Early morning WTF?!? Buzzfeed sinks to new levels of vapidness [Purp]
— Open Blogger

Nancy Reagan in her prime is more hittable than Michelle Obama. I don't doubt the veracity of this polling, I do however question the kind of cachet BuzzFeed is trying to ummm...nurture with it.

Doods, Perez Hilton got the trashy turf staked out already. Quit while you're ahead.

8 Impressive results for George Sr. Glad to see that. I was surprised by the Jackie results though. Must be the photo that they chose. She was a honey. Maybe it was the Life magazine cover that I remember. Nancy DID do movies after all, so that was a no-contest, even though they could have picked a much hotter picture of her. mooch is a blimp in comparison to any of those slims.

9 Third-World levels of sycophancy. Nicolae Ceaușescu didn't have as many toadies puckering up to do a hard day's ass kissin'.

Here's a simple hittability test: try to imagine Michelle Obama appearing on screen at the height of 1950's film noir. Ha ha, I am, of course, joking, and was deliberately implanting an unwanted image in your mind. Nancy Reagan was paid money to be in the movies during what might have been the last era of real glamour. Not even a fair contest.

20 "1920s Harlem zoot suit queen" Vic, that's harsh. Look up some of those Harlem Renaissance types. They looked really good, especially compared to contemporary ethnic stylings. If the Obamas picked up a Harlem Ren look, it would help.

Trouble is, I've read Barack's poetry, and he can't hang with that Harlem crowd. Although he has, after all, sung at the Apollo.

The zoot suit was one of those stupid fashion nightmares that was a brief fad. For the older Morons it is the equivalent of the Nehru Jacket.

49 I'm kind of surprised that we don't have any low riders around, considering the number of Mexicans that live in this area. Twenty five years ago, we had a lot of Mexican migrant farm workers who came during the season and then left. About fifteen years ago they suddenly failed to move on. I don't know what changed but they have been here ever since.

50 The Zoot Suit was a 1930s counter culture icon in the way that long hair was for the Hippie Movement. If you wore a Zoot Suit you were pretty much snubbing your nose at tradition. Wearing a Zoot Suit back then was almost like giving the middle finger to those in the seats of Power. It was a statement that told every one that "I do what I want whether you like it or Not". Zoot Suit History started almost overnight with no exact pinpoint of birth. Almost Viral if you will.

58 @40

You have to realize that any outbreak of progressiveness tends to spread like cancer.

So progressives in NY ban soda, salt, trans-fats, etc. and it spreads first to other liberal states like California then by force of numbers it becomes defacto policy.

We've seen this before, this is the way of things, everything moves in the direction the progressives desire.

Slowly at first, sometimes rapidly, then preto-chango the progressives desires come to fruition and they move on to the next thing.

66 Good Morning Morons. Today is Tuesday, February 19, 2013. On this day in 1859 Daniel Sickles was acquitted with the first use of temporary insanity as a legal defense in U.S. history. He had killed his wifeÂ’s lover. One wonders why he used the insanity defense when in those days it was considered justifiable homicide. In any case he got away with a lot of shit being a prominent NY politician. He was a general at Gettysburg and received the Medal of Honor for moving his entire command without orders and getting them all killed. I guess the MOH wasnÂ’t much then being new and all.

Fox has always been on the amnesty bus as well. First off, there is no single Â“Tea PartyÂ”. This is one CA group.

And that is lower spending, lower taxes, and following the Constitution as written. When they start getting into this kind of shit they become just another political interest group.

102 Endeavor, I am a bit of a fan of Japan and anime. But not in this case. I see that show was done by students.

For science fiction that owes much to 'Forever War' is the short movie 'Voices of a Distant Star.' About a Japanese high school student who recruited to help battle the alien Taurans. She has to leave the boy she likes back on Earth.

Morning, 'rons and 'ronettes. Florence Harding was hotter than the First Wookie.

Sorry there was no story yesterday; we had some connection problems here at stately Poppins Manor. But I was asked about Myrna Loy. . .

Myrna Loy (born Myrna Williams) always wanted to be an actress, appearing in stage productions from the age of 15 on. Through the efforts of Rudolph Valentino's wife, Natacha Rambova, she was recommended for a small part in the movie What Price Beauty? Sadly, she lost out on the part she'd hoped for, being relegated to a walk-on, and the movie itself didn't get released until 1925. But, in one of those serendipitous happenings, studio shots of her in costume and makeup for Beauty appeared in a number of fan magazines, and her sultry, sloe-eyed beauty made her a hit with fans, who wrote numerous letters asking, "who's that girl?" Warner Brothers tracked her down, signed her to a contract and changed her last name to Loy.

