Racism at the Oscars

I haven't posted about the controversy about the Oscars. I mean it would be a perfect post at Lem's but he would delete what I have to say since he is a card carrying cuckservative.

It seems that a big segment of the douche bags of color community is up in arms at the lack of nominations of African Americans in the Oscar. They are absolutely right. The fact that there were no superior performances by black actors does not matter. A quota must be established so an equal amount of Oscars should go to Black actors every every year. Even if they didn't make a movie this year. I mean how can they ignore the life time achievements of Jimmy JJ Walker or Sherman Hemsley? Fred Re Run Berry surely deserves an Oscar instead of some simpering moron like Leonado De Caprio or an old fart like Robert DeNiro. It is ludicrous that a seminal beauty and thespian phenomena like Shirley Hempill has been denied lo these many years! Take that statue away from Meryl Streep and bestow it on Oprah where it really belongs! When will the artistry of Marlon Wayan's finally be recognized?

I plan to boycott the Oscar telecast this year. Well I wasn't going to watch it anyway. It conflicts with the the Real Housewives. But I am not watching in solidarity with my Black brothers and sisters who have been treated so shamefully.

Whose that Girl?

She costarred in a Wyatt Earp that I watched last night and had on a pointy bullet bra. She made a bunch of Westerns and Sci/Fi things on TV and the movies in the 1950's. A pure B-lister but a pretty girl who didn't take herself two seriously.

Whose that girl?

More adventures in Obamacare!

So I bring a list of all of our medications to transfer from CVS to Rite Aid because our insurance will no longer pay CVS. They said it would be easy. Which of course it was not.

You see some of the prescriptions were called in and they are not transferable. So I have to get new prescriptions from the doctor. Who is not reachable on the weekend. Normally they would give me a few pills to tide us over but now they can't because I won't be filling it at CVS and Rite Aid needs a new one.

It is all fucked up.

Sarah reveals it to us!

Yes. She is endorsing Trump. She knows that he is the one who is going to win. Plus she can stick it to the establishment.

It is a good move in my book. It will help Trump because people who hate her will never vote for him anyway.

If you like your CVS you can keep your CVS!

Obamacare is the gift that keeps on giving. I go to the CVS to pick up our pills and they tell me that they do not take our insurance anymore. I have Oxford which is United Health Care which is one of the biggest companies. So how is it that they don't take it. They took it in Florida last month for crying out loud. They told me I had to go to Rite-Aid or Walgreens which are blocks away.

I understand that they are not paying the monies due or something. These insurance companies are going out of business left and right. I got dropped from my prior company because they do not do small business plans with a husband and wife group. So we had to get personal coverages which I found out that they are dropping this year so I have to find another company. Unless something changes.

It never gets old!

I agree with Trump.

The NFL is pussying out these days. Just sayn'

A certain type of New York Values on Display!

Teenage girl and father who claimed she was gang raped in Brooklyn park are lying, says lawyer after they fail to pick suspects from line up

• Five teenagers accused of gang raping 18-year-old girl in a Brooklyn park
• Girl and father said to be drinking together on the night of alleged attack 
• They claim the boys drove father away at gunpoint, took turns raping her 
• Suspects said father was having sex with the girl when they first arrived 
• Teens identified as Denzel Murray, 14, Shaquell Cooper and Ethan Phillip, both 15, and Onandi Brown, 17 

Daily Mail online By Jay Akbar For Mailonline and Snejana Farberov For Dailymail.com Jan 14, 2016

A lawyer defending one of the five teenage boys accused of gang raping an 18-year-old girl in a Brooklyn park has dismissed her allegations as a total lie.

Spencer Leeds, representing 17-year-old suspect Onandi Brown, said she and her father, who was with her the night of the alleged attack, failed to pick any of the first four suspects from a police lineup.

The alleged victim and her father said the teenagers approached them at the park, scared him away at gunpoint and took turns raping her.

Ted Cruz told the truth.....and so did The Donald?

Ted Cruz was spot on when he was talking about "New York Values." As a rabid right wing conservative I have to hide my views from everyone I come in contact with in New York. Other than the guys who I grew up with who all feel the same. There is an underground conservative subculture here in NYC but the prevalent values of those of Andy Cuomo  and Comrade Bill De Blasio. Trump knows how to maneuver in that climate. He swims in it comfortably as a Real Estate Shark.

Trump has the values of an upper East  Side Jewish Real Estate developer. That is his milieu. That is his bailiwick. Very socially liberal but suspicious of the schwatzes and the latino's. His eyes are wide open don't kid yourself.

