked and prodded into my background.” Gee, Koldys, projection much??? That’s all The Flying Monkey Squad has done with me: poke and prod into my background. Exposing my sex life on the internet was the result of all their poking and prodding. Johnny Dollar Has Proven Himself To Be A Very Dangerous Person was my reply. And, the crazy Merry-Go-Round continues.

I ignored this July 10th provocation for two reasons:

1). It’s not a good idea to respond to the crazies too often, lest they begin to get the mistaken impression that they are important. Since I had already written about these assholes on June 21st, I wanted some more time to pass before I returned to the subject of the Walking Turds Who Stalk Me On The Internet™. Not Now Silly is not about them and their obsessions. It’s all about me and my obsessions.

2). I was actually hoping Koldys would come out and definitively accuse me of stealing his credit card info so I could sue his fat, sorry ass. However, he’s too much of a coward to actually come out and say it, so he hints about it in a roundabout, douchebaggy way. Two of my friends recognized that he was talking about me and alerted me to the post. Therefore, it’s not terribly well disguised, whether it’s actionable or not.

So, while I was studiously ignoring being called a credit card scam artist, I was alerted to this yesterday by one of my favourite fans. [You know who you are.] Here is another example of The Flying Monkey Squad’s finely-tuned sense of humour:

TO BE FAIR: Ashley Graham was merely responding out of anger on behalf of Johnny Dollar, his Wicked Witch of the West. You can imagine how that conversation may have gone. Watch:

TO BE FAIR: In my recent post Where Did July Go? ► Unpacking The Writer I tweaked their nose. I showed a screen capture of a Google image search of “Flying Monkey Squad” and said it was the best new thing on the internet.

Ashley proved me right by attacking me the very next day, which also proves what I have been saying all along: The Flying Monkey Squad are my most faithful readers. It took Grayhammy almost no time at all to: 

  1. Read my blog post; 
  2. Realize that a Google image search for “Flying Monkey Squad” brings up pictures of Johnny Dollar; 
  3. Do a Google image search for Headly Westerfield; 
  4. Grab the first pic he finds, from a Spanish language web site; 
  5. Trick up his sophomoric little graphic; 
  6. Tweet it out; 
  7. So that he and Johnny Dollar can have a little jerk-off about it.

Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck. Then, after Johnny Dollar and Grayhammy have their daily circle jerk, they can sit back sated. Their Twitter-post-orgasmic bliss will tide them over until the next time they feel the need to cyber-stalk and cyber-attack me. Sickness is as sickness does.

However, d’ya want funny?  A Google image search of “Headly Westerfield” brings up almost as many images of Mark Koldys as it does of me. I’m making Johnny Dollar famous no matter what term you search.

It’s time to grow the fuck up, Koldys. Defending Fox “News” will only take human garbage so far.

Where Did July Go? ► Unpacking The Writer

, , , , ,

As July almost comes to a close, it’s time to look back on what has been an especially exciting month for me. A website I read and respect has seen fit to publish a few of my articles this month. 

My more faithful readers may have already found Why Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law Has Got To Go and Detroit is the New Conservative Wet Dream over at PoliticusUSA. If you’ve not been over there, take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks go to Managing Editor Sarah Jones who recognized my writing ability. While I will still keep updating Not Now Silly several times a week, I will also be freelancing for other publications, such as PoliticusUSA. I already know this writer/editor relationship won’t be the total disaster WebVee Guide turned out to be.

However, by far the best new thing on the internet this month — maybe the entire year — is what happens when you plug “Flying Monkey Squad” into the Googalizer Image Search Engine:

For the uninitiated, The Flying Monkey Squad™ is the name I’ve given to Mark Koldys, aka Johnny Dollar, Ashley Graham, aka Grayhammy, and the entire crew of J$’s ass-kissing sychophants. I don’t know of any of those fancy, schmancy SEO tricks, but clearly I must be doing something right.

Facts & Figures: Top Ten for July

Another thing I must be doing right is delivering words people want to read. The Top 10 for the month are, for the most part, blog posts I’m quite proud of. You can compare how this month stacks up with my All Time Top Ten by taking a gander at the column on the right.

