Hillary’s Quick Service Pay for Play

From even the non, too non-partisan (it really makes sense) Washington Post we find, “More than half of Clinton Foundation’s major donors would be barred under new rule“.

More than half of the Clinton Foundation’s major donors would be prevented from contributing to the charity under the self-imposed ban on corporate and foreign Hillary_Drive-Through_Pay_For_Playdonors the foundation said this week it would adopt if Hillary Clinton won the White House, according to a new Washington Post analysis of foundation donations.

The findings underscore the extent to which the Clintons’ sprawling global charity has come to rely on financial support from industries and overseas interests, a point that has drawn criticism from Republicans and some liberals who have said the donations represent conflicts of interest for a potential president.

Are You Talkin’ To Me? About Me? To Me?

From Yahoo News this bit of bizarre, “Donald Trump is ‘totally nuts,’ says Robert de Niro“.  I know.  Mr. de Niro simply portrays a series of crazed, nutbags bent on mayhem.  Quite skillfully portrays, I might add.  And with great insight and sensitivity, tossed in with a measure of menace, too.

SARAJEVO (Reuters) – U.S. actor and producer Robert De Niro said on Saturday that U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump should DeNiro_What_Did_I_Tell_Younot run for president because he was “totally nuts”.

Trump, a billionaire businessman seeking his first public office, has courted controversy with a string of inflammatory statements about his main opponent Hillary Clinton, guns, Mexicans, Muslims and war veterans, among others.

De Niro made the comments to a Sarajevo audience as he presented a digital version of Martin Scorsese’s film “Taxi Driver”, in which he starred, to mark its 40th anniversary.

Am I the only one to note how ironic these comments are coming on the 40th anniversary of “Taxi Driver” in which he was a true wackjob?   Now who’s talkin’ to you, Bob?

Pope Says “Screw Borders”

From the Pope’s mouth to your ears, “We don’t need no ‘effing borders”.  Well maybe not in those exact words, but here’s what he did say.  According to the AP, “Pope [says] to young on Poland trip: Believe ‘in a new humanity’“.

Pope_Vatacan_Wall_02“People may judge you to be dreamers, because you believe in a new humanity, one that rejects hatred between peoples, one that refuses to see borders as barriers and can cherish its own traditions without being self-centered or small-minded,” Francis told his flock, many of them in their late teens, 20s or 30s.

But the Pope is a “do as I say, not as I do” kind of guy….err, Pope.  See what I mean.  These are the walls he lives behind.

And don’t get me started on guns…
