What? . . . Anti-Christie Ads, On MY Site?!?

Woah . . . you say you've seen ANTI-Christie ads on this blog?
Really?
Right here on one of Governor Christie's favorite blogs?
Well, the ads on this site are arranged largely through Google. So, I don't completely control all the ads that appear here.
Furthermore, I don't necessarily endorse the products or services that are advertised here.
Do ads in a newspaper or magazine mean the publication supports that product, service or position? No. No way. Same here.
The powerful New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) and other unions and/or union front groups have been running ads EVERYWHERE against Governor Christie -- in newspapers, magazines, on TV, over the radio and on the internet. They're spending MILLIONS of dollars to drive down Christie's approval ratings and defeat the NJ GOP in the upcoming state legislative elections. They will stop at nothing to destroy this governor.
As I understand it, the internet ads are placed according to key words on sites. The ads go on sites that mention words like politics, Christie, New Jersey, budget, education -- those types of key words. Since we write about and talk about those topics here (and those words come up here) you'll see some of these anti-Christie ads on this site from time to time. That's the way it is. There's not a lot that I can do about it.
The damned NJEA has its tentacles everywhere -- even here.
But (in a very small way) they're also helping to pay for this site.
And nobody's being fooled when the NJEA slings its mud here, anyway. You know and I know (and most of all Governor Christie sure as hell knows) how we feel about him.
 Enough said.

Whatever Happened To Voluptuous Beauties?

Jane Russell, 1921 - 2011; RIP.

Voluptuous.
It's a term we rarely hear anymore.
But there was a time when female beauty and star-quality and sex-appeal were defined by the term.
There was a time when many of Hollywood's biggest bombshells really were voluptuous.
Jane Russel was voluptuous. And Howard Hughes knew it.
So Hughes made her a star before she even completed her first film. Via strategic publicity and countless pinups, Hughes promoted Jane Russel to the point where men the world over were salivating and women were using every tactic imaginable to look like the buxom brunette with the devilish eyes, the tempting lips and the . . . well, you know.
So fascinated was Howard Hughes with Jane Russell's ample endowments that he designed a special bra for her. And though she said she never wore the bra, Russell did later become a spokesperson for Playetx bras. She appeared in many TV commercials marketing Playtex products to "full-figured gals."
But Jane Russel was a fine actress as well. You may remember her singing with Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Or maybe you remember her sultry take in The Outlaw or her comedic turn with Bob Hope in The Paleface. In that one, Russell played Calamity Jane.
And yes, Jane Russell once appeared on Broadway. She replaced Elaine Stritch in Stephen Sondheim's Company. In that show she she got to sing the memorable "Ladies Who Lunch."
Jane Russell died yesterday at 89 of respiratory illness.
Successors? The only one who even comes close is Penelope Cruz. Now, she really is voluptuous.
But such stars are all too rare in today's Hollywood.
