The purging of the ranks of straight white liberal males continues. From the New York Times:
Minnesota Public Radio Drops Garrison Keillor Over Allegations of Improper Conduct
By MAYA SALAM NOV. 29, 2017Minnesota Public Radio said Wednesday that it was severing all business ties with Garrison Keillor, the creator and retired host of “A Prairie Home Companion,” after allegations of “inappropriate behavior with an individual who worked with him.”
Over four decades, Mr. Keillor, 75, had created a financial juggernaut for the radio network with his weekly broadcast of songs, skits and tales of his fictional hometown Lake Wobegon, along with related books, recordings and other products.
In a statement he provided to The New York Times, Mr. Keillor said, “I’ve been fired over a story that I think is more interesting and more complicated than the version MPR heard. Most stories are.”
Here’s Dennis Dale on how we’re this close to airbrushing men out of old photos.
Some old iSteve content on Keillor:
Keillor’s self-projection of his own insecurities about New York onto Trump (of all people)
Keillor’s justly popular trashing of Bernard Henri-Levy’s book about America
My review of the Prairie Home Companion movie directed by Robert Altman.

Are all these dominos falling because Hillary lost the election?
This guy always seemed creepy to me and what we now know about NPR ( Michael Oreskes, Charlie Rose) it was a playground for creeps who thrived there until now.
They’re also purging relatively unknown, backstage talent as well:

The best li’l whorehouse in Lake Wobegon.
Actually, Garrison, perhaps most other people’s stories are more interesting and complicated than the published versions, but the stories that comprised your essentially-autobiographical novels were less interesting and complicated than you made them appear.
Although Keillor was talented, he staked off a couple of small and strictly-bounded plots of ground and worked them over relentlessly in his novels and Prairie Home Companion.
In any case, I can’t suppress my schadenfreude over this latest MeToo revelation. Keillor pretty much defines ‘creepy-ass’ (TM), and he’s arrogant and condescending to go along with it.
Amazing
Every MeToo case that’s sticking features physiognomy mismatch. In a feminist age, many talented beta males rise to positions of influence. They pull some hotties, despite their creepy beta looks and creepy beta behavior. But when the hotties become older, colder and bitter, they regret what they gave up to those betas and cry “me too.”
This is glorious to watch.
Garrison Keillor? For Chrissake! The “sexual harassment” phrase is distorting what’s actually going on here. With Harvey Weinstein, we’re looking at behavior that seems to me clearly criminally and civilly actionable. Those Al Franken photos just look like an adolescent slob acting out in an old man’s body. (Not sure about the testimony, though, which I don’t think has reached any investigative body other than mass media playing the inquisitor for a titillated public.) But Garrison Keillor’s offense?
Barely a few days ago, I was half-inclined to take the accusers pretty seriously, despite the lack of criminal complaint or civil action at the time of the alleged offense. Now I’m baffled. The employers’ behavior really stinks like opportunistic discharge or termination of contract of high-priced help.
FWIW: I made a wisecrack today that our local state university’s trustees held an emergency meeting to discharge all its wankers and gropers. The idea was scratched by noon when it sunk in they’d have no one to teach classes then.
This is great. Matt Lauer, this one, Franken, etc. All of these were very anti-Trump. Once again they are being hoisted on their own petards by their undies – atomic wedgies.
No one seems to see that ever since Trump met Melania he’s been a one-woman man. I recall some guy who works with Glen Beck making unkind comments about a younger woman “selling” herself to a richer man and how she has to “work” for this rich man. I knew it was a jibe against Trump. The Democrats, MSM, never-Trumpers are going insane. This is so much fun.
And then there was… I dunno, how many are left?
“The purging of the ranks of straight white liberal males continues”
Oh, tbey’re gettin’ some homos and coloreds too
“The purging of the ranks of straight white liberal males continues.”
Any theory as what the end game is with this? I have my own, just curious to hear other PsOV.
If this continues, soon enough the purged one will be able to open their own TV network. White men only, no women allowed – for their own safety.
But when it gets to "he made a pass at me" or "he made a suggestive joke" or now "he put his hand on my bare back" we're off into territory where the only real protection is either a learned "turn into a sexless automaton when a woman enters the room" or ... segregation.
The players are always going play--that's what they do. But you can bet that there's a good number of men, either whose romantic/sex lives are in fine shape outside the work environment or who just make the cost/benefit calculation, who will simply avoid interacting with female employees. Don't be friends with them, joke with them, eat with them. Don't be alone with them. Don't mentor them. Don't manage them. Just don't hire them!
Waydaminit.

Did you read Spandrell’s Biological Leninism post?
He posits that we are ruled by the incompetent who maintain their position only due to being legitimised by the ruling narrative. This makes them loyal to the state which supports and is supported by said narrative as they know if the narrative falls so do they. But those rascally white men, even those who have been supportive to the narrative, can never be so trusted. They are competent enough to do just fine even without the narrative. And so must be purged.
I talk about this in a blog post that might, or might not, be of interest to some.
Yeah, I tried reading one of his books and it was boring. But on the radio, I always liked him. He’s a great storyteller, and his skits — the pretend cowboy, Cafe Boeuf, etc — are great.
I realized about fifteen years ago that he was an idiot on politics, but I’ve managed to ignore that part because he mostly kept his politics out of his act.
I’ve got to say, at least to hear Keillor tell it, what he’s alleged to have done is a pretty lame reason to get into trouble, though who knows if there’s more and he’s merely minimizing?
I suppose he wouldn’t be invalidating any stereotypes or aspects of his public persona if touching a bare back is considered racy.
This comment on another post on this blog made me think:
Perhaps #MeToo will be the go-to catch-all excuse to get rid of any old male employee or colleague who is past his prime without having to worry about a buy-out, severance, or parting shots. Wouldn’t surprise me. How hard can it really be over a long career to find some female co-worker who was “made uncomfortable” at some point by some thing?
I have a difficulty visualizing geometry and mechanics of it. Where was his hand first? How long/short was her shirt? Wast the shirt buttoned on the back?
Other thing: how long ago was it that it surfaced now? Any connection to his defense of Franken?Replies: @whorefinder
We also can't forget that jealousy and career-back-stabbing come into play. Ann Curry got axed because Lauer didn't like her---was this some revenge by her or one of her friends? Was she a victim of Lauer's who didn't play ball?
At this point, if you're in corporate media or Hollywood and you've got a big name star who isn't producing, leaking some sexual harassment stuff on them might be a great way to rid you of them. And they all do. No man gets into a position of power and fame like these losers and doesn't have at least one slip up where he tries to bed a woman and things go awry.
The fun just doesn’t stop! More please!!
Here’s one I didn’t realize for some reason: “[Matt] Lauer’s father was of Romanian Jewish ancestry.”
Lol! Anudda one.
Keillor gets to go into the “see, Goys do it too” pile.

Biden and especially Franken, they are to be spared. Franken, his is delicate, Keith Ellison wants Franken's seat. So far, the ADL and Senate Republicans and Democrats intend to tolerate the imposition of Franken on the rest of them, same for in The House with Conyers, although there is more clamor for Conyers to go. But Franken and Conyers are symbols if they stay while so many others have to go. Jews and Blacks are tough to dislodge. Look for an intern scandal to pop too. Poor, mistreated, abused 18-22 year olds, 6 weeks on the Hill and back to college. Bet there are stories that emerge for the 11pm news sooner than later. Interesting times indeed. They're flushing the men down the drain, the very men who got them their privilege.
Well, that's why he's vice president. Someone has finally discovered what the position is for.

