    From the white privilege desk at the NYT:

    Effective yesterday, The New York Times began capitalizing the word “Black” when describing people and cultures of African origin. “We believe this style best conveys elements of shared history and identity, and reflects our goal to be respectful of all the people and communities we cover,” Dean Baquet, the executive editor, and Phil Corbett, another senior editor, wrote in a memo.

    The Times will not be capitalizing the word “white.” As Dean and Phil explained: “There is less of a sense that ‘white’ describes a shared culture and history. Moreover, hate groups and white supremacists have long favored the uppercase style, which in itself is reason to avoid it.”

The youth/internet/cell phone generation might wanna bone up on some common sense...

    But since I'm not interested in educating the uneducatable, I present my gift to you, the fabulous film, "The Guide For the Married Man."

    I think anyone reading this will love love this movie. It's from '67 (the year I was born...) It's about how to cheat on your wife, how to do it properly, with respect and class, and without getting caught. It Stars Walter Matthau, Robert Morse, and a huge laundry-list of top celebrities we all know. Politically incorrect satire at its finest! I've watched this movie a hundred times and I'm still not tired of it! Not one second of it is serious.

    ..."What we need in the world today..." (A quote from the movie's theme song by the Turtles...)
    One of my favorite scenes in any movie is the one in the above film illustrating the rule “Deny, Deny, Deny,” which is the standard in American politics, as can be seen in abundance as Obama on down deny, deny, deny their invention and prosecution of the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax —

    Whatever you do and no matter how red-handed you are caught, deny it!

    From the same era and in the same vein — with Jack Lemon/Terry-Thomas/Verna Lisi, How To Murder Your Wife and starring the “globada globada machine.”

    Of course. Peroxide, it's not just for buttholes anymore.