Cruz's apology was a thing of beauty. He laid it right out. He doesn't have to worry about the Times or Cuomo or anyone else who would never vote for him in a million years. Trump did that for him. He can give zero fucks and word it as strong as he wants. Because Trump will say something even tougher.

I wouldn't cry crocodile tears like the pansies in the press and New York Politicians did about Cruz. They dis the rest of country enough as it is. They should just take the hit and hit back if they want. That is what a man does.

They might be Giants?

Going on the Internet is a chore these days!

I have been exceptionally busy lately. What with our trip to Florida and business stuff I haven't had time to blog much. Or to follow other blogs.

I used to read a whole bunch of stuff but my approach has gotten a lot more selective. I usually look at Instapundit, Legal Insurrection, Vox Day, Ace of Spades, Briebart and Hot Air. I have dropped a bunch of places like RedState, Powerline, Turley and of course the Evil Blogger Lady who I haven't visited in more than two years. Not our Evil Blogger Lady of course because that cow is very funny. In fact I visit the blogs on my sidebar frequently. I just don't comment much anymore.

I guess I am a true Trump voter. I am pissed off and I don't want to bring my venting everywhere anymore. You can't say what you really think. Or at least what I really think. Because if you do you end up like Anthony Cumia or the bakers who have to pay $100,000 for not baking a cake. So it is better to step back and be concerned with your own things and let the rest of it pass you by.

I really respect the tack that Michael Haz took. He stepped back and very infrequently engages these days. I am sure he has a lot to say. But like me I think he realizes that there are very few willing to listen. So it is better to pull up a chair in the cabin in the woods and enjoy the passing parade.

I have buckled down and started writing my books again. I hope to finish at least one of them by the late spring. I don't know if I can pull it off but I am going to try. As a consequence this is the only place you will be able to catch my bullshit. Just sayn.

Nimrata Randhawa Haley tells us to sit down and shut up!

So the Governor of South Carolina Nimrata Randhawa Haley gave the GOP response to Barack Hussien Obama's State of the Union. You know I think it is a good policy to call everyone by their full name. The name that there parents gave them. The name on their birth certificates and christening documents or whatever documents the Sikhs or the Muslims have. Just to level the playing field.

In any event Nimrata decided to chide the loud voices and told us lowlifes to sit down and shut up and listen to our betters. You know people like Ryan and McConnell who vetted her speech and gave her the gig. She went after Trump and Cruz and anyone who did not buy the establishments bromides hook line and sinker. She is getting gushing praise from the Democrats, the Obama administration and the cuckservatives at joints like RedState.com. Of course she is trying to back peddle it now but it was eminently clear where she was coming from.

It is part and parcel of the attempt to wrest the nomination from either Trump or Cruz to some Rhino savior. There is a lot of talk that Paul Ryan is the one who will come out of the convention as the nominee based on machinations of the establishment. I tell you this. If that happens the Republican party will be as dead as Murphy's dick.

Conservative Rabid Puppy Vox Day gives a great analysis of this in his excellent blog Vox Popoli. Well worth a read.

Bone Tomahawk! What a waste!

I love Westerns. Watch them all the time. I especially like Kurt Russell westerns. Along with Sam Elliott he is one of the few stars who has been in quality Westerns the last twenty years. I won't go see that schmucks Tarrentino's latest bullshit because of what he pulled with the Black Lives Matters Crap so I was excited to see a new Kurt Russell western on Amazon Prime.

Big mistake.

The title was "Bone Tomahawk." I thought it would be an old fashioned Cowboys and Indian shoot em up. But I was mistaken. You see it is all about cannibal Indians and stuff. I just didn't dig it in the least. Stilted dialogue and a crap plot. I couldn't even finish it. It came off as really cheaply made. So I just lasted through about two thirds of the movie. It was not worth it.

Not recommended.

I have switched my night time viewing to Youtube!

I have switched my night time viewing when I am in bed from Netflicks to Youtube. It seems that various knuckleheads post entire episodes of my favorite old time TV shows on Youtube. Usually it is a foreigner so there might be subtitles in Spanish or German or something but that is fine. I got a new pair of Blue tooth wireless headphones so I just put the ipad on the dresser and put the ear plugs in and listen away until I fall asleep.

There are a lot of great shows available. The Munsters. Car 54. Bewitched. Gunsmoke. Bonanza. And the one I have been watching from the beginning of the series. "The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp." It is perfect for me. Just enough to keep my interest but slow enough that I can just nod  out and fall asleep. Highly recommended.

An all time record! I lasted one day as a commenter on RedState!

I just got banned from RedState.com because of my comments and a diary I put up. That didn't take long.

