Rules regarding hypocrisy

[Contrary1]

From Helen:

If it were up to me, I would establish a few rules right about now regarding hypocrisy. Something along the lines of:

•If you’re Michael Jackson’s father now is not the time to be enjoying the limelight.

•You can’t be Pro-Life and Pro-War at the same time. If one of these dispositions has to be in your cadre, then pick one and live with the consequences.

•You can’t deny the right to marry to some and then cheat on your spouse. The right to happily marry belongs to all no mater how unhappy it makes you.

•You can’t tolerate the atrocities of one President for eight years and then assign the consequences to one who follows. From this day forward everything was Reagan’s fault.

•The Christian Right should be forced to spend a week in Iran. May the best radicals win.

•The Real Housewives should actually be housewives.


About that last one. I mean it. Really.

1. I love housewives who don't work, who have a maid, who have a nanny.

It more closely resembles something else, but I can't quite think of the word.

3. I'm always amused at the opening of "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House"

It shows Cary Grant and Myrna Loy getting up in the morning. In order to set the theme for the Blandings move to a new house in rural Connecticut, they have to be enduring discomfort in their Manhattan apartment. Anyway, Grant arises after the alarm clock goes off, and dresses to go to work. There are the usual situations of cramped closets, occupied bathrooms, etc. Everything that would drive a New Yorker to Connecticut.

As Loy attempts to "wake up," her maid is making coffee and preparing breakfast! :rofl: It's a tough life!

(Don't get me wrong--I love Loy's movies, but I had to laugh at this portrayal!)

4. Yeah, Lucy gets a maid for a 900 square foot walk-up. A strange time in entertainment.

But look at what they did back then with the "stage accents" and the ridiculous characterizations of the classes.
