Women’s sports has been in search of a marketable messiah to change women’s sports from ESPN hype to mainstream. Too many fans were turned off by the strident soccer player Megan Rapinioe and WNBA star Britney Griner who made every game into a referendum on the latest #LGBTQ talking points. But Clark is different.
The best part is that Mike’s show is he will talk to anyone civilly without inserting himself into the show, especially if the craic is good. We discussed that at length in Ep.1464 about the current media mania for demonizing people with whom we disagree.
The greatest complaint about sports betting from people who don’t know a parlay from a chardonnay is the effect on young people seeing so much on wagering. Alert: In every jurisdiction it is illegal for anyone under 18 (sometimes 19) to bet legally. The image of 11-year-olds betting props on their own phones is a canard.
We are in a holding pattern as the media demand answers. Such as, will the biggest signing in the sport’s history now face federal charges that prohibit wiring money to an unlicensed sports gambling operation? Will MLB suspend him for life for dealing with an illegal gambling operation? Why is Ohtani’s name on the money trail? Also, are these payments about something else?
To most people who’ve watched tennis’ Hawkeye system or soccer’s goal-line system the response to all this is, What took so long? Fans watching games on TV at home have seen a virtual strike zone for years now, helping them and the homer announcers see accurate results live. The answer: Gambling.
Sure, Justin told the UN his citizens are genocidal, applauded Nazis in Parliament and showered his pals with graft. But wasn’t Mulroney also found counting bribe money from paper bags in a hotel room? Surely, the charity shown to Mulroney will also be extended to Trudeau in the fullness of time?
With polls that even Biden would faint over, Justin Trudeau is ramping up the disinformation dodge with the same fervour as the MSNBC fainting goats. Skippy has added a little Russian sauce to his equation, claiming that Putin has Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre in his control, manipulating the public to abandon Ukraine.
Isolation is their nightmare. While they recognize that Justin can’t dance and Melanie don’t rock ’n roll, there’s safety in staying under their skirts. They won’t have to turn on CBC or CTV and confront rubes in Charlottetown who’ve noticed that Team Trudeau is selling PEI off by the pound to the CPP. They’ll be able to trade Saturday Night Lies skits with fellow travellers. And that’s not such a bad life, is it? Especially when someone else is paying.
Selfishly interrupting the show (after being asked not to) to read a live Donald Trump online rant about Kimmel’s lame performance he affirmed what everyone knows: Trump has built a hotel inside the head of every SJW. He owns them.
As the United States and then Canada head into elections promising destruction for Woke administrations, the definition of a woman that eludes so many radical political figures is foremost in the minds of voters. As J.K. Rowling states, women are united by their gender, but are not a monolith to be banked by a political party.
One of the Millenials’ fears, they were told, was Hate Speech. What began as an earnest attempt to silence Ernst Zundel’s #Nazi ravings has morphed into PMJT deciding whose speech is hurtful and whose is transcendent Happy Ways positivism. Bill C-63 wants to monitor your opinions to make sure they don’t offend anyone in the current government.
DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF CULTURE?
Green’s complex, colloquial whimsy is grounded in a strong academic backbone and a broad knowledge base that references Wordsworth, Shakespeare and Sylvia Plath. And how she loves wordplay and puns,
Winning a literary award hikes a book’s profile, as the books are put on course curriculums, book club reading lists, and are listed as library best staff picks. This creates more profits for publishers, which is a boon for authors because it increases a book’s promotions budget.
I think books in this genre require a bright label along the spine: Beware. A second reading may be required to fully comprehend this book.
The collection’s title Titch – which means a small somebody – is a clever take on the moniker for Little Tich, a famous music hall performer from the turn of the twentieth Century, and a word derived from Australian and British slang. Flaherty’s poems inspire and entertain, however down-to-earth the poet’s subject matter.
The result is a gripping fictoire – heart-wrenching poems about the imagined life of a forgotten woman. Langevin syntax is direct and personal, reflecting a simple woman’s voice, but a voice of bewilderment and pain.
In her Oscar-winning film adaption of Women Talking, director and writer Sarah Polley stayed true most of the book’s plot, themes and characters. However, after including August as narrator in early drafts of the screenplay, Polley changed her mind, settling instead on a teenaged girl who addresses an assault victim’s unborn child as the film’s narrator.
This is the 3rd official podcast episode of 2019 here on the Sound & Groove Podcast. This is the 1st in a 2-part theme on songs about technology. It's all part of another series of tremendous tunes you'll hopefully enjoy. And if you haven't been keeping up with S&G on Music of Evan's Mind and/or its home at www.notthepublicbroadcaster.com, here's the breakdown: 6 times a year there will be a theme that the selection of music is centred around. It will be jam-packed with my analysis, synopses, anecdotes and other witticisms you might enjoy while I play edited-down versions of each tune. And not to worry, because each will contain a different theme than the last. Got it? Get it? Good. Happy listening to you all.
This is the 2nd official podcast episode of 2019 here on the Sound & Groove Podcast. This is the 2nd in a 2-part theme on songs about California. It could be about somewhere, something or some aspect of the Golden Coast state but whatever the case, I've chosen the best for these 2 episodes. It's all fair game for another series of tremendous tunes you'll hopefully enjoy.
The apogee of the trial was, of course, coarse actor O.J. not being able to put on the glove (if it don’t fit you must acquit). The stunned look on prosecutor Marcia Clark’s face was mint. For the hyper-liberal, mostly black L.A. jury that was all they needed to cement the not-guilty verdict. CNN reverberated for weeks on the sugar high from the trial.
