The winners of the 2018 Bulwer-Lytton bad fiction contest
“Dreaded Pirate Larry was somewhat worried, as he looked down at his boot, where his first mate was stretched out, making whooshing sounds, attempting to blow him over, that despite having the fastest ship, the most eye patches, and the prettiest parrots, his crew may need a few lessons on the difference between literal and figurative, as evidenced by the rest of the crew applying ice to the timbers.”
Trump’s approval ratings continue their decline
IN IDB/TIPP he dropped five points, from 41 to 36, in the past month. His support among Republicans dropped from 83% to 76%.
Two other new polls show almost identical results (36 and 37).

Margot Robbie’s full frontal in Wolf of Wall St. – slo-mo; color-corrected
And hot. Did mention “hot”? This placed #6 among the Top Nude Scenes of 2014. This scene would have been #1 in most years, but 2014 was the most competitive year in the history of our polls. Scarlett Johansson walked around stark naked for several minutes and still could not win the poll, which went to La Daddario, for her incredible appearance in True Detective.
Eva Green topless in the Camelot series
She played the evil Morgan le Fay. I kinda liked that series, but I think I was just about alone in that camp.
Mary Louise Weller undresses in perhaps the most famous scene from Animal House
One of the best Belushi stories I have read occurred after his untimely death. Somebody placed a sign on his tombstone saying. “He could have given us a lot more laughter … but n-o-o-o-o-o-o …”
Esme Bianco naked in Crowley (2008)
You know her name from several scenes in the earlier seasons of Game of Thrones. In fact, at the very end of the above Crowley .gif is a very brief cut-in from the very first episode of GoT.
Bettie Page and a big hairy pussy
Or, to be more precise, with two beautiful big hairy pussies.
Another icon of the Democratic Party has fallen
Following on the heels of Ocasio-Cortez, another unheralded minority female has unseated a long-term white male Democratic congressman. It was Ayanna Pressley defeating Michael Capuano, and this time the race was not close. Capuano held a 13-point lead in early August, but ended up behind by 18 (with almost all votes counted).

Twitter says Trump not immune from getting kicked off
It is fair to say that he constantly violates their terms of service, and should not be given special treatment, but … there are good arguments from both directions to allow him to continue:
On the right hand, his supporters argue that Twitter is an important source of his communication with his core audience outside the biased filters of the media.
On the left hand, many detractors argue that Twitter is Trump’s waiver of the Fifth Amendment, so let him rant! While he could not be compelled to incriminate himself in a trial, he does it regularly on Twitter, and many of those Tweets will later haunt him in criminal and civil proceedings.
Bob Woodward: Trump’s aides stole his papers ‘to protect the country’
“Woodward offers a devastating portrait of a dysfunctional Trump White House, detailing how senior aides — both current and former Trump administration officials — grew exasperated with the President and increasingly worried about his erratic behavior, ignorance and penchant for lying.”
Chief of staff John Kelly describes Trump as an “idiot” and “unhinged,” Woodward reports. Defense Secretary James Mattis describes Trump as having the understanding of “a fifth or sixth grader.” And Trump’s former personal lawyer John Dowd describes the President as “a fucking liar,” telling Trump he would end up in an “orange jump suit” if he testified to special counsel Robert Mueller.
“The book also has stunning new details about Trump’s obsession with the Russia probe, describing for the first time confidential conversations between the President’s lawyers and Mueller. It recounts a dramatic session in the White House residence in which Trump failed a mock Mueller interview with his lawyers.”
“Dowd and Trump’s current personal attorney Jay Sekulow went to Mueller’s office and re-enacted the mock interview. Their goal: to argue that Trump couldn’t possibly testify because he was incapable of telling the truth.”
“A recurrent theme in Woodward’s book is Trump’s seeming disregard for national security concerns because of his obsession with money — trade deficits and the cost of troops overseas.”
