Ironically, the Right and Country Music in general have their own version of political correctness. The Dixie Chicks dared to say what they think, and despite that their views were aligned with the majority of Americans, they offended the Right’s sense of what is politically correct and they were blacklisted from the…

This quote from Neil Gaiman about political correctness has stuck with me:

Huh ... I thought Donald Trump was the single best argument in not saying what you think until you think a little harder. He’s an object lesson in the value of some level of political correctness. “Don’t just vomit up your ‘thoughts’ all over everyone; just look at Donald Trump!”

“Republicans are pissed at the lack of visible American flags”

Can we at least remind people that Donald Trump was endorsed by someone who thinks suffrage for women and racial minorities was bad for democracy? And that his party has been working hard to disenfranchise Black, Latino, and poor people? The Republican platform may not explicitly call for disenfranchising women and…

Are you asking if I would crap my pants if I was her? No because she does public speaking for a living.

Are you asking if I would Nazi salute like her? No, because I know how to wave without looking like I’m mentally thinking Heil Hitler

Weilding? Did you lose the spell checker in the lawsuit?

Or that Clinton doesn’t care about the middle class when Trump has explicitly said that he cares about making money for himself. He has said it hinted or sort of tried to articulate that he can use his “business knowledge” to “make us win” but he has never actually done anything or even promised anything concrete to…

This is what kills me. She’s the liar because people suspect she’s lying. But he is not a liar, even though he has been caught red-handed time after time. So he can grandstand about honesty and loyalty! The world is upside down, I swear.

It’s always funny to me that Clinton is considered dishonest but Trump has said so many things that turn out to be not true or false. Hm.

Yep, I understand Quebecois French not at all, though it makes me understand the evolution of Cajun accents. I’ve been watching Marseille on Netflix to brush up on my aural French skills and some of the characters with heavy Southern accents are really a challenge to understand. Same with Les Temoins, with the…

On the topic of accents, I started watching the Netflix Borgia series (not the Jeremy Irons one) and the fact that the lead actor uses a straight American accent (almost a New York accent at times) is horribly distracting. Some actors have British accents and there are Italian and Spanish accents in there too. I think…

I do dig that she wasn’t apologizing for what she said, merely that she said it publicly. That’s a pretty important distinction.

They were Gay AND European.

But were they gay? Or were they European?

Elle Woods knows nothing.

The Bend and Whiplash.

I would kill for behind-the-scenes footage of these guys gelling eachother’s hair and waxing eachother’s chest, in between spotting eachother in the gym and making out.