The Top Ten For July

  1. The Detroit Riots ► Unpacking My Detroit ► Part Five
  2. Another Dispatch From Detroit, ‘Merka’s First Throwaway City
  3. Loofah Lad’s Attack Dog Jesse Watters Attacks LGBT Folk
  4. The First Three Stooges ► Nostalgia Ain’t What It Used To Be
  5. Brian Jones ► A Musical Appreciation [My all time most popular post]
  6. No Skin In The Game ► Part One
  7. How Jamaica Conquered The World ► The Day I Met Bob Marley
  8. Happy Birthday Doc Pomus ► A Musical Appreciation
  9. The Case of the Growing Child ► Perry Mason and Me
  10. Dance Music To Change The World ► Happy Birthday Nelson Mandela

If you’ve gotten this far, it’s because you care. Show you truly care by clicking on one of the adverts in the right column on this page. It won’t cost you a thing, but I make a few pennies, and I do mean few. Show you really, really care by clicking two adverts.

Advertising makes the world go round.

The Mark Koldys-Johnny Dollar Comment of the Day

, , , , , ,
The original Grumpy Cat, Mark Koldys

A sincere h/t to my innertube buddy (who wishes to remain anonymous) who always feels the need to fill me in whenever the Flying Monkey Squad™ — Mark Koldys and Ashley Graham — gets to tweeting about me again. 

I don’t see these gems on my Twitter feed because I blocked The Flying Monkey Squad a year ago. Their circle jerks are boring and predictable.

However, every once in a while my electronic friend suggests I take a look. It’s usually worth a glance to see what my Cyber-Stalking Bullies are up to. It’s just not always worth writing about.

However, the most recent links sent to me demonstrate — once again — several things I have already pointed out, but bear repeating:

  • These crazy MoFos are truly obsessed with me. The Flying Monkey Squad could very well be my most faithful followers, and I have some pretty rabid followers;
  • My tweets and facebook postings are poured over, examined, and dissected. Then they are spit back out by the Flying Monkey Squad, as twisted as a Bush-choking pretzel;
  • There’s nothing too trivial that the Flying Monkey Squad won’t use to distort, twist, and lie in order to try and smear me;
  • Mark Koldys, aka Johnny Dollar, enables and cheers on Ashley Graham by retweeting just about every lie he sends out about me;
  • When they retweet me, or discuss me, I pick up a few new followers. Thanks for the free promotion, boys;
  • These people are truly sick fucks who will now accuse me of being obsessed because I have — once again — documented their Cyber-Stalking obsession.

Here is one of Wednesday’s tweets (there were several others in the same vein) in which I am accused of supporting child rape because I happen to support Kate, the young lady in Florida who was charged after she turned 18 with sex crimes at the insistence of her lover’s parents, upset at her lesbianism:

I’d rather be a Fox “News” Hater than a Fox “News” Defender, like Mark Koldys, aka Johnny Dollar. To have to defend Fox “News” for its daily lies must be soul crushing. Unless one has no soul, which may very well be why Mark Koldys can do it for years on end.

As he always does, if he bothers to defend himself at all, Ashley Graham, aka GrayHammy, will say, “Hey! What? Me? I’m just asking questions.”

Here’s a question: Is Ashley Graham a confessed pedophile, or was that Blackflon? I always forget. Either way, Mark Barnard is just another member of The Flying Monkey Squad and they all support each other like any group of psychopathic sycophants who feed off each other. Think Manson Family with computers instead of knives.

Here’s one of Thursday’s tweets. Note how my pathetic little joke about Jack Webb and Neil Cavuto is turned against me:

What does my sex life or my facebook pics or my
tweets have to do with CABLE NEWS TRUTH?

This simply proves, once again, that there’s no comment of mine too trivial for Ashley Graham and Mark Koldys to twist. No low to which they won’t go in order. No lie they won’t concoct. No words they won’t mischaracterize. No decency they won’t vitiate. Over the past year The Flying Monkey Squad has continued to prove — over and over again — what I wrote in the very first post on the Not Now Silly blog: Johnny Dollar Has Proven Himself To Be A Very Dangerous Person.

Grumpy Cat Mark Koldys

Every time Mark Koldys’ Flying Monkey, Ashley Graham, flings poo, most of the shit winds up on Mark Koldys. I love the irony.

