Judy Garland, RIP


Judy Garland died in a London hotel on June 22, 1969 (fifty years ago). It is said reaction to Judy's funeral on June 27-28, 1969 prompted a bunch of her supporters to go to the Stonewall Inn (a Mafia run gay bar on Christopher Street in the Village). There was a NYPD raid that night in the bar that resulted in a riot (which lead to gay and transgender pride events being held in June). I am sure Judy would love the legends and legacy, but her suicide and death were still a sad end to a troubled life. RIP.

How Depraved Is Hollywood?




There are elements of truth in what Barbara Streisand says. Jackson's victims were thrilled to be there. Their parents are certainly to blame for what I would say was criminal neglect and sacrificing their children on the alter of celebrity. 

Streisand also makes another good point: Women are not being hired for certain jobs because men in power do not want the risk of being accused. Ok, I believe that.  

There is also a degree of truth that people need to get over things. Not be victims perpetually but deal with the past and move on (how ever bad that past is). Being molested as a child is horrible, but there are worse things (the few Holocaust survivors left were children when those things happened to them--go ask them what they endured).  

The #MeToo movement has gone too far and you are seeing a lot of Hollywood Celebrities realizing they could be next for things they may or may not have done decades ago. The Salem Witch Trials lasted about a year until they decided to accuse the Massachusetts Colony's Governor's wife at the time. Such nonsense was fine at the periphery, but when it challenged those in real power it was then shut down. Many on the left were fine watching institutions like the Boy Scouts and Catholic Church be destroyed by such accusations, but Hollywood studio executives and big name talent?  That is going to far!  

But the big reveal for Babs is when she says Jackson is just a victim or there was something in his DNA. So Barbara Streisand think it is ok for adult men to sexually abuse prepubescent kids (provided they don't kill them) and they have talent like Michael Jackson. There is an indulgence for that.  

Hooray for Hollywood.

Fiscal Cliff: It is time Republicans had the bravery to just say no to the Democrats...

Boehner and our GOP elites are desperate not to be branded as causing the government to go over the fiscal cliff.  I understand why they are worried, because the fiscal cliff is scary.  And the GOP has not been explaining its position very well.  But as scary as that is, it is time to realize that compromise with something that is wrong is not a correct option.

Which sets up a Separated at Birth:


Barack and Harry and...
Thelma and Louise

We need to remember...
Reminder: Barack and Harry are the ones driving off the fiscal cliff...

Update:
TOM:  Winners write history (we need to start acting like winners).
John Boehner and our GOP elites needs to stop acting badly...

Separated at Birth: Barbara Streisand and...?


Babs Streisand
Vincent the Beast




















Spy Magazine did this classic Separated at Birth (similar photos) back in the day, but I could not find the image.  But this post reminded me of it.
