Oh no!!!.

All Taylor/Travis pictures and articles.

Her wedding dress, the venue, the reception, the wedding, the honeymoon....on and on.

Nonstop pictures and more pictures.

My wife just told me her ring cost 1 million.....must you tell me this?

I don't care.

Poor Travis. He used to be a man.

Now he's Mr. Swift.

I always questioned if Taylor is really a good role model for young girls.

She sure is popular.

She's 35 now and pushing the limit for teenyboppers.

Will she take a break to have kids?

She's a little long in the tooth for it but she still has time.

Who will be her next demographics?

Speak,

In the past he was pretty interesting to look at, for sure.

But now you gotta check out his photos in Sept 2025 GQ.

Trying to do the sexy model look with a dadbod isn't his best look.

The dadbod look isnt exactly unappealing to me but it has to be the right setting.

Travis slicking his hair back trying to be alluring in the water bobbing like a cork doesn't work.

Rein,

She's the billionaire.

His money is pocket change to her.

He has plenty of money but independently they're in different leagues.

Lamp,

You don't know a joke when you see it?

Speak,

No.

He's not fantasy material.

He's liberal.

Real men aren't liberal.

Lamp,

What about my alias?

Are you confusing me with someone?

Lamp,

Or maybe I'm mixed up on who's responding to who.

In the words of Roseanne Roseannadanna, "nevermind."

Lamp,

Nope..I'm still confused.

I was mocking the media frenzy surrounding this story.

But I have decided to join the throng.

Daily Taylor/Travis important news you need to know about the couple of the year.

Lamp,

"I did enjoy, and learn from, the discussions and debates I have had with BillJohnson"

Just call me Swiftie now.

Dan,

They're perfect for each other.

From what I've seen they both love being photographed and being adored by the public.

Redial,

"It will fade in two days."

Wanna bet?

Dan,

I'm sure its real love.

She's a billionaire.

Dan,

"Watch the "In The Heights" podcast."

Have we not established they are performers?

Lamp,

A little light humor...

Real men don't shave their body hair...they let it grow wild.
Real men don't shave their body hair...they use it as insulation in the cold.
Real men don't shave their body hair...they shed.
Real men don't shave their body hair...it signals testosterone and maturity.
Real men don't shave their body hair...it wicks your scent...nature's cologne.
Real men don't shave their body hair...it cuts down on friction where skin rubs.

Speak,

"How do you think a young boy who models himself after trump will act?"

Maybe celebrities and politicians don't make good role models in the first place.

Real role models should be closer to home...like a dad.

Speak,

People throw around the word "twink."

Personally, I've never felt comfortable seeing that word used.

I'm not quite sure if it's a real label or a back-handed insult or stereotype.

Or even worse, a self-deprecating word young gays use to describe themselves.

Speak,

"So what's your plan to reprogram human nature"

I don't think you can "reprogram" human nature.

We've seen plenty of examples where people have tried over the years.

So where do people really differ? Self-discipline.

Self-control or lack thereof.

American,

"What a bunch of unhappy, gullible morons."

Funny...that's what conservatives think about liberals.

There's got to be something deeper going on.

Truth,

Steve Irwin (ok)
Fred Rodgers (ok)
Dolly Parton (ok)
Robin Williams (no)
Malala Yousafzai (ok)
Shaquille O'Neal (ok)
John Cena (maybe)
LeVar Burton (maybe)
Lady Gaga (no)
Selena Gomez (no)
Keanu Reaves (no)
Emma Watson (no)
Tom Hanks (maybe)
Pedro Pascal (no)
Angelina Jolie (no)

Alex,

see #72

Truth,

I gave LeVar a maybe instead of no.

Can't you read the nuance?

Unless a kid's got a real shot at acting or singing and the bank account to match, celebs aren't good role models.

They're distractions.

Too many kids today copy singers and half-dressed actors, thinking that's success.

Nahhh. Not good role models. Most of them barely earn it. Agents cut the deals, crews do the work, and they show up for photo-ops.

Truth,

Think about it.

These celebrities can't have rugged, calloused hands or risk injuring themselves.

If you think they're out there doing real manual labor, you're falling for a carefully choreographed production.

Speak,

Enough.

Your Trump Derangement Syndrome is showing.

Truth,

"He is addressing it through therapy, openness and coping mechanisms like grounding and meditation."

I'm not unfamiliar with the topic.

Good for him.

Odd career for his condition.

But you have my opinion about actors being role models.

If you really want to act for the sake of acting, power to you.

Corky,

#99.

Is that intended to mock my sexual orientation?

Funny how people don't get it.

They think they do but they don't.

Corky,

oops #98

Clown,

"100 posts about Taylor Swift getting married?"

Just wait...by the time they go on their honeymoon you're going to be sick of it.

They make good media fodder.

Truth,

John Cena got a maybe.

I'm sure he's a solid guy and qualifies for being a "real man."

But in my estimation, he's not a realistic role model.

He's too wrapped up in the world of staged violence.

