Ethel Rohan, author of ‘Out of Dublin’ on Curt Rude's writing. "Overall, great writing style. Reminds me of Rushdie: internal, emotionally complicated, and dualistic. Delivered with a sensitivity and awareness that is underrated. In one word his work is Awesome!"

Support for Caroline Flack - Not
So lets see here. Caroline Flack hangs herself after she was fired from a show (Love Island) she hosted. Apparently the prosecutor was going after her for assaulting her boyfriend who had stated he wouldn't cooperate with investigation. ITV which produces the show, fired Caroline, from her life's work. What gets me is when ITV straight-up and lies about how much they supported her. Really? By firing her. Here's to hoping there is a special Wing in Hell for liars.

Oh C'mon Man
There are Butterflies in Borneo larger than Owls. Not big Owls, but still larger. Think 'bout that for a minute. You ever around a person who talks a lot but doesn't say anything? What's rounder? an orange?

I love it when People are Passionate and Fearless. Timing is everything however. Wouldn't it be ideal if folks would become Agents of Change before Life-changing events?

It is well that war is so terrible – otherwise we would grow too fond of it.
Robert E. Lee
It is imperative that realistic depictions of war are shared - least we dwell in the danger-zone of ignorance.

Kobe was Not a Rapist
Innocent until proven guilty in a Court of Law.
The 60-year-old, who is the granddaughter of Roy O. Disney — a cofounder of the Walt Disney Company — had in a tweet January 29 shared an op-ed from the Washington Post about allegations Bryant faced some 17 years ago, writing "The man was a rapist. Deal with it."

Response
This response was left the other day. First of all thanks go out to you for sharing. The point here, is that you are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. All this acting and condemning is not fair in any sense to Kobe or anyone ever been bullied like this. The second paragraph are the concerns expressed by a family who lost one of its own.
people have to put the foot down for bad behavior
"As to those who contend that Mr. Dulos' death reflects a consciousness of guilt, we say 'no,' we say it was more a conscience overworn with the weight of a world that was too busy to listen and that wanted a story more than it wanted the truth. We're not bitter and we're not accusing anyone of having driven him to his death, we wonder why -- in the court of public opinion -- the presumption of innocence was so quickly satisfied."

How do the 'Animation Is Film Festival' Organizers feel Now?
Innocent until Proven Guilty in a Court of Law. I mean all charges were dropped against Kobe. We know he did some amazing things in his life. This included being a 'Girl Dad' and Inspiration to women around the world. Being found guilty in the Court of Public Opinion was certainly not one of them. How can people turn on the Faucet of Hate and cling to that Glass of Vile Intentions?
Yet in 2018, just seven months after he won an Academy Award for best animated short film, Bryant was dropped from the jury of a film festival.
“This is an urgent time to say NO to toxic and violent behavior against women,” read a petition urging organizers of the Animation Is Film Festival to dissociate themselves from Bryant.

Funny Fictional Moment
brought to you by Matthew McConaughey. He's doing a commercial for Lincoln Navigator. He drills a tiny hole for the size of hook he's ice fishing with. No worries, he forgot to bait the hook. Then he returns to his Navigator to whistle the theme from The Andy Griffith Show. Once the flag pops up I'd have loved to seen him scoot across the ice, in the no lug boots he's wearing, but the commercial ends. Life is so unfair at times.

Richard Milhous Nixon
When faced with Watergate charges, President Nixon stated . . . "When the president does it, that means it's not illegal." Alrighty then.

Bomb's Away
It took a team of geniuses to build the atomic bomb. Idiots weren't sought out to add to this team. Nope. Just smart folks needed to apply. You see, it takes a genius to get the job done right and blow the world up.
