Oscars Shut Out Women in Best Director Category Again
After a historic year for women directors, the Academy Awards have followed the regressive path established this awards season by the Golden Globes, SAG Awards and the BAFTAs by not nominating any women for best director.
Despite having been shut out in the run-up to the Oscars, “Little Women” director Greta Gerwig was still considered a frontrunner for an Oscar nomination, especially with the movie surpassing the box office milestone of $100 million worldwide. Lulu Wang, the director of “The Farewell,” was also thought to have a shot at a nomination.
But the Academy’s director’s branch thought otherwise.
“Little Women” received six nominations overall, including for best picture. Gerwig did receive a nomination for best adapted screenplay. John Cho and Issa Rae announced the nominations early Monday morning in Los Angeles, and after reading adapted screenplay, Rae commented, “Greta done slipped in there.”
Instead, the Academy went with all men, nominating Martin Scorsese for “The Irishman,” Quentin Tarantino for “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Bong Joon Ho for “Parasite,” Sam Mendes for “1917” and Todd Phillips for “Joker.”
“Congratulations to those men,” said Rae, after reading those nominations.
A movie about four white girls doesn’t tick many diversity boxes.
Dear Care and Feeding,
My husband is a human who farts a lot. I cannot stress enough how often and how loudly he farts. I’ve gotten used to it, but I grew up in one of those repressed households where girls (like myself) were supposed to feel shame and apologize for any passing of gas or burping.
Our daughter is 6 and thinks farting is hilarious. Who can blame her? She farts a lot and with no shame or remorse. She’s started to get teased in kindergarten for “having the stinkiest farts.” When she told us this last week, my husband counseled her to say “So what?” and then if the kid persists, lean in, sniff his breath, and tell him: “Yeah? Well your breath smells like poo.”
Most of me says: “Yes, stand up for yourself, Small Child. Don’t take any crap.” But the prude in me who gets so tired of the farts wonders if this is the best way to handle the situation. I want our daughter to feel comfortable in her body and trust that she is natural and fine, but I also know that being tagged as “the kid who farts all the time” could make elementary school even harder than it has to be. We teach her to chew with her mouth closed and not yell in people’s faces; surely fart management is part of the social contract?
Massive water main break floods Upper West Side, delays subways
A water main break turned several streets on the Upper West Side near Lincoln Center into rivers early Monday, flooding the basements of several buildings and shutting down subway lines.
The FDNY received a call around 5 a.m. about a leaking fire hydrant at 1881 Broadway, but officials realized the problem was far more severe due to the volume of calls about the flooding, a fire official said at a press conference.
What firefighters discovered was that a 3-foot-wide main broke at Broadway at 63rd Street, spewing water across a wide swath — flooding parking garages, the 1, 2 and 3 subways and a number of basements, said Vincent Sapienza, commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection.
It took about three hours to finally stem the flow because shut-off valves are located in manholes, which were submerged, making them difficult to access, he said.
Reporter Tricked Into Wearing Armor to Hold ‘Vicious’ Koala
Debi Edward, a reporter for the British outlet ITV News, was tricked by Australian koala carers into wearing a full suit of protective body armor to handle a “drop bear”– a fictional “vicious” relative of the koala.
“So Deb’s gonna be holding a drop bear. She’s got the drop bear suit on,” declared the Australian cameraman, as Edward put on protective armor and gloves.
“They do go for the legs,” another man remarked, giving Edward a pair of heavy boots.
Dem Deathwatch
A twofer considering that I missed Marianne dropping out. I was under the influence of a dark psychic force last Friday, so I missed her.
Cory Booker was never as interesting after Beto dropped out. They were such a matched pair–light ebony and tanned ivory, touching each other in such gentle harmony. I assume Booker no longer has any use for a beard, so Rosario Dawson is back on the job market.
The field is narrowing: Biden–riding the centrist and black vote–leads most Iowa and New Hampshire polls with a sad 20%; Warren, who turned hard left, tried to course-correct and now has the stink of the flip-flopper on her; Bernie, America’s Soviet Grandpa; Mayor Pete, popular with the centrists, but polling at 0% among black voters in North Carolina; and then, well, the rest… lingering like an old fart.
Despite all her trial balloons, Hillary might not even want to try and play the savior this time around. Maybe she thinks her enemies in the DNC deserve another four years of looking like idiots in this three-legged tard race that they are still managing to lose. Maybe she thinks 2024 won’t be too late, hoping for a sympathy boost after Bill succumbs to the multiple antibiotic-resistant STD blizzard raging on his privates. Maybe she’ll settle on grooming Chelsea for a House of Rep. run.