Corky,

Back in the day I was waaayy better looking than Freddie.

At my height I stuck out like a sore thumb.

Kinda tough when you're actually an introvert.

Truth,

Being a good person doesn't automatically qualify them as role models, in my opinion.

There's just more to it than that.

It's entirely subjective.

Just drop the subject.

I'm in a crappy mood and it's coming thru in my posts.

Truth,

"I simply cannot comprehend your outlook on life"

My thoughts are not easy to comprehend for me too, sometimes.

Fortunately I get good feedback from people who care about me.

This site, at times, provides a different kind of feedback, to test my ideas.

Also, I get a better picture where conservatives and liberals clash. Gives me food for thought.

But at other times, it's not fun. The Travis/Taylor thing could have been fun. I guess my sense of humor tracks differently.

I mean,,,come on...what a show this is becoming. Everyone who has any connection to it is milky it.

All about $$$

Eb,

"They'd all be nullified by their political stance."

And people accuse me of not seeing the big picture.

You don't know me. That's not how I roll.

No one on that list did I look up their political beliefs.

Eb,

"you're watching TV and tears flowing down your face as you're seeing Cena on TV"

I watch very little regular TV. Morning weather and I record a few things OTA using my Tablo OTA dvr.

I am able to buzz past all commercials on it.

I watch almost nothing ever that makes me watch ads. I do peek at CNN to see what distortions they're peddling and Foxnews to see more accurate info. They have people interviewed both liberal viewpoints and, of course, conservative.

I skip over any starving dogs or starving people when I watch TV. I just don't want those visual images in my head. I know its out there and not a thing I can do about it.

I don't think I've ever heard Cena speak.

Internet is my primary source of news and my wife. Truthfully her brilliance is amazing. She's a walking encyclopedia. Always reading something. We met at a library 40+ years ago.

Sounds like Cena does good things but I don't like watching people fight even though I know it's mostly scripted.

Not my idea of a role model, regardless how many starving people commercials he makes probably asking for money.

Snoofy,

You're wrong.

I don't care about most people's political persuasion.

I try to ignore that sort of stuff.

I prefer not knowing their views.

Really...a view actors or singers have piqued my interest.

Robert DeNiro has soured me now knowing he's a pompous ---.

Snoofy,

After all is said and done, Jan 6 is one of the few things liberals have to hang their hat on.

Stick a fork in it, it's done.

Time to fix dinner. My turn.

Eb,

"You didn't hate him until"

Who used the word "hate"?

All I said was I "soured" on him.

I lost respect for him.

Meaning...watching him in movies now I lost the ability to suspend reality.

Eb,

I forgot to say it.

Yet another strawman.

Speak,

De Niro can't seem to resist dropping the f word on live broadcasts and leaving censors scrambling.

It's the same arrogance you saw when Will Smith smacked Chris Rock or when Kanye West hijacked Taylor Swift's award. Celebrities thinking their fame exempts them from the rules "little people" follow.

But of course, you'll claim it's just about Trump. And that's exactly the problem.

You think it's fine because De Niro aimed it at Trump during the Tonys. You say I'm just upset because it was Trump. It was poor taste and classless.

That's when his image soured for me. Not politics but the smug sense of entitlement many of the rich and famous exhibit.

And don't bore me with whatabout Trump. I respect the office of the President. End of story.

Corky,

You seem to forget Democrats forgot they're supposed to run somebody with a brain.

Corky,

Dementia Joe and Cackles.

Ask Kamala a serious question about world affairs and she'll cackle and say "You know...the thing about foreign policy is, it's like learning to cook rice. Where I grew up, you had to stir it, or it burned".

And Joe...you have to wake him up first.

Corky,

The DNC didn't care.

They had the auto-pen.

Laura,

What will you be saying when JD is President?

He is a well rounded decent person.

You should watch Ron Howard's movie made about his early life.

Howard made the movie when Vance worked in finance and not in politics yet.

Interestingly....there is one scene in the movie where JD was a young boy watching TV at his house.

His family was making a racket and he told everyone to hush down...he was trying to watch Al Gore on TV.

You could the screen in the movie and sure enough, there was Al Gore.

Ron Howard wouldn't have known JD Vance was going to be the VP himself someday.

Corky,

Politicians understand the concept of working together for a common goal.

Imagine Marco Rubio telling Trump "you called me little Marco...I don't want to work with you".

Leave it to liberals.

Unforgiving, inflexible, thin-skinned to think everyone thinks like that.

Corky,

Vance is a decent sort.

I could easily believe Vance might find Trump's personality grating.

But they have a job to do and don't have time for nonsense.

What does that say about Trump to make someone his VP assuming what you said is true?

Corky,

"What does that say about Trump?"

It says he's a leader.

Remember the Republican primary debate when the candidates were being called to the stage?

Ben Carson missed his cue and just stood there in the wings. One by one, we watched the others walk right past him without a word.

But when Trump's name was called, he didn't blow by. He walked up, stood next to Carson, and waited for Carson to go first.

That's what a leader does.