Red State is another one of these cuckservative sites that will drop you in a minute because of political correctness. Not that I said anything that bad. I just didn't buy that Trump was like Hitler. I put up a diary to that effect and one of the main Trump haters who is a moderator banned me. Fair enough. Like most places these days it is not worth the effort.

I only went there because I saw that Evi posts there and I decided to experiment. Epic fail.

Oh well. Another site I will not be visiting anymore.

May the Shwarzer be with you!

Just until the end of his term.

We hope.

It's State of Union time again!

So you know you have to look for alternatives because you are not going to listen to that shit head.

I am attempting to catch up on all the stuff I missed while away in Florida. The kids like to watch movies instead of TV so we caught a flick every night. So I am catching up on the Housewives  and American Idol and all of the fun things in life.

There was a Holiday episode of "Call the Midwife" and "Downton Abbey" and "When Calls the Heart." They were all a lot of fun.

I will be catching up with Idol tonight.

Gimme that sandwich!

So I have been eating very carefully these days. Even on vacation in Florida. My daughter is a food Nazi so she doesn't let me get away with anything under her watch. But we had a brief window when all the girls went to get their hair cut. We googled Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich and this shop came up that was about ten minutes away.

Now Florida is I guess like a lot of suburbs. Strip malls all over the place. This joint was in a small half abandoned one. When we pulled in there were five stops. Three empty ones. One hero shop. And one that said Smoke Shop. I went "Holy shit this is the place for me. Hero's and cigars. It could be 1986." Of course I was misinformed. This joint sold vapor cigarettes which is the new thing I guess. Who knew?

Anyhoo we go into this place which was like a retarded Subway's without any Child Molesters. Or at least I hope not. There was the owner who was a nasty piece of work who groused the whole time we were there. I could tell he hated us. His half a retard hispanic of the books worker made that sandwich. This guy just stood there and bitched to the other customer in the joint who must have been a regular. We sat at the place to eat which put his nose out of joint. It didn't stop him from telling us his life story at the top of his voice as he grumbled to his regular. It seems he is divorced and his kids come over every weekend and two nights a week. So he generously offers to put in for food with the new broad he is shacked up with. But is seems she went to Walmart and ran up a $500 bill on his credit card. Which freaked him out. He tells the guy "Hey I want to be fair. I will contribute to the household expenses. You know toilet paper and toothpaste and shit. I figure a $100 a week and we split the cost of the beer."

White people problems.

No. White trash problems.

We just sat there and enjoyed our greasy sandwiches. They were great actually. But I wouldn't want to be around for another floor show. Strictly take out from now on.

The definition of a cuckservative!

If we go to the commies douche bags at Wikipedia it is described as follows:
"Cuckservative" is a neologistic epithet.^[1] It is a portmanteau of the word "cuckold" and the political designation "conservative", and has become an increasingly popular pejorative label used within the conservative movement in the United States. One definition of "cuckservative" defines it as a conservative who sells out,^[8] having bought into all of the key premises of the left,^[5]and is enthralled with liberal values. Social conservatives who use the term condemn what they see as Republicans running on socially conservative values to appeal to their base during an election cycle, only to use vote trading to compromise on those values while in office. The term "cuckservative" similarly impugns that male Republicans are humiliated though their actions while feeling thrilled and excited from their own degradation because of the abandonment of their own moral standards.  American political writers have suggested that the term is racially charged by being seemingly derived from agenre of interracial pornography in which a white married woman spurns her white husband for sex with a black man.^{[13][11][14][15]} This concept is itself rooted in ideas of interracial sex being taboo and the stereotype of black men being more sexually active than white men, and in this context the fact that African-Americans are particularly prone to support the Democratic party."

Now I don't know what the actual proper definition of the term might be. Like the term Rhino it fits a certain type of faux conservative. Commenter's like Vox Day and other right thinkers attach it as a matter of course to most of the Republican Establishment. I know that there was a mini-controversy at Red State.com when the head mook Eric Erickson was termed a cuckservative when he shit his pants and dis-invited Trump from the Red State convention for some politically incorrect remarks. Most of the establishment smear the people who use it as racists and rabid right wingers. You know the stuff that the Democrats smear us with all the time. You see there is not a dime worth of difference between them.

The perfect example of a cuckservative in action was Douche Lord John Kasich who attacked Trump for removing a Muslim protester who was disrupting his rally. The audience booed and catcalled and Kasich pissed his panties and said that was"Not what the Republican Party is all about." He thinks it is about tax cuts for the wealthy and mass immigration for the Chamber of Commerce. 