Are we supposed to advice the people in these stories?
Sure why not. Let the kid fart I say. What possible ramifications can there be for eschewing social norms?
I once knew a small girl whose farts were supposedly so pungent that she had made friends vomit on several occasions. I was seriously impressed, as a sixteen year-old boy.
Maybe she should eat more fiber…or less. I don’t how these things work.
Hawt.
And there is your target for ass-eating!
I’m glad I never caught wind of my kids doing such things in school.
What a break.
Dear Abby advice, or Zardoz advice?
YES!
So I went through a phase when I was around 20 where I thought it was funny to burp loudly. I didn’t do it much, just with my dude pals when we were goofing off. Once I yawned in front of my grandmother and accidentally let one rip. I thought it was funny, but she told me I was going to do that on a date some day when I didn’t want to.
Sure enough, I did. I was on a date with Jeff Flake’s brother. Yes, THAT Jeff Flake. His brother. Oh, he was hawt.
*sigh*
Generally, yawning is enough to put a date on life support. The belch probably just pulled the plug.
Oh, my bad. I wasn’t yawning. I think I laughed or chuckled or something.
“I was thinking of your last name, Flake. And that made me think of corn flakes. And corn flakes always make me burp, so it must have been some Pavlovian thing. Sorry.”
He was hawt. *sigh*
That burp saved you from being Jeff Flakes Sister In-Law.
You got lucky
Yup. Don’t care how hawt he was or how great he was. If things had progressed you would now have Jeff Flake as your BIL. No cock, no matter how long or how girthy, is worth that shame.
And Jimbo is an expert on long and girthy.
And shame…
“Instead, the Academy went with all men, nominating Martin Scorsese for “The Irishman,” Quentin Tarantino for “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Bong Joon Ho for “Parasite,” Sam Mendes for “1917” and Todd Phillips for “Joker.””

That good?
Also, the Irishman sucked.
Maybe she’ll settle on grooming Chelsea for a House of Rep. run.-
Send her to some sort of turd polishing school. Then Hil-dawg can pull the strings of power.
Her father, Janet Reno will likely object to her doing this to their daughter.

When my daughter was 5 we were getting her and her baby brother ready to go out somewhere. Once we had the baby strapped in we looked around and couldn’t find her. After several searches of the house and some yelling in the back yard she hadn’t shown up. Frantically we drove down to the park to see if she had gone there. Nope. We were just about to start banging on neighbors’ doors to see if they had seen her when she climbed out from under the bench seat in the mini-van and said “surprise!”
Classic example of wanting to hug and strangle your kid at the same time. Her explanation was she was “practicing how to hide”.
Funny story now, but we spent a week or so with a 1000 yard stare.

She was just getting ready for life in Trumps America.
That kid was a runner from the git go. You had to keep an eye on her or she would be gone.
When she was four, she got bored on a shopping trip with my wife and sister in law at a local mall in Kobe, Japan so she lit out and walked back home. The mall was about 5 blocks away, so it wasn’t far, but the kid spoke no Japanese, had no ID on her and just decided it was time to go.
I wasn’t there when it happened, but my wife still gets a haunted look on her face when someone brings that story up. (to be fair, at the time it was our only kid so if she had gone missing we didn’t even have a backup)
Language immersion at a young age is the way to go. Obviously a self starter.

This is why they make child leashes. Of course, then you may have learned that she was an escape-artist as well, so there are limits to what can be done.
Huh.
I wrote a character who did almost that exact thing when she was 6, only in Paris.
Yeah, I did that in ’70s downtown Philly. My parents were not amused.
Almost as good as telling my mom I went to Belfast after HS graduation in the ’80s.
She is going to ruin some men’s lives with false rape accusations someday.

