I loved Robin Williams’ acting, especially in “What dreams may come”. I hope there is someone who loves him enough to rescue him from hell.

Lauren Bacall was a stunningly beautiful woman, in her day, even as far forward as The Shootist she was easy on the eye- but was always an avowed leftist shitbag Of course redistribution was ok for other people, but she earned her money, not like those other greedy bastards who just had it float down on them from above because they had great legs. Wait…

Anyway, I don’t understand suicides but I do understand manic depressives, and I further understand that alcohol and blow is not a good plan of self medication for those problems. Add that to his other demons and it wasn’t going to end well. Still. Suicide? What did I do? I got a lot of people that need killing more than me.

lauren. The world forgives people for being ignorant if they’re beautiful, or even funny, or have a great voice. People will listen for hours to Morgan Freeman because he has an awesome voice; no matter that it’s racist shit he spouts. People put up with Bacall’s ignorance because she had great tits and good gams. And despite how nasty he was to , for instance, Palin, Williams had a huge audience.

People will forgive you for telling lies if you do so entertainingly, Mark Twain made a career out of it. So have Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, hell, all of the soviet style media. And tell those lies enough and they become the truth, especially if you can laugh along with the super intelligent guy on the TV set.

Nobody is interested in the boring old truth. And snark a la PJ O’Rourke is only effective with people already on your side.

Pascal says even though this may be true it’s too late to even try on this front. Maybe. maybe we’re just in for a hot wet war. I hope not.

otherwise, as entertainers? fine. As humans? Good riddance to bad rubbish. Come and get Roseanne Barr while you’re at it, Binky.