Well if he was all about bashing the Jews it’s funny that he has yet to mention Matt Lauer.
Weinstein was a powerful Hollywood (and yes, Jewish) mogul whose escapades were far more interesting in what they said about a Hollywood than all those that have come out since. Pervs – Killor, Lauer, Spacey, etc. – are a dime a dozen. Using your position atop a major Hollywood studio to hand out stardom based on the granting of sexual favors? That’s a blockbuster.
yeah, just think about all those multitude of corners of the entertainment and culture businessii, where meritocracy is the rule.
Broadcast media/journalism figures seem to be dropping like flies in the wake of the weinstein scandal. Maybe they’re just more replaceable than other types of viagra-bracket power brokers, so its easier to throw them under the bus…
First they came for the cheeseheads of Lake Wobegon,
and I didn’t say nothin’ cause I’m below average ….
Next they came for Nina Totenberg,
and I didn’t care because she was not the hot spinster I’d imagined from listening to her soothing voice on NPR….
as they dragged those two to the van, I texted in another tip to #PERVNADO.
I personally felt that a great deal of Keillor’s shtick was mocking what he considered to be Upper Mid-Western rubes. But the rubes seemed to lap it up, seemingly without taking much offense. Unfortunately maybe they actually were what he mocked.
Even in his recent column defending Al Franken, Keillor struck back at the hysterical statue felling/renaming craze that the PC mafia is embroiled in. A prominent lake in Minneapolis is now being renamed from Calhoun to the unpronounceable Bde Maka Ska.
As far as insufferable liberals, at least Keillor isn't a cookie-cutter clone. He has a writing style with great charm.
“I’ve been fired over a story that I think is more interesting and more complicated than the version MPR heard. Most stories are.”
Is this also a dig against the tales that Keillor has been telling on MPR?
have you noticed that Collin kaepernik’s jewish biological mother (russo) has had a nose job ?
It seems that someone doesn’t want the goyim to find out that she is a jew
i’m willing to bet that the rumor about him being a muslim was spread by the jews (ADL etc) after they found out that kap is a jew under jewish law
my radar was on fire when i saw ruth bader ginsberg attack him to distance her tribe from him
that made me look into it and i noticed the nose job
before the nose job
Colin got his jew nose from her
after the nose job
Racial science has advanced greatly since the '30s, when we had to rely on clues such as nose shape, which can often be misleading. I suggest that you find Colin and insult him to his face. Perhaps call him a dirty Jew-N___ger, something like that. This will cause him to spit at you. You then can wipe up the sputum from you face and send it off for DNA analysis and get a definite answer to this urgent racial question. Please let us know when you get the results.Replies: @Autochthon, @Hunsdon
I thought of something about this whole sex thing.
What if it ends up encouraging women to leave the workforce, as women themselves reject a work environment where they can’t be “sexually harassed” or/and where they can’t trade sex for advancement?
I’m not that familiar with Keillor, although I’ve heard of him (I’m not an American).
But the whole thing seems a bit dangerous to me.
Weinstein was apparently a clear case and it was an open secret.
Why is it spreading like a witch hunt?
Don’t assume this will stop at liberal media and entertainment men.
Is it really fair to very suddenly change the social rules that were the norm for a very long time?
I worked for 35 years without being harassed. None of my friends have complained of it either.
Perhaps these well known men thought they could get away with it, unlike your average guy working in a cubicle (think Dilbert).Replies: @Kylie, @27 year old
In retrospect, it was just after the closing ceremonies of the Sochi Winter Games that the “end of history” era started to end. The Canadian equivalent of NPR, CBC Radio had Jian Ghomeshi go over to Sochi and host their sneering, anti-Russian, pro-LBGTQ2 coverage.
I mention him because he turns out to have been the first politically impeccable male feminist media celebrity to be caught up in this kind of news story; the kind that’s now coming in two and threes some days. That was the first time women in media gathered to cast out one of their supposed male allies. Like the others, he turned out to be a predatory perv. It was rough sex and teddy bears in his case.
It’s interesting how 2014 was the year the ice started to break all over the place both with this stuff and with Pax Americana more broadly. Who could have known we’d end up here? Funny thing is that this ride is far from over. History is back on.

If all it takes now for “sexual harrassment” is a hand on a woman’s back, I don’t see this ending any time soon. Did any of these recent cases end in prosecution? Was there even a crime committed?
Saw Kiellor talk at the Book Review…phlegmatic….appearance:biological mutant America…just like Rachel Maddow…Did Three Mile Island have something to do with this? For a Science Channel show about this….use polychromatic atonal music for the background music…
So that’s why he defended Al Franken in his editorial a few days ago in the Wapo. In that same editorial, he described some slave owner from the early 1800’s as being “as ugly as a mud fence.” Garrison calling someone ugly is like Bill Clinton calling someone sexist. That’s how removed both of them are from reality.

This is crimethink.
National Perv Radio’s Predator Home Companion, where the sexual harassment lawsuits are all above average…
All these guys getting ousted appear to be on the spectrum of difficult-to-work-with and had some humiliating/sexually-tinged demeanor that was an “open secret. Political correctness in the workplace has been around for a long time, which suggests a “rules don’t apply to me” attitude. It’s only now their just deserts are being served.
When you create a “crime” of which virtually everyone is in one way or another guilty, the question upon one’s fall from grace becomes (like in the USSR) not why, but why now. We already had a version of this with the revelation earlier in the 21st century that any amount of alcohol in a chick’s system means she “cannot consent” (even if she did consent).
I simply can’t wait to see what they come up with next. Who needs prolefeed when you’ve got this kind of live entertainment.

Hmm, I think the single most distinguishing characteristic is old males. Boomer trash/values being discarded by the millenials.
This is a generational purge. Other than perhaps a 2d trump term, no baby boomer will ever be president again, their time is over.
That is what is really going on. Just like the greatest generation was over when Clinton came in in 1992, the Baby Boomer generation is over now.
These millenials want that kinder gentler America, if not world, and are determined to make it happen by rooting out the inherited filth at home.
More power to them, it is long past due and is part of that Singer thing about our better angels getting better all the time. The internet, the information superconductor, is accelerating the pace of this improvement of humanity. Never again is it going to be ok to be an odious male in power corrupting women.
Reagan was elected to roll back communism abroad and social degeneration at home. He succeeded brilliantly at the first but failed at the second.
We should all be happy now show some gratitude for the millenials for finally getting that second part done.
BTW, you might want to compliment #MeToo people for standing up for treating ladies with decorum and respect, it is a timeless value.
Remember, I said there was going to be a rebirth of goodness/decency after the Trump election. Not because of it, just because it is a natural part of the sequence. So this is really cool to see play out….