Then the mom got the CHP officer to put the kid in cuffs and take them to the station to teach her a lesson?
Nah man… She might have been mad, but even then i don’t think the mom wanted her daughter actually dead.
What does the dog bring to the party?
probably cause to search. just in case

OK that was creepy, and funny…

“My husband is a human who farts a lot.”
It’s Slate, so I guess mentioning he’s human was necessary.
One could mistake em for a AGW producing cow?
Alternatively, “human” could have been an instance of showing that the husband is gender-neutral. The line could have been phrased as “my husband is a man who farts a lot” or even “my husband farts a lot”, but they decided to go with the most awkward phrasing.

That small? Might as well for NYC city council.
I need to get one of those toilets, but it seems like if they are going to test out vegetables, they should have gone with corn.
That looks like a jail cell toilet they’ve tricked-out.
It’s impressive, but I guarantee a small child could plug it. For some reason, putting half a roll of tp down it is a problem…
I’m not sure that jamming a small child into the toilet would create an effective seal.
Sounds like someone needs a research grant…
Crossing a small child and a toilet would result in some mutant seal? WTF? Where did you get you biology degree?

Deval Patrick makes me believe that cloning is possible, but much like the movie “Multiplicity” taught us, the copies are significantly worse than the original

“ESPN ‘is preparing to make Tony Romo an historic offer of up to $14million a year – the highest ever for a sports broadcaster – in bid to lure ex-Cowboys star from CBS'”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7880655/Report-ESPN-set-make-huge-run-Romo.html
I just assumed ESPN having decent announcers was against the law.
The only way Romo could become a more popular color commentator would be if he beat the living shit out of Joe Buck
Please start a GoFundMe.
I’ll contribute right now if we can add Collinsworth to Romo’s hit list.
Really? I like Romo and Collinsworth for the same reasons. They both sound like they are pretty damn happy to have been paid millions of dollars to play a children’s game, and then pretty damn happy to have been paid millions more to talk about it all day.
I don’t even know you rit now
Romo knows the play before they’re at the line of scrimmage. That’s what I like about him. His experience as a quarterback has obviously given him good insight into commenting on the games.
Joe Buck is useless on the whole
You don’t sit on the edge of your seat to hear Joe Buck Sonorousness Intonations? Sure, he doesn’t really care about football or what’s on the field, but if he see’s someone make a cultural faux pas you can be sure that he’ll spend a year talking about it
And where would we be without that?
Yeah, I’ll take Romo’s spergy ejaculations any day of the week and twice on Sundays. I heard a rumor he was told to stop with the play predictions but just can’t keep them down.
He’s very useful on the hole!
/Troy Aikman
Are you insane? Collingsworth?
This.
Romo is probably the best since Facenda or Summerall or Dandy Don.
I’m with Prairie-breath. I’d pay to see Collinsworth beaten to a bloody pulp.
Huh. My response to Tony Romo is usually wishing that he’d shut up for a while.
I don’t even know you rit now
HyEx is not going to be happy with you.
Not “unhappy”, simply uncomprehending…
I’d feel the same way, except he really knows his stuff. Most commentators talk because they have to talk. Romo talks because he’s got something to say.
“Romo is Mr. Ed?”
(“He will yakkity-yak a streak and waste your time of day, but Mr. Ed will never speak, unless he’s got something to say!“)
I’ll take the middle road on this one: he DOES blather a lot, if not as much as the likes of Collinsworth or Booger. But that’s part of the job.
I got spoiled years ago with Summerall and Madden.

Elizabeth Warren can’t win because even most women hate her. She makes Hillary look charismatic.
Also, the woke epicenters are always where you find the real discrimination.
It is impressive that the Dems have a bench so deep that they could find someone even more odious than Hillary to run in the very next election.
id still take her over hillary. She may have all the same horrible economic ideas, but at least she is not a murdering sociopath. probably.
she is not a murdering sociopath. probably.
I suspect that’s due to a lack of opportunity more than some core principle. Give her the power and she’ll start making all sorts of “difficult but necessary decisions”.
It won’t require murder murder. Just lots and lots of compassion and a sympathetic court. See: Charlie Gard
“The description of that meeting is based on the accounts of four people: two people Warren spoke with directly soon after the encounter, and two people familiar with the meeting.”
So it’s basically a game of Chinese Whispers. Couldn’t they work in someone familiar with Sanders’ thinking?

This was a coordinated dump by her people. Of a confidential meeting. Nice.
Stay tuned everyone. Something very big is going to happen. The first bombshell tape is going to drop this week.
I am guessing it will not be anything special.