The rise of Trump is the rise of a revolt against political correctness. I don't know if he holds many conservative opinions. I don't know if he holds any conservative opinions. I do know he will let fly with what he thinks without fear or favor. That is enough for me to give him my vote. And many of the Rhino cuckservatives are developing a "strange new respect" for Trump as it increasingly seems that he could win it all. You see they want jobs. A rice bowl conquers all.

What burns my ass is when people tell you what you can say. They don't have to support it. They don't have to sign on to it. But they can't tell you that you can't say it because it "offends" somebody. Later for that shit. I don't have time for that anymore. 

The President of all the people?

The current stand off out west is very interesting for a lot of reasons. It is people taking things into their own hands and protesting injustice. In this case it was the onerous mandatory minimum prison sentence given to some ranchers who were convicted of arson for setting a fire on their own land that moved over to government land. They had already been in jail but are being sent back due to an appeals court ruling that said they have to spend five years due to the mandatory minimum sentencing law. The government is abiding by the letter of the law and sending the Hammonds to jail.

Now a group of activist lend by the Bundy's have occupied a government building. They have guns. They carry guns. That is what they do out West. They have open carry. The liberals and the media are shitting their pants. They are not worried about savages raping and pillaging a CVS for drugs but white people with guns scare the shit out of them.

There is one simple way to defuse the situation without blood shed. Obama could just pardon the Hammonds. He has made a big deal about how we have to change the Criminal Justice system. Stop using mandatory minimums that lead to unjust and onerous sentences. Of course he is only worried about Drug Dealers and Muslims. You know people like him. Or like him in his younger days. So there is no way he is going to give white westerners a pardon. Even if it is in his interest to defuse a potentially deadly situation without losing face. He can do it and use it to make his point about reforming sentencing and take an argument away from the militia types.

But Obama will not do that. Because he is not the President of all the people. Just some of the people. the people who look like him. Who think like him.

That is why Trump will become President. Watch and see.

This is why TLC didn't want me to have a travel show!

What you lookin' at

I tried to enjoy myself today reading my kindle. The first inkling well duckling that something was up was when this big fat black duck swam by.

I knew something was up. You can't trust ducks. Especially the black ones. Just sayn'

Next thing you know we are having a beef.

He couldn't take it the bitch. He had to go and his crew and come back to try to intimidate me. But it didn't work.

He was a persistent bastard. He had to go out to get reinforcements.  They like to travel in packs. Or gaggles or whatever. But I don't care.

I just wanted to read my freaking kindle.

It's important to keep up your families traditions every year.

Everyone has their Holiday traditions. Caroling. Decorating the tree. Going to Costco.

Every year we go to Florida to visit the family during the Holidays. We hit all of the stores to get supplies because Grandpa is there and he is cooking up a storm. So we go to Penn Dutch to get meat and veggies. Now Whole Foods to get condiments and gluten free supplies. And of course Costco to pick up stuff in bulk.

Now of course there is a Costco in Brooklyn but I never go there. It is too far and you need a car. But in Florida we rolled right up. Any you know what the best part of shopping in Costco is. Of course.

The Hot Dogs.

I begged and I pleaded and I got permission to have a hot dog. Man was I happy. I got on line and was able to score a nice dirty greasy hot dog. It was just like Nathans.

I ran right over to the condiment section and loaded up. I had to take my chance to have all the bad stuff in one shot because they watch me like a hawk. Relish. Onions. Deli Mustard. The works!

I managed to gobble it down from the door of Costco to the car. I was one happy dude. A greasy Hot Dog and a Mountain Dew. I felt like a native Floridian.

Merry Christmas to me!

Carmelo Anthony gets it wrong......as usual

So New York Knick Loser Carmelo Anthony called for gun control after another Knick forward got robbed and shot after a night out partying. When asked about Cleanthony Early who got jacked, shot and robbed when returning from a strip club with his ho, the choker said: "I mean we’ve got to do something,” Anthony warned. “I mean you feel it. I felt it in Baltimore, in that situation, the Freddie Gray situation, and I’m feeling it now with a teammate of mine that’s much closer. It’s just something that we have to do. We’ve got to figure it out. I don’t know how we figure it out. I don’t have the answers. I’m pretty sure a lot of people are working on trying to figure that out. But we have to do something. We have to figure that part out.”

Now this was after another Knick forward Derrick Williams got robbed of $750,000 in jewelry by two ho's he brought back to his crib from the "Club." Now first of all you are looking for trouble bringing back two ho's for a three way. But who the hell has that much jewelry laying around?

These ballplayers of typical of today's NBA. They get big contracts...blow all the money....then are out begging for handouts on the corner. I much prefer the old school guys like Clyde Frazier who still has the first pair of platform shoes and big purple pimp hat that he ever bought. I know because he wore them on the Knick's broadcast the other night.

