Page Six: Chelsea Clinton Nearly As Loathsome as Her Vile Mother, Former Foundation for Clintons Insiders Aver
Chelsea Clinton is so unpleasant to colleagues, she’s causing high turnover at the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, sources say. Several top staffers have left the foundation since Chelsea came on board as vice chairman in 2011. "A lot of people left because she was there. A lot of people left because she didn't want them there," an insider told me. "She is very difficult." Onetime CEO Bruce Lindsey was pushed upstairs to the position of chairman of the board two years ago, so that Chelsea could bring in her McKinsey colleague Eric Braverman. .. Chelsea has embraced all the trappings of a corporate CEO, with a personal staff almost as big as her father's. "He has six. She has five," said my source.Progressives and the media (but I repeat myself) keep suggesting that donations to the Foundation for Clintons weren't direct payoffs to the Clinton. That's a lie. The Foundation for Clintons apparently pays for five or six man personal staff teams -- that's something like a $200,000 to $500,000 emolument for years. Imagine this hypothetical: A charity wants to bring you aboard, part-time, as an officer. They say they can't pay you a salary. However, they will provide you with a personal staff of five people, pay for a car and a chauffeur, and pay for first-class travel all over the world as their corporate emissary. In addition, you'd have a swank office at their headquarters. Corner office, 1000 square feet. A little secret sleeping room for when you just want to nap. Would you say that there was no personal financial inducement in that offer?

Being an idiot, he assumed that he was supposed to run a charity so, get this, that's what he tried to do. He didn't realize that wasn't his role and he was got gone.
I want to know if he started asking uncomfortable questions about the "charity" finances.

Chelsea Clinton was named after the song "Chelsea Morning," written by Judy Collins, but first recorded and released by folkie musician Dave Van Ronk -- who was an avowed Trotskyite and revolutionary communist.

Chelsea Clinton was named after the song "Chelsea Morning," written by Judy Collins, but first recorded and released by folkie musician Dave Van Ronk -- who was an avowed Trotskyite and revolutionary communist.

Ooops, yes, written by Joni Mitchell, that was a mental slip.
HOWEVER, I am right about Van Ronk being the first to record it:
""Chelsea Morning" is a song written by Joni Mitchell...
the earliest commercial appearance of the song was likely by Dave Van Ronk on his 1967 album Dave Van Ronk and the Hudson Dusters.

Since Game of Theones, by the sound of things, was little more than pron brought back to pseudo-medieval times, it's remarkable that rapey-rape hasn't appeared until now.
Let's face it, SJWs, you were cool with it as a non-rapey-rape PIV and sadomasochism platform, so the high ground on which you believe you stand looks a lot like a miasmatic bog to the rest of us.

Link for that? Via Breitbart, it was Ed Henry asking Josh the question about ISIS being a success--or are these two different occasions?
(via breitbart): Ed Henry of Fox News incredulously asked, "The President said it's a success. He was wrong, right? Why can't you say he was wrong and we're trying to fix it?"

I think our commenter is poorly articulation that in the medieval like setting of GoTs there really wasn't a notion of "spousal rape."
But then the medieval period had a lot of other remarkably bad moral norms, so I'm not really sure I'd hang my hat on that argument.
Having said that, art isn't supposed to be happy-fun-optimism all the time either, so I'm not sure I understand the outcry that GoTs involved a scene where someone did some pretty awful stuff.

What's disturbing is I'm simply not seeing enough of this show up in the polling. I think no matter what is revealed, Hillary has 48% of the vote in the bank, so you almost have to run a perfect candidate and campaign to beat her.
I'm sure some of this is a result of 95% of the population not really paying attention, but it's still not comforting.
When corruption is so out of hand for a Democrat that the New York Times is taking the lead on exposing it, it's really beyond business as usual.

Well they are now trying to sell the latest incursion into ISIS territory as justice for Kayla Mueller which is kind of sickening because earlier reports said that they had earlier opportunities to actually rescue her but Obama was too slow to approve it. That indecision is a recurrent technique of his, It is one Stanley McChrystal revealed early on when he had to surprise Obama on a Tarmac overseas to even get a meeting with him and a decision on what to do in Afghanistan before winter.
At least justice for Kayla is the story, doesn't seem to ring right, and actually if it's the real reason it isn't very sound.

Right, but I think the books (and the show) have repeatedly made the point, even if it is understated at times, that women are not necessarily happy about all these arranged marriages to brutal slobs. In the time, they wouldn't call it rape, no. But we're reading/watching it in OUR time.

Which is why this story is stupid. They put Sansa in the exact same situation, except they got to go through with it (ie, rape). And the producers have been really excited about it.
And still, no mysterious deaths. No Frey Pie. No wildlings and no manderlys.
No, this is the thing they thought would be fun. I haven't watched because I literally don't want to. I stopped watching the first season when I knew Ned would die (because books) for 2-3 years before I caught up and I'm not sure that I won't do the same for a while.

Agreed, but as was stated upthread a bit, at least part of the outcry is the fact that they took the real Sansa Stark and arbitrarily put her in that setting, where the book had a fake one. Fans of the books are getting pretty fed up with the changes.

I think what you guys who maybe don't watch aren't understanding is that this is Ramsey Bolton. The sigil of his house is a flayed man. He is a sadistic, sick perverted fcuk who has murdered and tortured many women. In the books: SPOILER:
His previous wife:He made Lady Hornwood marry him, then shut her in a dungeon and made her eat her fingers.
So yes, people are kind of unhappy about a very young Sansa Stark being married to and abused by this particular guy. People are protective of Starks.

