Everyone is back, including Christina Hendricks, on AMC’s Mad Men.

Christina Hendricks: the chick that mostly everyone loves to hate; except that she portrays a truthfulness that most people will never admit in public but inherently know: zaftig and voluptuous women are loved and admired. Red haired, 5’8″, 150 lbs +. Check. [Green dress above.]

In essence, despite decades of bullshit fashion magazines and brainwashing: real women actually do have curves and extra padding.

And curves and extra padding are way cool. Something more to hang onto in tenuous times.

Women: no matter what so-called “popular culture” portrays, actual men want actual women with curves — not Dachau survivors subsisting on 40 grams of gruel a day and less than a pint of water. Read into that as you will. Comment forum provided.

Real Men know that Real Women aren’t perfect. Because neither are Real Men.

Real Men don’t want “perfection.” They just want Real Women.

Not women with Angelie Jolie fake inflatable lips, or Beshine/MayaHills breasts.

Real, actual women.

If you haven’t, check out AMC’s Mad Men. Racist, sexist, quirky, confusing, eminently satisfying and entertaining when glimpsed in the “then-day” environment in which it is fashioned.

It’s fascinating if for no other reason than a contrast of the promulgated “then” and “now.”

My, how we have changed.

Some, for good.

More than “some,” I think, for bad.

P.S.
I first encountered Christina Hendricks on one of my all-time highest rated (but shortest-lived) sci-fi TV series ever: “Firefly” — as the character “Saffron.” See below photo.

It can’t be more clear than this, I submit.

Can you possibly imagine what a second unfettered and unhinged term would produce from Mr Obama?

In a backwards stance, it seems the planet is falling down all about our ears:

• Hoodie-wearing gunmen kill 1, wound 5 in Chicago; all were black;
• Al Sharpton cries ESCALATE, in direct contravention of Martin Luther King;
• Conservatism linked to “low brainpower“;
• Climate change skepticism is a “sickness that must be treated“;
• UK held in thrall of “petroleum emergency“;

That said, when Peggy Noonan in a WSJ Editorial calls Mr Obama “creepy,” and writes that “Obama increasingly comes across as devious and dishonest,” the paradigm and the narrative and the meme has somehow changed:

What is happening is that the president is coming across more and more as a trimmer, as an operator who’s not operating in good faith. This is hardening positions and leading to increased political bitterness. And it’s his fault, too. As an increase in polarization is a bad thing, it’s a big fault.

Events of just the past 10 days have contributed to the shift. There was the open-mic conversation with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in which Mr. Obama pleaded for “space” and said he will have “more flexibility” in his negotiations once the election is over and those pesky voters have done their thing. On tape it looked so bush-league, so faux-sophisticated. When he knew he’d been caught, the president tried to laugh it off by comically covering a mic in a following meeting. It was all so . . . creepy.

If you jumped into a time machine to the day after the election, in November, 2012, and saw a headline saying “Obama Loses,” do you imagine that would be followed by widespread sadness, pain and a rending of garments? You do not. Even his own supporters will not be that sad. It’s hard to imagine people running around in 2014 saying, “If only Obama were president!” Including Mr. Obama, who is said by all who know him to be deeply competitive, but who doesn’t seem to like his job that much. As a former president he’d be quiet, detached, aloof. He’d make speeches and write a memoir laced with a certain high-toned bitterness. It was the Republicans’ fault. They didn’t want to work with him.

This is a, truly, devastating piece. And yet an honest piece. Noonan was an early ObamaCon from the start and then, now, with her newest editorial, she writes from a position that indicates a visceral disagreement.

Not good for Mr Obama.

Looks like Blogger is going to mandate an upgrade very shortly in April.

I’ve already been asked to view my Blogger Dashboard in another fashion.

Parents of murdered British students criticise Barack Obama

The parents of two British students murdered in Florida have criticised President Barack Obama for his lack of compassion over their son’s deaths.

Check the article at the UK Telegraph.com.

But the overarching and larger question remains, in terms of considering the current situation with Trayvon Martin in Florida:

What is it that makes Trayvon Martin more “valuable” — a single life — to our American President as opposed to the two lives of visiting UK students?

You and I both know the answer: political racial fodder. As the article indicates:

It would perhaps appear that Mr Obama sees no political value in facilitating such a request or that the lives of two British tourists are not worthy of ten minutes of his time.”

Mr Obama can make more political hay over the death of a 17-year-old black male than he can over two elitist, spoiled, junket-traveling UK white kids.

Finally, allow me to get even more base: Mr Obama claims he is black and panders to blacks. He can conjure a bit of black patois when he wishes and can conjure complete Caucasoid speech when he wishes, at command. This hypocrisy arises solely because, in my opinion, Mr Obama is at his core a racist who favors blacks, plain and simple — though he cannot be so plain as to alarm the bulk of Brain-Dead America.

He lets Eric Holder do his prejudiced works as well.

So: a shock that a racist 17-year-old black convicted murderer is shuttled aside in favor of a 17-year-old black male “victim” placed on the DEM/MSM proverbial “front street”?

This should come as no shock whatsoever.

Mr Obama, in my opinion, is a racist who plays to racial black-favored politics, plain and simple. Don’t listen to his stilted words, America. Watch what he does or, in this case, doesn’t do.