Thief who robbed four banks is FREED on New York’s no-bail policy – then knocks over another bank 24 hours after shouting ‘I can’t believe they let me out’
A serial bank robber targeted four New York banks, was released under the city’s new law which requires no bail for holding suspects, only to strike a fifth financial institution, police claim.
The suspect, Gerold Woodberry, 42, is alleged to have robbed banks in New York’s Midtown Manhattan, Harlem, West Village and the Upper West Side, since December 30, sources said.
However, under the new ‘no bail’ law, he was released on Thursday.
‘I can’t believe they let me out,’ sources said he was overheard saying on the way out of the New York Police Department’s headquarters, reports the New York Post.
‘What were they thinking?’ he added, allegedly striking a fifth bank in Downtown Brooklyn on Friday, the sources told the Post.
I think my real question is why robbery is considered non-violent.
Everybody knows the insurance companies pay out and nobody actually loses any money.
Victimless crime.
Same reason fare jumping isn’t theft.
Because he didn’t use a gun? He just walked in and said “I’m a Congressman, give me all your money!”
I mean, you can’t lock people up who demand money based on some social contract. That would be anarchy.
Hitting a bank is a Federal Crime, so I’m a bit confused too.
But most bank policies are to hand over the money, so if you did it without a gun, maybe its not violent.
Also i was sure that this was a Babylon Bee article.
Meanwhile, the guy selling loosies was confined to solitary until his trial.
I thought he was choked to death.
He died from an asthma attack.
I honestly think the No Bail law was a variation of the “Benedict Arnold statue versus the Playground” ploy by the NY Democrats. A moderate revision of existing law could have cleaned out the genuine unfair hardship cases. But, that would have had virtually no opposition and wouldn’t put the government in the role of protector of the poor and downtrodden from the outraged middle class.
I thought bank robbery was a federal crime? Wouldn’t they have a different detention facility? Or at least need to sign off on release, bail or not?
^This.
Bullshit. It was designed to appeal to the collectivism crowd, because too many of the wrong sorts of people were winding up in jail. They talk about this openly.
Yeah, I’ve literally never heard it pitched as a way to reduce overcrowding.
Crime is down like 80% over the early nineties peak. The idea that the jails are full is preposterous. Rikers is half empty.

Schiff said, “It would convert the Senate trial into the same kind of a sham proceeding that the president sought to have Ukraine undertake. There’s been no factual basis for these allegations against Joe Biden. No factual basis that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 election. That is a Russian propaganda talking point. To ask the Senate to do these investigations that the president fraudulently sought to get Ukraine to conduct would merely turn the Senate trial on its head. Now, that’s something that the president would love, but that’s not a fair trial. That’s a sham trial. I think what the senators ought to do is take their oath to be impartial seriously and make this a serious and fair trial, fair to the president, yes, but also fair to the American people.”
“That is a Russian propaganda talking point.”
Translated: “I’m lying”
Adam Schiff said that he saw evidence proving some elaborate Russian and Trump campaign coordination to do…something (no one was ever clear what exactly the allegation was). Yet, we’re still suppose to pretend like he’s not insane. That’s cute.
Calling him insane is insulting to the insane who can’t help their delusions. He’s just a mendacious cunt.
And here I thought they impeached Trump because of that phone call with the Ukrainian leader where he was alleged to have done the very thing Biden has admitted doing publicly.
but that’s not a fair trial. That’s a sham trial
These people can fuck off with this rhetoric. I said it this morning and i’ll say it again. Fair trials are about concerns for protecting the innocent. IF Trump’s claims are so outlandish and false then making them won’t help his case. If your case to prosecute them is so poor that it cant stand a defense then you can fuck off.
The local morning news had some other Dem congressman saying “the Democrats want a fair trial. McConnell wants a cover-up. So our choices are either a fair trial or a cover-up.”
I’m wondering if JournOlist 2.0 has already spread the word that any impeachment hearing not run by Nancy is to be called by all Democrat spokespersons as “a cover-up”. Will have to check tonight’s newscasts.
In a rational universe, anything that Schiff says (given his track record) would be instantly discounted as a huge lie.
How many times has he assured everyone that he’s seen super secret evidence that totes proves Trump steals babies from their cribs at night and eats them? When he starts up like this, the reporters should turn their backs on him and raise his Russian Collusion memo (the anti-Nunes memo) in the air in silent protest.
“No factual basis that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 election.”
The Dems keep pushing the Ukraine, not Russia meme, and the media keep letting them get away with it. Meanwhile, I’ve never heard Ukraine not Russia from the Repubs, only Ukraine AND Russia. Why is that so hard to understand?
There are zero consequences for being an insane elected official in a safe district.