Now Carmelo Anthony is your typical moron ballplayer. What the fuck does Freddie Gray have to do with guns? He was a skell who was tuned up by other black dudes and died in custody. Now the savages did go wild killing each other with guns breaking records this year. But that is just Manny being Manny. Or Jamal being Jamal as it were. The Ferguson Effect was in full force as the cops  pulled back and the natives reverted to their natural state of violence and depravity. 

Someone should school Melo. It's not the guns that need to be controlled. Just sayn'

What if?

The reason you haven't heard from the Crack Emcee for months is because he finally gave it up and started his own New Age Cult.

What if?

The Evil Blogger lady blogged about her vacation.

What if?

Bags told us about his career as an underwear model back in the 1970's.

Oh the stories he could tell!

What if?

Wisconsin lesbians were in charge of the Fashion world.

Would everything be plaid and carpets to munch?

These Douches think this a dis!

When in fact it should be his campaign song..

I went to the movies and a living room broke out.

I never go to the actual movies. I mean I have been to about five movies in the actual theaters in the last five years. Only to big budget superhero movies where you want the big screen. Even then it is an ordeal in Brooklyn.

You see you have to deal with the audience. Screaming and talking through the whole show. Or better yet throwing things and fighting. Who needs that crap. So when the Florida people suggested we go see the new Star Wars I was kind of hesitant. You see I am not a big Star Wars fan. I guess it passed me by. I mean I have seen the movies but I didn't think it was all that big a deal. But apparently it is.

We went to this opulent suburban movie palace. It was all so different. They bought the tickets in advance and their was assigned seating. Our seats were reserved and they only had to flash the
I-phone and we were good to go.

The seats were unbelievable. They were full recliners with lots of room. With a cup holder. Plenty of spaces between the seats and to pass by. Now this means there are a lot fewer seats in the theater so that will never fly in New York.

All in all it was a pleasant experience. Well except for the movie. I mean it is what it is. It's Star Wars made by interminably politically correct  Hollywood Assholes. The trailers were what was interested. It was about five features that were all about the apocalypse. Some how the world is ending and the Xmen or some hero is going to save it as everything is getting destroyed.

In the end I guess I just prefer TV.

I didn't see this when it was first on but it seems pretty cool.

Charm City...this is what happens when you put the wrong people in charge....every freaking time.

Breibart.com by Warner Todd Hustson December 30, 2015

As December nears its end and so with it the year 2015, the number of homicides in Baltimore has surged to its highest rate since the 1990s with 340 deaths as of Monday, December 29.

While there were more murders in the past, Baltimore has reached a grim new milestone with its 340th murder making 2015 the worst year for murders on a per capita basis. And it should be noted that there is still three more days left to the year.

Authorities report that in 1993 there were 353 murders, making that year the most dangerous year on record. However, Baltimore had 100,000 more residents at that than today.

More from the Gluten Free Kitchen......Hey that's not Christmas Music

Just a few days after Christmas remember......

I went to see Star Wars! In an actual movie theater.

It kinda was a dog but waddayagonnado?

Dagnabit...don't interrupt me!

That's right Hossaroni!

If it is Holiday Time you know what that means.....It's Florida time!

If it is Holiday Time you know it is Vacation Time and we head down to Florida. Now we didn't have a Muslim drive us because Trump told us it was illegal and he was not going to let any Muslims into Florida so Omar had to stay home. We flew down on Christmas Day and boy are our arms tired.

We had some fun at family gatherings and parties the last couple of days. Today was the first day we had a real break. So what did we do? We went food shopping.

Of course this is a little different than what we used to do. We had to shop gluten and diary free and had to be careful to not load up on Junk food the way we used to do on other trips. There was a Whole Foods type place called Fresh Market and it had some of the stuff  we buy up in New York. I loaded up on chicken cutlets from the butcher and made a load of gluten free breaded cutlets.

I was lucky 13 and my number was called so I could put in my order. We loaded up on organic meats and vegetables. Some tasty gluten free pasta. Spices and condiments to tart up what we are eating. But when it was all said and done I had to do some begging. I pleaded and I begged and I finally was allowed to get one thing I wanted.

An Apple Pie. Because I am a freaking American!!!!!!

Hey! I'm over here now!

Trump is ready to hit Hillary over the head with Bill's Sclong

The reason why I love Donald Trump is he is not afraid to get down and dirty and fight fire with fire. When Hillary gets all weepy about how she is being abused by Trump because he is a woman he laughs in her face. He reminds her not to go there. Because he is going to tie all of those women she trashed to protect her husband. He is going to broadcast Bills trip with that pedophile guy.

