And Now, On With The Show!

stilton's place, stilton, jarlsberg, conservative, comedy, news, hope n' change, trump, lefty lucy
Funny, we thought your generation knew ALL the four letter words...
Well, that didn't take long, did it? Only one month after wrapping up Hope n' Change, here I am with a brand new (yet hauntingly familiar) blog! Which may raise some questions on your part, like...

"What the heck made you change your mind about doing a blog again?"

Several things. First and foremost, it turns out that I really missed being in touch with the great HnC community. I was made keenly aware of this fact when I decided to purge the various lifelong friends on Facebook who, post-election, were declaring me and my ilk (note: you are that ilk) to be fascists, racists, pussy-grabbers, and haters. After which I had nobody left to talk to online, which was relaxing but boring.

"Why not just continue doing Hope n' Change Cartoons?"

We are now living in a very different political world and it just didn't feel right. Hope n' Change had a specific mission, which was to see Barack Obama removed from office (and simultaneously point out the myriad foibles and failings of those on the Left). Mission accomplished - albeit the hard way.

The dynamic now is very different. Donald Trump is Presidenting like he has a roman candle shooting out of his rear end, which is sometimes good, sometimes bad, and always (gulp) exciting. Meanwhile, those on the Left have upped their game from "insane" to "criminally insane," having conniption fits over the slightest of upsets and calling for the blood of conservatives to flow in the streets. Yikes!

It's an uglier and more intense battlefield than it was before, and frankly I've reached an age where I don't need the stress of swinging that vorpal sword three times a week.

"But Stilton - you look so young, vigorous, and handsome! And you've lost some weight, right?"

Yes, a little - thank you for noticing. But as I was saying, I just wasn't in the mood to get back into obsessing over the news and doing 3 cartoons and full-length commentaries every week for another run of 4 to 8 years. And various HnC stalwarts have told me that they'd still like to hang out, but would also like an occasional break from politics.

Ergo - Stilton's Place. I'll post something every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. A cartoon, a graphic, an editorial, or whatever else strikes my fancy (I really should protect my fancy by wearing a cup). The subject may be politics, entertainment, venting about home repairs, doctor visits, or arguing that "The Kid from Borneo" was the best ever episode of The Little Rascals (fact). Or maybe I'll just declare it to be an "open microphone" day with YOU supplying the topics in the comments area!

"Is it still confusing how we REACH the darn comments area?"

Think of it as the intellectual equivalent of Trump's border wall, intended to keep out riff-raff, rapists, and ruffians.

To comment, you just need to click on the title above the day's post (in this case: "And Now, On With The Show") or click on the number of comments shown at the bottom of the post. That will take you to a fresh page where you can frolic, gambol, and commune with old friends from HnC and hopefully new friends who are looking for an online oasis of erudition, goodwill, and general wise-assery.

"Will you occasionally create new political cartoons under the Hope n' Change banner?"

Why, yes! How insightful of you to ask...!

stilton's place, stilton, jarlsberg, conservative, comedy, news, hope n' change, trump, immigrants, illegal aliens, pipeline
Sadly, someone already beat me to declaring CNN to be the Clown News Network.
Such cartoons will be posted here and (probably) on Facebook. They will not be published at the old HnC site, which is going to be preserved as a standalone archive: my very own version of the Barry Soetoro Presidential Library and Progressive Holocaust Museum. 

"Is this new site entirely finished and running like a Swiss watch?"

No. I'll be tweaking the look and function for awhile (with your help). But I didn't want "perfect to be the enemy of the good" (especially since I find web design baffling) and so opted to get this site running as soon as possible.

"So...is it good to be back?"

Yes. Very good. And it's good to have you back, too - I'll see you in the comments section!

Welcome Back Stilton!

This insane world desperately needs your sense of humor and mockery.

Occasionally, I point out to people that what passes for news announcements today could have come directly from "SNL NEWS" (Belushi Aykroyd era) which would have the audience rolling in the aisles. They stare at me with a clueless look - like what was my point.