It is a purge. When looking back in 2100 the story will go something like this:
By 2016 Western liberalism got out of control. After achieving total control of culture, media and politics, they dreamt about ever more absurd things. They felt they can change people’s sex lives and other countries’s governments just by talking. They got caught up in cognitive dissonance so massive that they were no longer able to even discuss things. All they wanted was for the ‘others’ (they used worse terms) to be shut down.
Liberals had everything on their side except results. It wasn’t working. Then a number of real and symbolic setbacks occurred, the most important in the Anglo world were Brexit and Trump.
Hillary Clinton’s defeat unravelled liberalism. After a short period of emotional screaming and mindless posturing (‘we will reverse the elections!’, ‘treason‘), the inevitable consequences started for the defeated liberals. They were ruthlessly purged and dismissed. Two main pillars of Hillary liberalism: progressive beta males and radical feminists turned on each. That accelerated the purge.
Ideologies die when they over-reach. It is a purge, enjoy it.
These folks are *firmly* entrenched. It's going to be the hard tedious work of decades--with much better and firmer rhetorical clarity and action than we're getting from any "conservatives" now--to root their noxious poison out. If it gets done at all.
Only if the purge gets out of control and the liberal power structure collapses will we have a reason to celebrate.
Honestly, where are the women to defend these men? How’s about all the ladies with copies of “Fifty Shades of Gray” under their beds. Nowhere to be found. Stalin, thy name is woman! And vice versa!
My dad is going to be devastated. He was a religious listener and when Keillor’s movie came out, despite having not been to a theater in decades, he was there for the opening weekend.
They’re even changing the name of his show that Chris Thile (whom I love, btw) took over! I mean, dadgum! What is it that they think you did, Garrison?
Putting my bias out there: I believe him. I also want to believe him. I just can’t see any impropriety coming from him.
An excuse to play this: Keillor’s replacement, Chris Thile, with his band Punch Brothers doing my favorite modern bluegrass song, “Rye Whiskey”
Well, there’s always Bertha’s Pussy Boutique.
I have determined that sexual harassment is a centipede, I mean how many more shoes can drop?
I don’t know who this guy is . Is this good or what ?
If gay men replace all the straight guys in media, how does this help women and minorities?
Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg is taking classes to appear more human.

I don’t want to be this guy, but if Garrison Keillor successfully sexually assaults you, and you’re neither parapalegic or asleep, was there really nothing you could have done? It probably takes him five minutes to unbutton his fly.
I still say the lede is getting buried, which is what does it portend for our society when entire lifetimes of work of major media figures and creatives are essentially “expunged from the record”? I don’t believe there is an historic precedent. I can’t imagine what kids in their teens make of all this.
Imagine one day, Walter Cronkite announces that he believes we lost the Vietnam name war, and a week later he’s fired for flashing an intern. Imagine Carey Grant caught feeling up young boys, his movies thrown on the perv pile for eternity.

I never liked Keillor.
I saw an interview with him once on Charlie Rose (hah!) and he struck me as pompous, pretentious and arrogant. He’s one of those liberals who talks very slowly to ensure that all his stupid inferiors get the profound wisdom of what he’s saying.
That being said, on the couple of instances that I heard his show on NPR, I did have to admit he had some genuine old-school, 1930s-type radio talent — the ability to rivet the listener with merely a microphone, a monologue and an act.
I don’t know if he’s a perv or not, but he never stuck me as one. I’d be inclined to think that as the sexual harassment witch hunt goes on, there’s going to be some innocent people accused of sorcery, particularly if the accuser has an attorney and sees dollar signs.
Keillor just might be one such victim. There will surely be others.
I watched a Minnesota local broadcast, read Chris Thile's reaction, and scrolled through dozens and dozens on Twitter
https://twitter.com/search?q=garrison&src=typd
There's been sadness, gloating, disappointment in him, and even more gloating, but I couldn't find a *SINGLE* person speak up and wonder if, well, maybe, just maybe, he's innocent? Maybe perhaps listen to his side and consider the fact that he does indeed deny it? He may be lying, but *nobody* is speaking out and saying he may be telling the truth.
The man seldomly dabbled in liberal politics, but it was enough to get hacks happy about his downfall. And the liberal side is weird. You've got many who are "concerned" and "disappointed", but, "Believe the women" and all that, so he's gotta go. And then there are these others who are looking for non-liberal things he did or said in the past and using those to justify to themselves why he's really always been a bad man (and they just didn't realize it) and he needs to go.
Buckle up, this Hysteria still has some more mileage left in it.

Leave the workforce? You mean get married? Children, a home, a husband? Only trading up they do is to marry the richest man if she doesn’t go to work. If she doesn’t work, she must be supported. Maybe we’re about to begin a trend where women leave all this, start marrying younger? But the sexual-harassment model we have in place now is ridiculous. It’s going to wreck every workplace.
Now that the big stars like Garrison Keillor are falling, when will we hear about Wolf Blitzer or Chris Hayes? They must be in the backwaters of the swamp.
Hayes has got that wounded, pussy-whipped demeanor. Probably lives in terror of his wife. Don't think we will here anything from him.

If you’re interested, as you seem to be, in undermining the common perception of abhorrently negative Jewish stereotypes, you time would be far better spent refraining from portraying the role of “cynical self-involved manipulative Jew.” I think it may pay you far more significant dividends in the long run.

I used to listen to Keillor, but get disgusted with him when he came out in full-throated support of Clinton during the Lewinsky scandal. Then it turned out Keillor was a serial adulterer, so of course he’d stick up for Slick Willy.
Keillor has been married three times and had numerous affairs:
To Mary Guntzel, from 1965 to 1976.
To Ulla Skaerved, from 1985 to 1990. Keillor is mildly notorious for having dumped his long-time lover and Prairie Home Companion producer Margaret Moos to marry Ulla. The marriage failed when Keillor had an affair with his Danish language teacher.
His current wife, violinist Jenny Lind Nilsson, from his hometown of Anoka, whom he married in 1995.
BTW, what about George W. Bush, who molested Angela Merkel at a G8 meeting, giving her an unwanted back rub? Can we disgrace him, too?
No matter how you spin it, betrayal is not a virtue.
Don’t care. Let him burn, the piece of commie trash.
The best part about all these purges is that while a few non-lefties are getting swept up, most have been lefties. And many lefties are feeling “pressure to resign” and give up, like Franken and Conyers, or just plain fired without trial, like Matt Lauer. They all were supposed to be better than this, and they acted worse because their politics gave them get out of jail free cards.
Non-lefties simply shrug their shoulders and say, “unless it’s rape or assault, sex harassment is just a dude acting horny and rude and women getting prissy about it.” It’s why Roy Moore is leading in Alabama and Trump is in the White House but Franken has groveled.
Make yourselves anti-fragile, boys.
Related: perhaps feminazis, when they scream about constantly being harassed at work/school/life aren’t being completely delusional, but they just don’t realize that they live/work/study in a bubble. Non-lefty men rarely (if ever) act like this, but in the industries dominated by the left—Corporate media, Hollywood, academia—-horny lefty men act like this all the time, so feminazis think all men/environments are this creepy.
Also related: whenever lefties these days scream about abusive worker conditions and feudal-like job structures, non-lefties are mystified. But in Corporate Media, Hollywood, and Academia, that’s exactly the kind of job structure: 90% of the workers eke by on nothing and live in squalor while being exploited by their bosses, while the top 10% live like decadent princes who do what they like to anyone. Most non-lefty industries aren’t like that.
So I think a major feminism disconnect is that feminists are in industries and places where men do act like horny lecherous pervs and/or force themselves on women as a matter of course, but those industries are actually the exception rather than the rule when it comes to the average american’s life. The feminazi bubble-environment then reinforce the crazy notions of feminists.
I wonder who is coordinating this “witch hunt”?

