Derek Chauvin Found Guilty

 On all three counts.


As others talk about/react to this, I had one thought that I didn't see elsewhere: things happen for a reason.

See Keith Ellison is currently the AG for Minnesota. Before his current job but after his stint as a congressman, Ellison had a shot of being the DNC Chair. The Establishment Democrats had other plans, and Ellison had to settle for the position of Deputy Chair...which didn't mean much in terms of influencing policy.

I remember seeing Ellison in that role and thinking how his talents were being wasted. He should have been the Chair, leading the DNC into a more progressive era!

I realize now how short-sighted (and selfish) I was. Ellison needed to be there in order to get him back to Minnesota State politics, so he could become AG and help design a case to convict someone who at at the very least, demonstratively abused his power, and who at the most committed outright murder. I don't think anyone of the Tom Perez mold of Democrat would have done so. 

Now that I think about it, 50 Keith Ellisons acting as AG around the country is worth one being DNC Chair. 


P.S. Also, please remember that his divorce from his wife before the trial was a way for her to have access to his assets.

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...