People (especially progressives) have lost all calibration regarding history and humor.

So glad you're back. Trying to vent on other blogs was SO unsatisfying because they usually don't get me.

Excellent! I now have my number one stop, again. It's like an early birthday present (which is tomorrow ... the 23rd anniversary of my 39th birthday). Welcome back, and thank you!.

Will you be creating a new mailing for this site or will you just continue the Hope n' Change one?

So glad you're back ... and I like what you've done with the place. Please give Penny a treat for us, and a hearty thanks to Mrs., Jarlsberg for sharing you with us.

I take back all the nasty thoughts I had about you when you decided to deprive us of new material at HnC. Thank you for returning, although it has been a hoot watching all the pointy little liberal heads exploding I missed your humor. Glad you're back

chef621 said...


What a pleasant surprise this morning! Great to see you again Stilt and all of the "commentiers". I missed all of you guys! Now I have something to look forward to again! When you're 80 you don't have a lot to look forward to. Every bit of humor helps!

I finally figured out what could be done with the detention camps that are built around the US in various places. Fill em full of the crazies that are rioting and burning. Or else deport em to Antarctica. They don't deserve to live in the USA.

Welcome back Stilt!!!!

Once again, I have a reason to look forward to the week. Thanks Doc. I just read that the Oscar ceremony people announced the wrong picture for the worst picture award. The leftists in their own la-la-land couldn't even get that right. I won't watch that drivel, and intellectual wasteland. What other profession (term used loosely) has a big ceremony to pat themselves on the back?

With the left out of power, they are out of control and crazier than ever. The well you are drawing from for entertaining and informing readers is overflowing. Liberals will continue to make your job so easy. Daily they prove that Liberalism is a mental disorder and they will continue to hurt the ones they like and help the ones they hate.

Glad you're back! This is fantastic. Now I can breathe a little easier, knowing that there is still a little humor left in the world. Lefties can't laugh.

When you said Borneo, I just knew it was the "Yum, yum, eat 'em up" guy. The only other one (s?) I really recall was "Free Wheelin'" and one of the kids saying "Re-marrrr-ka-ble". Ah, afternoon TV.

Phoebe said...

I've never posted comments on this blog before, even though I've been faithfully following it for some time. But I just HAD to join the "Welcome Back" chorus, because when you said farewell I found myself wanting to find a safe space and a coloring book and a puppy to cry into. Or maybe a safe puppy and a coloring space and and a book to cry into ... or something. But then I remembered that I'm a grownup. So I suffered stoically. But now you're back, you're back, huzzah and huzzah! Thank you!

Re: the new look. In the mobile version (the only internet I have) the red star fields run right through the comments and make them harder to read. A little annoying, but I can live with it.

Finally some relief for my delirious tremors. I find facistbook to be annoying and so didn't see your postings there very often - or at least often enough. Your humorous and inciting observations provide both inspiration and confirmation that I am not alone in wondering just what the hell is happening to this country I love.

31 days. 31 dry days. 31 dry, dusty days. 31 dry, dusty days crawling through the sand. 31 dry, dusty days crawling through the sand looking for water; chasing one mirage after another. Hot. Dry. Miserable. Depressing. Frantic. Afraid the end is near. Suddenly something appears on the horizon. It looks like an oasis, but is it only a mirage? Crawl. One. Crawl. Last. Crawl. Effort. Plunge into the water and I see Lefty Lucy cavorting in the shallows. All I need now is to have Busty Ross here to offer me a cool drink and a tender touch on my fevered brow. But, it is good. It is no mirage. I'm in my home away from home. I'm at the feet of a clown. A ridiculous clown holding a sign: Stilton's Place. It looks oddly out of place in the vast dry desert, but it's home. Ahhhhh, Stilty, you've done it again.

