Louder with Carly

2015_08 Dem vs GOP

It’s a sad, but true fact that the Left is all about identity politics. If they’re going to run Hillary … and I don’t see anyone else making a credible bid, despite all her issues … we MUST run a woman across from her. Fortunately, we have someone in Carly “Grow A Pair and Lead” Fiorina who, at this point, appears to be someone I can enthusiastically support. Watch this interview. Please!

Tapper Slams White House for Not Watching Planned Parenthood Videos [1:46]

Dear Mr. White House Spinmeister,

You are so damned concerned about the “political agenda” of the people who made the video. Well, back atcha, buddy. Democrats are falling all over themselves to defend Planned Parenthood, which funnels MILLIONS into Democrat campaign coffers. Meanwhile, yeah, Republicans are defending the unborn and the laws of this nation … which the videos prove Planned Parenthood flouts for profit.  I know who I’ll vote for.

Sincerely, Chrissy the Hyphenated

Planned Parenthood tweeted this GOP debate graphic. I suspect they mean it to deter people from supporting any GOP candidate. Bwahahaha!

DELAID DEBAYTE ANULLSISSES

Teck gai ficksed comporter. spel chek duznt werk.

Actually, in the Common Core spelling curriculum, this is correct.
Tech guy spent much of Friday trying to resolve the issues I was having. Hopefully he’s cleared them up for now.
I watched part of Thursday’s debate (flipped back and forth, the Cubs-Giants game was on, what can I say?) For the most part, it was well worth the price of admission. You saw the kind of serious questions of the candidates that you would never, ever see CNN or MSDNC deign to ask a democrat. Of course, everybody wanted to see what The Donald would say and they were not disappointed.
I am one of those who never trusted this huckster, and trust him even less now. He wouldn’t commit to not going third party and he responded to questions like Obie from Nairobi does… with petulance and nastiness. Megyn Kelly is a tough interviewer, but there was real animosity between her and Trump. It appeared to me that Fox planned to ambush him all along, some say at the behest of one Jeb Bush.
Carly Fiorina was clearly the winner of the ‘Happy Hour’ debate, which only family and friends of the candidates were allowed in. The next debate is a little over a month away. Whether she polls strong enough to sit at the big boys’ table remains to be seen. After the smoke cleared, it’s not clear if anybody changed hearts and minds. Phony Frankie Luntz had his focus group, of course, but I never paid any attention to that clown anyway.

Grunt’s Friday Night Sucky Movie Micro-Review: Serena

Ser3
Here at the Gruntington Post, we watch the sucky movies, and warn you about them, so you don’t have to. In the case of the beautifully filmed Serena, starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, which debuted early in 2015, one might be tempted to assume that it’s worth a couple hours. One might be wrong. There’s a reason why a studio sits on a movie starring two A-list actors for over two years before releasing it, and it has nothing to do with ‘scheduling’, which is the excuse the studio gave.

Set in a depression-era logging camp near Asheville, North Carolina during the time the Great Smoky Mountains National Park was being assembled, the film was shot in the achingly beautiful forests of the Czech Republic on one of the most skillfully constructed outdoor sets I’ve seen in a long time. The surroundings are utterly convincing – more so than the acting, which is not terrible. The visuals are worth a look, really.

The acting is not bad, although the decision to have Bradley Cooper use his eastern coastal accent was a terrible one. It comes across as identical to his well-known Christopher Walken impression, which is amusing, but ridiculous. At times you think you’re watching Christopher Walken courting Jennifer Lawrence, and that’s just disturbing. Lawrence handles the part of the disturbed and damaged beauty well, but she’s most convincing when she’s silently staring or having an emotional breakdown.

The real suckiness with Serena comes from the story, which is based on the book by Ron Rash, and possibly its execution by director Susanne Bier. Character development is poor and unconvincing, and the story is just too tragic to be satisfying in any way. It gets a 95% ranking on the “Everybody Dies” scale, and overall, gets 2 out of 5 grunts. It could work as a good date movie, as long as you both fall asleep by the mid-point. I don’t recommend waiting to find out what happens. Hint: Refer to the Everybody Dies Index mentioned above. Don’t go watch this movie thinking anybody but peripheral characters are going to survive and live happily ever after. You’ve been warned.

Finally Free of the Clutches of the Aging, Leftist, Media Oligarchy, Fox-Moderated GOP Debates Expose Bright Light of Reality to a Weary Nation.

Still a little queasy from the rarified air of a debate refreshingly free of loaded Marxist moderator questions, I’ve recovered enough to make the following observations about the first-tier GOP debates:
150804161246-fox-2016-debate-stage-lead-bash-dnt-large-169
1. Donald Trump is now recognized by everyone as the pompous buffoon that he is. And this should have been obvious already for months. Favorite stumble: When he bragged that he had bought favors from half the politicians on the stage, in defense of his previous suspicious contributions to Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. Though some of the debaters chimed in “NOT ME,” Chris Christie looked painfully silent, and sealed his identity (and Trump’s along with him) as the biggest crony insider on the stage.

2. It’s not really a secret now that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are going to be openly mocked by children on the dirt streets of remote Filipino villages for a century at least as the most historically inept and corrupt politicians in history, including Soviet-era commissars. I don’t see how this can be avoided now, even if they hire a whole army of Marie Harfs.
