I'm so glad I'm married and don't have to try and go out and figure out how to date these days.....anyone whose gotten laid since 1993 may be under suspicion for debauchery.

Remember when everyone laughed at Pence for refusing to be alone with any woman other than his wife?  

He's not looking so crazy now, is he?

I do not remember that, but it appears he was ahead of the curve in his thinking.

So?  Consenting adults.  Poor taste, bad judgement, not illegal.

My ancient civilization theory posted in the Lake Van thread looks more and more plausible every day

I think a lot of it is crazy.  Just goes to show none of those elected officials are better than anyone else.   They can all get off the high horse.

Of course they aren't. Everyone has vices, demons and skeletons in the closet of some sort. For some reason we hope that elected officials, teachers,  police officers etc....will be better than than the norm. There's probably a few that are, but for the most part they all fall into the bell curve like the rest of us.

 

I don't known if they necessarily have a soap box to shout from or if they have a higher bar of standards based on their title. Whatever it is though, the higher you climb in life the further the fall. There are people that are really good at certain things which gets them into decent jobs and positions if power, but that doesn't mean they are good people.

 

Also, the old saying that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones always holds true.

NOOOOO!!!

 

Shakes the Clown, the movie, had the greatest single line in a review I ever saw. I think it was Betsy Sherman of the Boston Globe who said "Shakes the Clown is the Citizen Kane of alcoholic clown movies."

However insane this sounds, and is, Harvey Weinstein is the best thing to happen to this country in decades and decades. Or perhaps I should include the Washington Post reporters who researched and wrote the story, along with all the women who came forward against him on record.

I'll agree about the women who came forward.  Rose McGowan FTW.

 

The rest of it?  Meh.  It is in the predictable process of being watered down while the pedophelia stuff which seemed inevitable to be exposed, is slowly drifting away.  Again.
