    Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

    There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

      Not sure Baldwin fits here. First, he admitted what he did during an award speech. Second, he only admitted to bullying women and treating them "in a sexist way." Nothing to be proud of, but certainly not up to the Weinstein or Louie CK level.

      The actor admitted that he has been guilty of treating women poorly in the past. “I certainly have treated women in a very sexist way. I’ve bullied women. I’ve overlooked women. I’ve underestimated women. Not as a rule,” he said. “From time to time, I’ve done what a lot of men do, which is … when you don’t treat women the same way you treat men. You don’t. I’m from a generation where you really don’t and I’d like that to change. I really would like that to change.”

          I’d be shocked if Bob Saget is not named. Pat Sajak and Alex Trebek would ruin the day of millions of 70 plus year old women. My mother included. I hope they’re clean for her sake.

            I'll bet he says "I'mo get my Bergeron" right before he attacks.

              Right. Which is what I'm saying isn't the same as raping women in his hotel room. But if he thinks he should be included, I guess I won't deny him his self-flagellation.

                No, it wouldn't. Trump has already been taped saying how he can freely grab women by the pussy and it didn't seem to faze ANY of the innumerable 70+ year old women who voted for him, and I doubt they love him a fraction as much as they love Sajak or Trebek.

                • I read decades of Woody Allen’s private notes. He’s obsessed with teenage girls.

                  Allen’s work is flatly boorish. Running through all of the boxes is an insistent, vivid obsession with young women and girls: There’s the “wealthy, educated, respected” male character in one short story (“By Destiny Denied: Incident at Entwhistle’s”) who lives with a 21-year-old “Indian” woman. First, Allen’s revisions reduce her to 18, then double down, literally, and turn her into two 18-year-olds. There’s the 16-year-old in an unmade television pitch described as “a flashy sexy blonde in a flaming red low cut evening gown with a long slit up the side.” There’s the 17-year-old girl in another short story, “Consider Kaplan,” whose 53-year-old neighbor falls in love with her as the two share a silent, one-floor-long elevator ride in their Park Avenue co-op. There’s the female college student in “Rainy Day” who “should not be 20 or 21, sounds more like 18 — or even 17 — but 18 seems better.” That script includes a male college student but gives no description of his age. Another of Allen’s male characters, in a draft of a 1977 New Yorker story called “The Kugelmass Episode,” is a 45-year-old fascinated by “coeds” at City College of New York. In the margin next to this character’s dialogue, Allen wrote, then crossed out, “c’est moi” — it’s me.

                  His publicist, Leslee Dart, did not reply to several requests for comment on this story. Reclusive by nature, Allen did lodge a complaint about the Weinstein moment, warning the BBC about “a witch hunt atmosphere, a Salem atmosphere, where every guy in an office who winks at a woman is suddenly having to call a lawyer.” He seems to believe that coworkers wink at each other all the time.

                  . . . . . . . . . .

                  Sometimes Allen is in his work, but even when he isn’t, his characters are often obvious stand-ins. In a story that takes place wholly in the mind of a man named Moses Rifkin, he writes: “Unlike the Jewish girl — the shiksa is not guilt-ridden — not a complainer — she is abandoned, fun-loving, and above all promiscuous. The shiksa will perform any sex act.” In “Rainy Day,” Roland Polland, a fictional film director, confesses to a young female college student, “I took no risks because the bitch goddess of success opened her legs in my brain.” But that’s Roland Polland. Not Woody Allen. The “c’est moi” is always crossed out. He is Alvy Singer. He is Moses Rifkin. He is Isaac Davis. He is Sandy Bates. He is Zelig.
                  Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

                  For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                  Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                  • James Franco...

                    James Franco jets out of LA as he is accused of sexual harassment, trying to lure teens to his hotel and exploiting actresses in nude scenes following his divisive Golden Globe win


                    • James Franco was photographed as he signed autographs at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday
                    • The actor, 39, was all smiles while making his way into the airport just one day after he picked up the Best Actor Golden Globe for his work in The Disaster Artist
                    • In the wake of his divisive win on Sunday, a number of women tweeted allegations that they had been sexually harassed by Franco in the past
                    • Sarah Tither-Kaplan claimed that she was forced to do 'exploitative' scenes with 'full nudity' in two of Franco's films while being paid just $100
                    • 'Remember the time you pushed my head down in a car towards your exposed penis,' wrote actress Violet Paley
                    • Paley said: '& that other time you told my friend to come to your hotel when she was 17? After you had already been caught doing that to a different 17 year old?'
                    • Paley, Tither-Kaplan and reps for Franco did not respond to requests for comment

                      • Aziz Ansari say it ain’t so.

                        • Is this really sexual assault? Its definitely an awkward and uncomfortable sexual encounter. Aziz clearly has no game. But there is nothing criminal that happened here.

                            But he gave her white wine and not red. She doesn't even like white. The horror!

                              The Atlantic agrees with you.

                              Those magazines [girls'/women's magazines from the author's youth] didn’t prepare teenage girls for sports or STEM or huge careers; the kind of world-conquering, taking-numbers strength that is the common language of the most middle-of-the road cultural products aimed at today’s girls was totally absent. But in one essential way they reminded us that we were strong in a way that so many modern girls are weak. They told us over and over again that if a man tried to push you into anything you didn’t want, even just a kiss, you told him flat out you weren’t doing it. If he kept going, you got away from him. You were always to have “mad money” with you: cab fare in case he got “fresh” and then refused to drive you home. They told you to slap him if you had to; they told you to get out of the car and start wailing if you had to. They told you to do whatever it took to stop him from using your body in any way you didn’t want, and under no circumstances to go down without a fight. In so many ways, compared with today’s young women, we were weak; we were being prepared for being wives and mothers, not occupants of the C-Suite. But as far as getting away from a man who was trying to pressure us into for sex we didn’t want; we were strong.

                              Was Grace frozen, terrified, stuck? No. She tells us that she wanted something from Ansari and she was trying to figure out how to get it. She wanted affection, kindness, attention. Perhaps she hoped to maybe even become the famous man’s girlfriend. He wasn’t interested. What she felt afterward—rejected yet another time, by yet another man—was regret. And what she and the writer who told her story created was 3,000 words of revenge porn. The clinical detail in which the story is told is intended not to validate her account as much as it is to hurt and humiliate Ansari. Together, the two women may have destroyed Ansari’s career, which is now the punishment for every kind of male sexual misconduct, from the grotesque to the disappointing.
