Oh, Sister Brazile. (sigh) Forgive me, Lord, but I'm takin' this one to the cross. Take this tip from the son of a church lady: don't EVER put other people's bidness out in the street unless you've got it verified. Because the only thing worse than a gossip...? Is a gossip who got it wrong.

To be fair, there's infighting going on within the Democratic Party as well. (If we didn't know that before the likes of Bernie Sanders came upon the scene, we certainly know it now.) But I think the Democratic Party will weather the storm, so to speak, because, at the end of the day, they are built on core values that pulls us through the worst of times (such as these). I don't believe any could say the same about the GOP of today. "I'm gobsmacked," said no one. More like "welcomed back to Planet Earth."

It's kind of like what Will said recently on "Will & Grace": the minute the LGBT community forgets how far they have come, that's the minute it all could be taken away. Trump Nation has proven that they're beyond the pale when it comes to things like morality. So, no, I DON'T expect voters to "send a message" to the GOP by not voting for Moore. Like you said, Carl: if anything, they'll probably believe Moore's assertion that this is just a smear campaign being orchestrated by the leftist media and come out even stronger for him. But that's okay. They showed me a long time ago who they really were; and in the end, that's all I ask. To me, the concept of being innocent until proven guilty in this country is about the biggest joke ever, if only because that's invoked too often to shield individuals who are almost always 1) White and 2) male. A White man is accused of raping and/or molesting a woman or underaged girl -- "but maybe she's lying." A White man is arrested for gunning down and killing a Black (or other non-White) male -- "but maybe that Black guy said or did something to make him feel threatened." OTOH, let it be a Black man -- or again, any other, non-White man -- who is accused of similar crimes, and suddenly, being innocent until proven guilty isn't even an option. Nope. If they're Black, or Asian, or Hispanic, or whatever, they're automatically guilty. And not just guilty, but guilty as hell. So, no, creeps like Roy Moore don't get the luxury of being innocent until proven guilty. Not from me, anyway.

I don't read Stephen King's books because, quite frankly, they scare the [!@#$%^&*] out of me. Nevertheless, I think he is one amazing guy. Yup. I'm with @marceline and with @Eric83. I almost WANT Moore to win. It would serve the GOP right after all the terrible things they've said and felt about homosexuality. (Could I just say again how SUPER proud I am of the LGBT community these days? When Kevin Spacey released his ridiculously self-serving public "apology," I was so sure GLAAD and other organizations were going to rally behind him. Instead, they proved THIS cynic and misanthrope wrong, and condemned him for using his coming out as a shield to hide behind allegations of pedophilia. In the process, the LGBT community proved, once and for all, that they possess WAY more morals than these folks from the GOP who rally now behind Roy Moore.)

I cannot keep up anymore with all who have been outed as sexual predators. It is just too overwhelming.

I could just see Carter's or Stephen's mother breaking down in front of Mueller and/or his investigators, let's say, and admitting she was forced to give up one of her sons because her husband refused to raise another man's kid. And her story unfolds as Carter and Stephen look on in horror.

I'm telling you, this black cloud we've been living under for the past two years will persist until that man is out of the WH.

To be perfect and frank, as funny as I found Louis C.K. at times, something about him still rubbed me the wrong way (no pun intended). So, I'm not TOO stunned by these allegations. But I am sad once more about how pervasive this cavalier attitude toward women has been throughout the film industry in particular.

Another one steps forward with allegations that that Ed Westwick person raped her: http://deadline.com/2017/11/ed-westwick-second-accuser-sexual-assault-claim-1202204751/

It is, and it's equally disheartening to realize that nothing -- and I mean nothing -- will turn them around in their thinking. Even if they have realized that Trump is a liar who will not follow through on any of his empty promises, they are prepared to walk hand-in-hand with him into the abyss, because they believe he is their last best chance. It's sad, because, one way or the other, like it or not, the world IS changing and it WILL leave them behind. But...they're lost causes.

If they market this last-minute switch right, then they could stand to make a proverbial killing at the box office just on the controversy alone. Meanwhile, Kev's new manager at Inn-N-Out Burger is training him on the soft-serve machine. For God's sake, Hollywood! In what universe is Kevin Spacey a bigger name than Christopher [!@#$%^&*] Plummer? In my wildest dream, this film not only premieres to boffo reviews and box office, but Plummer lands another Oscar (or at least a nomination) as well. I want the latter to happen, if only to hear what Plummer would have to say if/when he makes his way to the podium to accept his award.

Well, there goes my enjoyment of all episodes of "Murder, She Wrote" featuring Knepper.

For some reason, I have the most difficult time mustering sympathy for people who refer to the NFL and to the players who "take a knee" as "N*****s for Life."

I'm not particularly fond of CNN, but I can see what the DOJ is doing here, and I think it's dirty. I'm VERY worried that AT&T will sell off CNN, because, as always, money talks and talks loudest.

I guess Michelle Obama was right: when they go low, you go high.

You certainly did. Damn. Even I, the misanthrope, am having a hard time with the "damned human race" these days. All these allegations about all these monsters is showing me a side of human nature I NEVER enjoy seeing.

Wow. Heather Unruh. Hearing that name takes me back, lol. (She was an anchor here, at our NBC affiliate, a few eons ago.)

On the one hand, it makes sense. Democrats know Black women will not vote Republican (especially now, after Charlottesville). However, what they might fail to realize is that Black women could still vote third-party or just plain stay home. I still save money by buying my regular prescription drugs at Sam's Club. However, for the past year, I've stressed a tad more than usual about developing a disease that would require medical tests or lengthy hospital stays.

That doesn't surprise me, or that guns was number two. At the end of the day, all the dog whistles over "issues" like whether one should stand up for or salute the flag are just that: dog whistles.

Apropos of nothing, but I will have medical insurance again in 2018 -- and with a $0 monthly premium. And all I had to do was promise to file an income tax return for the 2018 year.

In that case...maybe a secret homosexual relationship gone bad? I'm kidding.

Dear. God. You'd think Harvey Weinstein was a politician, not a film producer. AFAIC, castration ain't good enough for men like Kevin Spacey.

And I can't blame him. Moments of silence won't fix what's so obviously wrong here. Welp. Somebody had to say it.

Pardon the language, Maureen O'Hara was one ballsy woman. She didn't take any guff from anyone.

I think so.
