Eddie Marson is a superb actor, whether playing a 19th C magician, an abusive husband or a boxing promoter with Parkinson's.

The dance moves and costumes just might have worked with much darker choreographed stage lighting.

However I am afraid that nothing could have saved the singing, lyrics or playing abilities.

You already had a shameless opportunist prime minister who sold out the laïcité for a few votes:

Though the French State is secular, in recent years the government has tried to organize a representation of the French Muslims. In 2002, the then Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy initiated the creation of a "French Council of the Muslim Faith" (Conseil Français du Culte Musulman – CFCM), though wide criticism claimed this would only encourage communitarianism.

Nicolas Sarkozy's views on laïcité have been widely criticized by left- and right-wing members of parliament; more specifically, he was accused, during the creation of the CFCM, of favoring the more extreme sectors of Muslim representation in the Council, in particular the UOIF.
Sarkò has already made a deal with the devil (the Salafis). Never trust "councils" or "community leaders" in muslim communities, they're basically all Salafis.

Sarkozy is an asshat. Fucking religious cunt, profiteer, what have you.

And the clown is going to try and run for the next elections. Really, you have to laugh.

I'ts the majority, not the outlier. And that's bullshit. Huge swaths of European muslims support terrorist attacks in the West and support the primacy of Sharia law.

And I've seen that in the US on a personal basis. When I was getting divorced a muslim man tried to pull that BS and get the settlement 'his way' IAW with Sharia law in front of the wrong judge. He spent the weekend in jail for contempt and the judge let him know that either he followed the rules of the State of Tennessee or he was going to spend a lot of time in jail for contempt.

Or you can send him up to us. He will have a nice couch to sleep on, French, Italian and Polish food, and he'll be able to experience multiculturalism first hand when I send him down to the grocer.

Between the Polish, Arabic, reading French and euro-focus, I don't think you would get rid of him. I would like him to meet some of the Moroccans I met in country in the 1980s.

The argument isn't completely baseless. It's much the same as the one made for spending more on teacher salaries for science depts. because the people who have the skills you need are also in-demand in the private sector, and if you're not willing to compete with the pay those guys are offering you end up with volleyball coaches teaching evomolushuns.

That said, there's no clear skillset overlap between a programmer and a nonprofit director. And it's very fair to point out that if Silverman wants to be seen as "valuable," he needs to create some value already.

Here is an interesting statistic.

According to a study released this week in The Archives of Sexual Behavior, 81.75% of transgender people questioned suffered from some type of physical aggression during their lifetime,

Personally I am surprised that the percentage is not higher. And that number probably strongly correlates with what gender normative people experience in their lifetime. I mean who hasn't experienced that? Children without siblings? Bubble Boy?

Charles Bronson had tons of charisma, though, which Myers lacks. It's not a matter of how ugly you are, it's a matter of how confident and charismatic you are. Casanova was ugly, and his name is synonym with sexual success. Henry Kissinger was unbelievably ugly (he looked like a troll doll) and he dated some of the most beautiful women in Washington (including Jill St John, a former model). Serge Gainsbourg looked like an ape and he had sex with Brigitte Bardot, one of the most beautiful women of her time.

For a man good looks surely help, and help a lot, but aren't necessary. And Peezie isn't even so unbelievably ugly, he's just a schlub. He's not very good looking, but what makes him look ever worse are his scruffy beard, the fact that he dresses like he's straight out of Revenge of the Nerds and (let's admit it) the fact that he's overweight. If he lost a few pounds, groomed himself better and learn how to dress he could look respectable. He's never going to be a sex symbol but he's not monstrously ugly, either. Maybe when he was young he looked pretty average, and could have had more success if he were more confident, but I've seen much worse looking people with little to no confidence and many other unattractive psychological qualities get lucky from time to time, because of the law of averages if nothing else.

The most unattractive things about Peezus are his bitterness, his whining disguised as humble self-deprecation, his assholery and his impotent rage. I'm guessing that this is why he had such a hard time finding someone who liked him, but even he eventually married and had a daughter. And hey, maybe he's actually less bitter and hateful in person. Maybe he's one of those persons who deal with their asshole parts by putting them on the Internet, or maybe he's just too blinded by his radfem ideology. I've never met him, so I don't really know.

What I know is that his "poor little ugly me" shtick is getting annoying, and it looks more and more like a way to get virtual hugs from the horde and shake his virtual fist against the Evil Misogynists.

Ah, actually there is something about Peezie which is unattractive to the vast majority of potential partners: his love for tentacles and sea slugs who give a "real vulva feel". If he brought that up in high school I can understand why he was unpopular and struggled to get a date.

If my shed was like that one I'd leave the keys in the ignition and the doors unlocked in the hope that someone would drive off with it. I was actually looking forward to having a shed - I've never had a shed before - but the previous owner's junk must have been all that was holding it up. It's been cleared and is now leaning alarmingly - what my dad called a "listed building" - so I'm going to have to dismantle it before it falls down.

The full-length wardrobe in the bedroom will also need dismantled. It's one of those ones with sliding doors, only the rails are so knackered I can't get it open. On the plus side though, the previous owner did leave me the fridge, cooker and washing machine, and a single bed in the spare bedroom - I assumed I was going to need to buy those.

Next to Dearborn, Michigan, the Twin Cities of Minnesota has one of the highest concentrations of muslims in the US. I mention this because the number of religious extremists is not a fixed proportion of the religious people. The proportion that will be extremist is usually higher when the base rate of following the religion in question is higher for the area. In other words, a sort of critical mass from the religion is required to start seeing extremists.

Not at all surprising me, therefore, that this happen in the Twin Cities. (The crazies from Dearborn usually get on planes and go "play" in Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, or some other hell-hole, instead.)

There are high percentages of mental illness documented in the Somali community that has been attributed to the stress of decades of war . Likely, you would expect this in other populations like the Afghans as well. Take that, mix it with trying to adapt to a foreign culture and then add the militaristic elements of islam and it shouldn't be too surprising that this happens from time to time.

He hinted me to existence of Evil Scientist Jacoob who made white devils, since then I explored the pits of black supremacy and it made me happy, because it means we're really the same, we have our own idiots and their idiots are of the same caliber.
