It’s a 20+year-old hazy memory, but from what I saw of “Desmond Ffeiffer,” didn’t the jokes imply that gay Abraham Lincoln was attracted to young boys?

At least in the U.S., this really is an overlooked movie.

Good point. The number of people who died at the first Woodstock is 2 or 3... can you imagine how that would be covered today? 

Like a lot of people, my Facebook “friends” are mostly 1) people I went to school with decades ago, who 2) we wouldn’t even recognize each other in public. I’ve got a few who post lots of right-wing shit. I’m asked why I don’t just unfriend them, but I think it’s useful to know what those types are thinking, like kind…

“There’s a weapon, that we must use, in our defense, si-oo-lence.” 

I liked a show in syndication that was followed by his latest sitcom, also syndicated. I watched a few episodes mostly because it took place in the Denver suburbs, where I live, and I was curious how much it would reference (not much, actually. I mean, the showrunners know that we watch the Denver Broncos!? They…

Could be. Didn’t Dennis Miller kind of do that on a talk show a few years ago? 

This is interesting to me, as I’ve been reading a lot on this subject now that I’m a parent. At least for me, when a Gen-X’er (like myself) or older points out how ‘unsafe’ by today’s standards their childhoods were, I don’t think it’s so much advocating we go back to that as it is acknowledging how much times have…

In all fairness when he wrote that song it was a different time. Now everybody likes porno. 

Well it’s a good thing I’m already married then... a striking number of spines on my shelves feature swastikas, and today I started “The Rape of Nanking.”

Okay, trying to bear-in-mind this Tweet is tongue-in-cheek, a few observations...

Re: your question about how he could win this time, it’s all in the electoral college. Keep in mind that 3 million more people voted for Hilary Clinton than Trump (in fact, she received the 2nd most votes for president ever; Obama is first).

I always remember the character in “The Bone Clocks,” the writer who was feuding with the female author and would publicly make snide comments about her weight, and she would indignantly accuse him of being “weightist.”

Also waiting for “Reaganland.” But man, missing “Nixonland” is a major oversight; his best book!

Somewhat related, but this week - with the announcement of the Biden/Harris ticket - the right-wing has done one of my favorite things in politics: pretending they truly care about our candidate’s chances to the point of expecting us to think their advice is sincere, i.e., they only want to help us, but we’re too far…

Damn I love it when someone dies and their family/associates/employer decide to make money off their memory and rationalize it by saying ‘that’s what they would have wanted.’

“I don’t know I just can’t stop thinking about her with this Navy officer and what does that mean does it mean I hate the military does it mean I secretly want it to happen and I have a water fetish I need some sort of guidance here.”

Is it time?

The mayor was just polling the electorate. 

“I’ll be there for you...”
