What does this have to do with the mix of the political and offbeat I’ll be posting today?….nothing. But I was stuck for a title.
Fame seems to be a double-edged sword. Carly Fiorina was the winner of Wednesday’s debate in the view of most observers. As a consequence, Trump has amped up the attack on her tenure as the head of Lucent and HP. The left is now beginning to pay attention and will no doubt dig up whatever dirt there is. She’s never been a favorite of mine as a candidate but I admire her passion and her tenacity. It’s early yet.

GOP debate most-watched show in CNN’s history
THIS IS WHY THEY DRAGGED IT OUT FOR THREE HOURS…TO GRAB THE ADVERTISING REVENUE
According to Nielsen data, the three-hour broadcast drew an average of 22.9 million viewers, making it the most-watched program in CNN history, eclipsing the 16.8 million viewers who tuned in to watch Larry King host an informal debate between Al Gore and Ross Perot in 1993. It also shattered the mark for CNN’s previously most-watched presidential primary debate, a 2008 Democratic debate that averaged 8.3 million viewers.
To put these numbers in perspective, the early primary debates during the 2012 presidential campaign drew between 4 million and 5 million viewers. But those contests didn’t have one key element: Donald Trump,

California Might Make the Porn Industry Put on a Condom
Just seeing if you’re paying attention
Efforts to mandate condom use on porn sets have been met with widespread industry resistance, demonstrating that porn producers have some of the same knee-jerk hostility to government-mandated worker protections you find in roughly every other industry. (After Los Angeles passed the condom measure, a lot of porn filming moved out of the city. But as statewide regulation will be harder for porn producers to avoid.) The standard argument is that audiences don’t want to see condoms and that routine testing of adult film performers is protection enough. However, adult film performers have significantly higher STI rates than, say, Nevada prostitutes,

Nobel Panel: On Second Thought, Giving Obama the Peace Prize May Have Been a ‘Mistake’
[We] thought it would strengthen Obama and it didn’t have this effect,” Geil Lundestad told the Associated Press in an interview.
Even many of Obama’s supporters believed that the prize was a mistake,” Lundestad wrote in excerpts of the book, the AP reports. “In that sense the committee didn’t achieve what it had hoped for.”

Trump Under Fire for How He Handles Man Who Says Muslims Are ‘Problem’ & That Obama Is Secret Muslim
WHY IS THE LEFT SO SENSITIVE ABOUT PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES?HIS DADDY AND STEPDADDY WERE BOTH MUSLIM.ACCORDING TO THE KORAN THAT MAKES HIM A MUZZIE.
Donald Trump was criticized Thursday evening for not forcefully denouncing a man at a New Hampshire town hall rally who said muslims are a “problem” and accused President Barack Obama of being one.
Trump opened the floor up to questions after delivering a few short remarks in Rochester.
“We have a problem in this country and it’s called muslims. We know our current president is one. You know he’s not even an American, birth certificate man!” the man said, referencing Trump’s former efforts to get
Obama to release his birth certificate.

Preferential Treatment Of Hillary’s Lawyer ‘Smacks Of Favoritism’
ALL THIS HAND-WRINGING ABOUT HILLARY BEING IN SERIOUS LEGAL TROUBLE IS HORSESHIT.NOBODY IS GOING TO DO A THING TO HER.THATS JUST HOW IT IS.
State Department preferential treatment of David Kendall, Hillary Clinton’s lawyer, “just smacks of favoritism and elitism,” according to Mark Zaid, one of the nation’s most experienced national security attorneys.
Kendall was permitted to keep in his office unsecured classified material of the former secretary of state’s 55,000 pages of emails maintained on a private email account and server throughout her tenure as the nation’s chief diplomat. He kept the emails in his Washington, D.C. office for seven months.
“I’ve had security clearances at the highest levels, and I have never been permitted to store classified information at my office or any other location,” attorney Zaid told The Daily Caller News Foundation. He has represented dozens of CIA covert operatives and intelligence officials during a career spanning 20 years of work in national security litigation.

Federal Court Rules Against Obamacare’s Birth Control Mandate

9th Circuit Refuses to Disqualify Judge in Case Against Sheriff Arpaio
CONSERVATIVES DON’T STAND A CHANCE WITH TODAY’S COURT SYSTEM
Breitbart News previously reported that Arpaio’s attorneys wanted Snow to recuse himself after his wife allegedly revealed his hatred of Arpaio. Snow’s wife allegedly told an old acquaintance that her husband “hates” Sheriff Arpaio and “will do anything to get [him] out of office.” But the judge refused to give up his role in the case, so Arpaio’s attorneys asked the 9th Circuit to intervene. The court refused the request on Tuesday.