Having just retired last week, I was concerned with how I would spend some of this free time. Prayers = Answered. Stilton's Place looks to be just that ticket!

Oops. I meant I was wondering how I would be able to retain my sanity WITHOUTHope n Change.

Squidball said...

Thank God (and YOU) you're back. The withdrawal symptoms had become a reality, lost sleep, missed nausea I used to get from Hope n. Change, and a strange feeling that the world was passing me by because of a lack of cynical truth I relied upon in losing arguments with my wife (female, not male :-) ) Looking forward to commenting and especially the was to do so as it seemed almost impossible to comment on Hope n. Change in the past.

John the Econ said...

Welcome back! We've missed you. And not a second too soon as there's so much to talk about.

Let's see, in your neighborhood it appears that doping is now legal in women's sports. Once again, I have to ask exactly which ideology is fronting this War on Women I keep hearing about.

If I was a more insecure sort, I might be questioning my life choices this morning; grasping for meaning in my existence in the wake of Viola Davis's comment that she "...became an artist and thank God I did because we are the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life." Us non-Hollywood types? We're just fooling ourselves. Our lives are less than well-lived. (Still doesn't explain why half the people in that room of "well-lived" people are drug addicts)

While the Clinton machine supposedly grooms Chelsea to lead the next generation's dynasty, she repeatedly demonstrates why she'll not be up to the task outside of the Idiocracy universe. They really ought to take her Twitter away.

After over a decade, a trillion dollars and thousands of American lives spent, this is still going on in Afghanistan.

And finally, racist Democrats pass over antisemite Keith Ellison to lead the party. I am very disappointed.

Good to be back.

Stilton Jarlsberg said...

@Readers- Group hug, everybody! (grin) I'm goosebumps all over (well, I haven't checked all over) from the warm reception and I humbly thank one and all.

To answer a few questions people have brought up, if you're on the Hope n' Change mailing list there's no need to sign up for anything again - you'll get emails regularly. And I'll put up a widget on the Stilton's Place page soon for new people to add their names if they like (it will be the same list). For now, anyone can get on the list by clicking on this link. And of course, you won't miss anything if you just drop by StiltonsPlace.com every day.

And leave it to our good friend @John the Econ to throw some political topics into the fray today! Some comments:

Regarding the female-transitioning-to-male wrestler on steroids who just defeated all of the unaugmented female wrestlers in his/her class, it makes me wish that reasonable people could come up with reasonable solutions these days. Clearly, it's not fair to the other wrestlers to compete against this artificially bulked-up specimen, and sometimes what's fair for the many should outweigh what's theoretically fair for a minority of one. Not that I blame the transitioning athlete here; I blame those making the ridiculous rules.

Regarding Viola Davis (who presumably has siblings named Violin, Cello, and Double Bass) declaring that acting is the only profession that "celebrates what it means to live a life," all I can do is laugh at her preposterous self-absorption. I immediately think of people in the medical field, the military, educators (real educators - not snowflake farmers), members of the clergy, and indeed everyone who works to live a moral life and help others. As a sometimes scriptwriter, I never knew I should be taking credit for making actors into Godlike beings.

On the subject of Chelsea Clinton's arrogant idiocy, it seems hauntingly familiar. And I fail to see how it will negatively impact her popularity on the Left.

Sex slavery in Afghanistan? Appalling, of course. As is Keith Ellison, who is now "Deputy" head of the DNC, so that we can enjoy the worst of two anti-white lamebrains.

Dan said...

Welcome back.
Bookmarked the new site even before I read it.

As for testosterone girl, I think at least one of the competing non-doped girls' parents should file suit against the school/athletic system that put on the circus and allowed manly girl to compete. Is there no limit to the idiocy of these people?

Lawfare time. I trust there is some lawyer/group out there that will take this case and sue the hell out of the competition-putter-onner clowns pro bono. (But not pro Chaz Bono.)

So happy to see you again! You bring joy to a day filled with fear, tension and insanity.