Loy went through a long "Eurasian" period in her movie career, being cast as the exotic, man-eating vamp. Sometimes she was homegrown, as in her prtrayal of Morgan Le Fay in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court; at other times, she was cast as the licentious, cruel half-breed, "demurely coy and divinely cold," as in her portrayal of Boris Karloff's daughter Fah Lo See in The Mask of Fu Manchu - a portrayal I think catches our own Empress Alex to a T (except for the half-breed bit).

But it wasn't until Loy was paired with William Powell in The Thin Man series of films that she finally achieved - in her words - "overnight success after 80 movies." MGM chief Louis B. Mayer hadn't wanted Loy for the part, believing her to be mainly a dramatic actress. Director W.B. Van Dyke, however, had seen a number of Loy's movies and caught a sense of trickery and comedy behind her screen image. At a party, the two were discussing the proposed Thin Man movie when Van Dyke suddenly pushed her into a pool. When she came up gasping, swearing and laughing at the director, he knew she was perfect for the role of Nora Charles. Mayer only agreed to star her if the movie was shot in three weeks, since Loy was already scheduled to begin Stambou Quest at that time.*

The role of Nora Charles, like that of Rhett Butler for Gable or Professor Marvel for Frank Morgan, was the once-in-a-lifetime role that guaranteed screen immortality, and it's possible to enjoy every Thin Man film without ever having to watch another Loy movie. By 1937, she was on the list of top ten box-office draws, and in 1938, she was voted "Queen of Hollywood," as consort to Gable's "King."

Her last film with Powell was Song of the Thin Man in 1947, but she continued making movies, including the wonderful Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House and Cheaper By the Dozen, though at a much more sporadic pace than in the 1930s and 40s. Her last film was Just Tell Me What You Want in 1980. In 1991, she received an honorary Academy Award for her career achievements; her appearance on camera from her New York home was the last time she appeared in public. She died in 1993.

There really aren't any "stories" as such about Loy; she was the consummate professional, always on time, knowing her lines and ready to go, no matter how large or small the part. Even her affairs - reputedly with Spencer Tracy, Tyrone Power and Leslie Howard - were discreet and her own public and private images were spotless. In fact, I've only found one thing she said which rather disappoints me: during an appearance on a 1982 TV show, Legends of the Screen, she had this to say about a fellow actor:

"I never worked with Ronald Reagan. I'm not happy that he's President. I was willing to give him a chance. But he's destroying everything now I've lived my life for."

Well, even screen legends can be wrong once in a while.

And that's it for this morning. Now I'm off to grab a cup of tea and then head over to the DMV; my licensce expired yesterday without my knowing about it. At least I've got a copy of The Director's Cut to keep me entertained. Perhaps you should buy a copy and be entertained, too. Available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble and now on Kindle.

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

*Mayer thought he'd tricked Van Dyke into an impossible promise, but the director wasn't called "One-Take Woody" for nothing. He made it with time to spare.

The Zoot Suit Riots (as in the Cherry Poppin' Daddies song) were in 1943, and the Latino kids involved were still wearing zoot suits. 2.) I didn't see that restored Martha Washington painting from a couple years ago. The one where everyone's reaction was "Holy shit! She was hot!" 3.) Anita Ekberg with a Ferrari Daytona or GTFO.

107 "She treats her womb like a clown car"

My great-grandmother had 11 children, you asshole.

Of course, she had them all by her husband, and they all worked a farm instead of demanding welfare. By the time the youngest was born, the oldest daughter (my grandmother) was grown and working for wages that she brought home, and the older sons were all working as hired men in addition to helping out with the farm.

There's nothing wrong with having a lot of a kids, per se. Having one kid and sucking the public teat for the next 18 years (...and then the kid does the same thing) is much worse than having 11 kids you can care for (...and then they grow up to be productive members of society, farmers and sailors and electricians, etc).

SoCal Gas prices spike as refineries switch to summer blend

Last month Southland motorists were worried about prices nearing $4 a gallon, but the region has blown past that mark and pump prices are still ramping up. On Friday the average price for a gallon of regular gas in the Los Angeles-Long Beach region was $4.29 a gallon, up 12 cents from a week ago and up 55 cents from a month earlier.

California refineries are also in the middle of their switch from winter to summer blends.

Summer blend.

(Also, Ronnie? Very hittable. And wow, Nancy was a looker.)

