wheniwasincongress's JournalShep Smith hoping for a car to ram into the police
I was watching Shep (hey, their livestream got me) and he kept saying that if a car were to plow into the police, it would change everything. disgusting
Jenner interview is excellent
Who else is watching? It was surprisingly interesting in just the first minute or so. I expected boring questions about the Kardashians and fame.
He just said that in the eighties he began to transition, but religion and passages in the bible made him stop.
How liberal would Hillary's Supreme Court picks be?
One of the most important reasons to NOT sit out voting for Clinton if/when she is the Dem nominee is the Supreme Court. But how liberal would her picks for the court be? Honestly, I could see her choosing people who often straddle the line between the two parties. Has she spoken about this?
Robert Kennedy Jr on Bill Maher next week
Along with Liz Mair and Ana Marie Cox, who "came out" as a Christian recently. I can't remember the other names, sorry!
What did Hillary do to DU?
All day I've been trying to load DU but only now it works! I assume she had something to do with this
Mariel Hemingway Says Woody Allen Tried to Seduce Her When She Was a Teenager
In Out Came the Sun, which will be released on April 7, Hemingway claims that Allen attempted to lure her to Paris once she turned 18—two years after she had filmed Manhattan. “Our relationship was platonic, but I started to see that he had a kind of crush on me, though I dismissed it as the kind of thing that seemed to happen any time middle-aged men got around young women,” writes Hemingway. The actress suggests that Allen attempted to act upon the crush by flying to her parents’ home in Idaho and inviting the teen to Europe.
The actress cautioned her parents “that I didn’t know what the [sleeping] arrangement was going to be [in Paris], that I wasn’t sure if I was even going to have my own room. Woody hadn’t said that. He hadn’t even hinted it. But I wanted them to put their foot down. They didn’t. They kept lightly encouraging me.”
Hemingway says that she woke up at night with the realization that “no one was going to get their own room. His plan, such as it was, involved being with me.” She says that she went into his guest room and woke him up asking, “I’m not going to get my own room, am I? I can’t go to Paris with you.” The actress says that Allen left Idaho the next morning.

I look forward to getting her book. I highly recommend the documentary "Running From Crazy" about her, her family, and depression.
I had always suspected he made advances on Mariel. In Manhattan, no character mentions how odd/sick it is for a 40-something to date a teenager, nor do they mention age difference. Look for that if you watch the film.
The young man who filmed Walter Scott's murder...(question)
Was his video instantly being uploaded to the net? God, he seemed to be so close and so unobscured - right in plain sight. So confident and brave, when there was like a 95 percent chance his camera would be taken away and himself in physical danger. This was an incident of a lot of luck and courage - and more courage than luck.
Brian Williams thought "brain tumor" was behind gaffes
"He couldn’t say the words ‘I lied,’ ” an NBC insider told the magazine. “We could not force his mouth to form the words ‘I lied.’ He couldn’t explain what had happened. [He said,] ‘Did something happen to [my] head? Maybe I had a brain tumor or something in my head?’ He just didn’t know. We just didn’t know. We had no clear sense of what had happened. We got the best [apology] we could get.”

Lori, Lori, Lori! Oops, I meant to say Lordy, Lordy, Lordy!
EDIT: In 2003 Joe was on the Don Imus show and the dead intern Lori was brought up. Joe and Imus joked that she got pregnant (by Joe) and thus had to be killed. The audio doesn't seem to exist online anymore, and it can't be good for him!; there is at least transcripts of it online.
