    I'm inclined to the view that politicians lie because voters like hearing the lies!
That is their strategy - lie till it hurts. Them not us.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I guess the only honest politician is the one who admits to lying!

    Where's all the good news? At least the football went well.
    Try not to get too stressed. It's easier said than done in this day and age though.
Your football team is doing well; my football team after a very bright start is floundering now!

On the mend yes, but I'm not sure we ever get mended!

    The world in it's "horribleness" has finally been exposed. Weinstein is as bad, if not worse, than Cosby. Hopefully it ends soon. Wonder how many more closets are going to open to entertain the masses. I am sick of the news no matter the sector it covers
I think a lot of men's closets are going to be opened quite rightfully after the Weinstein revelations - Kevin Spacey's closet and a few politicians' closets are being laid bare here.

    We had a 2 term sexual predator for a prez already. It's nothing new.
Though nothing new, sexual predation, and I'm not talking about sexual advances and passes here, needs to be exposed.
Thanks for stopping by.

    You have been missed my dear friend. I was wondering what happened to you. I hope your feeling better and soon. Hugs V
I'm struggling to get back into blogland because of the sea of yellow confronting me. Blogland needs commitment!

I want the bottom to hit back hard against the top. Massive inequality is bad, whether within a country or globally. We're all human beings who have to survive.

    Well, I hope you are feeling better. Being knocked out like that sucks. And their response to you sucked. I had a great , responsible work history with the military (my opinion ). After retirement, I did work for a corporation for seven years. I seldom withheld my opinions towards the Management jerks. I had a simple way of work. I did my job to the best of my abilities. When they laid a person off as a cost savings measure and assigned that persons work to me without added compensation, I took a simple approach. I told them to "piss off". Since it was a contract for a Government project, that was illegal for them to do, so they backed off. Of course I documented their attempt. I had no career intent, it was simply a job to me to be done to the best of my abilities. That confused the hell out of them. I wish others had the same opportunities , maybe it would squash the jerks
I suspect we share the same opinion about management!

The news generally is depressing but I'm a news junkie so I keep listening and watching the news even though I can't affect what's happening. Perhaps I should stop but I feel I'm opting out if I do that.

    It's not a great time to come down with something and get stuck with nothing to do but look at media. -- I'm sure you would forgive yourself easier for falling under the weather during the Tour de France.

    I think it's ok to still like Pulp Fiction. His name has touched so many things. - Those who worked with him are just starting to speak up, most with remorse; and a few are even giving residuals to women's charities.

    I just want to stick my head in the sand. The levels of tragedy in the world are very high. .. Not that this is anything new, but the level of awareness has increased dramatically.

    I could ramble, but this is just a comment. . Puerto Rico is on my mind, but there are even worse islands to be stranded on.
I would love to be ill when the Tour de France so I can watch every stage while being paid!
The world of work is changing rapidly - casualisation, zero-hours contracts, turning employees into suppliers, reliocation of jobs from one county to another country, etc, all in the name of profit.
As workers, we have to deal with this but then the robots will come along to take people's jobs. Those who control the robots will be fine but those made unemployed by robots won't be fine. This is capitalism; there has to be a better way!

    I was really hoping to see a pic of Angela Merkel, to represent a woman in power. (There are many. She was just the first that came to my mind.)

    But instead, there are two predators. .. Maybe add Jimmy Savile to the lineup. .. All three fell in disgrace. (But Savile died before he was publicly humiliated.) .. All these scandals. Each similar yet different.

    ---

    I do hope that something good can come from all of this new awareness.
Angela Merkel is now struggling to remain in power, which is a shame as she is probably one of the few politicians (along with the Chinese premier) who can stand up to Trump.

Gary Glitter is a no-no nowadays. I loved Rock and Roll but it's never played now. I guess it's a bit like, albeit writ small, the Nazi experiments on the Jewish concentration camps and the findings they reported have been used by the West. Ethics matter but only to a point.

    Given that Pulp Fiction is my favourite ever film, should I still like the film given that Harvey Weinstein was the film's producer?

    Yes...because the writers, director, and actors still rocked!
Thank you, Pulp Fiction is a great film!

    I'm not uglier than Harvey but I have a lot less success than him, it's true that I'm not a man of power. Well, well, I'm not jealous too much now and I find it much more exciting to never have to force someone.
The Harvey Weinstein case is making men think, or at least think about what they've done in the past, which is good. Most men don't force.
