Hindsight Will Truly Be "2020"

 Notes/Comments/Opinions on American Politics as We Enter the Endgame:

  • Everyone who is praising Kamala Harris is talking about who she is (a WOC, a former prosecutor, a Senator) and saying very little about what she has done. I may be in the minority here, but shouldn't the 2nd most powerful person in the country be evaluated on their accomplishments and their policies? 
  • Joe Biden needs to do two things to convince enough people to vote him into office: (1) make it through at least one debate looking like a competent politician, and (2) control his temper. I'm not confident that he can do either.
  • The GOP claiming that Biden and Harris -who crossed political swords with Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard, respectively- are being controlled by the "Radical Left" is laughable to anyone who watched the Democratic Primary. Neither Biden nor Harris support Medicare For All. Neither Biden nor Harris have plans to change the nature of criminal justice system (especially policing). Neither Biden nor Harris have shown that they will end the current wars we're in. 
  • Those who represent the Left in American politics are the biggest losers of 2020 politics. There have been a few noticeable victories (Cori Bush comes to mind). However:
  • President Donald Trump is taking a sledge hammer to the Postal Service. Yes; it is amount to rigging. Yes; it hurts the military and jobs. Yes; it's odd that the Democrats aren't attacking Trump about this with the same fervor they did during RussiaGate (or Tik Tok). 
  • Breonna Taylor's murders are still free. We're still in about seven wars/conflicts. Flint, Michigan still does not have clean water. There are companies still classified as "too big to fail." Because of the Electoral College, in the last six presidential elections the winner of the popular vote did not become president. "Essential workers" can't earn $15/hour. Whistle-blowers are treated ore harshly then the criminals they expose. Children are being forced to go to crowded schools in the middle of a pandemic. By rejecting Net Neutrality, the FCC has allowed ISPs to price gauge customers and punish streaming services that they don't like. WHO'S GONNA FIX ALL OF THIS?

Five Actresses Who Should Be Considered For A Wonder Woman Movie

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
