Oscar's Victims and Villains

Top ranked victims celebrated at the Academy Awards...

1. Millionaire Black Actors
2. Rape Accusers
3. Planet Earth

Top ranked villains…

1. "Weirdo Billionaires" (defined as any billionaire who doesn't support every liberal cause under the sun.)
2. Culture of Rape… on college campuses. Not so much at Roman Polanski's house (or the White House for that matter.)
3. Anyone who uses the term "Gender Reassignment Surgery," instead of the much more correct "Gender Confirmation Surgery."  
4. The Culture of Greed. Especially in contrast to Hollywood's Culture of Not Caring How Much a Film Costs As Long As It's a Quality, High-Minded Work of Art. (Like Deadpool!)
5. Pope Francis

Biden's Apology Tour

Joe Biden apologizes to Mexico for comments made by GOP presidential candidates about building a wall and, I guess, that Mexican immigrants are "rapists."

In the same spirit maybe it would be nice of Joe to apologize to the German people for his own insulting comments about their alleged xenophobia.

And maybe Mitt Romney for claiming during the 2012 campaign that he wanted to put black people "back in chains."

And finally, to all those rape victims at the Oscars for the behavior of Bill Clinton before and during his presidency.

An apology and the recommendation to "better get some ice on that," would definitely be appreciated feminists everywhere.

You gotta love this…

“I will not be used as a tool for their purposes,” she wrote. “I am not a token, mammy, or little brown bobble head. I am not owned by Lack, Griffin or MSNBC. I love our show. I want it back.”

Bye Felicia!

The Dean of Tasteful Gun Laws

Hey, get this. The dean of the University of Texas architecture program is leaving Austin because of a new law that allows students to carry concealed weapons to class. And where's he going? Penn.

"I knew I would have to enforce the law even if I didn't believe in it," Steiner explained in an interview. "If a faculty member put a sign on the door saying, 'No guns,' it would be my responsibility to say, 'You can't do that.' " The prospect was distasteful, he said.

At least he'll be safer in Philadelphia… not!

The violent crime rate in Austin: 396 per 100,000

The violent crime rate in Philly: 1021 per.

It's a free county. People can move any place they want. But some places are safer than others.

Antonin Scalia R.I.P.

A great man and jurist is dead.

Thank God (and our over-reaching president) that the U.S. Senate is in Republican hands.

Spencerblog Bailed Out!

Please excuse the hiatus. 

We were incarcerated the last three weeks on trumped up charges of resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer and indecent exposure. We will be fighting these vigorously in the coming months.*

Which is the perfect lead in to what Kevin Williamson has to say about the corruptibility and incompetence of big city police forces. 

In Fairview, Tenn., a new police detective was just fired after responding to a prostitution ad. An NYPD officer was awarded $15 million in damages for being kidnapped and beaten inside his own home by other NYPD officers with a score to settle. Honolulu announced that in 2015 it fired a record number of officers for misconduct. A cop in Memphis is being charged with “official oppression” — though not rape — for using his position to pressure a woman into performing a sex act on him while he was on duty. Pittsburgh’s DA is refiling criminal charges against a police officer for assaulting a man while moonlighting as a security officer. A New Orleans police officer saw his 17-year sentence reduced for his conviction in burning the body of a man improperly shot by another New Orleans police officer. Elsewhere in Louisiana, authorities have settled upon “suicide” as the explanation for the death of a man in police custody who somehow managed to shoot himself in the chest while his hands were handcuffed behind his back in the back of a police cruiser. These things will happen, you say.

And that’s true: But all these things happened last Friday.

Read it all.

* We were just kidding about our getting arrested and incarcerated. We were just goofing off.
