I AIN’T AFRAID OF NO FEMALE GHOST
Even though Hollywood should be shut down permanently, that is not likely to happen soon, so filmmakers should at least be restrained by federal law from ever producing sequels or remakes again.

Apparently one Ghostbusters wasn’t enough. Nor was two. Now comes a new one”€”simply called Ghostbusters“€”with the twist being that the quartet of Ghostbusters all have vaginas rather than penises. Writing in the LA Times, Andi Zeisler states that all feminists have an “obligation” to see the new all-vagina version. And in the Washington Post, Ann Hornaday opines that “Going to see the all-female ‘Ghostbusters’ is now a political act.”

You know what would be a truly radical act for a female writer or filmmaker? To write a book or make a movie that has nothing to do with being a female. We’re still waiting for evidence that this is indeed possible. Same goes for all you black writers and gay writers. Y’all need some new material.

But since women are the only ones who believe in ghosts anyway, an all-female Ghostbusters can hardly be deemed problematic or unrealistic.

BILL KRISTOL’s FRENCH MISTAKE
Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol’s father Irving is known as the “Godfather of Neoconservatism,” which would make Bill the “First Baby of Neoconservatism.”

For months now the failed yet incomprehensibly self-important nebbish has been leading the quixotic and doomed “Never Trump” movement, which has been moving with all the lithe agility of a garden snail. The chief goal of the “movement” is to select a “true conservative” (i.e., someone who will trade American lives for Israeli dollars) third-party candidate to siphon away votes from Donald Trump and hand the election to warmongering AIPAC puppet Hillary Clinton. Rumored candidates Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan reportedly demurred Kristol’s offers.

On May 29 Kristol burped up the following teaser via Twitter:

Just a heads up over this holiday weekend: There will be an independent candidate—an impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance.

The “impressive” candidate that Kristol unveiled last week was National Review blogger and Chris Elliott lookalike David French. And beyond no apparent charisma, leadership skills, political experience, or national name recognition, French hasn’t even formally consented to Kristol’s recruitment.

Even though French previously had stated that he’d vote for Trump if he were the GOP nominee, he recently revealed that within his ribcage beats the cowardly heart of a thoroughly gelded cuck:

The leaders of the party that ended slavery now endorse a man who bullies women, lies habitually, and incites violence. My heart breaks.

Despite Kristol’s proclamations, French has zero chance and no apparent team, much less a “strong” one. And that, ladies and gents, is what’s known in showbiz as “doin’ the French mistake.”
