Watching a series about Phyllis Schlafly seems like it’d be watching Schindler’s List, if that movie’s protagonist were C. Montgomery (We both made shells for the Nazis, except mine worked!) Burns.
I have two kids and I cant even pee by myself. There's no way she didn't have help.
Susan Faludi did a great job of nailing ALL of these female hypocrites in Backlash. So many of them out at podiums telling women to go home and take care of their families while they saw their own families once a week. If I remember rightly, Phyllis even got caught a couple of times talking about how her job was so…
She also ran for Congress in 1952 at the age of 28. I doubt she was counseling other women to do the same.
I believe she also tried to sue her relative (nephew?) out of being able to call his beer Schlafly’s. As though her brand would suffer by being associated with chill good times! Which, to be fair, it totally would, when your brand is being a hypocritical shrew!
6 kids and somehow she had all that time to practice law and author books? Me thinks the lady was not following her own philosophy. Standard for conservatives: I can have it but you can’t. See also: hypocrite.
Phyllis Schlafly used nannies so she could concentrate on the career she denied she had. Her niece confirmed she used nannies.
Behind the scenes, these women have helped overhaul the company’s approach to protecting elections, creating a new ad library to ensure transparency, and partnering with over 55 third party fact-checking organizations.
So when I was at school years ago I took part in training for Ten Tors, essentially an endurance event for schoolkids that took place on Dartmoor that involved 35, 45, and 55 mile treks over a weekend. During one training event we went up in January, already close to/below zero without the wind chill and we had one…
The first time I remember this move was the John Demjanjuk case throughout the 80s and into the early 2000s. He was a retiree from Cleveland who was accused of being Ivan the Terrible. He wasn’t convicted of that, but there is pretty solid evidence that he was a Nazi guard at a couple of concentration camps.* As his…
I want to kick that fucking publicity stunt out from under him. It’s all transparent bullshit, is what it is.
“Sex addiction.” So 2008. I think David Duchovney was the last guy to successfully pull that one off, and I don’t think there were any pending criminal charges if memory serves. Between this and the physical infirmities every old Mafioso brings to the courtroom, Weinstein is a defendant right out of central casting.
Over-under on how many of these fine statesmen (or, more often, their wives) have smuggled a daughter into the clinic under cover of darkness? I’m going with 8000%.
I always loved Michael Caine discussing Jaws 4: The Revenge.
Pottery Barn teen is amazing and you will not besmirch their good name in my presence.
Bernie Bros* terrify me. I’m afraid that they will react in the exact same way this time if their messiah fails again to nab the nomination. That they will stay home, vote third party, or vote Trump. Because, really, how have they been harmed by the shitshow of the Trump administration? They’ll scream online again…
You are not supposed to LOVE them lol.
Yeah...also, it was as close to perfect as I think a film adaptation of a book gets.
It’s obviously a generational thing but I’m still gobsmacked everytime I read something with the author stating that they’ve never seen the 1994 version especially considering that it was the first major motion picture version since the Liz Taylor 1949 version.