I remember saying after the election of Trump that the most interesting part was going to be the civil war among the Democrats, but I didn’t expect it to go like this. Rumor has it that the worst of the in-fighting is only beginning.
Since the vast quantity of patronage jobs the liberals expected to gain from a Hillary win didn’t happen, what then? Patronage, bribery, graft and helping your own kind are absolutely central to Democratic politics. It’s the glue that holds the Democratic coalition of the fringes together. It looks like the weaker and younger liberals are conducting an internal purge to destroy the top liberal power-holders in an attempt to seize their jobs.
This is not going to be pretty. Leftist purges never are. Robespierre, Stalin, it’s all a-comin’. It’ll stop when the slots are all filled with a new liberal elite who will turn the purge off once they have their own positions secure.

A favorite Joe Biden quote I heard was right around when Obama was elected in 2008. Joe claimed Obama had offered him either the VP slot or the Sec of State slot, and Joe chose the VP slot.
It was so hilariously unbelievable I never forgot it. The idea that Obama would put a human gaffe machine like Biden in charge of foreign policy was astounding—remember this was not too long after Biden torpedoed his own campaign with the “articulate and clean” comments about Obama. Or the idea that some ambitious pol would not choose the Sec of State spot over the meaningless VP slot—Joe really expects us to believe that.
Biden was a good choice for VP by Obama, however. He was instant assassination insurance, because— no matter how right wing or left wing or how much they hated Obama— nobody wanted a corrupt idiot like Biden as president.

I saw an interview with him once on Charlie Rose (hah!) and he struck me as pompous, pretentious and arrogant. He's one of those liberals who talks very slowly to ensure that all his stupid inferiors get the profound wisdom of what he's saying.
That being said, on the couple of instances that I heard his show on NPR, I did have to admit he had some genuine old-school, 1930s-type radio talent -- the ability to rivet the listener with merely a microphone, a monologue and an act.
I don't know if he's a perv or not, but he never stuck me as one. I'd be inclined to think that as the sexual harassment witch hunt goes on, there's going to be some innocent people accused of sorcery, particularly if the accuser has an attorney and sees dollar signs.
Keillor just might be one such victim. There will surely be others.Replies: @Dahlia
I’m profoundly disturbed by the reactions to these accusations against Garrison Keillor.
I watched a Minnesota local broadcast, read Chris Thile’s reaction, and scrolled through dozens and dozens on Twitter
https://twitter.com/search?q=garrison&src=typd
There’s been sadness, gloating, disappointment in him, and even more gloating, but I couldn’t find a *SINGLE* person speak up and wonder if, well, maybe, just maybe, he’s innocent? Maybe perhaps listen to his side and consider the fact that he does indeed deny it? He may be lying, but *nobody* is speaking out and saying he may be telling the truth.
The man seldomly dabbled in liberal politics, but it was enough to get hacks happy about his downfall. And the liberal side is weird. You’ve got many who are “concerned” and “disappointed”, but, “Believe the women” and all that, so he’s gotta go. And then there are these others who are looking for non-liberal things he did or said in the past and using those to justify to themselves why he’s really always been a bad man (and they just didn’t realize it) and he needs to go.
Buckle up, this Hysteria still has some more mileage left in it. The man is a decades-long institution and yet he’s just being so unceremoniously abandoned and humiliated over one accusation which he claims he’s innocent of. Talk about fair-weather friends.
No quarter for the left, they gave/give no quarter to us. Rapey Garrison should burn.
It is all well and good for a man to apologize if he accidentally touches a woman in a manner that she will reasonably interpret as sexual. But according to him, he did that, years ago, and he says that she accepted his apology.
If that is the case... then he should have defended himself NOW. He should have stood up and said forthrightly that her current accusations were inappropriate. That she is now wrong, and he is now right.
If he speaks the truth about the incident, and apologized, and the woman accepted his apology and thereafter treated him as a friend, then her current accusations deserve condemnation. He is either lying about what happened, or he is acting with cowardice, perhaps supposing that if he slinks away his reputation won't be too harmed. And his reputation probably would be harmed if did the right thing and condemned the accusations. But to act wrongly in order to preserve your reputation is cowardice. Other men will suffer the effects of his cowardice.Replies: @utu, @SteveRogers42

Not a bad thought. Was Weinstein not generating the hits like he used to? Was Charlie Rose a pain at CBS? Was Lauer actually dragging the Today show down, at least in the eyes of some upper-level V.P.?
We also can’t forget that jealousy and career-back-stabbing come into play. Ann Curry got axed because Lauer didn’t like her—was this some revenge by her or one of her friends? Was she a victim of Lauer’s who didn’t play ball?
At this point, if you’re in corporate media or Hollywood and you’ve got a big name star who isn’t producing, leaking some sexual harassment stuff on them might be a great way to rid you of them. And they all do. No man gets into a position of power and fame like these losers and doesn’t have at least one slip up where he tries to bed a woman and things go awry.
They're even changing the name of his show that Chris Thile (whom I love, btw) took over! I mean, dadgum! What is it that they think you did, Garrison? Putting my bias out there: I believe him. I also want to believe him. I just can't see any impropriety coming from him.

Keillor is a tall man (‘6’4″). If she was moving slightly forward when he tried to pat her on the back then his natural reaction would be to go both upwards (towards his own height to be comfortable) as his hand tried to follow her. It’s just the sort of awkward thing an awkward tall guy might do. And if he doesn’t realize her shirt is open or he’s just too awkward to stop himself he hits skin.
It’s rather Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm, but I can see it.

On her front? “my hand went up it [her shirt? her naked back?] about six inches”: about six inches up from where? the small of her back?

My impression was formed from growing up listening to him with my dad and sporadically when I visit Dad. It just so happened that politics didn’t come up during those times. I heard Keillor become bitter about Bush (because of the war?

But there were of course many, many radio plays, monologues, and other audio drama stylings in the first few decades of the wireless.
I guess we come from different perspectives and will have to leave it at that. I enjoyed Prairie Home Companion for many years but had to quit listening during the Bush years. Keillor could simply not let go of his disdain for Bush and I had never tuned in to the show to hear Keillor’s opinion on politics or foreign affairs.
This witch hunt will temporarily further banish men, masculinity and healthy sexuality from the public space, especially leftist public spaces (also known as mainstream public spaces), but this can’t last. In that respect it’s a good thing. Normal people need to be pushed hard enough to get angry. I’m really glad the left has stopped boiling the frog slowly and put the burners up to high.

Another side effect to consider is how men might decide it is best never to be alone in a room with a woman at work or anywhere else. Always have witnesses, in case you get accused of something.
Hey, how about we all wear body cameras?
And you can bet lefty women will enforce that, because all women should be believed! How dare you claim objective facts should rule!
Simple rule: avoid being alone with all left-wing women.

