Look at the facts of the world. You see a continual and progressive triumph of the right. I do not pretend to understand the moral universe, the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways. I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. But from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice. | | | | F You Roy Moore. F You Trump. Thank you, Alabama. Patricia Arquette is Alabama Whitman in "True Romance". 1993.

| | rantnrave:// What kind of country is this when a racist, child-f***ing dinosaur can't win a Senate seat?... Just when you lost faith in humanity. A glimmer. I may stick around a little longer... ROY MOORE lost on the first night of HANUKKAH. Mazel Tov to his lawyer... Blue state. Red state. Wrong ideas. Last night was about good over evil... FOX NEWS calls GEORGE WALLACE. Wallace has won... I called it at the election results: "Would be shocked if Moore concedes. Jew-hating racists that f*** children usually don't concede." Oh, and Moore is not a fan of bitcoin... Be happy. But don't take a victory lap. That's when your house gets robbed. This is the 1st step in the war for basic decency, morality, and justice. Never let up. Never. Ever. It doesn't end here. Any politician that supported Moore has to go. Done. No mercy. Part of clean-up. And then there's the orange monster. This is a moment, not the end. Don't gloat. EPA. Supreme court. And on and on... Cry and smile... HULK HOGAN vs. ANDRE THE GIANT. THE MONDAY NIGHT WARS. THE ATTITUDE ERA. THE ROCK and STONE COLD. The WRESTLEMANIA moments, heel turns and feuds that took wrestling from regional shows to global tours in "Off the Top Rope: Wrestling Oral Histories"... PATAGONIA has achieved mythic success by making a social mission intrinsic to its profitability. Now going on 45 years in business, the company is making bold political statements—and it's more fashionable than ever. FashionSET: "When Purpose Drives Profits: Patagonia’s Ascent"... Happy Birthday to NANCY TELLEM, WALTER DELPH, HILARY MASON, LESLEY VECSLER, FRANK RADICE, ROBERT BRETT, RACHEL PETERS, RICHIE HEDAYA, and DAVID DORN. Belated to NICK ROCKWELL, EMMA KRIKORIAN, DAVID LAWEE, and DIANE MAYER . | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