Lefties have this fascination with Aaron Hernandez that won’t die. It fits their attempts to attack football too well, especially since he was so gay and all. It can’t simply be that he was a wannabe thug. Football culture and CTE have to be responsible!
The hysterical science around CTE seems just a cunt hair more credible than global warming.
Whether the CTE research is or is not credible, my sticking point is this:
Football is a violent game. You know that before you ever put on pads and a helmet. You work and sweat and pay for the privilege of getting your head bashed in. Then, you get to college where, if you’re lucky, you get some filthy lucre, but at least you get a shot at the NFL. Then, if you get your slot in the NFL, you are paid a bazillion dollars to play.
You aren’t being paid to play. You’re being paid retirement for when you can no longer play because your body gave out. Because football is a violent sport. Which you knew all along.
YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE HERE SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND PLAY THE FUCKING GAME.

Seriously, it is amazing how much crazier the web was back in 2005 or so. Rubes everywhere with crazy idea after crazy idea. And it wasn’t like everyone was a credulous moron who believed in them. They flamed a ton of the crazier ones, but they flamed them for being crazy. Not for misusing pronouns or not offering spike filled tampons for men with vaginas.
And no one seemed terrified of the internet mob. No one was couching all their opinions in ways to protect themselves from being the next victim of the social justice guillotine.

…but I also know that being tagged as “the kid who farts all the time” could make elementary school even harder than it has to be.
Not only elementary school, but all of life. Not many people will put up with a constant farter unless they are otherwise really likeable, so you best commit to that being your only personal flaw.

They know their audience.
I’d consider it too, but she’s a socialist. How do you square socialism and freedom together?
It cannot be. Mandatory participation is one of the cornerstones of socialism.
You can’t, they are mutually exclusive. That’s my issue with her, too. There are so many real-life examples, how can she not see it?
My understanding is that Tulsi is a gun-grabber. I don’t care how good her foreign policy, or any other policy position is, gun-grabbing is a deal breaker for me. Jesus Christ could run and I wouldn’t vote for him if he is a gun-grabber.
She’s pretty much an off the shelf proggy, with a few exceptions. She signed onto the Green New Deal, wants to give illegals free healthcare, is pro-gun control. You know, the usual.
Probably the best of a bad lot, I’ll give her that.
What if Jesus was a Glock guy? Would you vote for him anyway?
Glock? I dunno….
Now if he is a 1911 guy I wouldn’t hesitate to vote for him.

Megan: I’m working to educate young boys about how to use tampons, because some men have periods
Trudeau: *Wipes sweat from forehead* I’m going to end thousands of good paying energy jobs, because Gaia can’t wait
Megan: I’m funding a solar powered re-education camp to transition those energy workers into death. Because too many people endangers the environment