Feminists should take this in other directions.
Fat or ugly women should lodge complaints of Sexual Neglect or Attention Exclusion. They felt bad because the men were showing interest in OTHER women but not them.
Also feminists: "But we're entitled to yours!"
This has already started. Within the last few years, child molester Lena Dunham attacked (black) football player Odell Beckham for not hitting on her or giving her the proper amount of sexual attention when they both attended some awards show/banquet/charity thing.
Note that Dunham not only looks like a pre-op version of Boss Hogg normally:

-Boss Hogg: https://whoresoftheinternet.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/71744-13-boss-hogg-hazzard.jpg
... but also she was deliberately dressed in a full male-tuxedo at the time and had made herself look dumpy for the event:
-Lena Dunham tuxedo trainwreck: https://peopledotcom.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/lena-dunham-1.jpg?w=669
But still Dunham felt entitled to Beckham's sexual attention, and when he didn't give her what she wanted, she wrote an article about it the next day, whining about how he owed her sexual attention. And Beckham literally did nothing to her---he didn't insult her, he didn't touch her, he didn't laugh at her, he didn't even speak or look at her.
Thankfully, Beckham is black, and so black women rushed to his defense against this Middle Eastern woman claiming control over a superior black body, and it became (((white))) woman exerting ((white)) privilege on oppressed black millionaire athlete.
But if Odell had been white....
I know exactly where you’re coming from with this.
My background isn’t too different from Keillor’s. When I first discovered Lake Wobegon Days as a teenager, it seemed like a work of real insight to me, since it hit so close to home on so many issues. It made me feel smart and insightful; I could pierce my own small prairie town’s hypocrisies with the same stiletto-subtle thrusts and ripostes Keillor employed.
But as I grew up, I started to see through his trick, i.e. exploiting the memories and mores of his home and its people for the amusement and approval of his sophisticated new peers. Lots of writers and artists do this, of course, but it seemed to me Keillor’s approach was particularly clinical and heartless. Maybe I was just too close to it.
Anyway, as Keillor later turned openly to leftist politicking, I got increasingly frustrated and then outright angry with who and what he’d become. He had real talent, but he pimped it out for political and social approval.
LOL
Then they came for Garrison Keillor, and I didn’t say anything…………….because I don’t like him.
I keep pointing this out to various men of all political stripes:
“Who’s the only guy in Washington who can never be accused of this? Mike Pence! And remember when you laughed at him for his policy a few months ago?”
And every single one has agreed. The Left wingers have fear in their eyes when they do so—because they were supposed to be protected! They were the good guys! They were the favored pets, not the evil wolves!
I’m cackling as I write this. Too rich, too awesome.
Some states (such as California, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts) have rules that state you can’t record someone without their consent if the area is a private one—i.e. if they have an expectation of privacy. It’s something the left put in to protect themselves from sting operations.
And you can bet lefty women will enforce that, because all women should be believed! How dare you claim objective facts should rule!
Simple rule: avoid being alone with all left-wing women.
It’s impossible to prevent being alone in a coworker, particularly in the types of jobs we’ve seen. Maybe we’ll see powerful men deciding it’s just not worth the risk to have women around, and promote men instead?
Off topic, Steve Sailer gets name-checked in this recording of a Canadian cultural revolution interrogation at a university, from about 16:30:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2165&v=50xW002aU7c
“A lot of your references [in one of your papers] are not scholarly or academic. A couple of the bloggers that you’ve referenced, Steve Sailer, who is not a scholar that would be on the same [level as …].”
The student is charged with compromising collegiality in the course by having an agenda different from the teacher’s.
Yes, he is the one who personally swallowed large amounts of the problematic nuclear reactor coolant, which averted the catastrophic cascade that would have resulted from the coolant setting Lake Erie on fire, and then lighting up all six of the five Great Lakes because of the film of petroleum byproducts residing upon them. It gave Garrison funky hair and out-of-control eyebrows.
I particularly hate this type of political moralizing on the public radio / TV. It is supposed to be for everyone to enjoy and benefit from but instead it has become monopolized by SJWs and smug virtue signalling prigs like Keillor. He has had his share of air time. Time to go.
Well, Keillor deserved it. After all, he’s a vicious anti-semite:

Keillor made a living by extolling the virtues of midwestern-nice Minnesota (for which he seems to have a genuine affection). The politics he favored were just about everything required to destroy it.

Keillor has been married three times and had numerous affairs:
To Mary Guntzel, from 1965 to 1976.
To Ulla Skaerved, from 1985 to 1990. Keillor is mildly notorious for having dumped his long-time lover and Prairie Home Companion producer Margaret Moos to marry Ulla. The marriage failed when Keillor had an affair with his Danish language teacher.
His current wife, violinist Jenny Lind Nilsson, from his hometown of Anoka, whom he married in 1995.
BTW, what about George W. Bush, who molested Angela Merkel at a G8 meeting, giving her an unwanted back rub? Can we disgrace him, too?Replies: @Dr. X, @Charles Erwin Wilson
We can, but GWB has disgraced himself far beyond the meager measures we can offer. GWB is a servant of the vile serpent called globalism. It is his service to that underlord of the great deceiver for which he will have to account before the Great White Throne.
No matter how you spin it, betrayal is not a virtue.
So, what is this song really about?
Come here, pussy pussy.
Keillor once joked that when he was starting out in broadcasting someone said he had a face made for radio.
Well, you have something there, but if I had to choose between a corrupt idiot like Biden as president and a venal, virtue-free, and vicious corrupt idiot like Hillary as president I would choose the former.

Oh come on. Her shirt was open after he unbuttoned it, and because she was braless, he moved up and grasped her naked breast. Then the fact that he honked it like a bicycle horn really put her off. But mostly because of the sound effects he added to the event.
His assumption was that because she was braless, she was inviting him to “take the next step.” Unfortunately for him, she just thought she was a good feminist. And now his time in Hell has begun early.
Has anybody else besides Weinstein called an ex-PM of Israel to connect him with the Mossad Squad to silence his enemies list 0f 91 personal enemies?
That’s a tough standard to match …
So far this scandal has been anti-climactic. But maybe there is some good stuff still out there waiting to be revealed.
These guys are obviously believers in the old saying –
A Man Is Only As Old As The Woman He Feels
So when are SJWs going to insist that professional athletes and team owners be held to the same standards as Garrison Keillor?
I used to be the next door neighbor of a man who worked nights as the security guard at the gate of the mansion of a well known team owner in Dallas. He said that many nights when the guy’s wife was out of town, which was often, the owner would call the gatehouse and inform him that one of his nieces was coming over to visit and he should let her in. The “nieces” were invariably young and attractive, provocatively dressed, and usually spent the night.
Never be alone with a woman in a room at work – I had that figured out in 1983, when a friend of mine was a supervisor in a large university department, and a woman who he interviewed but did not hire as a secretary claimed that he made inappropriate advances toward her. The university suspended him without pay immediately, in spite of his five years of service, and subjected him to months of intrusive interrogations about his personal life, ultimately deciding to pay off the woman and to fire him.
After that, I asked my sixty year-old secretary to stay in the room with me, with the door open, whenever I interviewed women for clerical positions. She was there to “take notes”.

Keillor was still doing his five minute daily radio program “The Writer’s Almanac” which was pleasant literary or historical musings and he ended each show with “Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.” That was the pleasant side of him.
As others have noted, Keillor to the end remained an obnoxious critic of Republicans and skewered Trump with relish in his frequent newspaper columns. His attitude could be interpreted anywhere from arrogant to humble. He portrayed himself as a quintessential dyed-in-the-wool Democrat whose greatest fear will be realized as people will remember him as a sexist pig.
As Minnesota Public Radio said to Keillor today: “Be well, do good work, but don’t keep in touch.”

