The Boy With The Green Hair was a favorite when I was a child. It would play on the Saturday or Sunday movie matinee on local TV.

For those not clicking through here is the author (Rick Wilson) of the ad campaign that gave Max Cleland PTSD and destroyed his career "they didnât calculate that I have no moral center when it comes to political ads, and I will destroy the innocent and the guilty âŚâ
Basically the motto of every Republican.

âI have no moral centerâ - fixed that for you.
â The Lincoln Project has long been accused of profiteering off of anti-Trump sentiment without generating value or results. As The Inquisitr reported, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) data previously revealed that 89.3 percent of the committeeâs disbursements from November 5, 2019, to March 31, 2020, were funneled to âoperating expenditures.â Elsewhere, The Daily Beast pointed to a Priorities USA experiment that suggested The Lincoln Projectâs ads were generally not persuading voters.
In addition, OpenSecrets.org reported The Lincoln Project has faced scrutiny for focusing only a small amount of its money on political advertisements to sway voters while funneling large amounts of funds to its advisory board members.
âThe group also hides some of its vendors by stealthily paying subcontractors, making it difficult to follow the money,â the non-profit reported.â
â The scrutiny on The Lincoln Project comes not long after former member and co-founder John Weaverwas accused by 21 men of sexual harassment. Although the group claimed ignorance of the accusations and purported secret life led by Weaver, author Ryan Girdusky â who first broke the story â claimed they were lying and said they ignored the accusations until The New York Times addressed them.â

The CNN weekend quiz fairly glosses over the apartheid piece. Sounds like a real swell guy /s (yes, I know, itâs a snapshot summary)

Sad news!
Weirdly, Iâm currently watching the 4th season of JoJoâs bizarre adventure, which has characters named after musicians. This season has a characterâs power thatâs named âMoody Bluesâ⌠although for some reason in the subtitles on Netflix, they canât use that (copyright weirdness) so itâs called âMoody Jazzâ instead? But you can still hear them calling him âMoody Bluesâ⌠There is also a âSex Pistolsâ but itâs called âSix bulletsââŚ
