I Now Pronounce You "Man And Life" (Followed By The Peals Of Girlish Laughter)

I've been thinking about the wife, lately.
And how popular her ideas about life are, compared to mine.
I mean, I get it, how it all "works."
How large groups of misguided people find themselves put in-charge every once in a while.
Until they're not.
 
 

  Ellen DeGeneres Addresses ‘Getting Kicked Out of Show Business’ on Her New Comedy Tour, but, apparently, says nothing about her relationship with her psychic, who - after supposedly predicting she'd get a popular show - hasn't explained how it's brutal and ruthless ending, at the hands of her formally-adoring public, came without any warning. 


Like the whole thing was some kind of cosmic set-up for a fall.
SIDEBAR: 'I escaped an evil cult lead by my dad when I was 19 years old — but I still love him' - and I hear-the-fuck-out of that. He wasn't predicting the future or anything.
DOUBLE SIDEBAR: Tom Cruise may view his daughter Suri as a 'potential trouble source,' showing how the opposite, of this sort of thing, just sorta "happens."
Anyway, yesterday, the left's SFGate noted San Francisco's Union Square is emptier than ever, when, on the conservative side, the media's also been saying It's a Miracle Anything Gets Built in San Francisco. This is long after TMR noted - in 2007 - "blacks have been leaving, like Jews from Nazi Germany, for years". Needless to say, the media's recent powers of observation suck. No matter how many eyes they claim to have. 
Just as people who are older than the Jesus myth have been ignored, or met with abuse and scorn by Christians, an exodus of blacks meant nothing to the future of San Francisco, or the cool kids on the left or right. They think what they think, and have the power to enforce it. Over reality. 
Today they say things like The Trump trial brings out the juvenile in all of us, when it's now obvious "all of us" has exclusively meant the wicked witch's flying monkeys, who find such things "funny."
Blacks don't, and are flocking to Trump - despite everything. It may not last. As Camille Paglia noted - with the exception of Oprah & Co - "It is a striking fact that few,...African-Americans joined cults."
Speaking of blacks, on a side note, a Houston restaurant employee has been accused of putting his genitals in food items, and possessing child pornography, and - as blacks - we couldn't be prouder. Way to go, Champ. All of our hopes and dreams as a people have come true. Wait - a black Maryland High school athletic director is accused of using AI to fake a racist rant in the voice of his school's white principal? I take it all back. I have seen the future. This is TMR's new idol.
Back to currently ignored observations: Warner Bros. Sets Release Date for Documentary About Real-Life The Zone of Interest Family, because, still, no one (else) has admitted that Oct. 7th was The Zone of Interest, but with the Quentin Tarantino-twist of Gaza's concentration camp victims, suddenly leaping over the wall to murder their captors.
Also, articles that say things like My generation doesn’t know why the heck they’re protesting for Palestine ignore the fact that - when confronted with people who do know - nobody cares about what they have to say. The media just enjoys addressing know-nothings for sport.
THANKS TO ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE, HOSPITALS WILL NEVER BE EMPTY: Ex-model nearly died after trying juice diet instead of getting proper treatment for cancer
WHATEVER - JESUS NEEDS TO START A NUDE JAM BAND TO HEAL STAND-UP COMICS: Drew Carey's rant about his rapturous sexual/religious experience seeing Phish at the Sphere


That way, afterwards, I'll never have to think about my wife, or her beliefs, ever again.

But They Don't Know Where "Woke" Came From


Camille Paglia described the situation in 2003: "The New Age movement is choked with debris — with trivia, silliness, mumbo-jumbo, flimflam, and outright falsehoods."

What Trump's Election Was To "The Resistance"

"Membership in cults may begin with a sudden conversion experience where an individual feels that ultimate truth has been glimpsed. This may lead to zealotry,the conviction that the cult view is the only possible view, which therefore must be promulgated to the benighted or is too refined to be understood by others. A persecution complex and siege mentality may result: cult members feel that the world is the enemy and that only martyrdom will vindicate their faith."

Are Whites Just Under The Delusion Blacks Can't Hear Them Or Do They Just Think We Don't Exist Or,...What?


Like Ann Althouse, Camille Paglia usually gets music waaay wrong, but this time, her latest pronouncement has her looking especially old:



An understandable mistake but, still, really misguided. An obvious sign Camille hasn't kept up for some time. 

Despite his claim of God status, Em's been out of it for years now. He doesn't want to be coasting on his name today, but he is, and that's what makes Camille's words ring so hollow. He's currently striving and failing. We love him, and all the more power to him - totally no diss - but his best work is (possibly) behind him.



But in Pop, the only "artists" standing are the two cantankerous K's these post-Grammy whites are apparently desperate to ignore:

Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West. 

Without a doubt, nobody's made better work than they have and Kanye's Yeesus ("Soon as they 'like' you - make them 'unlike' you") wins by default, because he's the old guy with tenure.



Gaga isn't even in the running,…
