Worst embarrassment of this year's Emmy nominations

Louie Anderson has already wrongly won an Emmy for best supporting actor for playing himself in a dress on BASKETS.

He's been nominated again this year.

Thank you for Voting for me!

To be clear, Christine Baskets is supposed to be a woman.

Louie brings no range or credibility as a woman.

This is not Linda Hunt in THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY.

It's not even David Spade and Adam Sandler in dresses on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.

This is an awful performance and a huge insult to women.


Were the entertainment industry truly progressive, they would be outraged by this performance.

Instead, they applaud this garbage.

The Aaron Sorkin Award goes to . . .

The award for the most pampered and praised minor talent, The Aaron Sorkin, goes to . . .


Julia Louis-Dreyfus who was just nominated for her sixth Emmy for VEEP despite having already earned five Emmys for the same role.

Has she grown each season?

No.

It's still the same performance she was giving on THE NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE.

But she's on HBO .

So no one's really watching.

It’s time to give someone other than Julia Louis-Dreyfus the best comedy actress Emmy (by )

The only Emmy category that got it right










The six actresses nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie is the only time the Emmys got it right this year.

Carrie Coon (FARGO), Felicity Huffman (AMERICAN CRIME), Nicole Kidman (BIG LITTLE LIES), Jessica Lange (FEUD), Susan Sarandon (FEUD) and Reese Witherspoon (BIG LITTLE LIES) are all deserving and gave outstanding performances.


It was the only category the Emmys got right in their nominations this year.

Truest statement of the week

The primary theme that comes to my mind when I think of my public life from 2007-today is the absolute treachery and betrayal of me and my movement by the Democrat Party. I will cover this is FAR more detail in the heart of the book, but in PM1, I went through “heartache to activism” and after the betrayal of the Democrats in 2007 and my subsequent departure from the party of Jefferson, Truman, war, and disaster, I was thoroughly attacked and kicked to the proverbial curb by some liberal/Democrat organizations that I believed were antiwar, but they were only anti-Bush. So, PM2 will take me from "activism" back to "heartache."

As it turns out, since Trump has gladly continued and expanded Obama’s destructive wars for profit and power, those same organizations weren’t even anti-Republican war, I guess. No wars have ended, nothing has changed, except the liberals have crossed the line to attach a “neo” in front of their label and now know they cannot criticize a Republican for war, because if they point one finger at the GOP, four more fingers are pointing at their own rotten core and the DNC.

Truest statement of the week II

The United States is at war with the very concept of the rule of law among nations, and constitutes the most imminent threat to the survival of the human species. Washington’s outlaw doctrine of “humanitarian” military intervention, championed by Bill Clinton and elevated to a defining national principle under Barack Obama, marks the U.S. as “a rogue state, a state that is completely rejecting international norms,” says Ajamu Baraka, of the Black Alliance for Peace. “There is no legal right for the United States to be in Syria, but yet they are in Syria with no domestic opposition."
Instead, much of what should constitute the “domestic opposition” to Washington’s flagrant crimes against peace is consumed with an obsession to punish Russia for imaginary offenses against a fictitious American “democracy.”

-- Glen Ford, "Black America is 'Pro-Peace,' but Its Politicians Work for the War Party" (BLACK AGENDA REPORT).

A note to our readers

Hey --

Another week.

We are shocked.


Let's thank all who participated this edition which includes Dallas and the following:







The Third Estate Sunday Review's Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess and Ava,
Rebecca of Sex and Politics and Screeds and Attitude,
Betty of Thomas Friedman Is a Great Man,
C.I. of The Common Ills and The Third Estate Sunday Review,
Kat of Kat's Korner (of The Common Ills),
Mike of Mikey Likes It!,
Elaine of Like Maria Said Paz),
Cedric of Cedric's Big Mix,
Ruth of Ruth's Report,
Wally of The Daily Jot,
Trina of Trina's Kitchen,
Marcia of SICKOFITRDLZ,
Stan of Oh Boy It Never Ends,
Isaiah of The World Today Just Nuts,
and Ann of Ann's Mega Dub.















 And what did we come up with?


Cindy Sheehan gets another truest.
As does Glen Ford.
Votes.  Maybe that will motivate the Democratic Party to actually draw a line between themselves and the Republican Party?
Ava and C.I. tackled season two of QUANTICO and cover a great deal: John Brennan, bad storylines, homophobia, fake liberals and so much more.  This is a mammoth piece -- and they edited it severely -- it was twice the current length when they finished it.

We want another Cass album and were talking about that last week.  C.I. and Betty said one was possible.  We thought they were joking but with the help of Kat, Isaiah and Elaine, they came up with a track list.
CNN has really dug its own hole lately.
Iraq.
What we listened to while writing.
Amnesty International.

Mike and the gang wrote this and we thank them for it.


 Peace,






-- Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess, Ava and C.I.