I’m with Whorefinder on Keillor. I’m glad he’s getting purged, and I hope all the rest of the liberal straight White males get purged.
When all the sci-fi, fantasy, detective, thriller, adventure, and superhero genres are written, directed, produced, and acted by women, gays, Muslims, and Blacks, there will be nothing left holding White men to this country. Sure the NBA attracts some White dudes, but not many. The NHL has more White fans the NBA I’d wager. And probably more teams make more money; a number of NBA teams have to be carried by the league as they lose money. The NFL is getting there if it has not already arrived — partners are supposedly on track to lose $500 million this year over the kneeling.
Remove all these guys and having nothing but SJW White women and gays and various non-Whites and there is both a tremendous market opportunity and the country starts to go up for grabs. France has done this partly and already there are serious suggestions for splitting the country into partly Sharia Run independent republics by French academics not Muslims. California is ground zero, there are hardly any White men in politics and the next Governor is likely the Latino State Senator or Antonio Villaraigosa. Imagine either one as the Governor — they make Jerry Brown look like a statesman.
Already comic books, science fiction, fantasy, detective and thriller stories are pozzed out anti-White, anti-White Male, pro-Muslim and gay and Black no go zones for readers and authors. The older White writers were purged a few years ago and its nothing but lesbian were-seals in space or fashionista werewolves. I’m not kidding either. Comic book heroes are either gay or Muslim, thrillers and detective stories feature lesbians or Black detectives, it is never OK to be White (and male). Even being Taylor Swift is now questionable.
This is IMHO part of the decisive cultural battle — the Schwerpunkt of the fight, where the forces of anti-Whites which are White women and non-Whites over-pursue retreating White men into the Weeds.
Put it this way — even Jerry Seinfeld is getting fed up with this stuff — and if **HE** gets unpersoned along with Larry David and Steven Speilberg for just being White men who are straight, thats a very significant development.
But contemplating our journalism outlet, journalism in general, what percentage of it are these two groups? I don't know, but every time I start to think it's slowing down a little, it revs up big time, so whatever the threshold, it is obviously being reached and then some. It's slowed down more for Hollywood where the problem is worse!
Since I suspect that the Alabama election is, at this point, also helping sustain the moral panic for cynical reasons, I've been kind of expecting it to peter out in December, but who knows. The Salem Witch Trials ended when the the governor shut it down after his wife was accused.Anyway, I'd be incredibly worried if I were a straight, liberal journalist.

My affection for your work goes back to the Prairie Home Morning Show that used to gently guide my morning dreams as I gradually awoke to for work, at the PLATO computer networking precursor to the Internet, across the street at Control Data Corporation’s Arden Hills operations. So I am prone to view your essay as a defense of a woman you respect, against the invective-charged 2016 Presidential Campaign. However, when you, yourself, resort to invective — particularly with regards to the Internet, in the passage “Extremism has poked its head into the mainstream, aided by the Internet.” you descend into the mosh pit.
Very well. Let’s mosh.
The PLATO system was, in 1979, ready to deploy to the mass market in the Twin Cities and bring the equivalent of the WWW to the people at least 15 years early. PLATO’s primary advocate and financier was CDC’s CEO: A Scandinavian-heritage farm boy. He so-identified with that heritage that he placed a farm windmill before the corporate towers as an irritating statement to the coastal urban managerial elites that despised his efforts to preserve the rural culture of the Midwest against urbanization. I know. I was there. I saw it infect the managerial class of CDC to the point that they — inspired by the business press of their mid-Atlantic and more urbane “betters” — mounted what can only be called a mutiny and stopped this project. CDC died and with it the Midwestern culture that produced Norman Borlaug’s Green Revolution, the first computer at the agricultural school in Ames, the founder of Intel, the first supercomputer beating IBM with a small team under the leadership of Seymour Cray… Need I go on, really?

It’s a huge legal minefield. I predict the end of the corner office, and managers will end up ensconced in glass-walled offices set smack dab in the middle of ye olde cube farm where everybody can see. If I were entering the workforce instead of leaving I’d invest some time into learning how to read lips.
They handle it this way: the office door stays open at all times and when the senior officer is talking to a female subordinate there is always a witness in the room as well.
Lower ranked officers just have a open cube usually shared by other people.
Of course it's sheer hell for the male officer because it makes it impossible to discipline a female subordinate without it spiraling into a sexual discrimination case no matter what. So most officers just let female incompetence slide so they don't destroy their own career.
It's even worse with female pilots. I remember on one program I worked on the male test pilots were shitting bricks when the AF dumped a female pilot on them. It basically ruined their ability to be blunt and open. Because of fear of offending the female pilot.
It just ruins well running shops when females are put in.

I was trying to imagine the last day or so what the lay of the land is within, say, a journalism outlet, and what it must be like living through this Moral Panic if you’re a liberal straight male (race being unimportant in this).
I imagine it must be a very fearful time. Even if you’ve never done anything wrong. What if something was misconstrued, misunderstood, or what if someone is just a sociopath?
But it’s going to end soon, right?
This moral panic is being driven by elite, working women and gay men. The women for obvious reasons, and the gay men because they empathize with the women while being unable to relate to the men.

There's been sadness, gloating, disappointment in him, and even more gloating, but I couldn't find a *SINGLE* person speak up and wonder if, well, maybe, just maybe, he's innocent? Maybe perhaps listen to his side and consider the fact that he does indeed deny it? He may be lying, but *nobody* is speaking out and saying he may be telling the truth.
The man seldomly dabbled in liberal politics, but it was enough to get hacks happy about his downfall. And the liberal side is weird.

It doesn’t seem that he has even defended himself. He did say that things did not happen as they were being portrayed, and that he had simply accidentally slid his hand under a woman’s shirt or something. But from what I’ve read, he still seemed resigned and apologetic.
It is all well and good for a man to apologize if he accidentally touches a woman in a manner that she will reasonably interpret as sexual. But according to him, he did that, years ago, and he says that she accepted his apology.
If that is the case… then he should have defended himself NOW. He should have stood up and said forthrightly that her current accusations were inappropriate. That she is now wrong, and he is now right.
If he speaks the truth about the incident, and apologized, and the woman accepted his apology and thereafter treated him as a friend, then her current accusations deserve condemnation. He is either lying about what happened, or he is acting with cowardice, perhaps supposing that if he slinks away his reputation won’t be too harmed. And his reputation probably would be harmed if did the right thing and condemned the accusations. But to act wrongly in order to preserve your reputation is cowardice. Other men will suffer the effects of his cowardice.

My affection for your work goes back to the Prairie Home Morning Show that used to gently guide my morning dreams as I gradually awoke to for work, at the PLATO computer networking precursor to the Internet, across the street at Control Data Corporation's Arden Hills operations. So I am prone to view your essay as a defense of a woman you respect, against the invective-charged 2016 Presidential Campaign. However, when you, yourself, resort to invective -- particularly with regards to the Internet, in the passage "Extremism has poked its head into the mainstream, aided by the Internet." you descend into the mosh pit.
Very well. Let's mosh.
The PLATO system was, in 1979, ready to deploy to the mass market in the Twin Cities and bring the equivalent of the WWW to the people at least 15 years early. PLATO's primary advocate and financier was CDC's CEO: A Scandinavian-heritage farm boy. He so-identified with that heritage that he placed a farm windmill before the corporate towers as an irritating statement to the coastal urban managerial elites that despised his efforts to preserve the rural culture of the Midwest against urbanization. I know. I was there. I saw it infect the managerial class of CDC to the point that they -- inspired by the business press of their mid-Atlantic and more urbane "betters" -- mounted what can only be called a mutiny and stopped this project. CDC died and with it the Midwestern culture that produced Norman Borlaug's Green Revolution, the first computer at the agricultural school in Ames, the founder of Intel, the first supercomputer beating IBM with a small team under the leadership of Seymour Cray... Need I go on, really?

