Oh,Yoko! She is on the loose again: "designs" Butt-Baring Men's Line

Yoko, oh no!
Yoko Ono Introduces Butt-Baring Men's Line: Yoko Ono is still drawing artistic inspiration from her marriage to ex-Beatle John Lennon.

Ono's latest commercial endeavor ties back to sketches she once drew for Lennon of clothing that would, in her words, flatter his "hot bod."

(...) I've already said this years ago and anybody with a brain surviving the sixties can realize that Yoko Ono is a mind-control device of the CIA-developed MK-Ultra program. She was succesfully used to neutralize Lennon's stamina and impetus. The lads took notice of this, and helped stage an elaborated break-up (See, Get Back Sessions). 

(...) When Lennon (already tired of being harassed by the FBI) went out of his 5-year reccess to the recording studio (Ono recorded her "creations" - full of mind control messages for John - with Lennon to deliberate undermine the success of the LPs), she was supposed to be active, but somehow losing grip on him, so they decided to use the 9-B Plan (See, Catcher in the Rye, Stephen King, Male Clone). Mark David Chapman (See, Stephen King, Male Clone) met his mark when they realized The Beatles were pretty close of accepting the 3,000-plus dollars offered by Lorne Michaels to perform on Saturday Night Live. After that, another album and world tour with a second wave of Beatlemania was inveitable. 

(...) These days, the mind control device bides her time with subtly terrorizing/annoying McCartney and exploiting her husband's memory to complete irrelevance (See, Lennon's Character Assassination, Phase 3).

Charlie Sheen declares 'Two and a Half Men' cursed... (with stupidity!)

This show SUCKS
Charlie Sheen declares 'Two and a Half Men' cursed: After "Two and a Half Men" star Angus T. Jones begged us to "please stop watching," former leading man Charlie Sheen has declared the show cursed. "With Angus's Hale-Bopp-like meltdown, it is radically clear to me that the show is cursed," said Sheen, now the star of FX's "Anger Management." Jones, realizing he might have bit the hand that feeds him, released a statement taking back his claim that "Two and a Half Men" is "filth." "I apologize if my remarks reflect me showing indifference to and disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed," Jones said. "I never intended that."

These are the dumbest people I've ever seen in showbiz, not very unlike the characters they represent on screen. Does Angus T. Jones really think he is going to get lots and lots of acting gigs after the show is over? Does Charlie Sheen he's qualified to say anything about showbiz at all? What kind of person is Chuck Lorre, so that their employees behave in such a ingrateful way? What's wrong with #winning! millions of dollars since the people still like the show?

Rome Burns and the Department of Defense fiddles: US$100,000 on Klingons

HIja', wogh Huch!!!
Report: Defense Department Spent $100,000 on Klingons:

Indeed. Pax Americana is on the way out. Otherwise the Department of Defense wouldn't be spending megabucks in men staring at goats or, as Breitbart.com reports:
Research projects that have nothing to do with defense ($6 billion);
Education in the United States ($15.2 billion);
Energy research ($700 million);
Grocery stores in the United States ($9 billion);
Overhead, support, and supply services ($37 billion).

What are some of the worst offenses? Try these on for size:

$100,000 for a “strategy planning workshop on the 100 Year Starship project last year,” which “included an interesting discussion involving the Klingons, a fictional alien species who were villains and then later allies of humanity in the Star Trek series. The session entitled ‘Did Jesus die for Klingons too?’ featured philosophy professor Christian Weidemann of German’s Ruhr-University Bochum”;
An analysis of Twitter users’ slang;
Development of a phone app to tell you when you’re short on caffeine;
Pentagon research on democracy … among fish;
Development of beef jerky roll-ups ($1.5 million);
Study of why men with guns look more masculine;
$40,000 for a contest in locating ten red balloons.

The sequester may be over the top. But clearly somebody needs to take a scalpel to Defense Department spending.
A civilization is in trouble when it focus on superflous things and not the indispensable ones. It's so funny I can't even laugh.

My take: Congratulations Mr. President, but It's really over for all of us

The only thing right today is that moderate Republicans 
don't win presidential elections.

