    “Humor” my ass. This is today’s Liberalism. Depraved, profane, degenerate, lying, hateful. And to ANYONE who says “well I don’t approve of this but I’m still gonna vote for Obama” – you’re only lying to yourself. A vote for Obama IS a vote for this kind of putrid filth.

    I’m afraid your ass, infidel4life, is more than any of us can stand. I’ll take words from the Greatest Generation over yours or your ilk any day. Let us repeat: If you or your lying brethren try to steal another election we WILL burn this motherfucker down!!!

    Bring it fool. We’re ready. But I doubt you have the guts to even venture out of mommy’s basement.

  4. Sandy says:

    That’s one of the (many) reasons I love being a Democrat. We actually HAVE a sense of humor. Lighten up infidel4life (oh, and clean the spittle off your face from spewing hatred. You look a bit….hmmm…deranged).

  5. Paula says:

    No worries, infidel4life, I’m one of the seniors with the sense of humor you lack. You sound very familiar with “mommy’s basement”. Time to climb up out of there and face the music. The ONLY way Romney can win is by cheating and stealing. Too many African Americans, women, Latinas/Latinos, LBGTs and…oh yeah…PEOPLE who hate his lies and mean spirit. Wait until you see the next four years of a POTUS who actually wants to serve America and not have America serve him. See you again in 2016 when Hillary gets her eight years!!! Oh I love this country!!!!!!!

    This video is the funniest one I’ve seen about election so far.
    What’s even funnier is how Mitt Romney supporters get so butt hurt over it. Ha!

  7. Angel says:

    I voted for Mitt, and I found it funny.. and I know quite a few people from that generation.. they arent all saints.. nor republicans LOL

    In some extreme cases, the casting the vote can be a seven (7) hours waiting in line – extremely low service level? Too bad that there are no laws to set thhresholds on how efficient the voting process in USA must be to match the “#1 democracy” phrase often repeated on TV — shame on you whatever youer name is. As the 97 year old lady explains, she was liberated from disenfranchisement of womens vote. Those who can count years backwards, can also easily figure out that the 85 year old negro woman has endured a fair share of racial segragation laws, living in the United states (without arrest by police?) until rescinded 1954. Strong language such as threats of larceny or battery could be interpreted illegal in the strict sense of law — however the point is that these women have got a lot of BS from elected presidents, senators, congress members to deal with during their lifetime. True democracy is a virtue, where as the lack thereof is where we stand nowadays. The congress needs more ordinary people, to represent all the people in united states, that are not fortunate enough to fit the happy millioneers club. Putting dissidents in jail or prison, or with legal instruments strip them from voting or work privileges has always been the way of the ruling elite to preserve the current ways. Sometimes you need that 97 year old lady, that is too decent to be arrested and jailed, to prove the point. The lady which potential future martyrdom will also add her to the list of female Saints of the history. Film maker Michael Moore is a true patriot.

It shows how out of it I was in trying to be in it, acknowledging that I was out of it to myself, and then thinking, “Okay, how do I stop being out of it? Well, I get some legitimate illogical narrative ideas” — some novel, you know?

So I decided on three writers that I might be able to option their material and get some producer, or myself as producer, and then get some writer to do a screenplay on it, and maybe make a movie.

And so the three projects were “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,” “Naked Lunch” and a collection of Bukowski. Which, in 1975, forget it — I mean, that was nuts. Hollywood would not touch any of that, but I was looking for something commercial, and I thought that all of these things were coming.

There would be no Blade Runner if there was no Ray Bradbury. I couldn’t find Philip K. Dick. His agent didn’t even know where he was. And so I gave up.

I was walking down the street and I ran into Bradbury — he directed a play that I was going to do as an actor, so we know each other, but he yelled “hi” — and I’d forgot who he was.

So at my girlfriend Barbara Hershey’s urging — I was with her at that moment — she said, “Talk to him! That guy really wants to talk to you,” and I said “No, fuck him,” and keep walking.

But then I did, and then I realized who it was, and I thought, “Wait, he’s in that realm, maybe he knows Philip K. Dick.” I said, “You know a guy named—” “Yeah, sure — you want his phone number?”

My friend paid my rent for a year while I wrote, because it turned out we couldn’t get a writer. My friends kept on me about, well, if you can’t get a writer, then you write.”

“That was the most disappointing thing to me in how this thing was played. Is that I’m on the phone with you now, after all that’s been said, and the fundamental distinction between what James is dealing with in these other cases is not actually brought to the fore. The fundamental difference is that James Franco didn’t seek to use his position to have sex with anyone. There’s not a case of that. He wasn’t using his position or status to try to solicit a sexual favor from anyone. If he had — if that were what the accusation involved — the show would not have gone on. We would have folded up shop and we would have not completed the show. Because then it would have been the same as Harvey Weinstein, or Les Moonves, or any of these cases that are fundamental to this new paradigm. Did you not notice that? Why did you not notice that? Is that not something notable to say, journalistically? Because nobody could find the voice to say it. I’m not just being rhetorical. Why is it that you and the other critics, none of you could find the voice to say, “You know, it’s not this, it’s that”? Because — let me go on and speak further to this. If you go back to the L.A. Times piece, that’s what it lacked. That’s what they were not able to deliver. The one example in the five that involved an issue of a sexual act was between James and a woman he was dating, who he was not working with. There was no professional dynamic in any capacity.
