No, I haven't written the letter yet. I've got a page with everyone's suggestions, so I'm trying to work it out into a coherent one-page, punchy submission. It'll probably take all week, since, after I do the first draft, I'll let it sit and then look at it again to edit it. I'll let you know when it goes off.

Sounds good - I won't ask you again!
I was thinking, though, about your being worried because you don't have any direct experience. My thought was, how many people DO have experience with silent film work? Probably very few.
So your enthusiasm and love for silent film is your biggest selling point, I think.
My husband has hired (and fired) many employees, and he always says give him a bright, enthusiastic person who is willing to work hard over a lackadaisical one with the "right" credentials.
I'm rooting for you.

Ready to turn to less amusing topics?
In my ongoing Judicial Watch watch, Bryan Pagliano testifies tomorrow, at long last -- he was originally scheduled for June 6, screamed Fifth Amendment, Judge Sullivan looked over his immunity plea in the "criminal investigation" (the judge's words) that Hillary has yet to acknowledge as such, and finally said Let the deposition go forward.
In all this, I can't tell what became of Pagliano's intention to plead the Fifth. I was going to ask Judicial Watch (they've answered my inquiry before), but we'll know later this week anyway when the transcript is released. His entire testimony might be "I refuse to answer on the grounds that it might incriminate me."
And some legal eagle out there, please tell me why Pagliano wouldn't have given Hillary a total brain-dump on what he told the FBI when he was questioned under immunity. Did he plead amnesia to everything they asked?

I'm not a fan of Lucien Freud. He liked to make people look as ugly as possible. Last week, his dead brother has been accused of child molestation from 40-50 years ago and after he has been dead for 10 years. Lucien screwed all his models and has 12 illegitimate kids. One of his two legitimate kids is married to the "Governor" in TWD.

THAT's enough to give them the vapors and put the Dem challenger up in the polls? On the scale of Congressional corruption, that shit doesn't even register.

Not that I follow Utah politics, but people are saying she billed herself as one type of politician, then went to Washington and fell right in line with the Gopes.
So the "screw her" attitude, according to some, is deserved. Regardless of the pettiness here.

Watched episode last night of the Bachelorette. The gal, Jo Jo, was rejected at the last minute as a potential bride in the Bachelor show last fall, and was asked to star in the female version of the show.
(No, the producers haven't gotten to the point of same sex, transgender, etc. getting married, although I'm sure it's on the horizon.)
There is NO WAY this show is not scripted from opening to end credits. A dozen guys are left now, and they all talk so sweetly, sensitively, deeply, etc. when on their "date" with this emotionally distraught , model material millenial who has been dumped several times by past boyfriends and then the Bachelor.
They always post the guy's name and occupation when he is being interviewed (cough, reading his lines). One guy is an "erection dysfunction specialist".
There's drama(one guy pretends to have roid rage and threatens to beat everyone up all day long, LOL he remained on the show until Jo Jo doesn't give him a rose and he must leave).
Last night, Jo Jo's ex back home talked to In Touch magazine and spilled the beans that she is only on both shows to gain publicity(she is very much model material) and money and fact was, they were still seeing each other while she was being romanced on the Bachelor set. This was revealed to Jo Jo unsuspecting eyes last night, and the crying and caterwauling was extraordinary and bad theatre.
Other past contestants on these shows have said that all of the scenes are contrived, the producers pick who goes and who stays and all of the contestants end up having sex with each other. The guys often sleep with four or five of the final contestants.
I guess about half of the final couples end up getting married. A few have since divorced, a few are still together.

"The FBI launched an investigation into Mateen after Sheriff's Office officials reported the incident to the agency. As part of its investigation, the FBI examined Mateen's travel history, phone records, acquaintances and even planted a confidential informant in the courthouse to "lure Omar into some kind of act and Omar did not bite," Mascara said. The FBI concluded Mateen was not a threat after that, Mascara said."

I've done a lot of live studio drawing and think the best figurative work focuses on interesting bodies rather than those which are aesthetically pleasing in the conventional sense. Fat naked people are generally fun to draw: lots of mass, lots of opportunities for line and volume work. This is a good painting in that regard.

Also why I think converting a liberal to a conservative/libertarian is a shallow win, since rarely do they do the research work that's required to actually have a reasoned view that isn't just tribal knowledge like they had when they were liberals.

The model drops the robe and the view you get is the view you get.
Sort of. It depends on the teacher and the class.
Usually a class starts off with a lot of short poses and the students do 'gesture drawing' to get the mojo flowing. Then the longer poses are to work on the technique.
I've been on both sides of the easel, which means yes I've drawn nekkid people and I've been drawn nekkid by people.
Posing can be meditative and zen-like. It can also be excruciatingly hard. If the instructor wants an athletic pose and you choose one that works, holding it for ten or fifteen minutes is brutal.

The European Union was the ultimate triumph of technocracy. The smart
set not only insisted that a common European currency would work
fantastically well, they insisted that doubters were knaves and nuts.
Then the waves of Euro-crises hit the continent, most notoriously in
Greece. more on the website.

OH: 6/8 - 6/19 - Quinnipiac - Tie
PA: 6/8 - 6/19 - Quinnipiac - Clinton +1
But I'll bet they'll all mention this one:
FL: Clinton +8 in the same Quinnipiac series
The FL seems kind of weird given that in 2 other swing states it's a tie. And the last poll in FL, by PPP showed Trump +1.
But that's where we are.

