Gretchen Carlson looks like if you made an entire person out of lip gloss.

She looks terrifying in person. She had to weigh about 90 pounds, with the body-to-head ratio of Beavis and Butthead. I couldn't help wondering how her spindly chicken legs didn't snap with each step. I have to say, she was super friendly.

A lot of people we see on TV or in the movies have a weird head-to-body ratio. Ben Affleck is a really good example. ENORMOUS noggin. George Stephanopolous - oversized domepiece.

I think Christoph Waltz is the best example of this. He's like 5-7 but has the same size head as Yao Ming.

Not irony. Not even in the dictionary.com sense either.

It's the pinnacle of a lack of self awareness and tone deafness, however.

I almost screencapped the screencap to remove the irony comment, because it wasn't the point. Then I bet myself who would be the first to point out the lack of actual irony, and left it as-is. I lost.

And of course, the talking head that made that comment about it not being a racist country was responsible for this light-hearted look at Chinatown.

And today his 19 year old son was found dead.

I actually have a friend who knows that chick. They're both involved in politics in Hendersonville (my friend is on the non-evil side.). I guess she's pretty much batshit crazy though obviously that's a pretty horrible story.

Like, her speaking out now seems like a desperate ratings ploy?

It may be cynical, but does that really matter? The issue isn't Megyn Kelly, but rather sexual harassment and Fox's facilitating harassment by Bill O'Reilly.

True enough.

If there was to be one, who would conduct the investigation on Fox? Is that Federal or state?

If we are talking about sexual assault, that would be state. If we are talking about making extortive threats to employees to keep quiet, that could be either.

For any individual employee, they could file a complaint with either the state or federal employment opportunity commission. But I don't think that kind of investigation would go beyond an individual employee's claim. Maybe I'm wrong about that though.

So my 78 year-old mother is visiting. She has an iPhone but doesn’t know much about using it. She does have a few apps downloaded - probably with the assistance of one of her friends. So I was giving her a tutorial on how to use them.

Does it make me a bad person that when she left the room, I deleted her Fox News app and replaced it with the CNN app? Bwaahaha.

This is a great resignation letter to Fox News from a former analyst to the network.

You can tell it was directed mainly at folks like Hannity, Tucker Carlson and the dimwits on Fox and Friends.