She is going to be pummled like a German Christian on his way to church when he passes a bunch of Muslim Migrants.

I can't wait to see it.

Merry Christmas Country Style!

"Welcome to our CBS Country Christmas"  Party. The whole gang is here. Well except for you. I mean I know you went to Florida for Christmas but you really missed out. Later  we are going to skinny dip in the Water Tank. That Miss Hathaway is a real hose bag."

Merry Christmas Whitey!

Three Young Black Women Accused of Beating 51-Year-Old White Man to Death

By William Bigelow December 25, 2015 Breibart News

Next week, three young black women will stand before a Philadelphia judge for savagely beating a homeless white man to death with a hammer and a chair leg last April, all because the 10-year-old son of one of the women lied and said the homeless man struck him.

Not only did the women participate in the murder; they brought three children age 12, 13, and 14, to aid them in their savagery.

Merry Christmas

So I go to the bank today to make an account to account transfer with my production manager in California. Now this is different than a wire or a ACH deposit since it happens in five minutes if you both have accounts in Chase. Which we do for just this reason.

Now the bank is a disaster area. Half of the staff are morons. Well  no. They are all morons. Only the manager and the assistant manager have half a fuckin brain. The rest of them are half a fuckin retard. So I walk in and the manager is at lunch and the assistant is helping three other people. This kid comes up to me all dressed in a Chase uniform. They have to wear a Chase shirt and what not. He is about twenty one and has no idea what he is doing. He tells me "Sorry Sir I am training so I can't really do anything."  I tell him "No problem I wouldn't let you help me anyway."

You see he has fucking topknot. A bun in the back. Like he is fucking John Belushi Samurai. WHAT THE FUCK! I mean that is fine if you are selling me coffee or you are a bartender or even working in a boutique. NOT IN A FUCKIN BANK HANDLING MY MONEY YOU PUTZ!!!!!!! You ain't a fuckin' Samurai. You are a Puerto Rican dude! Stop with the bullshit. He went to help an eighty year old Italian lady and I though her head was going to explode. She ran out of there like her Depends were on fire.

Of course it is against the law to say anything about that. You can be brought up on charges. The manager a Jamaican guy named Marvin is pissed about it. I can tell. He don't want that shit in his joint. He is always neat and clean and dressed to the nines. He must be shitting.

It is sick out there and getting sicker.

New show to watch on Netflixs: River!

Netflix's is the only thing saving TV viewing for me these days. I mean I am off most commercial programing. It has all become too sordid and politically correct. We have taped every Hallmark Christmas movie and watch one every night. But occasionally we want something little less frothy so we pick a series on Netfix to binge watch.

Now if those shows are little rougher it is fine because you picked it and are expecting it. Some of the shows we have enjoyed included Harry Bosch, The Fall, Happy Valley and Broadchurch. All adsorbing dramas. Last night we found a new one called "River."

The premise is that a detective is investigating the murder of his partner who appears to him as "manifestation" or basically a ghost. The detective is played by Stellan Skarsgard who played the mad scientist in Thor and the Avengers. The ghost partner is Nicola Walker who is the great actress from "Last Tango in Halifax."  She is a superb actress and really does a stellar job here.

The show is very atmospheric and cool and I highly recommend it.

It beats the shit out of "Hawaii Five O" or "Blue Bloods." That's for shit sure.

Asshole doubles down.

Tarantino: I ‘Utterly Reject’ Argument That Only Some Cops Are Bad

Breibart.com by DANIEL NUSSBAUM21 Dec 2015

Quentin Tarantino continues to stand by anti-police comments he made earlier this fall in a new interview, saying he “completely rejects” the “bad apples” argument that only a small number of police officers behave inappropriately on the job.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly on Monday (and in an interview with Howard Stern last week), the Hateful Eight director put the blame for some instances of police brutality on the “institutional racism” of the profession.

“I completely and utterly reject the bad apples argument,” the director told EW. “Chicago just got caught with their pants down in a way that can’t be denied. But I completely and utterly reject the ‘few bad apples’ argument. Yeah, the guy who shot [Laquan McDonald] is a bad apple. But so are the other eight or nine cops that were there that said nothing, did nothing, let a lie stand for an entire year.”

This is for you Anthony!

Anthony Cumia arrested for assaulting his girlfriend

Anthony Cumia of "Opie and Anthony" fame was arrested for allegedly beating up his girlfriend. The girlfriend posted a video in which she claims he broke her wrist and her ribs. Cumia was arrested and released without bail.

