January Short Shots

Actor Alan Rickman 1946-2016

From the movie Dogma where Rickman played Metatron, the herald and voice of God:

Bethany:  Were they sent to Hell?

Metatron:  Worse. Wisconsin. For the entire span of human history.

Is it selfish of me to wish Alan Rickman was only as far away as Wisconsin?

Now I thought this Tuesday's State of the Union speech by President Obama, and the Response by Republican South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley were both different in content from the usual pablum, and well-delivered.  I could almost say I enjoyed them, except that was based on exceedingly low expectations (like how "good" it feels when your neighbor finishes a 2AM band practice).  But apparently there was a kerfuffle when the latter injected the controversial idea that some GOP leaders could avoid being divisive and look for solutions:

“Gov. Nikki Haley used the platform to call out her own party, urging them to resist the temptation to follow the ‘siren call of the angriest voices.’”

That precipitated a round of Angry Birds - 

“In a series of tweets, radio host Laura Ingraham slammed the governor for taking swipes at GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, calling the move ‘not smart.’”

“Conservative commentator Ann Coulter also went on a Twitter tirade in response to a chunk of Haley's speech.” **

Which brings me to my point:  Who really knew they were two different people?

The Mexican government also says "Thanks," Sean, for unwittingly pointing out El Chapo's hide-out.
You're a credit to self-indulgent actors willing to associate with (and glorify in movies, apparently) murderers, drug lords, and enemies of the U.S. government everywhere.

There are just too many automatic assumptions and levels of distrust wherein Americans assume that a person from the other party, the other race, or even the other gender is out to get us.  The situation is not always as it appears (to you), or how you want it to be.
