  I had my TV on as I sat and worked on art projects, yesterday. The movie, 'Logan's Run ,' was playing. I'm sure I had seen it before but don't really remember much. It's supposed to be a story set in a dystopian future where no one older than 29 is allowed to live. They even have a gladiator type send off for the losers on their 30th. This movie does not age well, but made a whopping $9 million on opening weekend. The star of the movie is Michael York, who was 33 at the time of filming. In fact, no one looks younger than 40 in this film. I won't give the plot away... Ok, yes I will. York, aka, Logan5, is a Sandman. He goes after and kills people who are nearing their "last day," and decide they'd prefer it not be their last day, so they run. Apparently, he figures out they might be on to something so decides to run away as he nears his death day. He takes Jenny Agutter with him- more like drags her with him. Women apparently are still vulnera...

 Hey, finally someone who said it, too. And we have the same name. Sullivan has the same thoughts I do regarding the Welker/ Trump interview . Although many praise Welker's pit bull attack, she backed down like a scolded Lab. You don't call someone, "Sir," after they just called you stupid. You don't ask for a redo after he stomps off, not before patting on the shoulder you like a child and calling you, "darling." I'm still trying to figure out what the point of the interview was. Welker started in on him right away, knowing what his reaction would be. But then after the response WE ALL KNOW he was going to provide, she nearly gets on her knees begging him to stay  It was good theater, folks, and lousy reporting. As I wrote in a previous post about this, she later talked about the incident, barely hiding her glee. She and her handlers believed it to be a great success. Ratings wise, it sure was. Don't they call that rage bait? Yeah, I'm not f...

  After the Great Layoff of 2009, when our company owner made good his promise to get rid of people if Obama was elected, I was out of a job, one I loved for nearly ten years. It was not easy finding anything or anyone who would hire me. After almost eight months I was hired by a property management company to clean apartment buildings after they became vacant. It was a part time job, one where I had three interviews before being hired. The woman who interviewed me the first round was a very nice older woman who kept asking me what cleaning products I used. It was a strange question since she had already told me the products they provided. I wasn't planning on mixing up my own batch of environmentally safe magic potions. I sweated as I lied my way in. "Oh, yes, I use baking soda and toothpaste to scrub out my refrigerator." Whatever. After this nonsense went on for two months I was hired. Two weeks after I began, the lovely older woman retired and was replaced with "...

I suppose Jerry Seinfeld has a point. Palestine no longer exists- because Israel destroyed it. The truly sad part is he seems to find joy in that. He has stated before that he doesn't care a bit about the loss of lives, the complete annihilation of innocent people. Amongst the Palestinians lived a group of evil beings who thought nothing of taking the lives of Jews on October 7th during the last days of a music festival. We all know the story. We've seen the images from both sides, each inflicting violence and death. At some point Bibi Netenyahu needed to be stopped. It wasn't enough the people of Palestine lost their homes and buried family members, he wants them obliterated. Jerry Seinfeld has no problem with this.  I don't know - considering the history regarding the extreme hate for the Jewish heritage, it's culture, religion and people - taking into account the past where ancestors walked into gas chambers by unhinged lunatics, you'd think they understand t...

  Why even bother? Misty Roberts received a 90 day sentence for raping her son's friend during a pool party where the sixteen year old was drunk. The prosecutors had asked for seventeen years. Not even close. Ninety days. Reading the comments after have read the outcome, it doesn't surprise me. What the heck, he enjoyed it, right? An older, pretty woman who had clout (she was the mayor at the time of the incident) comes on to a young male who is asking for it. There are a hundred million stories of young males losing their virginity to older women. Many speak of the experience fondly, a rite of passage. Sixteen. Practically a man. It's different for boys coming of age. They want it.  No, it's not different, but seems to be accepted in our society. It is a very complicated and vulnerable time for young adults exploring endless possibilities. The body is changing, as well as brain development. The part where we can assess risk factors doesn't even mature until our mi...

  They found her on a train with a can of cider near her. She remained silent, a child alone, looking out of place and had passengers baffled by her lonely vigil. Poor girl. No one even noticed her missing. She was a mannequin. No, she really was a mannequin, apparently stolen away from her mum in the wee hours by a group of, well, here in the US, we'd call them criminals, thieves, perps, the unsubs. In the UK they call them lads having a bit o' fun. A stag. No harm, no foul. The child was returned to her mum where they hung out at a train museum. The child most certainly enjoyed her adventure. She was wheeled back home due to her inebriated state, according to authorities.  Sometimes when the algorithms align I get videos of bobbies rounding up the misfits in the streets of London. Occasionally the fellows have had too much ale after a pub crawl and talk back to the copper.  Drunken British lad: "Aye, get yer hairy mitts off me pleather jacket, mate. I just bought it fo...