All these guys have always seemed very creepy to me, except for Dustin Hoffman, who always seemed equal parts talented and creepy. They’re the kinds of guys who, when considered as potential sex partners, make being a nun or a lesbian instantly appealing. Even being dead suddenly reveals its upside, if only momentarily.
So I’m not sorry for any of them. I can easily imagine them making crude, rude, vulgar, unwanted sexual advances. Maybe of the overt “grab a tit and see what happens” type or maybe the “I’ll just pat your bare back in a home companionable way” type. But creepy. Because, let’s face it, they’re all physically repulsive and too arrogant to bother developing any charm of manner that might get them what they want without their having to grab or pat it. Every last one of them comes across as smug and entitled. And the woman in me thinks, “Power schmower. When you’re that ugly, you better be nice. And you bloody well better ask.”

Let the purges continue until the politics improve. There’s probably more opposition to this witch hunt here at iSteve than there is in the entire entertainment industry. Sounds like we need to purge the cucks.
You’ve been moving more than Steve has. E.g., the ecstatic thing was all in your head, this isn’t the first time he’s called it a purge, etc. Jews see the world through a Jewish lens. Then when someone like me specializes in Jews it’s all shock and horror from the Jews.

K, sure, first they came for the Jews, then they came for me.

In the USAF, officers are not allowed to be alone in a office with a female.
They handle it this way: the office door stays open at all times and when the senior officer is talking to a female subordinate there is always a witness in the room as well.
Lower ranked officers just have a open cube usually shared by other people.
Of course it’s sheer hell for the male officer because it makes it impossible to discipline a female subordinate without it spiraling into a sexual discrimination case no matter what. So most officers just let female incompetence slide so they don’t destroy their own career.
It’s even worse with female pilots. I remember on one program I worked on the male test pilots were shitting bricks when the AF dumped a female pilot on them. It basically ruined their ability to be blunt and open. Because of fear of offending the female pilot.
It just ruins well running shops when females are put in.
This focus on the female is going to ruin our military. They are sheer poison because they are a protected class.

Women will also reject an all female workplace.
Our declining, deindustrializing economy combined with a growing population (grown even more by immigration and the introduction of women into the workplace) and the ever increasing # of people with degrees means that there is vicious competition for every job above the level of Wal-Mart shelf stocker. One of the best ways to ascend the corporate pyramid is on the backs of your rivals. And if you are at the top of the pyramid and want to stay there, to get rid of any potential challengers for your spot as top dog. Lauer himself was notorious for getting anyone who was a potential rival canned at Today. He would go to his bosses and say , "it's either him or me" and they would pick him because they were making a lot of $ off of Today and they did not want to change what was working (no one really knows how to reproduce the elusive magic formula for success on TV ).

This could not be more inaccurate. Biden was added to the ticket because Obama was a political lightweight with no experience in anything, whereas Joe was an old Washington hand and had the policy chops and the connections to legitimize the administration. I would have taken Biden a thousand times over a sneering, contemptuous Farquaad like Obama. Besides which, corruption and idiocy are by no means undesirable traits to have in a president. As long as the president is beholden to various other forces who can check and control him, the citizens enjoy a measure of liberty. A hypothetical 8 years of Biden would have been gold compared to what we actually endured with Obama.
But he chose Joe. Why? Because Joe was so pathetic and stupid nobody wanted him as president. Pelosi, Clinton, Kerry, Reid---plenty of people on the Left and Right might have been ok with them being president if Obama pissed them off enough. And Obama wanted to cover himself. Hence Hairplug Joe got the tap.

I thought way even before "Piss Christ". If an artist truly has a vocation, he--or more rarely, she-- will find a legal way to finance the creation of his--or more rarely, her--art.
Schubert literally sang for his supper, Beethoven taught piano, T.S. Eliot worked in a bank. If an individual wants to be a patron of an artist, fine. But tax monies should not be used for that purpose.
The far Left crowded hated Lauer. According to the Narrative, one the reasons why Hillary lost (aside from the #1 Reason, being the Russians) was that when Lauer had Hillary on he was really mean to her and asked her about the email server when he should have just given her the usual softball questions about how wonderful it will feel when you break the glass ceiling, but when he had Trump on, he “normalized him” by treating him respectfully and not denouncing him as a Fascist (the same mistake the NY Times guy made with that other Nazi recently).

Normie women are by definition not going to move the needle of political winds. Right wing women really don’t have much power to do anything. So I think even if not all women are on board, I don’t think women can stop it.
I don’t assume that either, but that is the target rich environment. If/when it goes beyond liberal media and liberal entertainment we can worry about it then. This is not the time to be a cuckservative standing athwart whatever yelling please clap. This thing is hurting our enemies, just let it happen.

It’s these “empowered” left-of-center university-educated white women with soft degrees who are lodging ALL of these sexual harassment complaints. Whether the alleged perps are cads deserving of their comeuppance or not, we can’t lose sight of the visceral hostility most of our own women now have for us.
The advice I give to young white men is neither to work in industries populated by these sorts of women nor to enter long-term relationships with them. I’d even be cautious about a pump and dump.
Due process no longer exists in matters of family law or sexual harassment investigative procedure. One negative word out of the mouth of a 105-IQ 35-year old harpy or 25-year old female hipster and you’re tarnished for life.
It’s a sad state of affairs, but if you’re looking to enter a long-term relationship, these are the types of women you have to go for:
1. An Eastern European woman who has been in North America for 5 years or less;
2. An Asian immigrant woman or else an Asian-American raised under the strict guidelines of her Pentecostal or Roman Catholic Church;
3. A Latin American woman; or
4. A Mormon.
After all, we live in a world where Rebel Media is constantly labelled a “far right” media organization and where an Anglophone woman can physically assault someone like Roosh with impunity simply because she didn’t like his cultural commentary.
It seems that someone doesn't want the goyim to find out that she is a jew
i'm willing to bet that the rumor about him being a muslim was spread by the jews (ADL etc) after they found out that kap is a jew under jewish law
my radar was on fire when i saw ruth bader ginsberg attack him to distance her tribe from him
that made me look into it and i noticed the nose job

She should get her money back: the after version is as Jewy as ever.
Racial science has advanced greatly since the '30s, when we had to rely on clues such as nose shape, which can often be misleading. I suggest that you find Colin and insult him to his face. Perhaps call him a dirty Jew-N___ger, something like that. This will cause him to spit at you. You then can wipe up the sputum from you face and send it off for DNA analysis and get a definite answer to this urgent racial question. Please let us know when you get the results.Replies: @Autochthon, @Hunsdon
But he should save some saliva for evidence in his lucrative civil suit for assault and battery so that Kaepernik can buy him a new house.
(And, no, “He said something mean to me first.” is not a valid affirmative defence to assault and battery in a civil context, notwithstanding preposterous and decrepit statutes about “fighting words” in some jurisdictions.)