Your like my, wake up read Stiltson get buffed up and immune to the rest of the day's snowflakes attacks. Your my spinach as it was to Popeye... strength, will power, and brain cells! As to Keith Ellison, can you hear me screaming in Minnesota? Thank the Lord he won't be around Duluth, but if he does come to preach, I will have some lovely bacon/ham/egg sandwiches for him or better yet, a quiche with hidden pig parts... it's easy to hide anything in a quiche. Minnesota is not the land of 10,000 lakes... they lie about that, but it is the land of 10,000+ moronic idiotic dumb clueless stupid brainless has to be the first at anything bizarre in a state, kind of snowflakes. A state where they elect has been wrestlers,(Ventura) & guys who wear diapers on Sat. Night Live who get elected and are still in office,(Al Franken) have a Muslim use the Koran to pledge allegiance to our country & state, declares mosquitos a public nuisance, and the snowflakes here are narrow minded, and yet, completely delusional about how great they are. Thanks to Obama not giving seniors a COLA 3 times during his acting career in DC, I'm still stuck in MN.

@Dan
Speaking of lawsuits; I would hope that Autism Speaks slaps the crap out of the @$$#0!e$ who appropriated the puzzle piece logo that has been theirs like forever.
A bunch of flakes using that symbol to brag about being sooo enlightened that they will proudly renounce their supposed superiority makes me sick.
Those idiots don't even realize that by proclaiming they have no "privilege" they are in fact showing that they believe they are proud of that "privilege".

CenTexTim said...

Yay! As the previous 110+ commenters have said, Welcome Back! Now I have a reason (excuse) to have a second cup of 'coffee' MWF mornings.

While you were out of the room, we had this delicious bit of unintended honesty air on MSNBC. Co-host Mika Brzezinski of 'Morning Joe' slipped up and admitted what most of us already knew. Speaking of Donald Trump, she said:

"...he is trying to undermine the media and trying to make up his own facts. And it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. And that, that is our job." (emphasis added)

Like they say, you can't make this stuff up.

Does he have a shut-off button???

Vegasray2014 said...

This is great! I totally enjoy your output. Having recently lived outside the USA for approx 47 years then returning only a few years ago, feels like I am living in an alternate universe. Common courtesy that was just a normal thing as I was growing up is hard to find as is common sense. The third world country I was living in doesn't have the sanitation, technology or electrical reliability of the USA but in many ways was better. Trump, warts and all is the best hope we have of keeping our freedom and returning to a thriving land of opportunity for all. If Liberals and Sanders get their way we will turn into another Venezuela.

After 8 (no doubt exhausting for you) years of your perceptive insights and spot-on commentary on "Mr. 'Hope n' Change'" himself and his criminal comrades, you certainly earned yourself a well deserved break. I think all of us were frazzled to our wits end after enduring so many lies and endless Orwellian doublespeak during his "reign," (although I sure don't remember hearing about all those "alt-right" violent protests during any of that time.) My Mon, Wed and Fri's just haven't been the same since you began your hiatus, so I am so glad to hear that you will be once again providing the humor and insight me and your other fans need to begin our days with a good dose of laughter, although hopefully with not quite as many tears mixed in as before. You know, even with Trump in the Oval Office, there will never be a shortage of material for you to cover as his many enemies have been providing plenty of good source material ever since Inauguration Day and the P***y Hat "revolution" the following day, and they sure ain't going away any time soon. There will plenty to keep Lefty Lucy and her fellow Libtards in a constant rage. Keep up the great work.

Glad to see you back in/on/or folded over (whichever the case should be) the saddle! Your posts have been missed.

P.S. In case any of you Stilt fans are wondering why I put "Yakety Yak" beside my name in my earlier post, it was a reference to a message I sent to Stilt the week after the election (he loved it BTW,) where I rewrote my own version of the lyrics to the 1958 song by the same title The Coasters did where I made them rhyme and fit the theme after Hillary lost the election. I hope all you Stilton's Place readers will enjoy this too. (Stilt: I hope you don't mind me sharing this now with your readers.)