Pew Trusts discovers that interstate migration may be affecting politics.
https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/stateline/2020/01/13/texas-south-face-political-changes-as-movers-arrive
“Texas, Arizona and parts of the South are seeing the nation’s largest population bumps — and the people moving there from more liberal states may be feeding political change in those red-state conservative bastions. As people from California and New York discover the South and Southwest, they’re finding friendly people and lower costs but aren’t sure how they’ll fit in politically. “Politics is something I’ve learned not to discuss with the locals,” said Mimi O’Brien Reese, who moved from the New York City suburbs to Oak Island, North Carolina, in 2017. “It’s not my job to change the world so I just let it be. Where I live has a lot of transplants from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, so I don’t feel out of place.” There’s dispute over whether the newcomers will change state politics in the South, as they may have in North Carolina, which elected a Democratic governor in 2016, or are “leftugees” fleeing liberal policies who will embrace conservatism.”
Fucking locusts. Ruining their own states, then coming here to ruin ours.
I thought immigration was supposed to make us all libertarian thanks to the magic American dirt?
Conversely Beijing and Shanghai dirt isn’t magic and people moving there will become libertarian.
For me, it was the experience of how much more wonderful life was in a free country as compared to a fascist one.
But I guess people who don’t really believe that people can be persuaded think of the process as magic dirt. 🙄
*throws rotten cabbage at Tarran’s head*
GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FRROM!
Well I was being snarky but the issue is that: is your experience universal? Does everyone who emigrates from their country or state or town or whatnot think that their native land has faults and their new home is better and do they realize that the faults of their native lands were due to its unlibertarianness and the benefits of their new home is due to its libertarianness and that that libertarianness should remain and should become even more libertarian?
And if these immigrants are libertarian then will their descendants still be? And before you say anything I have these exact same concerns about the “natives” too.
I would think the answer is really obvious.
No. Of course not. Some people don’t like freedom. It’s messy. It’s scary. They get burned by bad decisions etc.
No, being human, they are just as prone to being fearful, or ignorant, or misguided as any kid who grew up in the U.S. who embraces Bernie Sanders.
And if these immigrants are libertarian then will their descendants still be?
Not unless someone actively and successfully educates those later generations on the blessings of liberty.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Winston, you just can’t sit there and hope that people come to see things our way; you have to actively convince them. Many of your criticisms of Classical Liberals of the past and present appears to me to boil down to your unhappiness that utopia didn’t just happen inevitably. It’s not inevitable. The culture of freedom has to be cultivated and when it isn’t becomes overgrown with the weeds of collectivism.
Often you quote articles by the people you are criticizing, and it’s pretty clear that their point sailed completely over your head. I have formed the opinion that rather than trying to learn from them, you are just engaging in knee-jerk sneering. A great case in point is that article about Alexander Hamilton you were sniffing at.
Thank goodness no one accuses me of doing that! 😉
Actually my critique is more that many of the classical liberals of the past and present were and are very guilty of thinking that freedom is inevitable.
Cities were supposed to be bastions of liberalism since they were free of aristocracy, connected to trade routes, places were new technology was being created, locations of modern factories and less influenced by Catholicism. However it turns out urbanites can be statists too. Herbert Spencer in 1884 pointed out that the large cities were and still bastions of Whigs yet he was complaining about the state of liberalism.
Immigrants would emigrate from unfree areas and immigrate to free areas and immigrants from free areas would emigrate to unfree areas and learn the glories of freedom and support classical liberal policies. Sounds nice in theory but how does that work in practice?
Foreign travel and trade was supposed to teach us the errors of border controls and trade barriers and therefore embrace freedom. However some people it turns out embrace statism after foreign travel and using foreign goods.
The Public Schools and the universities were supposed to each everyone (including immigrants) the glories of freedom. We all see how well that attitude turned out.
Off, Fuck, You
That’s funny. I’m a fourth generation Californian, and I don’t like talking politics with the raving progressive carpetbaggers who come here from other states either.

Wow, then California can be just like some Southeast Asia countries I toured about 30 years ago, where we would be the only people in the restaurant and about a dozen young guys all standing around hoping to do something for us. Because if you have to pay for them anyway, might as well have your excess employees that day onsite.
Saw the same in China. It was disconcerting.
“They’d also earn wages for “on-call” shifts, when employees are required to be available without the promise of getting called into work.”
I envision on-call status being eliminated, resulting in either: (1) Those who happen to be at the workplace being required to stay for another shift, resulting in tired, overworked staff; or (2) As you say, those who would have been on-call being required to come to work and expected to do something productive while there. So, trained nurses cleaning baseboards, ordering office supplies, etc.
Unintended consequences are a drag aren’t they?
Lovely how everything has to be filtered through the lens of race and ethnicity.
If I were running a business I know I would want a gaggle of half-wits with no business experience telling me how to run that business. I mean, how can you lose?

