I know, but this was difficult to read :(

While Jackson has recently said that he was "wrong on the issue" and that he now supports abortion access, he did not directly comment in the debate on his voting record supporting
restrictions. "I mean, Brett Kavanaugh was against abortion when she met with him, she knew that was going to happen, and now after it's been overturned, she doesn't regret the vote," Jackson, appearing to stumble, said when the moderator asked if he
wanted to respond to Collins.

I went to Free Republic and the thread about this article has responses like this

"...amid the Iran war..." Heart attacks, seizures, accidents, etc.? Let's blame those also on PDJT and SOWH.

I immediately thought of this paragraph from Nora Ephron‘s Crazy Salad about a conversation she had with Gloria Steinem at the 1972 Democratic convention, which has been seared into my brain since I read it in 1991.

“…you concerned about welfare?' he said. He didn't understand it was a women's issue." She paused. "They
won't take us seriously. We're just walking wombs. And the television coverage. Teddy White and Eric Sevareid saying that now that the women are here, next thing there'll be a caucus of left-handed Lithuanians." She is still crying, and I try to offer some reassuring words, something, but everything I say is wrong; I have never cried over anything remotely political in my life, and I honestly have no idea of what to say.

I DID need that, thank you! Especially the giggle I got when I scrolled down to “one of these things is not like the others.”

So…like…when you went in for a filling, and the dentist didn’t use enough Novocaine, you yelled “Don’t do it, Gay Hitler!”???

My absolute favorite of his bad-movie reviews, partly because so much of it is about boobs. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/rapa...

"Rapa Nui" slips through the National Geographic Loophole. This is the Hollywood convention which teaches us that brown breasts are not as sinful as white ones, and so while it may be evil to gaze upon a blond Playboy centerfold and feel lust in our hearts, it is educational to watch Polynesian maidens frolicking topless in the surf. This isn't sex; it's
geography.

For years in my liberal youth I thought this loophole was racist, an evil double
standard in which white women were protected from exposure while "native" women were cruelly stripped of their bras, not to mention the equal protection of the MPAA. While watching "Rapa Nui," in which there are dozens if not hundreds of wondertul bare breasts on view, I have changed my mind. Since womens' breasts are the most aesthetically pleasing part of the human anatomy, it is only a blessing if your culture celebrates them.

Also, that line is a callback to the episode tease:

Synopsis
30 Rock - "Subway Hero" - April 17, 2008
Pre-credit sequence. Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) enters Jack's (Alec Baldwin) office and he tells her he's organizing a fundraiser for John McCain and he needs some women to attend, "so it doesn't turn into
another giant sausage-fest." Liz is unsure. While looking at the invitation,
she asks,
"What's the Committee to Re-Invade Vietnam?" He implores her to come and says McCain is rounding up all the cool Republican
celebrities. Liz snorts,
"Like who, Chuck Norris?" Jack admits that he and "C.Nor" had a falling out after Jack picked another Dojo. Liz says she's not giving anybody money until there’s campaign finance reform.

This is one of the SNL clips I really wish I could find online! It just isn’t anywhere. I’ve only ever found the transcript.

Kevin Nealon on SNL Weekend Update

Many people are confused by the civil ethics of a war in Yugoslavia, putting the Serbs against the Croats.. and also involving the people of Bosnia, Herze- go-vona.. -gor-vona.. or -govina... Well, it doesn't matter. Basically, there's no oil, so don’t worry about it!

He clearly learned at her knee! But the feel for people, that is different. In this article she talks about how he had it as a toddler. www.vulture.com/article/what...

“So he’d be strapped into this big seat,” she said, “and he would see the seat-belt sign go off, and he would undo his seat belt. And he would waddle off in diapers and just vaguely say ‘bye’ to me. He would go down—this is no exaggeration—and lightly and politely give his hand to the adult on the aisle. But he would not look at the adult; he would look past the adult to see if there was a child there. If there was no child, he would go to the next row and do the same.” When he finally found a playmate, she said, she would watch Zohran’s diapered bum “waddle his way into the child’s seat,” where he would spend the rest of the trip playing with his found companion. Nair recalled one time when an amused flight attendant nudged her and said, “He’s going to be a politician.”

People have posted similar on freerepublic!

"Electric chair them."
Nah, too quick and not enough real time coverage to warn the others.
Public caning during the fireworks show.
That will get their attention...

They should get the same length of sentence as those charged over Jan 6.
What these people are doing is true insurrection.