Oh, BTW: Have you ever seen this memo in which Mark Koldys supports well-known religious nutcase Pat Robertson for president? In this memo Mark Koldys alleges an evil, dark conspiracy on the part of Jack Kemp to steal the nomination for George Bush. Oddly enough this secret, hush hush, confidential memo got right back to Jack Kemp because this copy was released by Kemp’s office:

Actual memo from Mark Koldys supporting religious nut Pat “Homos Cause Hurricanes” Robertson for POTUS

The Mark Koldys-Johnny Dollar Comment of the Day

, , , , , , ,

It’s been one year since Mark Koldys, aka Johnny Dollar, exposed my alternative lifestyle at his sewer, and clearly he just can’t quit me. However, in typical high school bully-style, he’s accusing me of doing the very thing he’s actually doing himself.

[First off I’d like to thank my various friends, who alert me to all Mark Koldys’ latest nonsense, wherever and whenever it appears. Because I don’t have the time, energy, or inclination to keep up with his obsession, it’s nice to have people who care enough to look out for me.]

Is this the human model for Grumpy Cat?
Who would send me J$’s family pictures?

Here’s the latest controversy: Johnny Dollar, aka Mark Koldys, dropped this turd in the comment section of his own web site, even tho’ he claims his web site is all about CABLE NEWS TRUTH.

Our friend Aunty Headly apparently has some unusual cravings.

However, Mark Koldys must be freelancing again because there’s nothing about CABLE NEWS TRUTH in that facebook photo album he chose to share. In point of fact: Mark Koldys, or his #1 stalker and sycophant Ashley Graham, had to have been crawling all over my facebook pages (again) to discover what’s in my facebook photo albums.

After Mark Koldys shared the link with his Flying Monkey Squad, and after I was alerted to it, I mentioned it in passing on social media because it struck me funny. The stalker Mark Koldys immediately seized upon this offhand remark as some kind of sick win:

Bam! Less than 24 hours. Aunty has already acknowledged reading the above comment. We now know that Headly obsessively reads thru the comments on this website. Hey Aunty, thank you for reading J$P.

Wait!!! What??? It took my friend almost 24 hours to alert me of this? You’re fired!!!

However, it’s highly amusing that Mark Koldys and Ashley Graham dig into my every tweet, facebook status update, and photo album, but if I make note of their sick obsession in passing I am “obsessed, fixated, and possibly in need of professional help.“

This is called “projection.”

And, on cue, the Flying Monkey Squad takes to Twitter to do their Frick and Frack comedy routine for 45 minutes:

No, I suggested it was stalking and cyber-bullying to post it as a comment on your CABLE NEWS TRUTH web site, Who’s obsessed again, Mark Koldys? Some days the Flying Monkey Squad spends hours passing tweets back and forth about me, but pretend I’m the one with the obsession in the very tweets they are obsessing about me. That’s one crazy meta-obsession.

However, credit where credit’s due: Heartfelt thanks to Mark Koldys (aka JohnnyDollar01 in the Twitterverse) and Ashley Graham for being my most faithful readers. Want to see crazy in action? Here’s a live Ashley Graham timeline. He’s clearly one crazy MoFo, but not as crazy as Mark Koldys, his enabler.

Unpacking the Writer ► A New Name; A New Look

, , , , ,
Aunty Em Ericann

When I was leaving Canada 9 years ago I told several people that my goal was to become a nationally known pundit under the nom de plume of Aunty Em Ericann. I did that.

For 8 years I became, for all intents and purposes, Aunty Em, entirely subsuming my identity under which I had already earned a writing reputation. It would have been far easier to have used my reputation as a writer, but somehow this writing project appealed to my warped sense of humour.

I have been a freelance journalist for the better part of 40 years. I got my start writing record reviews, eventually moving on to magazine work, investigative journalism, various words-for-hire projects. For ten years I worked as a Ventriloquist (News Writer) at Citytv. I have long joked that I have done every kind of writing there is, except greeting cards.  Not to blow my own horn, (if not me, who will?) but merely to explain what became a tangled mess in the end. However, as a professional writing project, the longest, greatest, funniest, most interesting, challenging and hardest I ever had was creating the Performance Art character of Aunty Em Ericann. Who knew she would eventually be hired to write for NewsHounds? When my editor agreed to let me keep the nom de plume, I was thrilled.