I agree.
Another dangerous thing is getting emotionally attached to the fate of a *fictional* character. If the writer is doing a good job you should end up caring about the characters while the story is going on, but carrying on about something that is make-believe after the credits roll?
That's getting to be a little much in my opinion.

No, I'm not mixing anything up with Jeopardy - in Wheel of Fortune (the right name of the show?) there is a phrase you have to guess, after some of the letter have been revealed, and under the phrase is a kinda clue as to what it is.
South Park did a previous episode where the clue in "People that bother you" and the phrase was "N_GGERS."

I think the biggest problem people are having with HBO and GoT is how far they have moved away from the story in the book. I don't mind too much with taking artist license with a story, but when your in a comply different zip zone from the book I have problems with your writing.
Posted by: wrg500 at May 19, 2015 03:46 PM (S+el1)
Duno, do watch it, but from the description
First it would be palace intrigue, and there is a morality play there, and foreign policy intrigue, and the subject is the off screen rape and whether or not the SJW are inflamed.
So, like 1984 was presented as a warning and it turns out to be an instruction manual. So GoT isn't necessarily a warning, but something like sim city for politics? Like Lotus 1-2-3 was a spreadsheet for financials, GoT is a What IF for political activists?

So I was thinking what would my 5 servants be:
1 combo butler/chauffeur preferably named Jeeves.
1 well trained chef
1 nanny
1 maid/gopher combo
1 yard person/handyperson, I went with person instead of man thinking maybe Nicole Curtis might want to climb a ladder or two.

Don't watch GoT much, but as for the "it's not real" canard. There are a lot of powerful films and books that people read and are involved in that are "not real". The point ofgetting drawn into a fictional world and the woes and wins of a fictional character is not that one doesn't have any connection with reality, but that good art, good fiction, good television and movies, have something to say about the human condition. In essence, as BurTC and others have said, it involves a morality play, and a good morality play should have you care about the characters.
Storytelling for a long time was a significantsource of the transmission of day to day morals and values in cultures (see Aesop's fables or the Brothers Grimm). Or even literatureschool books from times past that would ask the reader "What would you do in this situation? Waswhat X did right? Why or why not?" which is why the increase innihilism in stories is so disturbing.

The thing is, Sansa at Winterfell could have been fantastic. They could have given her manderly's role. Or sent Mance and had them in collusion.
I'm just mad they cut all the best parts and gave us this instead. Because it sucks.
I'm not happy with Dorne either.
Posted by: Lea at May 19, 2015 03:56 PM (lIU4e)
As I ranted yesterday.....or was it Sunday? The problem is not that they changed the story from the book arc. It's that after the first two books/seasons IT'S FUCKING BORING.
The Greyjoy and Dorne stories are obviously filler and always have been. They don't move the primary narrative along. At. All. GRRM just wanted to "explore the world". Which is why I suspect that a big part of the next book is going to take place in the Summer Isles, because that's pretty much the only part of the known GoT world that he HASN'T written about.

Ha. Yes, you missed a few. They changed the books. This did not happen to Sansa in the books.
I think this is a bit blown up because you have SJW's who are still mad about nudity and Roz and the Cersei/Jaime thing last year and this....and then you have people who read the books and are pissed because the books story was better...and then probably there is a category of neither who just don't enjoy because Ramsey makes their skin crawl or because it's boring or they don't want it to happen to a stark. So it's a bunch of people who are irritated for different reasons but ultimately all hate this plotline.

Aye, but the whole point of that poem was "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" always show up so you should act accordingly. It wasn't "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" show up and you can do nothing about it. Kipling's poem mocked the folly of a new morality that brought trouble because it acted in defiance (the direct opposite) of a moral code that was meant to help you live a virtuous life in the real world.

True. But I wasn't commenting about discussing big themes of morality or the human condition. My comments were directed at people who are upset that something very bad happened to a character and then carry on about how terrible it is that this character gets hurt. They're carrying on a little too much in my opinion.

This carcinoma in right on that vertebra that sticks out the most where the neckbone connected to the backbone.
I had 1 on each temple.
Apply a Blue Ice (or similar) pack to the compression bandage for at least 11 minutes. 10 minutes is not quite enough. 12 minutes is a useful limit, as more does not help. Wait 48 minutes, repeat.
After about 5, maybe 6 or 7 cycles, the swelling/discomfort should be almost completely gone.

The average board salary for major companies is a quarter mil. Non-profits salaries are typically considerably lower, and often are gratis, but the other boards that Chelsea sits on are not all non-profits, and of course they can benefit in numerous ways from Clinton connections.
For example, she sits on the board of a media conglomerate that runs Newsweek, Daily Beast, and others, and gets paid $50,000 for wielding this influence. Who knows how many boards she sits on now. It could be dozen, where she probably just mails in the votes that her political handlers tell her to make.
Posted by: Alec Rawls at May 19, 2015 04:49 PM (kTTUz)
Would you say that there was no personal financial inducement in that offer?
That's a very tempting offer, but...wait...I can leverage sitting on that board to sitting on the board of directors for some Wall Street firm. And that does bring a pay check with it. And if I can sit on one of them, I'll get invited to sit on others.
Why yes, yes I will sit on the Ace of Spades HQ Board of Directors. What? no personal staff? no corner office? no free Val-U-Rite? what sort of outrage is this?
