Cujo/CUJO


As some of you may know, I am a big Stephen King fan. All during the pandemic I basically read nothing but Stephen King books – most very good, some only fair or mediocre, and some outstanding. In my opinion, his best are “The Green Mile” (also a great movie) and “11/22/63” (an extremely long, interesting, and unusual look at of the JFK assassination on Nov. 22, 1963). Right now I am reading “Cujo,” which is about a rabid bloodthirsty St. Bernard by the same name. Even though it’s too early to tell how this story will turn out, I have learned that dogs, including Cujo, have an innate skill of being able to recognize fear and weakness in a person. 

In today’s world that same fear and weakness reminds me of our own CUrmudgeon JOe biden (CUJO), although in a reverse way as right from the git-go, enemies of the USA sense fear and weakness in CUJO and they stepped right up and challenged him. 

In March 2021 shortly after CUJO took office, he summoned his Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan to meet with the Chinese delegation in Alaska. At that meeting the US delegation was embarrassed by China’s top diplomat, Yang Jiechi, who had the audacity to state, “Many people within the United States actually have little confidence in the democracy of the United States.” Apparently Jiechi sensed fear and weakness and consequently went for the throat, just like the St. Bernard does in King’s book. 

Here in the last two weeks multiple other examples of the same.

The Colonial Pipeline was shut down by Russian hackers. The response from CUJO … nothing! The advancement of Russian troops to the Ukraine border. The response of CUJO … nothing! The Chinese harassing Taiwan and taking liberties in the South China Sea. The response from CUJO … nothing. Hamas from Gaza lobbing over a thousand rockets into Israel. Why? Could it be that they were emboldened by by the weakness and timidity of CUJO? Our southern border is now a mess. Many of those who are stampeding to get into the USA may not speak English, but just like the dog Cujo they can sense the weakness of our own CUJO. 

Are all these crises at the same time just a coincidence? I think not. 

But, hey, at least our CUJO is not a “mean-tweeter!”