Leaving the royal family to profit off of the fame you’ve received by being a member of the royal family is not admirable or brave. It’s a silly gimmick.
I’d go further than “silly gimmick”. It’s downright douchey.
I’m a republican and don’t approve of even constitutional monarchies (although I can see the logic of having a non-political head of state separate from the head of government). But, I expect and somewhat hope that QEII gives H&M a royal smackdown. From what I’m to understand, they’d proposed the whole “stepping back” thing and QEII insisted they not go public with their plan while the crown tried to figure out how to manage it. Harry pretty much blew off the demand from his grandmother and gave his father and brother all of ten minutes notice that he was doing so. And it’s pretty much common knowledge that they’re looking for avenues to monetize the status they derive from Harry’s membership in the family he’s blowing off.
Being a Windsor has been pretty damned good to Harry. He’s got one of the best gigs you could imagine out of it. But, hey, I understand if he doesn’t want that life. But, to try to leach off the status you get out of that while prattling about “being your own man” and giving a giant f**k you to the family you derive all of that from makes you a pretty crappy person.
He needs to get a multi-million-dollar gig sitting on the board of a foreign oil and gas company, like a commoner.
Eh. They want to earn their own living, and not spend all of their “working” time waving to crowds at parades. I can respect that.
If I believed for a moment that they were actually going to be on their own – and not profit off their stripped titles – I’d say sure, go for it.
I don’t believe that.
Britain brings in way more tourist dollars because of the royal family than they pay to the royal family.
They got plenty of mine.
I actually enjoyed the tours. I have no interest in a monarchy, but I would absolutely have cocktails with Liz and Phil.
I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Tower and viewing the Crown Jewels, the pageantry, etc.
I’ve heard the “tourism pays for itself.” I believe it to be true, or at least plausible.
Then there’s the centuries old bargain that in exchange for turning over their property to the state, the state would hand out an allowance.
The Queen is publicly supporting him after the royal conference call. But who knows what’s going on behind the scenes.
If those two are still married in 10 years without credible affairs by one or both, I’ll be very surprised.
But who knows what’s going on behind the scenes.
Oh, I can take a guess.
It is no secret that Phillip was livid that Diana was dating a Muslim man whom he called an “oily bed hopper.”
He might not have planned the tunnel crash, but I reckon he was pretty relieved at the news.
“Oily bed hopper” is some creative bigotry.
Naw, that was an assassination.
I used to be not such a conspiracy nut, but at this point, I can believe anything. Diana was not only off the reservation, she was sleeping with the enemy.
Whether I liked her or not, whether I thought she was good/bad/indifferent, she was a real national security risk.
The NSA thought so too. Their files on Diana remain Top Secret. They claim that she wasn’t the target of surveillance, which is either a lie or implies that they were surveilling Dodi Fayed.
Perhaps 9f the drunken cunte had been wearing her seat belt she might still be alive.
Yup. Doesn’t help that her driver was DUI either.
It always irritated me how so-called “polite society” ignored thus so they could have their Hate Week against the trashy paparazzi.
It would not have mattered in the least bit. If they didn’t kill her then, they would have found another way.

She had one job – be faithful to her husband, bear him legitimate children, act royal. She failed completely.
Can’t tell if sarcasm…
Not kidding. That is a noblewoman’s job and she is trained from birth to do it.
I’ll lay money that marriage was arranged when she was still a girl.
IF Harry is Charlie’s kid (don’t think so), then after she bore the heir and the spare, she could go do what she wanted to do but she was to be DISCREET about it.
The problems start when she’s unfaithful before she got the spare birthed.
I think he is making a reference to the rumors that Harry is not Charles’ son. But William would still be a legitimate child….
Eh Aristocratic women cheating on their husbands is nothing new you know?
I’m not sure about the “failed miserably” part.
a. She was being cheated on practically from day one of the marriage if I understand correctly
b. she did bear him legitimate heirs
c. I guess I thought she did this, too. At least while married to that dipshit.
It’s my understanding that she didn’t start the affair with the guy who some people think is Harry’s dad until after he was born…
Aristocratic women are not allowed to run wild until AFTER the heir and the spare are born.
What Charles did is irrelevant. His role in the whole thing is just to be the heir apparent. Noblemen are given wide latitude as to behavior even if they are also given the side-eye for it.
I know that the affair with the guy who is supposedly Harry’s dad supposedly started after he was born, but I don’t believe that.
You know, him not being Chuck’s kid could explain a lot of this. Maybe he finally found definitive proof (DNA) that he isn’t a royal and he wants out as quietly as possible. If so, expect MM to put out a tell-all the day after she serves divorce papers in 2-5 years.
Fine. That’s one out of three.
I give H&M 8 years.
She must have a magic hoo-hoo to have been able to so completely emasculate a kid who used to be a bit of a wild child.
Yeah. I had higher hopes for the kid. He’s a combat vet helicopter pilot, but some tart comes along and he turns into a kept man.
Tough for Harry to be his own man when his balls are kept in Wallis, er, Meghan’s purse.
Weird how he seemed totally red-pilled in his 20s and blue-pilled in his 30s. The opposite of most men.
Serious question: if a total disaster befell the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their whole family was wiped out, does Harry become next in line, or has he essentially abdicated?
Yep, he’d be up.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succession_to_the_British_throne
That’s why the question off whether his “stepping back” counts as abdication of his place in line.
Fortunately the Cambridges have good security. I don’t think the Brits would welcome Harry back with open arms.
Renouncing his claim. And so far, I don’t think he’s done that or give his titles. Give MM a couple of months.
I assume it’s all a big publicity charade for season 10 of The Crown.