After I posted my comment, I worried that despite the qualifiers, the guys here might think I meant all men. But yes, I meant specifically those malignant narcissists.
I like men; their company, their conversation, etc. I once flirted most enjoyably with a sexy guy who had shiny blond hair and sparkling green eyes. It was only after he left and our mutual friend mentioned his disability that I realized yeah, he had no legs and was in a wheelchair. So when a man creeps me out, I take notice.
All these guys creeped me out long before the accusations against them were made public.
He posits that we are ruled by the incompetent who maintain their position only due to being legitimised by the ruling narrative. This makes them loyal to the state which supports and is supported by said narrative as they know if the narrative falls so do they. But those rascally white men, even those who have been supportive to the narrative, can never be so trusted. They are competent enough to do just fine even without the narrative. And so must be purged.
I talk about this in a blog post that might, or might not, be of interest to some.Replies: @Anon
I think it’s more simple than that. People in high places who have made a lot of enemies over the years are just being purged, and this happens to be a convenient time. It was just that a certain social momentum was needed to make the changes. The defenders of these men were liberals who would kneejerk fly to the defense of their idols and cause too much trouble to be able to fire the offenders. These liberal defenders had to be cowed by their own side to get rid of the men who were breaking the law.
But is Keillor powerful enough to have enemies who would make moves against him? Is he collateral damage?
Literary writers are experts at acting like terrific people for the public eye, then behaving like creeps in private. It’s long been a shtick of theirs. Writers have been pulling off self-anointed saint crap since Rousseau, Dickens, and Tolstoy.

Your feelings make perfect sense. When a woman says that a man is “creepy” (or a man says that a woman is “repellent”) , etc. you are attempting to verbalize feelings that come from a much deeper place (and so which cannot really be expressed adequately in words, which is why you were concerned that you had not expressed yourself clearly and why the whole vocabulary sounds like it is coming from a 9 year old – creepy, gross, etc.). Ultimately what we call “attractive” or not comes down to the answer to the question, “is this a person who would be suitable to bear my offspring” (even if you are just flirting or watching the person on the screen and have no realistic prospect or desire to bear that person’s children). This is how our brains are programmed. So the shiny hair and sparkling eyes (markers of youth) were signalling to you that yes, I could bear healthy fit offspring with this mate. That his legs were disabled because of some accident does not change the answer. If, OTOH, the man looks like the Emperor Palpatine, then your lizard brain is signalling “UNFIT, UNFIT” and this gets verbalized as “creepy”.
I also make a distinction between people with outsized egos and malignant narcissists. Trump has a huge ego but he seems able to focus on things connected to but outside himself: his business, his family. And why shouldn't he have a big ego? He's been pretty successful, even factoring in all his early advantages. I don't get the sense that his ego is any barrier to his affections.
He doesn't give me that chill of uneasiness these other guys do.
(I do have fun imagining what it would be like to meet him. "So what drives you, Kylie?" "Well, Mr. Trump, I have a passion for German culture, especially its Lieder." "Good for you! Yep, Germany has produced some great leaders, no doubt about it.")

Generally speaking, women make the worst bosses, and they treat their female colleagues worst of all.
Our declining, deindustrializing economy combined with a growing population (grown even more by immigration and the introduction of women into the workplace) and the ever increasing # of people with degrees means that there is vicious competition for every job above the level of Wal-Mart shelf stocker. One of the best ways to ascend the corporate pyramid is on the backs of your rivals. And if you are at the top of the pyramid and want to stay there, to get rid of any potential challengers for your spot as top dog. Lauer himself was notorious for getting anyone who was a potential rival canned at Today. He would go to his bosses and say , “it’s either him or me” and they would pick him because they were making a lot of $ off of Today and they did not want to change what was working (no one really knows how to reproduce the elusive magic formula for success on TV ).

That’s it exactly, Jack. My reaction to these men was visceral. Any attempt to analyze it or clarify it would be pointless beyond what you said–that, ultimately it’s based on my biological sense of them as unfit to mate with.

It’s a great story Beckow. And dovetails with the current hissy. But there’s zero evidence that this crackup–however bizarre and entertaining–dethrones modern “liberalism”–modern managerial multi-culti statism.
These folks are *firmly* entrenched. It’s going to be the hard tedious work of decades–with much better and firmer rhetorical clarity and action than we’re getting from any “conservatives” now–to root their noxious poison out. If it gets done at all.
I’ve seen this line of attack as well. Not just with Lauer–but arguing that the thing that he and Thrush and Halperin have in common (no, not that lol) is that all of them were media figures who “trashed” Hillary during the campaign. These people actually believe that the MSM wasn’t 100% in Team D’s corner in 2016.
I don’t think the arts should be publicly funded, either.
I thought way even before “Piss Christ”. If an artist truly has a vocation, he–or more rarely, she– will find a legal way to finance the creation of his–or more rarely, her–art.
Schubert literally sang for his supper, Beethoven taught piano, T.S. Eliot worked in a bank. If an individual wants to be a patron of an artist, fine. But tax monies should not be used for that purpose.
Yep. Weinstein level predation is one thing. (And back in the day such predation–if truly unwelcome, not involving women doing “deals”–might have had consequences from fathers, husbands, brothers.)
But when it gets to “he made a pass at me” or “he made a suggestive joke” or now “he put his hand on my bare back” we’re off into territory where the only real protection is either a learned “turn into a sexless automaton when a woman enters the room” or … segregation.
The players are always going play–that’s what they do. But you can bet that there’s a good number of men, either whose romantic/sex lives are in fine shape outside the work environment or who just make the cost/benefit calculation, who will simply avoid interacting with female employees. Don’t be friends with them, joke with them, eat with them. Don’t be alone with them. Don’t mentor them. Don’t manage them. Just don’t hire them!
The dominos toppling were public figures overwhelmingly critical of Trump. You seem to be saying that the Dem plan to take down Trump is to clean their own house first so they can gain purity points for future grandstanding against him.

And then they came for the Founding Fathers. Jefferson was the first to fall, having raped a slave called Sally Hemings who was a relative of his wife, but then old documents were found in Nevis implicating Hamilton in hanky-panky, and before long it became apparent that George Washington, who could not tell a lie, had been a habitual taker of cherries long before he tried to hide the evidence by chopping down the cherry tree.
The others soon fell, with Madison, the designer of the square garden, having been found to have molested all four of his younger sisters under the guise of ‘playing doctor’.
And so they were replaced with the Founding Mothers, who included Pocohontas, Virginia Dare, Bessie Smith, May Flowers, Lizzie Borden, Pearlie Gates, Madonna, and Anthony Be Susan.

This sounds about right, but then again look at England’s Prince Harry who is about to marry American actress and SJW Meghan Markle.

It is all well and good for a man to apologize if he accidentally touches a woman in a manner that she will reasonably interpret as sexual. But according to him, he did that, years ago, and he says that she accepted his apology.
If that is the case... then he should have defended himself NOW. He should have stood up and said forthrightly that her current accusations were inappropriate. That she is now wrong, and he is now right.
If he speaks the truth about the incident, and apologized, and the woman accepted his apology and thereafter treated him as a friend, then her current accusations deserve condemnation. He is either lying about what happened, or he is acting with cowardice, perhaps supposing that if he slinks away his reputation won't be too harmed.

They handle it this way: the office door stays open at all times and when the senior officer is talking to a female subordinate there is always a witness in the room as well.
Lower ranked officers just have a open cube usually shared by other people.
Of course it's sheer hell for the male officer because it makes it impossible to discipline a female subordinate without it spiraling into a sexual discrimination case no matter what. So most officers just let female incompetence slide so they don't destroy their own career.
It's even worse with female pilots. I remember on one program I worked on the male test pilots were shitting bricks when the AF dumped a female pilot on them. It basically ruined their ability to be blunt and open. Because of fear of offending the female pilot.
