Political Silliness

I guess I’ll never understand those silly people who vote for somebody for president BECAUSE they are gay, or tall, or black, or female, or Catholic, or a heterosexual male with orange hair. I sincerely doubt if any of these attributes guarantees stellar performance once in office.

Would you choose your brain surgeon only because she was a transgender Mormon?

Sexual Tension

Diane and Sam

Recently, the battle of the sexes has again taken center stage with the #MeToo  tsunami and the second March of the (anti-Trump) Pussy Hats. It does appear that women have the tempo advantage in this convoluted eternal conflict ... except for the Grammys where only one woman won a major  little gramophone statue.

But now women are worried that these wins are costing them in that men are increasingly unlikely to go to dinner or on a business trip with a female associate. Feminist are perplexed that they might be losing because they are winning. It is still a boy's club world and, until women can change their anatomy, they never will be fully satisfied with the score board tally.

Like the sexual tension in  that TV classic "Cheers" both genders are flawed to the point of humor. But the battle goes on to some ultimate winner. Which might that be? My money is on the females ... particularly since men's role in procreation will no longer be necessary ... not too far off. (This is when Sam will start drinking again.)

Income Inequality

In what industry do women earn much more money than men? Not surprisingly, it is the pornography industry ... see: Daily Mail Story. I suppose this has something to do with naked women having more commercial appeal than naked men. This article also points out that many of the actors in this medium, who perform as male homosexuals, are surprisingly heterosexuals. I have never ventured into this male-only cinema genre, but I have suspected that this is indeed the case with "gay" females ... not that there is anything wrong with that.

Can we also extrapolate this income differential into the high-fashion modeling business?  I suspect that this is also true. The top female model, Gisele Bundchen, certainly makes a pile more lucre than even her famous sports-star husband, Tom Brady ... see: ESPN Story. So, can we then say that income inequality is "relative?"

And there are at least 15 other industry sectors where women out-earn men ... see: Forbes Article. Can we now expect Mika Brzezinski to modify her periodic Morning Joe mouth-foaming rants against income inequality? I kinda doubt it ... for I suspect this has more to do with what Joe Scarborough earns next to what she makes.

In the Hole!

Watching the Masters Golf Tournament today, I am again reminded how annoyed I get by those dunderheads in the crowd who are constantly shouting, "In the hole!" after every putt or short drive by the front-runners ... sometimes, even after their drives on par 4 holes. How utterly stupid! It's as though such post-shot encouragements might make a real difference in the trajectory of the shot or putt.

This inanity is equivalent to such dweebs parking on the line between two parking spaces or zipping down the breakdown lane during traffic tie-ups. Interestingly enough, I don't think I have ever heard a female make such a horse's ass out of herself. Perhaps polite decorum is built into the female psyche? Whereas grandstanding must come with almost every set of testicles?
