So...(The Political Requiem)

Suffice it to say, there's been a lot of conversation about Joe Biden's decision. Here's my take:


  • The Duran is correct that this is a coup. Biden did not want to leave and by the standards/system set up by the Democratic Party, he was well within his rights to stay. The American mainstream media, suddenly concerned Democrats, and panicked donors (the biggest factor here) forced him out. 
  • That said, the DNC did make an argument in court that they can choose their nominee with voter's consent/input. Also, since Biden hasn't officially been assigned (and accepted) the delegates, lawsuits on Biden's behalf will probably go nowhere. 
  • The DNC should have held real primaries and therefore avoided all this.
  • Biden should have kept his initial word of being a one-termer.
  • Biden's inner circle (who were most likely making a lot of his decisions up until now) should be investigated; we'll probably learn more once he officially leaves office.
  • Biden is still POTUS; so he's not well enough to run for four more year but he's able to serve for six more months?
  • Remember: it was Democratic centrists and moderates (Adam Schiff, Joe Manchin) calling for Biden to drop out while progressives (AOC, Bernie Sanders) were supporting him full throttle. 
  • Watching Democrats try to make Harris likable will be entertaining.
  • Jill Stein of the Green Party is still a viable option for voters.

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...
