Say What Now?

Hello My Dear Friends! The other day, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, stumping for her friend Hillary, said that there was a "special place in hell for women who don't help each other". Ignoring the fact that, if that statement were true, her candidate would have VIP seating in that special place, Albright should know better. Trying to shame young women into casting their votes based on anatomy or hormonal balance is just plain stupid. Gloria Steinem, the day before, announced that young women were supporting Bernie Sanders because "that's where the boys are". Wow. So, it appears Mrs. Clinton's new campaign strategy is "Hey girls, you don't really know what you're doing so you may as well do it with me"! "Sisterhood, it's not for the well informed"! Now, granted, Albright and Steinem are 78 & 81 respectively and, with all do respect, haven't had any use for their ovaries for the better part of 30 years so this line of campaigning could be the equivalent of 'taking the old girls out for one last spin'. Either way, it's insulting and it will not produce the outcome you were hoping for.
Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton decided to use his post-game press conference to show the world what a poor sport he is. He pouted, sighed and walked out before the press conference was over. Classy. After much criticism, Newton defended his behavior by saying, " I'm on record as being a sore loser. I hate losing. You show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser".  Someone give that man a Participation Trophy! The problem here, Mr. Newton, is that you fail to see the difference between good loser and good person. You are neither. No one expects you to be happy about losing. People do expect a grown man to act like a man. You failed miserably. Anyone can be gracious when they're winning. Character, Mr. Newton, is defined by how you act when times are tough.
Finally, during Sunday's Superbowl, a group called NARAL, a pro-abortion lobbying group, spent their time trolling commercials for "sexist" content. Amazingly, they found something wrong with nearly every ad that aired! Among the tops of their hit parade, The Hyundai ad with Kevin Hart (one of my personal favs) was "sexist" and "misogynistic" for not trusting his daughter and basically stalking her. The Snickers commercial was "trans-phobic" because it had a man in a dress. Then there was the Doritos commercial where the Dad was eating Doritos during the ultrasound. NARAL took issue with Doritos for "trying to humanize a fetus". LOL! You do realize that it is human, right? I mean, she's not going to give birth to a Volvo. Geez. Lighten up! Whether you believe that life begins at conception or at birth, I think we can agree that said life is a human one. Or maybe it's a puppy-monkey-baby, puppy-monkey-baby, puppy-monkey-baby!
