Ask anyone who lived through the 50s or even the 70s and 80s and they will tell you, as far as social and cultural norms, life was much better back then... because it was.

I lived thru the 1970s and of course know many who lived in the 50s and 60s.

Without exception they insist that all matters of life are better Now then they were Then.

Life always gets better unless one wishes to control the uncontrollable.

If in fact you believe your world Today is less than it was (fill in the blank past era) there is only one person to blame.

Blaming anyone person or group of people for your current state of being is simply lazy and certainly does not align with the promoted notion of healthy self-determination I frequently hear supposed 'conservative' thinkers espouse

During the 50s I went from spud to teenager. I enjoyed the 70s and 80s immensely. The 60s not so much.


Today I look at the world as convoluted amusement.

Beginning of the lasthalf of the 20th century was summer time in America. Things have changed for
the worst. 50's when America was the undisputed greatest place, when kids thought of Indians as
the noble warriors of the plains not like today when kids think of Indians as the proprietors of every
gas station, 7-11 or convenience stores even in smaller towns.

[h=2]PIERS MORGAN: You're 52 years old, Johnny and it's time to start acting like it - before you turn into a fat old lonely weirdo like your hero Brando[/h]

It's time for an intervention as your latest marriage ends. The problem with being a movie star of such magnitude is that it's easy to disappear up inside the self-adulatory bowels of one's own 'genius'. The sheer volume of painfully sycophantic guff which must spew your way in every waking hour of the day would tip most of us over the edge. And your voice! You were born in Kentucky and raised in Florida. Where the hell did that absurd, slow-talking baritone drawl come from? Oh yes, I know: your hero, Marlon Brando, in the Godfather. But be careful on that front.

[h=2]'I was molested and passed around': Corey Feldman describes his ordeal at the hands of Hollywood pedophile ring and says Corey Haim was just eleven years old when he was first raped[/h]
34A5531C00000578-0-image-a-58_1464280506371.jpg
Corey Feldman (left) is sharing shocking new details about the rampant sexual abuse he and other young actors were forced to endure during their years in Hollywood. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter , Feldman discusses how he was repeatedly molested by adult males in the industry, saying these men would pass many young stars 'back and forth to each other.' He also reveals that his closest friend, Corey Haim (top right in 1987, bottom right in The Lost Boys with Feldman), was raped when he was just 11 by a producer, the start of a long cycle of sexual abuse that Feldman believes led to his friend's problems with drugs and alcohol later in life. Haim would struggle with drugs up until his death in 2010 at the age of 38, a death that Feldman blames on the men who abused the actor.

You got to love this pampered academia fuck.


When you think things couldn't get any worse on college campuses, this happens.


DePaul University President Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider issued a statement in response to the recent brouhaha caused by Black Lives Matter protesters shutting down a conservative event featuring Breitbart's Milo Yiannopoulos, likening them to the D-Day soldiers that stormed the beaches of Normandy and died facing a relentless Nazi army.

That’s one hell of a consolation prize.


In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Romney explains that his friends and advisers warned him not to tackle Trump in his #NeverTrump speech, but did it anyway because of his conscience.


He says his conscience was sparked by his son Josh Romney, who asked him, “When the grandkids ask ‘What did you do to stop Donald Trump?’ what are you going to say?’”


That’s when Romney says he decided to act, putting himself squarely in the path of the force that was fueling Trump’s rise to power.


But Romney appeared satisfied with his actions, explaining that he could sleep at night knowing that he did something to stand up for his values.


I wonder if he’s pissed because he didn’t get a participation award in 2012?

Trump humor or just telling it like it is?


Donald Trump says President Barack Obama is the best thing that ever happened to President Jimmy Carter.


“He is the single best thing to ever happen to Jimmy Carter because a lot of people are no longer looking at Jimmy Carter as our worst president.”

Ain’t that a kick in the head?


A Jordanian doctor who helped deliver a baby at a Saudi hospital was shot by the woman’s husband who was angry that a male obstetrician tended to his wife, according to a report in the London-based Al-Araby newspaper.


Fortunately the doctor’s wounds appear to be non-life threatening.

Do you ever wonder why is it that the Bill and Hillary Clinton are seemingly under permanent scrutiny from government investigators?

Ironic isn’t it that Obama’s presidency started out with an apology tour and is ending the same way.
