On Marlene Dietrich and Jean Arthur Almost Throwing Down In the 1948 Movie, "Foreign Correspondent"

 


   Damn those horseshoes and hand-grenades. They ruin it every time. 

   As to who would have won, I see Dietrich coming out strong (possibly even dropping Jean a time or two), tiring considerably in the later rounds, and then Arthur ultimately winning via an 11th round TKO (Dietrich bleeding profusely out of both nostrils and unable to withstand the onslaught). Something like that.

 On Being the Type of College Kid Who Champions a Piece of Crap Like the Ayatollah While Simultaneously Throwing the 30,000 People that the Creep Had Slaughtered Simply for Protesting His Depravity Under a Gigantic Islamist Bus - My suspicion is that they're largely comprised of several traits. a) They're heavily indoctrinated and insular. b) They're likely humanities students (reinforcing the indoctrination) and therefore not the sharpest students on campus. And c) they're presumably somewhere on the psychopathy spectrum in that they do abominable stuff like celebrating the murder of a thousand plus Israelis by a large contingent of troglodytes who were given billions of dollars in aid and used it not to build a functioning society but rather armaments and an advanced tunnel network (banned from civilian use, no less)....... Sorry, that was a bit of a run-on sentence but you know me, once I get on a role......

On the Democrats Going Apoplectic that Their Adversaries Are Gerrymandering In Texas and Tennessee - So the exact same nonsense that they've been shitting out for decades (can you say, New England, anybody?), in other words. Thankfully for them their brain-disordered voters and media buffoons don't know much about history and so the downside is minor. It seems.

 On NBC News Having the Occasion to Cover a Story Involving Kyle Rittenhouse and Characterizing the Fellow as Follows - "A young man who gained fame by opening fire at a 2020 Civil-Rights Rally." So by telling three lies in one sentence, in other words. a) He didn't gain fame but instead garnered nonstop vilification. b) The dude didn't "open fire" but instead shot three people (one of which was a pedophile, oh well) who were trying to kill him. And c) it wasn't a damned civil-right rally but rather a violent and low-IQ riot in which million of dollars in damage was accrued. 

  P.S. And no, I'm trying to hold any sort of vigil for Rittenhouse. The kid shouldn't have been anywhere near that place (and you really have to wonder about his parents here but, whatever). But being at a location isn't a crime and neither is defending yourself from wackos.

Barbara Stanwyck, Sexiest Woman Ever?

 Definitely in the running, that's for certain (her competition being Jean Arthur, Susan Hayward, Faye Dunaway, and Linda Fiorentino).


 On England's Low-IQ and Heartily Effeminate Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, Recently Giving One of His Venal Speeches In Which He Accuses People Who Have Understandable Concerns Pertaining to His Idiotic Immigration Policies of, "Sewing Division", and Doing so In as Divisive a Way as Humanly Possible (i.e., Using All of His Stock Insults, Bogus Accusations, etc.) - Not exactly sure how Parliament operates these days, but if this asshat isn't getting savaged on a regular basis and embarrassed beyond comprehension, then the competing parties (to the degree that they exist with the Tories being useless) might as well just throw in the towel.

On the Lee Remick, Montgomery Clift Partnership In the 1960 Elia Kazan Classic Film, "Wild River"

The age difference seems a bit pronounced (it's actually only a 15 year difference but with Monty having had a tough life and Ms. Remick looking more like 18 than 24, there's an incongruence to it, I find) but if you can get beyond that and suspend imagination the combination works quite well so does the story. I give it an 8 out of 10.