Well, the people have spoken and I'm genuinely surprised — and shattered. Everything I believed was utterly wrong, beginning with that sure as hell "Romney victory" factoid. And if Obama won - he really won - there's isn't much we can do anymore since this is the best we can do. The republican electorate wasn't motivated — it was fired up at its utmost. The despair was at the other side. The positivism for a better future was Romney's, not Obama's.

Well, the people have spoken and I'm genuinely surprised — and shattered. Everything I believed was utterly wrong, beginning with that "polls are wrong" factoid. They were pretty accurate. And now I believe that all what pundits and experts talked about time and demography against Republicans and conservatives is completely true. The left has won its long-term battle. Don't expect big changes in the future, since the european welfare state is what people really want.
And if Obama won - he really won - there's isn't much we can do anymore since this is the best we can do.
Well, the people have spoken and I'm genuinely surprised — and shattered. Everything I believed was utterly wrong, beginning with that "common sense will prevail" factoid. Paul Krugman (Paul Krugman!) wasn't a deluded fool in this case. Elizabeth Warren won her Senate race. Apparently, Massachusetts still owes big time the late Teddy Kennedy and doesn't really care about making up your background and plagiarizing as a lifestyle pays big as long as you're progressive enough. Todd Akin got his just desserts and that's pretty much it. Having half of one of the branches of public power is not enough to stop anything. Kagan and Sotomayor will be known in the future as the "moderate faction" of the new Supreme Court.

Well, the people have spoken and I'm genuinely surprised — and shattered. Everything I believed was utterly wrong, beginning with that "Benghazi will sink Obama" factoid. The MSM won this round, too. They are now entitled to get away with everything they feel they can do. They are not paying the price for their dishonest misdeeds. Why should they? 

I'm giving the political punditry for a long, long while. I might be still right but the electorate said I'm wrong. And I don't want to be right for what it might be coming. Now Obama has all the flexibility he really wanted  — Russia can rush to make that phone call again. Israel is now officially isolated and  Iran can finish that little nuclear program — and any other nation feeling entitled to it, too.

If there's anything we have learned in the past four years, it's that the United States of America can survive a long time without a proper budget. The fiscal cliff and the trillion deficit are still awaiting for an answer that didn't come these last four years. The investment climate is non existent — except for cronies. Obamacare will really take place, America will make full transition to european social democracy (Greece, make some space for America, please) and John G. Roberts has nobody to thank for that but himself.

Yeah, I was wrong when I expected a Republican to win this time. But that won't make the actual problems disappear. People have chosen to made them even worse. 

Brace yourself, Mark Steyn. This is what you were talking about.

James Bond gets shakespearean... but still kicks some

I was wondering why so sudden all the critics fell so in love with Skyfall, the latest James Bond flick. After watching it, now I know: it has the usual assorted explosions, chases and t&a, but it went full intellectual. You know, sorta... shakespearean.

The first thing you notice is that this former-lean-and-mean Daniel Craig's Bond drinks a lot, very much in the venue of the original, literary Bond (you miss him smoking). The literary Bond might be in form even if he smokes 70 cigarettes a day and a liter of whisky, but as in real life, the movie has to concede that the world's favorite agent is getting old and he's not helping himself with his lifestyle. The funny thing is that M drinks a lot, too. Judy Dench's character looks very unescrutable this time.

The gravitas of the movie is brought by themes like "shadows", and "underground". The "gritty reboot" becomes "back to the roots", and lots of the action and plot occur "underground." The Churchill Bunker, The London Tube and a "Priest Hole" play a key part in the locations.

The somber theme of the movie gets boosted by the alluded decline, not of the British Empire, but of England itself: it looks like the Bond franchise became to self-conscious and wants to ask (but doesn't dare) if it is still ok to go chasing spies after 50 years in the big screen. The movie bets big on his main business by going full circle at the end. The futuristic office of the late M is replaced by a more traditional one, like the one at the beginning of the franchise.

The villiain, played very tongue-in-cheek by Javier Bardem precisely looks down on this spy business, but Bond gets the last word. He's still more than ready to kick some arse for the Queen and England.
