Writing and Election Notes

We had a great hour on the treadmill yesterday and our knee feels fine. 

Yesterday we worked on the Aussie F-111 scenes in The Final Storm and things are coming along slowly. But we have an almost-rough draft ready and it occurs to us that there are two aerial attacks scenes to write. 

Writing the above we realized we have to re-write the SAS attack scene. If reader(s) can't figure out where they're headed they haven't been paying much attention. If a West German teenager can do it, why not the SAS? The MS already approaches 60,000 words. This is gonna be a big one. 

As noted previously, November is get The Great Nuclear War of 1975 ready for formatting month. We started a trio of scenes about a pair of officers from Looking Glass writing a report on the nuclear war. This will be the readership's lone window into the events of those 48 hours. The 3rd scene will be 75's epilogue and we know the last line. 

Election Day!

In New Jersey, The latest poll shows Murphy beating Jack 50-42, which sounds about right, give or take. A solid win but no landslide. 

We have schoolboard elections here in Bridgewater. The Bridgewater Breeze published this handy election guide. This blog endorses Richard Myers and anyone who isn't Stacey Friedlander for school board. Myers once complemented our hat (you know which one) outside of a school function. Friedlander is the kind of annoying busy body who will correct anything one posts on local FB groups. 

Moving down south, the last poll we saw on Virginia had Glen Youngkin up 3 points. Political prognosticators have moved Virginia to 'lean GOP'. Can the VA GOP stop the steal this time? We shall see. This blog does not expect to know who won on election night.

Huma Abedin, Anthony Weiner's ex wife and Hillary!'s long time PA/lover, is back in the news. The Hill reports, 'When asked on NBC’s “Today” if she would ever run for office, Abedin cited television producer Shonda Rhimes, telling host Savannah Guthrie, “This is my year of saying yes. I’m not saying no to anything.'

Long ago we predicted Huma would run for office.

Huma should run for her husband's old congressional seat.

Think about it. For starters she's got the Islamist vote sown up. She'll also has the self loathing Jew vote locked away. The careerist gals of her district will looooove this.

Think of the media bio: put upon, wronged woman runs for office. How many of the harpies reading the teleprompter at WCBS, WNBC and WABC have the same bio? I bet its most of them. The press is going to looooove this story. It writes itself, no? Lord knows these people can't do any writing themselves.

She'll win.

From there the options just open up. Independent congressmuslim. Permanent seat in Congress held as personal property ala Adam Clayton Powell or Charles Rangel or stepping stone to higher office. Two branches there, either mayor of NYC (oh there's a story) or US Senate. The later is a race to see who can get in position to replace Chuck Schummer, our own Huma or Web Hubell's daughter Chelsea.

 

Saving Private Abedin

Huma Abedin, Hillary!'s young lesbian concubine, is about to suffer the fate of all those no longer of use to the Clintons. She should ask Lani Guinier, Joycelyn Elders, Webb Hubbel, Bill Richardson and host of others what happens next.

Huma is about to be cast out into the wasteland by the coldest, most heartless, reptilian, ice-villain to ever slither out from under the rocks.

To be sure we are talking about a Saudi raised and trained of somewhat limited talents. Huma knows all the right people, in this case the Clintons, but they no longer want to know Huma.

Despite never holding a real job, and never having to make her own way, Huma does have options or option I should say.

Huma should run for her husband's old congressional seat.

Think about it. For starters she's got the Islamist vote sown up. She'll also has the self loathing Jew vote locked away. The careerist gals of her district will looooove this.

Yes, your humble writer will just looooove that!

So go for it Huma. You know all the right people in NYC and the Muslim Brotherhood. I'll support you.

I'm Huma Abedin and I approved this message!

Notes on Huma Abedin in the Wiener Doc

What is Huma Abedin? She has spent 20 years as a high profile gofer for Hillary Clinton. Bill officiated her wedding. Hillary says Huma is her second daughter. Both of her parents were highly educated members of the Pakistani elite. Her mother is a college prof.

Huma has no accent, which seems strange for someone who spent so much of her youth in Saudi Arabia.

