I was actually going to come home and watch The Handmaid's Tale today, but while the TV has to "warm up" before loading Hulu, I punched up some reviews to look over.
(what's with that, Hulu? The TV has to warm up? I swear there are no tubes in the TV, it's too frickin' skinny for tubes, come on, it's an LED screen)
Reading the scary tones and alarmist rhetoric, I was reminded of the sermons of hell fire and brimstone of my childhood, and so of course my automatic skeptic alarm bells began to ring loudly.
I changed my mind and deleted this one off my list of things to watch. I had enough right-wing apocalyptic frights growing up; I'm not going to fall for left-wing fright tactics, thanks.
Didn't anyone tell you guys you don't win people over to your viewpoint by scaring them? It's not like that's worked for thousands of years...
Oh, wait... Shit.

Sex and Politics
So this is what the old folks were warning us about when they were anxiety-ridden over the hippie's free love movement bringing our social mores down, even at the highest ranks of our nation.
Pussy grabbing controversy ala Trump 2016
sigh
presidential election my ass
Look, I'm all good with appreciating sexual beauty, a healthy sex appetite is great! But you don't have a license to grab pussy uninvited just because you've earned a little fame. No one does, and guys can talk about pussy appreciation to each other all they want without crossing the line of middle-school pressure to feel someone up uninvited. So yeah, I hold a presidential candidate to a higher standard.
I'm voting for Gary Johnson. Best case scenario, he wins with 35% of the vote nationwide. He is on all 50 ballots after all, and the pollsters keep only giving two choices and brushing off people who specify Gary. I'm thinking there's going to be a lot more support for the Johnson-Weld ticket than the mainstream politicos are bargaining for.
In the meantime, I'll do some cuddly wuddly appreciation of Joshua Varozza (and no, I wouldn't just walk up and grab his crotch or any other temptingly huggable man - talking is okay, touching is not, talking about touching is just eww)*
*Post script: I will always defend the human right to speak, even if it is crass, sexist, racist, or any other form of disgusting. As a consequence, I reserve the right to point out that such speech identifies such a speaker as crass, sexist, racist, or disgusting. I do not approve of such speech, however legal it may be.