The Left has the same problem with Tulsi as Beltway Libertarians do: she’s legitimately antiwar and they’re not, but they pretend like they are.
It’s not at all surprising that Ron Paul has had kind words for Tulsi while Reason writers and the NYT have threaded a retarded “Tulsi may be antiwar, but she’s not pro-peace” argle garble nonsense.
She exposes them and they know it

It’s like the establishment class divides themselves up into teams. “Ok, you be the libertarians, you bunch over there play the neocons, and you guys *snicker*…nobody wants you on their team so you guys get together and play the democrats”
In reality they are all in the same class and look after the interests of said class. Everyone else, the small L libertarians and the deplorable get fucked while simultaneously have the privilege of paying for it all. I will say it again: the establishment needs to go.

US Supreme Court refuses to hear “Free the Nipple” case
The Supreme Court on Monday decided not to “Free the Nipple,” refusing to hear an appeal by three women fined by a city in New Hampshire for exposing their breasts in public who argued that banning female but not male toplessness violates the U.S. Constitution.
The justices left in place a 2019 ruling by New Hampshire’s top court upholding the women’s convictions for violating an ordinance in the city of Laconia that makes it illegal to show female breasts in public “with less than a fully opaque covering of any part of the nipple.”
I hear Ginsburg was going to go topless during arguments and everybody else nixed it, just to be safe.
Need some brain bleach.
Vermin Supreme wins LPNH primary
With nearly 60% of the vote, Vermin Supreme is victorious in a closed primary vote held by the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire! The entertaining, longtime satirical candidate has run for President of the United States under both the republican and democrat parties over the year and this time has thrown his boot in the Libertarian party’s primary ring for their 2020 nomination.
Supreme has spent a lot of time campaigning in New Hampshire, including an epic, armed pony march on Concord’s state house last month. His New Hampshire campaign manager and national chief strategist, Richard Manzo said this about his decisive win in an exclusive interview for Free Keene, “I think this is very much a proof of concept, that recruiting younger members to the LP is possible with the right messenger. I think the young people we recruited to the party tipped the scales in Vermin’s favor.”
Pretty much solidifies the fact that the LP will never be taken seriously.
Vermin Supreme or some ex-Republican?
The ex Republican solidified the fact that Libertarians can’t take the LP seriously.
Well, at least Howard Stern was a solid candidate.
Stern was loving all the ass-kissing from fans and publicity, and likely would have won but for 1 thing- he refused the financial disclosure.

Libertarian Party, that’s funny..
No shit.
Last time, watching the fat guy strip down on stage at the convention I just sat and watched poker-faced while everyone else seemed amused. I was not amused. The only explanation Ii can think of for anyone supporting Johnson is some kind of bizarre virtue signaling. No one, not even Johnson, seriously considered him a candidate.
Someone from stage left needs to reach out with a hook and drag the whole stupid party off of the stage.
“But we tried!”
/exactly
The only explanation Ii can think of for anyone supporting Johnson is some kind of bizarre virtue signaling.
I voted for him last time for LP ballot access. My city went 85% for Hillary, the state went 60% – my vote is otherwise meaningless.
I think last time I found it my ward was just about 90% Hillary, with the Jill Stein getting far more of the remaining 10% than Gary.
This is exactly why. With the giant douche vs. turd sandwich at the top, it was a great year to try and get the LP over the “major party” threshold. It’s too bad Gary was the choice, but I think a lot of people plugged their noses and pulled one for Johnson to just try and help the party. I did.
Me too. For the last time.
