ANOTHER THING WE CAN BLAME MARGARET THATCHER FOR
"When Margaret Thatcher was prime minister, I had the easiest time making the movie Yentl in London, & I'm convinced that's because there was a woman running the country ... By the time John Major was running the show, it had reverted to being a boy's club."
— Political scientist Barbra Streisand (who tells us she's also a great speller) (H /t Scott M)

Pass the kool-aid!
"Drinking kool-aid" does not only refer to the Jim Jones/Jonestown mass murder-suicide. It also references the "electric kool-aid acid test" of the early '60s. In those good old days, LSD would be put in a punch bowl full of kool-aid. Dosing was somewhat problematic. So, drinking deeply of the kool-aid has this second, more interesting reference.
So, Bawhbra is about the right age for a kool-aid chugger. That and the tin foil hat she wears.

Yes, it was easier to make a movie (which as everybody knows is directly controlled by the government) when Maggie Thatcher was Prime Minister.
You see, she was well-known for her feminist leanings, even going so far as to have zero women in her first cabinet. And about six made it in the eleven years she was PM after that. She's practically Andrea Dworkin.
Barbara Streisand is actually among the very dumbest of the pretty dumb left-people currently parading their empty head in the public square.
Yentl? It was balderdash anyway!!

I take it that you aren't filing B.S. under "hot neo-fascist of the day?"

I'm waiting for the day when Ted Kennedy says he misses the days of Reagan since old people aren't respected any longer.
Or maybe Jeff feels that way. ;)

As a matter of fact, I'm often mistaken for Ryan Seacrest

Jeff, you are SO much cuter than Ryan Seacrest! And much more manly I would imagine. Heck, I'm more manly.
Anywho, I guess Barbara will be THRILLED with President Rice?

I'd really like to buy a Beautiful Autrocities coffee cup, but don't you think $12 is a bit steep? It doesn't even hold 20 oz. When are you going to have a sale?
