| NEW YORK—If Albanian television had shown the program CBS showed last week—with a woman who has sex on camera for a living describing how she had unprotected BingBing with The Donald—I think even Albanians would feel so diminished they’d move to Kosovo. But this is America, and it’s a woman’s, woman’s, woman’s world! Or perhaps a frontal lobe is missing. The reverential coverage afforded to a porn actress by Anderson—kiss me—Cooper was at its zenith. His smoldering gaze of restraint in not bringing up anal sex was touching, as was his phony squint of chagrin that no protection was used. (Anderson Cooper is good at talking about such matters as protection. He knows all about it.) See what I mean about moving to Kosovo? But this is America, not Albania, the Home of the Depraved. Newspapers and TV have all become sacred spaces of the sisterhood, no ifs or buts about it, as they used to say in the Bronx. My hero H.L. Mencken said something quite different, but that was some time ago: “Love is the delusion that one woman differs from another.” Mencken also quipped that “When women kiss it always reminds one of prizefighters touching gloves.” Great stuff, isn’t it? But I hate to think what these female versions of Vlad the Impaler who are in the news would do to Mencken if he were around today. Never mind. The avenging warriors may be weasel-brained and look like four-eyed turds, but they’ve got the major news outlets and all the big-city populations behind them. In an editorial, the Big Bagel Times thundered: “We live at a time when a porn star displays more credibility and class than a president.” Well, that’s because the Bagel Times prefers someone who has sex in front of a camera for money over The Donald, who I admit has never been accused of having class, except he has a bit more than The New York Times. The paper can no longer be taken seriously, its animus against anyone white, heterosexual, and Christian so pronounced, it makes some of us who are still all three of the above feel like Jews in Germany circa 1936. Again, never mind. Somewhere in the middle of all the shouting, the Weinsteining of all men, natural law is taking a back seat. Natural law can trace its lineage to the Greeks, Plato and Aristotle, and then to Cicero and on down the line to Montesquieu and Burke. Natural law clashed with natural rights during the French Revolution, and I think the two are clashing once again now that the sisterhood has taken over the American media. I hope there will be a reaction to all this, but for the moment it is all one-sided. More at the link |

| #2 Both the NYTs and CNN have ceased to be serious journalistic media. Toss in WAPO too. The left owns the MSM. Probably best to tear down much of the MSM and start over since most of is propaganda. |
