Howdy folks. I got nothing... except some random thoughts. Avante!
● Hillary. Hillary is an idiot. Rather than just donating some of the Weinstein money to some leftist woman's group, like the other Democrats are doing, she's maintaining radio silence, drawing attention to her failure to do the right thing. Even worse, she let her stupid daughter defend her by posting on Twitter that those meanie Republicans were trying to politicize this terrible thing! Dumbass. Hillary taking money for her political campaign which was based on slandering the GOP with women from a known sex criminal and not giving it back is inherently political, retard.
● Widespread. So liberal Matt Damon may have done his best to intimidate/sway various news outlets not to cover Weinstein's earlier assaults. That's actually a crime. At the least, it's called a conspiracy. Donna Karan just blamed the victims by saying this wasn't entirely Weinstein's fault because the women might have been provocatively dressed. Up to now, the left has condemned blaming the victim as victimizing the victim a second time. I guess it's cool now though.
● In a bizarre moment, Gayle King -- sitting in for Nora O'Donnell -- defended the Obamas from the Weinstein issue by claiming they didn't know about the harassment, which is why they haven't given back the money he gave them. Ok. That still doesn't explain Obama's failure to condemn it now or why he hasn't given back the money he took from Weinstein now that he knows. Even more interesting though, it's not clear where O'Donnell got this idea because no one has explained what Obama knew or didn't. So basically, she invented an excuse to protect Obama. Shocking, right?
● Arch-feminist Emma Watson has failed to condemn her friend Weinstein. So have arch-liberals Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltro, Jennifer Lawrence, and others. Rob Reiner and others, including the DNC, are trying to deflect this by attacking Trump.
● Post season baseball is interesting to me. This year, it's actually more interesting that football. I'm sick of the politicization.
● Why do I need to know that "Hot Felon" Jeremy Meeks's ex-wife had plastic surgery to tighter her uh... lower girl parts. Seriously, how does this end up in the news? Why does she want the world knowing this? I feel dirty just knowing this.
● So Dove did a commercial in which a black chick uses Dove to become a white chick. /snicker snicker I don't knew who thought that was a good idea. Mucho whining online about this.
● OJ is free and yet I don't feel less safe.
● So the Democrats are pissed at Trump for not exempting Puerto Rico from the Jones Act, a 1920's law which requires the use of US flag carriers for shipping and thereby adding a ton to the cost of each item. Said differently, they are upset Trump won't protect Puerto Rico from stupid Democratic laws. Typical Democrats... how dare you not save people from the stupid thing we did!
● Apple Air... Amazon Fire... Google Earth... ___ Water.
● Why are we supposed to change Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day? What exactly did the IP do that I should care about or that we should celebrate? Besides, aren't we supposed to be extinguishing them from our culture? That's what they say every time they force some sports team called the Indians to change their name to something like the Non-Offensives.
● Emily Ratajkowski is naked... and the sky is blue.

And the Weinstein scandal keeps building steam... It couldn't have happened to a more deserving bunch. Karan's comments are especially galling when you consider that the left deploys those accusations against people who merely urge taking precautions. Then again I don't know why I'm surprised considering that a certain Hollywood luminary once said that what Roman Polanski did wasn't "rape-rape." Hollywood has definitely blown whatever credibility it ever had on being champions of women's issues with this one. May the people who can be prosecuted in all this get it good and hard.
ReplyDelete...Well, assuming that there's actually the will to do it. Why do I have a bad feeling that the conservative/GOP response is going to consist mainly of impotent whining, equivocation and joining the attacks on Trump, and the sort of nastiness that makes the left look good by comparison?
On the miscellany, from what I understand Trump temporarily waived the Jones Act but didn't do a full on repeal of it so of course it's a political football now. That commercial sounds idiotic and I hope baseball can step in and provide some good, apolitical entertainment. And I didn't need to know about the surgery either!
The left established sexual assault means nothing to it will Bill Clinton. The right established sexual assault means nothing to it with Trump.
ReplyDeleteLike say, vacation time, a record of sexual assault is either a weapon of opportunity or an inconvenience, not something one honestly cares about one way or the other.
Weinstein went down fairly quickly once his predations went public but while he is a very deep pocket he enjoys neither a public following nor a position it would be tricky to fill with someone like minded.
Trump’s Secretary of State doesn’t deny reports he called Trump a moron. Trump initially derided the report as fake news but now is saying IQ tests would show which of the two is a moron. Maybe Tillerson will beat Sessions out of the door.
ReplyDeleteI'm only chiming in on the Dove ad. It was a 3 seconds GIF and people were reacting to the first 1.5 seconds. I wish I was kidding. In the first 1.5 seconds, a black woman takes off her shirt to reveal a white woman. In the second 1.5 seconds, the white woman takes off her shirt to reveal a brown woman. See for yourself: LINK
ReplyDeleteIs it racist? Should Dove have apologized? Attempting to show diversity only gets you bit in the butt. I think that's the lesson here.
Here's a second link if the first causes trouble: LINK

ReplyDeleteThat is just another sign of the pending Apocalypse! AAAAAaHHHHHH, if that circle is every completed, well, I don't want to be around the Twitter-verse! That's where it will start, you know.
As for the "Columbus Day v. Indigenous People Day"...why doesn't anyone ever mention Spain or Portugal as the main perpetrators of the mass "genocide" of Central & South America? I mean, he was Italian and no one speaks Italian in the Americas, so why pick on Columbus?
ReplyDeleteBtw, speaking of Spain, anyone been following the Catalan secession vote?
Bev, It is the apocalypse. There's no doubt about it.
ReplyDeleteAs for Spain, this has been pretty fascinating. Spain has been on the verge of implosion for decades and now it seems to be happening.
So George Clooney warns us that while Weinstein's conduct is "indefensible" this is so common that we shouldn't single out Weinstein. Uh, no... not in the rest of the country George. Maybe at your house, asshole, but nowhere else.
ReplyDeleteHillary Clinton has commented too, now that it's obvious how this thing will go. She is shocked an appalled and warns us that these women need support... of the type she hasn't given.
Bunches of other women are now discovering that they too have been harassed by Harvey W.
Recovering from this cold has given me time to catch up on the baseball playoffs as well. With baseball dead again in my hometown (it's a baseball team, not a business, dammit!), well, at least Boston won't win it all. Now, if only Washington or L.A. can knock out the Cubs...
ReplyDeleteA few weeks ago on the bus, I saw a woman reading a copy of Hillary's book. Oh, the pity I felt for the lady over her wasted investment. I know I shouldn't feel in this case, but I did. So, sad, really. (For the record, I was reading the definitely more entertaining "The Heist," by Volkman and Cummings. It's the original true crime tome covering the infamous Lufthansa Heist of '78.)
Give Chris some credit! He and his brethren brought civilization to people living in the Stone Age! There, I said it.
Andrew, did you get that email I sent a few days ago?
Rustbelt, The article is up. Sorry for the delay.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andrew. No problem.
ReplyDeleteAnd in the spirit of my last comment, (I wanted to make sure this was today's active thread), the latest edition of Monsterpiece Theater is now available at the film site!
ReplyDeleteAnyone here been molested by Harvey Weinstein? It seems everyone in Hollywood suddenly is claiming to have been molested, even those who aided and abetted him.
ReplyDeleteAlso, let me add that no matter how many times Hollywood types try to claim this is an epidemic or widespread in America, that's just not true. It's just liberal Hollywood.
