Ned Lamont's Pro-Choice Stance Reminds US That Democrats Could Have Resolved Abortion Years Ago.

By

 Three days after the Supreme Court reverses Roe v Wade and with an election on the horizon, CT Governor Ned Lamont airs an ad saying that he will defend a woman's right to chose.

The is admittedly better than what Democrats in DC have been doing (aka, fundraising), but let's not forget some things:

  1. When current President Joe Biden was a Senator, he lead the charge against the testimony of Anita Hill and as a result cleared the way for Clarence Thomas to become a Supreme Court Justice.
  2. Three of the Justices who ruled to overturn Roe v Wade were nominated by US presidents (GW Bush and Donald Trump) who did not win the popular vote (and in Bush's case, won the Electoral College due to the Supreme Court's ruling). 
  3. Barack Obama did not push back against then-Senate leader Mitch McConnell when there was a vacancy late in Obama's term (hoping to use the issue as a way to boost support for Hillary Clinton's run for office). This same Mitch McConnell would have the opposite approach to filling seats when a vacancy occurred during Trump's time in office.
  4. For those who believe that America's capitalistic society needs more workers to counter the falling birth rate or that America's eventual shift to having more people of color as a majority is a problem, then the ruling also has economic and racial undertones. 


 Oh, and because some people are visual learners:

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

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
