Three VERY different themes for you tonight.
Representative Ilhan Omar, the fantastic human, went onto Colbert's show this week, and the interview was sensational. The reason the Right hates her (well outside of the fact she's a Muslim, woman, minority, three things the Right despises) is that she and the other freshmen Democrats have had it with the bullcrap the Republicans have been putting forward.
For example, the Republicans already know many Senate Democrats will call for the return of the filibuster the minute the Democrats regain control of the US Senate. They'll spew some stupidity about decorum and 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' ideals, but the Republicans will be laughing because they know the second they take back over again they'll get rid of it again, with stunned Democrats sputtering about some broken agreement they were the only ones to agree too.
Rep. Omar is not of that vein. She'd make sure what's good for the goose is good for the gander, as stunned Republicans scream about how the Democrats can't treat them the same way they treated the Dems.
I adore her and I'm proud she's my Representative.
Next up this week is a revisiting of the Everything Wrong With two parter of Star Wars: the Phantom Menace. With the release of the trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, let's remember how bad this franchise can be. This just makes me laugh. Watch for language.
Finally tonight, something to scare you. In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the release of Alien, there are mini Alien movies which have been produced. I've seen three of them, and this is by far the best. It is scary, and somewhat gross too.
Have a great weekend everyone.