Johnny Dollar — aka Mark Koldys — plays with his organ.
Remember Mark, like ratings organ size doesn’t matter.

That all ended a year ago, an episode hilariously explored in the very first post on this blog: Johnny Dollar Has Proven Himself To Be A Very Dangerous Person. While he’s still dangerous, I was entirely mistaken: He’s barely a person. He’s a walking piece of shit who recently connected me to the terrorism in Boston. I no longer write for NewsHounds, but that hasn’t stopped him from smearing me.

Laughingly, Johnny Dollar seems to think I crossed some kind of line by publishing pictures of him with his family and he’s become incensed enough to expose his hypocrisy. Here’s the irony: Exposing my alternative lifestyle didn’t seem to cross any kind of moral line for Mark Koldys, but publishing his family pictures is despicable behaviour according to him. It’s refreshing to see he actually draws moral lines about some things, especially when he’s on the receiving end. But, I digress. This isn’t about THAT asshole, or his Flying Monkey Squad. Today’s a day of celebration.

Today is the One Year Anniversary of having that asshole expose my nom de plume and the day I created this blog. The original name of this blog was a reaction to not using my name for 8 long years. So desperate to finally get credit, I called it “Headly Westerfield’s.” To retain the continuity and help bring along my NewsHound readers I used the tagline “Aunty Em Ericann Blog.” However, it’s time to give it the blog a brand new look and a brand new name. Of course, it will still include all the words you’ve come to expect from me. Just in a totally different order for each blog post.

If I had no readers, I’d have 84,842 fewer reasons to write, because that’s how many views Not Now Silly has had since it launched a year ago. However, not to offend any of my faithful readers, I’d be writing even if you weren’t reading. I was a writer long before I had any readers more than 45 years ago.

However, credit where credit’s due: I’m quite fond of most of what has risen to the Top Ten, and that’s entirely because my readers have good taste.

Here’s the Top Ten Of All Time Not Now Silly blog posts (and the date published):

1). Musical Appreciation ► Brian Jones – Jul 3, 2012
2).  The Detroit Riots ► Unpacking My Detroit ► Part Five – Jul 22, 2012
3).  Day In History ► Josephine Baker Born – Jun 3, 2012
4).  Chow Mein and Bolling 5 ► Bully Boy Lies (Again) – Oct 4, 2012
5). Is Marc D. Sarnoff Corrupt Or The Most Corrupt Miami Politician? – Feb 6, 2013
6). Aunty Em Ericann’s Bun Fight With James Rosen of Fox “News” – May 15, 2012
7). How Mitt Romney Didn’t Build That – Oct 17, 2012
8). Day In History ► May 31, 1921 ► When Whites Went Crazy In Tulsa – May 31, 2012
9). Unpacking Coconut Grove ► Part Two ► E.W.F. Stirrup House – Jul 11, 2012
10). Another Magical Tee Vee Moment ► Barbara Walters ► Katehrine Hepburn ► Trees – Jun 1, 2012
  
So, onward and upward as we inaugerate Not Now Silly for the next 365 days. I’m glad you’re here to take the ride with me.

A special big Aunty Em shout out to Keg who designed the new Not Now Silly banner. Thank you so much. I love it.

Is Johnny Dollar The World’s Biggest Hypocrite?

, , , , , , ,
Both of the pictures above were removed from the Johnny
Dollar Depreciation Page because Mark Koldys cried a
river to facebook. Will he report my blog to Google next?

In the last few hours I have received 3 copyright infringement notifications from facebook concerning pictures of Mark Koldys, aka Johnny Dollar, on the Johnny Dollar Depreciation Page. 

IRONY ALERT: For the longest time (although it has now been removed) Johnny Dollar’s Sewer had a prominently placed picture of Ellen, of NewsHounds, posted on his excuse for a blog. Mark Koldys — who hides behind the nom de turd Johnny Dollar — defended posting Ellen’s pic by saying it was FAIR USE because the pic was found on facebook. Now how can Mark Koldys claim I have infringed on HIS copyright by posting pictures I found in public forums on the innertubes? Unless he’s the world’s biggest hypocrite.