Original lyrics on the left below with my updated current version beside them on the right.

Now, click on that link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtTC3pGBjs4) and sing along with me....


Take out the papers and the trash (Take out the Clintons with the trash)
Or you don't get no spendin' cash (cause they been bribin' all that cash)
If you don't scrub that kitchen floor (the deplorables you abhore)
You ain't gonna rock and roll no more (say you not gonna racketeer no more)
Yakety yak (don't talk back) (Yakety yak [don't come back!])


Just finish cleanin' up your room (So take your self and rapist groom)
Let's see that dust fly with that broom (Let's see you fly out on your broom)
Get all that garbage out of sight (Get all your garbage out of sight)
Or you don't go out Friday night (Take back the country from your blight)
Yakety yak (Don't talk back) (Yakety yak [don't come back!])


You just put on your coat and hat (Toss them Mao suits you dirty rat)
And walk yourself to the laundromat (Move outta that fancy New York flat)
And when you finish doin' that (bang out license plates you'll work at)Bring in the dog and put out the cat (Soon you and Huma be doing that)
Yakety yak (Don't talk back) (Yakety yak [don't come back!])


Don't you give me no dirty looks (Tired of your cheatin' and dirty books)
Your father's hip, he knows what cooks (Cause you and Bill ain't nothin' but crooks)
Just tell your hoodlum friend outside (We'll kick all your hoodlum friends aside)
You ain't got time to take a ride (We wanna see Justice tan your hide)
Yakety yak (Don't talk back) (Yakety yak [don't come back!])


Yakety yak (Don't Come Back!)

Thank you so much. The new place goes right to the top of Favorites.
Welcome back. :-D

Stilton,

Hah! I knew it! You couldn't stand life without the blog.

Actually, I didn't know it, but I hoped it. And just as I turned 65, POW! A spanking brand new, wonderfully crafted place to go laugh and perhaps vent a bit three times a week (or more). It was a fine birthday present indeed, and I'm sure you did it just for me.

Nope, we don't have O'Liar occupying our house in DC anymore, but Lord only knows there are so many things to discuss or lampoon, we could still blog forever.

Thanks again for your decision to resume this endeavor!

DrRiff said...

Cool - I'm on board and glad that you are back!

Makes my day to see you back, Stilton! Same for Lucy, the only Lefty I'd rather silence with smooches than hard facts (although, in her case, I might have to allow myself just one hard fact).

Joe Jetson said...

Welcome Back, Cotter...er, Stilton. The left is so lonney-toons that there MUST be official documentation for future generations.

Alfonso Bedoya said...

Stilton: Glad to see you back, but if throwing yourself into as heavy a schedule (three days/week)as before means that you would need a therapy dog, I would be happy even if you limited your H&C comments to once or twice a month.

RTinWeimar said...

Yea !!!...Stilton's back. Let the games begin.

pdwalker said...

That muse of yours is an awful monkey on your back.

Welcome back! I shall endeavor not to wish ill of you because of your horrible puns.

Susan (rainy) said...

when what to my wondering eyes did appear... It feels like Christmas!
Stilton!! You're back!! :)

RKC62 said...

Hey! Great to see you back (even if I'm a little late to the party)
As an aside, I deeply suspect Barry will be back in the news soon enough as he continues his attempt to derail a democratic United States. Keep the option open to update HnC !
Cheers

Hey Zeus, I finally break the habit, good or bad not judging, you decide to restart the damn mower. Good thing my feet weren't under it.
Ripe cheese is always the best cheese.
Go ahead, cut the cheese.

Just discovered you. How great to be able to joke and laugh again. Thank you I am passing your site on to my friends. We used to be able to do this prior to Obama and not be considered Un correct. That is what this SAFE USA is about: to be seen, to be heard ; to work and to play.
