The word \u201ccunt\u201d is one of the most radioactive in the United States. Even George Carlin shied away from it.<\/p>\n
But in the UK and portions of Canada, where I was raised, it has another meaning. Oh, it is still a ugly term for vagina, but the far more pervasive usage is to describe a weak, nasty, contemptible and generally pathetic and\/or despicable person. For example: Boris Johnson is a cunt. So is King Charles. Outside of World War 2, Winston Churchill was an immense cunt. Every member of the Trump family covering four generations are cunts. Yes, under this definition, women can be cunts, too. Margaret Thatcher was a cunt. So was that 30 day wonder last year at 10 Downing\u2014wossname the Tory cunt. (Yeah, I\u2019m going to make you look that one up.) Here in the States, Armpit Maggie and Bobo are cunts. With Elon Musk it has to be in all caps and with a blue verified tick.<\/p>\n
While I don\u2019t avoid the word, I kinda save it for special occasions, special people. Besides, all the words you couldn\u2019t say on TV ten years ago are all over the place in this era of Trump. If you say \u2018shite\u2019 a nun might look at you and try to correct your pronunciation. Cunt is about the only word left with any shock value. (Cussing is a human universal custom; new words will come along. Don\u2019t worry.)<\/p>\n
This all brings us to one of the more obscure corners of Oklahoma, McCurtain County. If you haven\u2019t heard of it, don\u2019t worry. There are probably people in the Oklahoma state government who hadn\u2019t heard of it before last week. It\u2019s about 30,000 people, 70% of which are white and 9% are black. Agriculture and forestry are the main industries, along with a tourist trade exploiting the legacy of the Choctaw nation now that it has been safely destroyed. It went for Trump by 67 points in 2016. If the county doesn\u2019t already have a motto, I suggest a line from Gene McDaniels\u2019 \u2018Compared To What\u2019: \u201cPoor Dumb Rednecks, Rollin\u2019 Along.\u201d<\/p>\n
What McCurtain County DOES have, though, is something lamentably missing in much of the rest of the country: an independent, engaged local journalism. Most of that element of democracy has been bought up by plutocrats and corporations, which is a leading reason why the country as a whole is so fucked up.<\/p>\n
McCurtain Gazette-News<\/i> is an actual on-paper newspaper. It doesn\u2019t have a website. The owner and publisher is one local guy, Bruce Willingham, and the leading reporter is his son, Chris Willingham.<\/p>\n
Over the past several years, the two have run some 30 articles detailing corruption in the county sheriff\u2019s department. Like most cops who get held to account (still far too seldom an occurrence) this lot were unamused. They didn\u2019t like the Willinghams and their snitchy little paper, not one bit.<\/p>\n
It came to Chris Willingham\u2019s notice that the Sheriff, along with the County Board of Supes, were having informal \u201coff the record\u201d meetings in which official business was being discussed. That contravenes Oklahoma state law on open meetings concerning official proceedings. So he set out to show this was going on. He left a voice activated recorder in the room he believed the meetings were taking place.<\/p>\n
He did catch the usual suspects (Sheriff Kevin Clardy, District 2 Commissioner Mark Jennings, Investigator Alicia Manning, and Jail Administrator Larry Hendrix, hereafter referred to as \u201ca pack of cunts\u201d) having a meeting. But they weren\u2019t discussing official business. At least, I hope to christfuck it wasn\u2019t considered official business. Judging from the scalded-cat reactions of various officials in OK all the way up to the governor, it was something they knew was wrong, and we\u2019ll save whether they believed it was wrong for another time. \u201cOklahoma Crude\u201d refers to more than just oil.<\/p>\n
The pack of cunts were discussing the Willinghams and their newspaper. The elder Willingham had just filed a defamation suit against the four, and they were not happy about it.<\/p>\n
Alicia Manning, who investigates crimes, is heard suggesting that she needed to take some packages to a shipping center near the newspaper\u2019s office. Without context it seems an innocent enough remark. In context, though, where they are discussing killing the Willinghams and disposing of their bodies, it\u2019s pretty clearly a terrorist threat. Cunt Commish Mark Jennings just happened to know of \u201ctwo big deep holes\u201d that might be of use. Sheriff Kevin (Big Cunt) Clardy just happened to mention he had an excavator should a need for holes in a different locale arise. Jennings, apparently realizing what was needed in order to fill these holes, hypothetical or otherwise, said, \u201cI\u2019ve known two or three hit men, they’re very quiet guys\u2026\u201d Probably less messy than what dear sweet Alicia had in mind for her local shipping center.<\/p>\n
Moving on from the fascist fantasies of assassinating the local journalists, they turned to another, more racist theme. I should mention at this point that nearly all fascists and by definition, all racists are cunts. You have to be a cunt to feel the way these people do, and to feel the way they do, you have to be a cunt. It\u2019s a closed circle of cuntishness.<\/p>\n
Jennings, the cunt with the holes, lamented the fact that they couldn\u2019t just take \u201c[the Willinghams] down to Mud Creek and hang them up with damned rope. But you can\u2019t do that anymore. They’ve got more rights than we\u2019ve got.” It\u2019s safe to assume the \u201cthey\u201d in the latter sentence isn\u2019t referring to the Willinghams. In a motif often heard amongst the trashier elements of the far right, it\u2019s often believed that African Americans have more rights then poor, meek, timid little white people. Why, they have a right not to be lynched! Can you imagine? White people don\u2019t have a right not to be lynched! Why, any Ken or Barbie poking their pink noses outside are liable to find a sheriff and some commissioners waiting outside with ropes, ticking packages, and maybe an excavator or two. I tell you, it\u2019s just so unjust! Cunts everywhere are crying over that injustice.<\/p>\n
Even worse on the cunt scale of \u201cput-upon-ness\u201d was the fact that the recording was done without their consent, and thus was a far greater crime than plotting murder and terrorist bombings. Cause, you know, snitches get stitches. Can\u2019t trust those reporters to allow cunts to go about their business unmolested.<\/p>\n
Now, as horrible as this story is, there is a bright side. All four have been suspended and will probably lose their jobs. All are likely to face criminal charges, state level for certain, and in the case of the implied threats to bomb or lynch, federal charges as well. The cunts can whine about how unfair it all is, but the fact is they blew themselves up, and good riddence.<\/p>\n
Most of the people in McCurtain County, I\u2019m happy to say, seem shocked and appalled.<\/p>\n
Many county governments are corrupt, some viciously so. Petty authority attracts cunts. Local journalism used to keep them in check, but most of the US doesn\u2019t have anyone like the Willinghams, and so the cunts get away with it.<\/p>\n
First thing to control the cunts: fight for strong, independent and engaged local journalism. We won\u2019t survive without it.<\/p>\n