I expect Mark Koldys to lie and say he was not the one to report me. However, if that were true it would constitute a crime. Who else would own the copyright to a picture of Mark Koldys in his teens? Only the owner of the copyright can claim an infringement.

Of course, facebook only removes pictures, and warns users, when someone reports an alleged infraction. facebook never
looks into whether there is any truth in the allegation. It just
removes the offending picture and the accused must appeal. Never forget that Mark Koldys is
a former Prosecuting Attorney. They know how to twist the law and
facts.

No matter. All J$, and Greyhammy, know are lies. F’rinstance: After my last post about them Greyhammy denied he had been tweeting about me. However, in his denial he called me the same exact name, and used the same insinuations, as he did when he denied was tweeting about me. He’s not just a liar, but he’s a dumb liar. Screen caps don’t lie, even he does.

Meanwhile, this is the most curious violation notification of the 3 I received from facebook:

How can promoting my own blog be a violation of Mark Koldys’ copyright? Hypocrisy all around tonight.

Fun With Pictures ► Unpacking The Aunty Em Ericann Blog

, , , , , ,
Vulcan mind-meld — you’re doing it wrong.
Caption Contest winner: ET

To pick up where I left off in my Unpacking The Aunty Em Ericann Blog series, dear readers . . .

In the wake of Johnny Dollar exposing my nom de plume and sex life — and while still mightily pissed off — I created a facebook page called The Johnny Dollar Depreciation Society and invited some people to join. Only 15 people ever did and I promptly forgot all about it. That is, until recently. The other day I added a few more pics of Johnny Dollar that people had sent me over the last few months, as I continue to research my book.

This morning I received the following private message from a █████ ██████, who claims to be the brother to the aforementioned walking pile of human excrement Mark Koldys. Why anyone would admit to that is beyond me, but he did. Now I need to caution everybody that anyone can claim to be █████ ██████. Furthermore, any █████ ██████ can claim to be a brother to one of the biggest assholes on the planet, just like I claimed to be Aunty Em Ericann for 7 fun years. Just like anyone can claim to be Morty Shatz, Ngu AliceSamatha, or Oy Humidity, all recent facebook contacts that I suspect of being Dollarites who are catfishing me.

You see, dear reader, that’s one of my problems these days. Johnny Dollar has made me extremely paranoid about every new out-of-the-woodwork-interweb-contact, including professed brothers of supreme assholes. And, that’s a terrible position for a journalist to be in.

Anyway, I digress. This particular ‘Brother █████’ wrote to The Johnny Dollar Depreciation Society, which is me:

Hello. I was hoping you would consider a request. Your site is most interesting however I do hope that your intended focus is not the dead parent of Johnny D or his brother (myself a lifelong Democrat..Kerry, Gore, Obama). You may feel free to tangle with him to your hearts content. I have asked Facebook to request you remove just the family pictures. I am hoping you will do so. I have no dog in this fight. However remember an old saying… If you kick the dog you own the bite… if you tickle the dog you own the delight.
I appreciate your understanding.

What a polite message and that’s no snark. I’m assuming this so-called █████ ██████ is referring to this picture:

Unlike how I posted this pic on facebook, the innocent faces are blacked out.
Mark Koldys is on the far right with the pens in his pocket and the snazzy plaid pants.

My very public reply:

█████: Thank you for your polite message. It’s just a shame you didn’t come to me first before you alerted facebook.

However, how can I refuse such a polite request? I removed the picture from The Johnny Dollar Depreciation Society as soon as I received your request. As you say, my intended focus is not your deseased father ████ [pictured at left] or yourself [middle]. Unfortunately, facebook was unaware I had already removed the COVER picture, so it removed a new COVER picture that (I assume) you would not have disproved of. Oh well.

Mark Koldys at some nuptials

Having said all that, your alleged brother deserves whatever public humiliation which can be brought down upon him. In his effort to defend Fox “News” against the indefensible, your brother has “gone over the line” on so many occasions. No one cares that he defends Fox “News.” Different strokes, and all that. It’s that his modus operandi is lies, misdirection and personal attacks. He is, dare I say it, the very type of person that’s hurting ‘Merka.

