The inundation of off-color texts was so large the city had to temporarily shut down the service.
One caller phoned in a tip that de Blasio was seen performing oral sex on someone “in an alleyway behind a 7-11.”
That proved to be inaccurate, but having worked a quarter of a century in the convenience store industry, I can explain why. People can’t tell convenience stores apart, so they tend to call them all 7-Eleven. De Blasio was actually blowing a guy behind a Tesco.
These political scientists have concluded that the coronavirus could impact the national political landscape, with the net result being harmful to conservatives. The logic:
– Older voters are more likely to die from coronavirus.
– Older voters are more likely to vote for Trump.
– The significant fatalities in Pennsylvania and Michigan, for example, could lose Trump enough voters to swing those states blue.
In my opinion, that is completely inaccurate.
Several reasons:
Even if all their assumptions were true, the math doesn’t work. As it currently stands, the death toll in Pennsylvania is likely to be no more than 5,000. Even assuming 4,000 of those are elderly (based on the national trend that 80% of fatalities are aged 65 or more), that would consist of about 2,200 Republicans and 1,800 democrats – a swing of only 400 votes. And that estimate is on the high end because there will likely be fewer than 5,000 fatalities, and Trump is likely to get less than 55% of the elderly vote against Biden (the red team won the 2018 mid-terms by only two points in the 65+ demographic). So the real swing may be just a couple hundred votes, even granting their assumptions.
But their assumptions are not valid. The major problem with their hypothesis lies in a fact they have ignored – that the outbreak disproportionately affects urban minorities – and those voters are overwhelmingly blue, even among the elderly. In the 2018 mid-term elections, elderly black voters voted 88% blue!
Here’s how the math works out, based on the 2018 mid-terms, considering only the lump sum of black voters plus white voters, and temporarily ignoring latinos, asians and others. I’m going to call that black/white elderly group the population sample, so I don’t have to keep retyping the above explanation each time:
Among people aged 65 and older, the ratio of white voters to black is 11-1.
White voters over 65 vote 57-43 red.
Black voters over 65 vote 88-12 blue.
Therefore:
If corona kills both races proportionately to the number of voters, then 53% of the deaths in the population sample will be Republicans.
BUT
If elderly black voters are 16% of the deaths instead of the 8% they represent in the population sample, then the majority of the deaths will be Democrats.
It is absolutely no stretch to think that the percentage of elderly people to die from corona in that population sample will be more than 16% black, possibly far more.
The crazy high percentage of black people who vote Democratic is the very reason why Republicans strive so mightily to keep them from the polls, and why even a slightly higher percentage of black people in any group can turn the group’s majority from red to blue.

Here’s A .gif of the scene and a look at what the Starrs look like recently
Mickey Mantle once slipped a female reporter a cutesy greeting card during an interview — with the message “Wanna fuck?” written inside.
“As the evening wore on and Mantle kept drinking, he became tipsy and, at one point, nearly fell off his chair. Later, as we walked along Central Park South, he tripped on the curb at Sixth Avenue and — for one fleeting moment — oh, God — there was my hero, lying in the gutter.”
Here is an entire web page solely dedicated just to this subject, and the image quality is pretty good for an audience cam-job.

Once again Brainscan takes a deep dive into a forgotten chapter in the history of film nudity: the grindhouse era. Brainscan alone created all the commentary and collages, as well as the myriad of film clips that accompany this article in the members’ version of the Fun House.
During the mid-1960’s most of the movies shown in grind houses were New York productions that addressed subjects that were grim and gritty – with titles that announced the fact – and that starred the same group of actresses from one film to another.
Maureen Gafney in One Shocking Moment
and Lorna Maitland in a couple of Russ Meyer films.

Lorna Maitland in Mondo Topless (1966)
But much more common were brunettes in just about everything else, and foremost among them from 1964 to 1966 were Darlene Bennett and June Roberts.
Ms. Bennett has 34 credits on IMDb, including both full-length movies and short films, all within the period of 1963 to 1969. In a couple of the shorts, she appears with her sister, Dawn. That is true for 1966’s Double Trouble, which has the distinction of feeding three of the prime fantasies of your typical 60’s American man. 1) A guy stumbles onto a semi-clothed gal (Dawn Bennett) who seems utterly unaware of his presence; 2) The guy and gal hit it right off, so she invites him up to her apartment; 3) The guy, the gal and her sister (Darlene) wind up in bed together. Tis the trifecta of every man’s dreams.
which co-starred Judy Adler, one the most attractive women to ever star in grindhouse fare.
I don’t know much about The Beast because I did not work on it. The collages were from a decade-old post by a retired imager who called himself Unique1 – all I did was balance the color a bit and add the names.
I did watch Darlene and Judy’s other 1965 effort, Sin Syndicate, and I am sorry for it. The movie is a sordid, miserable mess that qualifies as a roughie – usually not my cup of tea, but the star power was too great an allure. Darlene is in a lesbian-lite scene with Marlene Eck (neither party disrobes)
Sin Syndicate also has an actress named Yolanda Moreno,who plays a stripper with pointy pasties in one scene
And Judy Adler – cute as can be – is in the roughest of scenes by herself
and in a long shower scene with June Roberts.
Those movies included Flesh and Lace,
The Girl From Sin,
My Brother’s Wife,
The Sexploiters.
and Rent-a-Girl
Also noteworthy in the June Roberts classics are:
Darlene Bennett, who was featured in Rent-a-Girl,
and Gigi Darlene, whose challenge in The Sexploiters was to strip out of her clothes while eating ice cream – the gal had talent.
By the end of 1966, the winds of change were blowing at gale force. Mainstream movies shown at reputable theaters began to include nude scenes and hardcore movies began to show up at places that might get raided now and again, but that offered the viewer much more than shower scenes shot from the waist up or lesbian scenes in which neither party got out of her clothes. Grindhouse movies would have two more years – 1967 and 1968 – to use the same formulas that had brought in customers for a while, but they would need to go much farther in the years that followed if they wanted to keep those customers.