Huma is classically beautiful with a pretty face, well made, and hourglass figure. She dresses the way this middle-aged father hopes his three daughters will one day dress, in a feminine way, but with nothing too short or tight.  Huma is over all well turned out and splendidly appointed.

Through most of the doc, Huma never seems to crack an actual smile. There are times when we see her teeth, when she is baring her teeth to show happiness, but she never quite brings the corners of her mouth up.

She seems to maintain a certain distance from the camera, from the campaign staff, from Anthony.

She seems oddly distant to her husband. The only real incidence of spousal intimacy we see occurs in an elevator when she asked him about his pants and tugs at the pocket.

Huma is uncomfortable in front of the camera. One scene were she reads a statement in an event called 'Women for Wiener'. It is painful, almost as if she has learned public speaking from a bad public speaker; come to think of it....she has, hasn't she?

After the scandal breaks we see Huma, humiliated and twister. It's hard to watch. She's going through an existential crisis at the extreme humiliation brought onto her by  a man who has betrayed her twice (three times now at the time of this writing). She says at one point that the scandal was, 'Like living in a nightmare'. By the end of the doc her soul has died. The most heart wrenching scene comes on election night when Sydney Leathers is attempting to ambush Carlos Danger Danger. Huma says, 'I am not going through the indignity of being confronted by this woman'.

Throughout the film Huma and Wiener deal with every matter by considering how it will look how it would seem, how would their actions play on TV that night?

A note on the staff. The office is filled primarily with young hipster types. Many of them no doubt went to the best schools, NYU, Columbia, etc. They have degrees in English (as if you needed to go 200K in debt to read Dickens), Poli-sci (even more useless), maybe Journalism help us god. They loved Stewart and Colbert, now Bee and Noah.  With one notable exception, anyone who watches will see, the young women are badly made up and don't know how to carry themselves. The men, well, I wouldn't want to be a woman sleeping next to one of these guys if I thought someone was breaking into the house.

This is the point at which we are supposed to note how bad we feel for these young idealists. Bullshit these kids are smug know-it-alls and they deserve it. Like Huma none of them seem to actually know how to do anything. Nor do any of them seem to know anything. Like Huma They went to the right schools and met the right people. They are young fixers in proximity to power, like Huma.

As noted in a previous post, Huma went to work for Hillary right after graduating. That's 20 years in proximity to the supreme power in America, the House of Clinton. She has made her career being Hillary's gofer and all around lick-spittle and trading off her proximity to power.

Soon she will not have even that.

Huma! Huma!

Well Huma Abedin is in the news again.

Huma sounds like a fish, because it is a fish. My father, back in his halcyon days, maintained a 55 gallon salt water aquarium that included a Huma Huma, or as it was known in Casa de Stroock the 'Hinga hoongi'. Vicious little thing. When one dropped the feeder fish in the tank the Huma Huma would take  a big bite out of the side and leave the rest for later. 

Tell me Huma Abedin doesn't look like that fish.

I've been fascinated by this woman lately. She's the pathetic star of the Wiener documentary. Man do we ever feel her pain.

Of course she was caught in NYC a few days after the election walking down the street in tears.

Twenty years as Hillary!'s young Lesbian lover only to end up a loser.

Huma and I have a few things in common. Like me she was a White House intern.  I was in '94, the summer before Monica.

Unlike me she parlayed this into a career, namely being Hillary!'s young Lesbian lover and gofer.

She applied to George Washington University. I applied to George Washington University.

Unlike me, Huma was accepted by GWU. I only lived there during the summers of '94 and later '95 when I interned for Senator William V. Roth.

For years now we've heard about how smart and talented is Huma. I guess. She was accepted to GWU. She was an editor at some sort of Islamic journal.

As noted above, Huma is in the news. Right now the Clinton people are turning their guns on her. She's the most vulnerable, after all. We doubt that Huma actually made any decisions during the campaign, that's not the role of young Lesbian lovers and gofers.

Well, for the first time in 20 years Huma is out in the cold. She hitched herself to her Lesbian mentor and crashed violently. Now she's got to get a job. On her talents and merits. Those are exactly?

She's about to be tossed out into the cold world by team Clinton. Poor thing. Climbing that career later only to fall off.

Maybe Anthony will catch her.