Mark Koldys proved he will stoop to ANY low when he viciously attacked NewsHound writer Aunty Em Ericann (me!) and exposed the fact that I was using that as my Performance Artist Nom De Plume™, even though hundreds of people already knew and it was not that big a secret. While I always
expected that to happen eventually, I never expected there would be an asshole creepy enough to expose details of my sex life at the same time.
Enter and sign in please, Mark Koldys, aka Johnny Dollar.

Just so you know, █████, because I think you should have all the facts, the details of my sex life were later removed from his blog, now leaving it up to
everyone’s imagination what it might be. He even threatened to put it back because I complained about that. Johnny Dollar — Mark Koldys — has never apologized for what he did to me and
even defended it on several occasions. He only removed the details, he
made abundantly clear, because it offended the precious sensibilities of
one of his sycophants, not because he had any crisis of confidence.

IRONY ALERT: Mark Koldys decrying the exact
tactics he employs against every NewsHound writer.

Furthermore, he did this knowing full-well that I was about to attend a large family reunion in the Detroit area. That you claim to be his family and are feeling some slight discomfort about a pic on facebook is kind of cute. I had to explain this brouhaha to HUNDREDS of people, including family and friends. Every once in a while, 9 months later, it still pops up and I have to explain all over again.

How much of your own sex life have you been forced to share with how many people?

“Some people say” I was merely collateral damage in the 8-year war Johnny Dollar has waged against the NewsHounds web site. If you feel wounded remember you’re just another casualty of your alleged brother’s dirty business.

Before I sign off █████, I’m hoping the following anecdote will make you laugh as much as it did “some people” who dislike Johnny Dollar:

On the same day I posted the pic that you asked me to remove from facebook, a friend taught me how to use Google Images to search a particular image for similar images. Just for shits and giggles I plugged your brother’s picture into the search engine. I admit I was really just being a jerk, but it seemed like a fun exercise at the time. Unfortunately it found no matches. However, as a secondary function, Google returns “Visually similar images.” I took a screen cap, because that also amused me. Then I shared it with some people who dislike Johnny Dollar, for no other reason than I knew it would amuse all of us.

That’s when one of them pointed out that on the bottom row, in the very middle, is Josef Mengele, Adolph Hitler’s Angel of Death.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Josef Mengele

I haven’t stopped laughing since and keep wondering how many other mass murderers are among those 27 mugshots.

Once again, █████, I appreciate your good manners, something your alleged brother clearly never learned. I have no quarrel with you. Feel free to friend me on facebook, subscribe to my Twitter feed, or follow my blog. And, why not join The Johnny Dollar Depreciation Society while you’re at it. You’d be welcome.

With all my love,
Aunty Headly

Unpacking the Aunty Em Ericann Blog

Welcome to my occasional entry of Unpacking the Aunty Em Ericann Blog, where I ask my readers to pay attention to the man behind the curtain, who used to be “Aunty Em Ericann,” the woman behind the curtain.

Before I left Canada, 7 years ago, I told several people (who may now be too embarrassed to admit to knowing me) that I was going to become a nationally-known pundit in ‘Merka under the nom de plume “Aunty Em Ericann.” To that end I created the meta-character named Aunty Em Ericann, who eventually came to write at NewsHounds. The back story for Aunty Em was deceptively simple. Here’s her biographical profile:

Emily Ericann. That’s my real name. Well it was, before I went back to my maiden name after the divorce. My ex and I were dating for 2 months before we realized that if we got married my name could be pronounced “american” (Em Ericann). After it all went bad, I realized that’s the only real reason we got married. Ironically, I am a former American. However, I lived in Canada three and a half decades and became a Canadian citizen along the way. And yet, I recently returned to The Land of My Birth to take care of my aged father. Shocked by the before and after differences in America, I will use this forum to speak out.

Rózsa is in the center. The sack of shit who hides
behind the name of Johnny Dollar is on the far left.

I got away with the nom de plume for a number of years before the two-legged piece of excrement named Johnny Dollar decided it was his mission in life to expose Aunty Em’s identity, along with my sex life. That story is outlined in Johnny Dollar Has Proven Himself To Be A Very Dangerous Person, the very first post on this blog.