I have always followed Opie and Anthony. You will remember when Anthony got fired from his satellite radio gig because of tweets he made after he was assaulted in Times Square by a hooker. He was taking photos and this broad objected to her photo being taken so she hauled off and whacked him. He made the mistake of saying what he really thought about the situation. He got murdered. Lost his gig. Lost everything. For being honest.

He started his own program which is pretty good. It is subscription service. I admit I am cheap and did not subscribe. Mostly because I don't have time to listen anymore. But I do catch up with the highlights on Youtube. Consistently funny especially when he has good guests. I don't know what this new arrest will do to him. I suspect nothing. His fans are his fans. The question is how bitter will he get. If he keeps the funny he can do great things. But I think it is pretty hard to be funny when you are so pissed at getting screwed over.

I can't wait to see what he has to say about this.

It is embeded in the culture now and there is nothing you can do.

So I am watching this stupid little sitcom on demand last night. It is called "Superstore" and is set in a Walmart/Costco sort of superstore somewhere in the burbs. It has all of the current stereotypical characters. The bumbling white store manager who is a Christian and is mocked for his slogans and piety. The sex crazed plus sized assistant manager who has the hots for the young white college hipster guy who is slumming by working at the Costco because he can't get a regular job. Of course there are the super wise minority characters. The wheelchair bound black guy who is a fount of wisdom and good sense but not threating because he is one wheels. And the wise Latina in the form of the Ugly Betty girl who is the protagonist of the piece.

The premise is the hispter guy like the wise Latina. He is played by the Jewish dude who cut his ear off in Mad Men. He is constantly put in situations where his college smarts are shown up by the wise minorities who have to school him.

The last episode is all about racism. It seems they are hawking a salsa and the white manager guy wants Ugly Betty to promote it because she is Mexican. She freaks out because she thinks it is a demeaning stereotype. Meanwhile some of the other workers are happy to do it. The other Spanish Chick loves it because it gets her out of the dressing room duty which really sucks. Ugly Betty starts fighting with her to the point that she pulls a bowl of salsa out of her hands and trips her up and she sprains her ankle. So the obsequious Filipino dude goes full retard with the sombrero and fake accent to sell salsa. The Ugly Betty chick starts to berate him and asks him how he would like it if she faked being an Asian and did this:

Of course the customer reports her and the whole store has to watch a sensitivity training video. Which is as stupid as you might imagine. Everyone is pissed that they have to go throw this.

The subplot is what I found interesting. TV shows now have to gild the lily by portraying sweet old white ladies as racists. They did it last week on Chicago Med and then again in this show. The hipster guy was working in the pharmacy and giving out flu shots. He sees this eighty year old frail white woman in the line who calls him over to ask how long was the wait. He decides to escort to the front to have a seat and naturally someone in the line asks why she is going to the front of the line. Of course it is a black dude who asks. The sweet old lady turns to him and says "He's white and we take care of our own." This is one of the causes of the store being forced into sensitivity training. It was termed the worst kind of racism.

My question is why?  Why is it a problem if white help out whites when a whole cottage industry has sprung up for blacks to assist blacks and Hispanics to assist Hispanics and women to assist women. Are white people the only people who have to not help their own? I guess so. This type of political correctness is soaked into everything. De Blasio has passed a law that if you refuse to let a transgendered person use your ladies room you are subject to a $250,000 fine. If you talk about it and say you are against it or are say anything in any way that they find offensive you are subject to the same fines. Political correctness has triumphed. At least in New York City. In television. In print. On blogs. You can't even watch a stupid sitcom without getting hit over the head with this stuff.

Enough is enough.

You got it right Billy!

Ginger or Mary Jane

Yes that's right! Pick your favorite!

Well that was fun while it lasted.

Do I amuse you?

Just sayn'

Hey I am what I am!

As you know I am busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. Besides all the stuff with the store and trying to finish a couple of books that I started....I am selling my books on Amazon and we have to move next month. So I am really busy.

I have been enjoying blogging at Lem's even though there have been some complaints. Some people think I put up too much stuff. Some people don't like what I have to say and flounce off in a huff. I am past the point of worrying about it anymore. I think you have to state your case and let the chips fall where they may. So my appeal might become a lot more selective. Waddayagonnado?

Even if it becomes tumbling tumbleweeds around here I am going to keep on keeping on. Cause that's how I roll.

The book sales are going great

The selling of my library on Amazon is going pretty good. I sold four books today. Not to shabby. It is almost another full time job.

Just what I need.

Marilyn's Diary

We always tried to take advantage of  living in Southern California. We would go to Disneyland. We always got free tickets to the Dodgers because Sandy Koufax was best friends with Grandpa. And we really loved the beach.

