Perhaps he became permanently morose after he removed two women from the planet in a road accident in Ireland 20 years ago, in which he allegedly was driving on the wrong side of the road. The incident was quickly papered over after he dispatched attorneys carrying a very large check to the family of the women.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-30453469423231918742011-11-12T13:35:59.073-08:002011-11-12T13:35:59.073-08:00I was also surprised at the Broderick dig.

It seems a little harsh, especially from one of the nicest people I've - sort of - come to know, and, certainly, the nicest person in the blogosphere.<br /><br />I'll admit that I haven't seen the Music Man, nor many of Broderick's other movies in the past decade or two, so you certainly have more knowledge of his career. (I will say, however, that Election helped inspire me to move to the outermost fringe of the DC suburbs to avoid people like the girl in that movie.) But even if they're God awful, I'm not sure that I can understand the vitriol toward him.<br /><br />My point here isn't so much to defend Broderick but to try and figure out the animosity. Again, it's just so at odds with the usual Steve Sailer. It's like evil Steve with his goatee wrote the entry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-20494221985267608742011-11-10T12:23:06.563-08:002011-11-10T12:23:06.563-08:00Did you ever see Matthew Broderick as Professor Ha...<i>Did you ever see Matthew Broderick as Professor Harold Hill in The Music Man on TV in 2003?</i><br /><br />No, was he horrible?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-85815564716973973832011-11-10T10:18:53.440-08:002011-11-10T10:18:53.440-08:00"Being a bastard product of an unmarried whit..."Being a bastard product of an unmarried white woman and a nonwhite man seems to contribute to success." <br /><br />"The Syrian father looks pretty white to me."<br /><br />Of course he was white. These fussy definitions are so limiting. I blame the National Socialist Party. They were a fussbudget bunch when it came to racial definitions and that didn't lead anywhere that we want to be. <br /><br />Re various whitish folk, I think of Darwin describing the trait of blushing as it occurs (or doesn't) in different races, he noted that blushing among middle eastern people presented much the same as among Europeans, which was not surprising considering the "general similarity" between Europeans and many, perhaps most, persons in the middle east. I'm paraphrasing, but that's the gist.Charlottenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-28321876731922165032011-11-10T08:23:49.863-08:002011-11-10T08:23:49.863-08:00"No no, don't stop there.

Ever since I've noticed how true this is. If the commercial is a) not about another show or movie and b) has more than one live person in it, the chances there's at least one black in it is probably better than 50%. What I've also noticed is that companies that are liberal by reputation seem to have fewer blacks.<br /><br />The irony is that viewers may be getting so fed up of black overcasting in movies that by the time they get to seeing something they have to pay for they don't care to bother. And I'm getting really annoyed at having to watch black actors cast in professions that in real life they almost never perform.<br /><br /><b>"I don't know who the funniest actor of all time is"</b><br /><br />Jim Carrey is definitely in the top 10.

He was about 20 and the funniest thing on the stage by far. He introduced me to such choice samples of New York ethnic joshing as “busier than a pair of jumper cables at a Puerto Rican picnic.” <br /><br />After rocking the audience with laughter by riffing through all of New York’s ethnic groups and their loveable idiosyncrasies, Murphy did a Polish joke. I don’t remember the joke, but this blonde guy, apparently Polish and certainly built like a linebacker, stood up, broke a beer bottle and started walking toward the stage with a dangerous shred of the bottle in his hand. <br /><br />Management was prepared. Two large guys rushed Murphy off the stage while two others, equally robust, surrounded the Polish kill-joy.<br /><br />When I left about a half-hour later, Murphy was sitting at a table in the back sipping a drink.