However, my long-time readers already know that story. If they’ve been paying attention they also know that my Unpacking Aunty Em Ericann Blog series is merely an excuse to find clever ways to remind them to click on some of the advertising, so I can keep the Aunty Em Ericann Blog rolling. It won’t cost you anything, but will add a few pennies (and I do mean few) to my coffers, helping to support this enterprise.

I’m looking at YOU!

Meanwhile, one statistic I can access through the Blogger platform is
what search terms people have used to find their way to the Aunty Em Ericann Blog. Take a look at this chart for this week:

Top Ten search terms delivering readers to the “Aunty Em Ericann” blog this week. They all make sense except #8.

I don’t know what disturbs me the most: That this week one of the search terms that people used to arrive here was “boy staked to the ground”; that three separate people used the search term “boy staked to the ground”; or that, somehow, “boy staked to the ground” brings people to my blog, even though I’ve tried it without any luck. While I’m thinking about it, I’m not so sure of Arawak People being on this blog either.

From time to time I also like to review what my Top Ten posts are. I can see which ones are highly-rated at any given moment in time, or by the day, by the week, by the month, and of all time since the Aunty Em Ericann Blog launched.

Unpacking the Aunty Em Erican Blog At Six Months

Light the candles and break out the noise-makers!!! The Aunty Em Ericann Blog celebrates Six Months of Existence this week. And to think it all started with Johnny Dollar Has Proven Himself To Be A Very Dangerous Person on April 19, 2012.

It’s been a wild six months for both my readers and myself. In that time I have written 180 posts and published tens of thousands of words. I’ve made new friends and, just as importantly, made several new enemies. However, what have I learned in that time? Among other things, I’ve learned that posts on Brian Jones are hugely popular. My highest-rated post is the July 3, 2012 post on Brian Jones. As of this writing it has had 1991 hits, which is more than twice as many as my 2nd highest-rated post on Josephine Baker, while exactly a month older has only 863 hits. That’s also more than 3 times my Number Three most popular post detailing my HIGH-LARRY-US bun fight with the Fox “News” correspondent James Rosen, which has only 619 hits.

expert and historical revisionist

For the longest time the Rosen post was my most popular. It was sad to see it slide to Number Three because it was my first post about Fox “News” (aside from all my writing at NewsHounds). Its popularity gave me the impetus to launch several wildly popular series on my blog, including The Fox News Spin Cycle and Chow Mein and Bolling. Just this week I spun off a new series called Judge Not, exploring the Libertarian mind (such as it is) of Judge Andrew Napolitano, the Fox “News” Senior Judicial Analyst.

The Number Four Post in my All Time Top Ten is a sleeper that crept up on me. It also happens to be about Fox News. I was shocked when the so-called “news” channel (in the guise of Bill “Loofah Lad” O’Reilly) felt the need to attack Randy Newman for his “I’m Dreaming” song. Since being published on September 22, 2012 it’s already wracked up 471 hits in just a month, which might make it my fastest growing post in popularity. It will be interesting to see how it does over the long haul.

The E.W.F. Stirrup House

My Number Five All Time Post is the one that I wish was really my Number One, because it’s an issue near and dear to my heart. If you’ve not been following my Unpacking Coconut Grove series, please take a look. I am trying to save the historic 120-year old E.W.F. Stirrup House from Demolition by Neglect. A 120-year old house doesn’t sound like much, but compared to everything else in Florida, that’s ancient. The house is not only architecturally important, but culturally important as well. It marks the zenith of the Bahamian community in Coconut Grove which helped build and serve the rest of the community. It was built by one of Florida’s first Black millionaires who . . . Well, please go read it for yourself. Suffice to say that E.W.F. Stirrup was a man way ahead of his time. His important legacy will be lost when his house no longer stands.

However, as much as I am interested in looking back, I am just as interested in the current Top Ten Posts of the Week. Here’s how that breaks down.

I want to thank all my readers who drop in to read what I have to say. While you’re at my blog, please take the time to click on one of the adverts. It will cost you nothing, but it adds a few (and I do mean few) pennies to my account and helps support the time and energy it takes to maintain the Aunty Em Ericann Blog. Thanking you in advance.