The only problem is that we couldn't go out when it was sunny. You see Grandpa was a vampire and Aunt Lily was half vampire and half succubus so they weren't supposed to be in the sun. In fact the only reason they could go outside during the day is because Grandpa invented sunblock. It was originally a super strength lube but it worked to keep him from dissolving into a pillar of salt.

So we just hung out and enjoyed hanging out at the beach. Eddie would run around and peep at girls. Aunt Lily would go and put her feet in the surf and let out her succubus wail that attracted sailors.

Who she introduced to Grandpa. It was their favorite father daughter thing to do.

It's nice to be missed

I have been busy in the store so my  internet work has been limited to Lem's Levity. I wanted to help Lem keep his joint alive so I am throwing some old stuff up and then adding a new thing here and there.

Of course that means I have posted less here but I will pick it up once we have the Japan wholesale order out on next Wednesday. But a funny thing happened at one of the other places I have been posting "Previously TV." I haven't been posting for a week or more and people missed me. They like me. They really really like me. A couple of people direct messaged me and one made a comment asking where I was. It is nice to feel missed.

Custer is just a very compelling character!

So I am finishing up the new Robert Conroy novel of alternative history called "Custer in Chains." The premise is that Custer survives the Little Big Horn and is a hero who is elected President. He looks around to see what he can do and decides to start a war with Spain a couple of decades before it happened in our timeline.

Hilarity ensuses and Custer ends up getting captured by the Spanish. Don't ask. It is pretty far-fetched if logical and part of the Custer mystique. There are so many crazy Custer books that it is almost a subsection in the library like vampire books or something.

The first of these books I read many years ago. It was novel by Douglas C Jones and it portrayed a fictional court martial of Custer after the Little Big Horn. Several old school Union generals are on the jury. RC Ocean would get a kick out of it.

I have spoken about the weirdest version before. It is the series which starts with "The Year the Cloud Fell." In it the Indians win the war and Custer becomes President. Oh and they ride dinosaurs instead of horses. It is very realistic.

When I was a kid I enjoyed the Custer TV series "The Legend of Custer." It wasn't all that accurate but I enjoyed it. All of those TV shows were about American Heroes. Custer. Daniel Boone. Davy Crockett. The Swamp Fox. Old white guys. You don't have that anymore. There are no heroes in American History that will be profiled on TV. You get your Dexters or Don Drapers or Hannibals. But no Davy Crockett. Definitely no Custer.

So you have to find it in books. Maybe I should write one. An alternative history with Custer. But no dinosaurs. That has already been done. Vampires? Gay? Furries?

Wait a minute! He had long hair and was very vain and his wife was a control freak who managed every part of his life. I got it.

Transsexual Custer!

That's a million dollar idea right there.

Remembrance of Things Pabst

After we finished wandering around all of the high end shopping joints we wandered around looking for a restaurant to sit down and have a bite. We wandered down Fifth and decided to head to Madison. We were on 59th and came across a cute bistro named Bottega de Vino.

It is an old school Upper East Side Italian restaurant with waiters dressed up and old fashioned service. There were a bunch of tourists, bridge and tunnel people, and executives out cannoodling with their secretaries or their side pieces. Directly across from us there was this old white guy chatting up a hot young Latina with her boobs hanging out. We took a photo with our reflection in the glass but I didn't want to get the girls photo in the shot. I think she was a pro and was too aware of the situation. But is is an artsy fartsy photo.

I screwed up and didn't take any photos of the appetizers. We did the cheese plate and a nice goat cheese soufflé with a pistachio pesto on the side. Very tasty. I had one glass of wine because that is my limit these days and Lisa didn't have any because of her allergies.

By the way the prices were pretty pricey but that is normal for the East Side. So the apps went for around $12 but you got a lot for your money so I had no complaints.

Next we ordered the main course. Lisa has gone to a totally gluten free diet as it is imperative for her health. You can always find an alternative if you just ask questions. It turns out that they have a gluten free linguine which we got with garlic and oil, grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes and gaeta olive. It was pretty tasty.

I don't have too many restrictions so I ordered tortellini stuffed with beef and prosciutto in a cream sauce. It was quite tasty and delicious.

Then it was time for the desert. We don't always get desert but since it was a rare night out in the city we decided to go for the full boat. The menu was typical for a mid level Italian restaurant.

We don't do cake and most of it was with gluten so we decided to just do gelato. Lisa did the chocolate and I did the peanut butter. It was very nice.

All in all it was a fun time. We ordered Uber to go home and relax. A day in the city. You have to make the best of it at the time you can.
