Jonathan Shapiro’s Sisters In Law (based on the cleverly titled 2015 book by Linda Hirshman) is about the U.S. Supreme Court’s first two female justices and their relationship on and off the bench. In an irony of history rightwinger Ronald Reagan appointed the first woman to sit on the high court. Stephanie Faracy portrays Sandra Day O’Connor like the screen version of Doris Day wearing robes. The Arizonan comes across as a not too bright all American gal and goody two shoes, who really doesn’t stand up for what is right.

On the other hand, Clinton Supreme Court appointee Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Tovah Feldshuh) is a feisty East Coast Jew with a lifelong devotion to equal rights for women. If O’Connor is one of those people who go along to get along (for instance, according to the play she waffled on abortion rights), Ginsburg is cut more in the crusader mold and perceived as being “pushy.” (Which, as she correctly points out, is code for an anti-Semitic trope - calling Jews “pushy” is like labeling Blacks “uppity”).

The Passage of California’s Controversial Senate Bill 276 Reveals that PharmacoFascism is Alive and Well

(Minnesota’s legislators, just like state and federal legislators everywhere, are universally vaccinology illiterate; they are hungry for campaign donations; and big pharma’s lobbyists are there to accommodate them)

Below is a list of Big Pharma-bribed California Democratic Party lawmakers (none of whom recused themselves from voting for the SB276 bill due to their blatant conflicts of interest!). Also listed is the amount of money they had accepted from multinational drug companies or their lobbying groups:

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been fooled.”-- Carl Sagan: "The Fine Art of Baloney Detection"

Further below is the final draft ofNational Security Presidential Directive 9 (NSPD-9): Defeating the Terrorist Threat to the United Stateswhose first draft had been authored by President George W.

This originality-loving Rampy gets grumpy when mediocre productions are repurposed from one medium to another in order to exploit brand name recognition, maximize profit by re-using the same content, etc. I hate today’s remake/redo/sequel syndrome from one medium to another by unoriginal copycats. Having gotten that out of my system, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the West Coast premiere of Grumpy Old Men: The Musical, which re-works the 1993 star-studded movie comedy (followed up by that inevitable sequel in 1995) which reunited that Odd Couple, Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, with Ann-Margret, along with original music performed live by an orchestra, composed by Neil Berg, lyrics by Nick Meglin and book by Dan Remmes for the stage version.

The Pentagon announced on September 20 that it would be sending hundreds of troopsto Saudi Arabia after attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities. The attacks, which took place on September 14, “knocked out more than half of the [oil] output from the world's top exporter – five percent of the global oil supply,” according to Al Jazeera.

While Washington and Riyadh have provided little evidence that Iran is behind such an attack (Saudi Arabia even admitted the evidence provided to them via U.S. intelligence “wasn’t definitive”) the United States, France, Germany and the United Kingdom have all deemed Iran to be the culprit.