One thing I noticed that I find hilarious? They felt the need to circle Nixon in the picture they used for him. As if the fact that A) he's standing front and center and clearly the focus of the shot, and B) HE LOOKS LIKE RICHARD NIXON were not enough.

FDR was a great wartime President, but a horrible President in all other regards. But since people in his day regarded him as their savior from the Great Depression they turned him into a secular saint. To this DAY he's still considered a saint by the Left. Ask anyone of almost any age to list their top five favorite Presidents from history and 9.5 times out of 10 you're going to get Lincoln, Washington and FDR in the top 3, with the only variation being the order in which they're listed.

Today's education on American history is so poor that a lot of kids just assume that, since FDR was elected FOUR times, that MUST mean he was a great President. They don't really seem to notice that almost immediately after he kicked the bucket we got the 22nd Amendment.

As with most things on the Left it's all about pretending to be something they aren't in order to proffer a false image of objectivity. "Sure we hate you, but we're an objective organization and we can pretend NOT to hate you for business purposes. You can't expect us to give you EVERYTHING, because we still hate you, even if we pretend we don't. You understand, don't you? Oh, and help yourself to some arsenic - I MEAN! - raspberry Kool-Aid when you get here. It's delicious."

220 206 So how come the old USSR could seperate but we can't? Even the provinces in Canada have that right. Posted by: Case at February 19, 2013 08:39 AM (FKGw9) Pre-Soviet Russia was a group of autonomous states, primarily delineated by ethnicity, language and religion. Over the centuries, as Russia became more powerful they conquered those lands and more or less incorporated them into a greater Russian empire. At least this is my understanding of the history. As for the US, it was the abandonment of Federalism and the 9th and 10th amendments over the course of the past 100 years that has created the mindset of a unified nation. But with the coming of SCOAMF and the awakening (please G-d) of the people to the dangers of an all-powerful central government, I think talk of secession is no longer greeted as tinfoil hat territory.

259 That's why I'm optimistic in some sense that we'll get through Obama.

We had Jackson, Wilson, FDR. Woodrow tried making our country fascist. FDR partially succeeded.

And skeeter is trying to finish what Lincoln & FDR started.

Don't forget LBJ. We may get through the commie bastards but the country is always worse off as a result of them. And we never reverse what they've done

260 Backwards Boy, you forget how Clinton and Democrats accelerated the 'Peace Dividend' to serve their ends while gutting the military.

That was by no means a complete list. I still can't forget that pic of him signing the Motor Voter bill with both Cloward and Piven standing behind him.

267 I don't know that Obama isn't evil. He is the very definition of evil. Look up evil in the dictionary under "I won".

268 Cherokee and Jackson, no love lost either way. If you look up the story of his childhood, he didn't just 'gin it up out of thin air. Yeah, a hard case, though.

The South also invaded Ohio, and Vermont. Ohio got invaded a lot!

Migrant workers "as we know them" were a product of WWII. Somewhat like European students being a large agricultural workforce in the 1960's, city dwellers used to "vacation" by going to upstate NY as harvesters throughout the 19th century. Obviously this died off as the hops, vines, and chestnuts did, and as the concept of full-time employment became the norm. Every progressive idea -- including, since I'm on the subject, immigration control -- has an unintended consequence. The panicky 1965 quota bill was called "The Kennedy Act."

The era of the '30's, the news media and FDR are not unlike today.

Because of the disaster of the Great Depression, which Hoover's and then Roosevelt's policies actually made worse, the Republicans were the eternal whipping boys of the media (papers and radio). It really wasn't until late in the WWII years and afterwards that people finally were fed up with the Democrats. Truman won re-election in 1948, but the Republicans captured the Senate and I think they were close to taking the House.

Somehow we survived all that, but as my late mother said (who lived through those years) that we never came closer to having a dictatorship than under FDR. A lot of people that grew up in that era adored him (including Ronald Reagan), but he was a pretentious economic buffoon, who hurt millions of people with his bad policies.

Yes, FDR wanted to win WWII, but a lot of his wartime policies were cynical and counter productive. The wartime rationing and production boards were cronyism at the worst, all justified by "winning the war". My Dad was a WWII vet and "winning the war" and the years afterward were a great cynical awakening for him, as it was for a lot of men of his generation. He occassionally talked about how disillusioned he was after coming home when the war was over. He voted for Adlai Stevenson in 1952, but that was the last time he ever voted for a Democrat.

271 I doubt that there are any lineal descendants of Andrew Jackson. He had three adopted sons and eight foster children.