Even with that, he's doing ok in the polls.
The republican national convention hasn't even happened yet, which normally marks the beginning of the general campaign. Nobody except political junkies are paying attention right now. For the vast amount of voters, everything spent on advertising prior to the last 2 or 3 weeks before the election is wasted.
This is especially true in a highly divided election like we have now. 2016 isn't the year where two slightly left or right of center candidates battle for the 10% of "undecided" voters. The only thing that is going to matter is last few days, firing up the base and the new voters who are looking for change.
Hillary is at a distinct disadvantage because no one gets fired up to vote for the status quo.
Of course, the media will not know this until the day after the election. "No one could have predicted this outcome!"

I've always been moved by Robert Heinlein's analysis of Rodan's 'Caryatid...' sculpture:
This poor little caryatid has fallen under the load. She's a good girl - look at her face. Serious, unhappy at her failure, not blaming anyone, not even the gods...and still trying to shoulder her load, after she's crumpled under it.
But she's more than just good art denouncing bad art; she's a symbol for every woman who ever shouldered a load too heavy. But not alone women - this symbol means every man and woman who ever sweated out life in uncomplaining fortitude until they crumpled under their loads. It's courage...and victory.
Victory in defeat, there is none higher. She didn't give up...she's still trying to lift that stone after it has crushed her - she's all the unsung heroes who couldn't make it but never quit.

The pro-Bernie twitter feeds are filled with the Hillary fundraising frolics, starting with the petrodollar money grabs from the Middle East. Hillary's war chest is a vulnerability, not a strength.

And yet...
Last 3 Trump favorable / unfavorable
40/59
28/57
41/59
Last 3 Hiladbeast
42/57
36/52
38/59
She's maybe slightly less unfavorable than Trump. But the way the MSM and so-called conservative media talk about this you'd think Hillary's numbers were 75/25 vs 25/75 for Trump. When in reality it;s high 30s / mid 50s Hillary and high 30s/high 50s Trump.

Fox? Apparently you have not been watching the Kelly files..
You know.. the flagship dinner time program on Fox which is VERY Anti Trump?
Posted by: Don Q. at June 21, 2016 11:37 AM (qf6WZ)
I dunno. I think SeanHannity makes up for any Trump animus on Megyn Kelly's part by his tireless pro-Trump advocacy. Hannity's unabashed adoration of the manborders onthe embarrassing; it's like a public act of fellatio every night.
Hannity, Coulter and Ingraham have been Trump's biggest cheerleaders from the earliest days of the primary campaign. They're now inextricably tied to Trump--so, for that matter,are the Breitbart and Drudge sites. If Trump goes down, they go down with him; hence, the relentless pro-Trump messaging.

Apples and Oranges
Kelly Files is presented as straight news. Someone tuning is is getting "the news". They're told Trump is Hitler, not as opinion but as fact.
Hannity on the other hand is pure opinion.
It's the difference between P1 coverage and the Op-Ed page.

She originally billed herself as a Mike Lee type of conservative republican, but her actions have not lived up to that. She is in a district with a large enough dem population that she probably has to play it more GOPe than tea party. It's hard for me to tell what her actual beliefs are, if she has swallowed the GOPe Kool-Aid or if she is merely playing the GOPe game.
But at the end of the day, Republicans will vote for her over the dem, make no mistake. The problem will be if enough GOP stay home and don't get out the vote.
The MORE interesting race in Utah frankly is between Jason Chaffetz and Chia-Chi Teng. Teng is of Chinese descent, his parents escaped communist China to flee Taiwan, he was schooled in US, teaches now at BYU. Sounds to be extremely conservative. Chaffetz has gone GOPe soft in the belly so plenty of room to strike at him. Teng is running very clever ads against Chaffetz. We'll see if he can unseat him.

And those of you Cruz people that think he could have done so much better, need to think again. He'd be in the same predicament, except that he'd be so much further behind the Hildebeast in the polls.
Posted by: Soona at June 21, 2016 11:48 AM (Fmupd)
----------------------------
You have no way of knowing where Cruz would be in the polls. Given that he had much, much lower negatives with the general electorate than Trump, and given that he consistently polled better than Trump against Hillary, there's no reason for your assertion.
That being said, Cruz faced exactly the same problem that Trump is facing. The GOPe really, really doesn't like him. And I do not think it is possible to win state-wide elections without GOPe support.

Well it's because fox and talk radio self identify as conservative. And talk radio is almost exclusively opinion. Which means it's more or less preaching to the choir, while NY Times, WaPo, CNN, LA Times, et al are giving you their very liberal opinion but presenting it as middle of the road, just the facts maam.
So while you could say Kelly is anti-Trump and Hannity is pro-Trump so they even out, it's not really the same thing. Hannity is preaching to the choice while Kelly is giving middle of the road people anti-Trump screeds every night.

Drudge had conservative credibility. His not-so-subtle attempts to make Cruz look like a Bible-thumping extremist and Cruz's father look like Assassin #2 on the Grassy Knoll caused enormous damage to his brand, in my view.

I don't, thanks. Just making an observation--you know, that Drudgedestroyed his credibility with a good-sized share of his target audience. So did Ann Coulter. So did Sean Hannity. So did Laura Ingraham. They can't call themselves pro-conservative media figures while simultaneously shilling in the primaries for the least conservative Republican candidate in decades.

It's one of the classic signs.
When she "passed out" a few years ago, it was also a symptom of congestive heart failure. Shortness of breath and lightheadedness.
Other signs and symptoms that she exhibits for CHF are fluid retention in the abdomen and lower extremities (pedal edema), along with frequent potty breaks.
She has CHF.
