Nicki Minaj declares “I am the new Harriet Tubman”

She would look better than Tubman on the $20 bill.

“Nicki compared Tubman’s missions to rescue enslaved people on the ‘Underground Railroad’ to her mission to get streaming to be included in chart sales.”

Seems comparable to me. I’ve often said that my mission to define and identify screen nudity is comparable to Aristotle’s efforts to define and identify moral virtue. Clearly I am the new Aristotle.

… as further evidenced by the fact that, according to Aristotle in his Poetics, comedy originated with the komos, a bizarre ancient spectacle in which a collection of males apparently sang, danced, and cavorted around the image of a giant penis. (Cpmedy gold! They were funny, funny guys!) Sounds pretty similar to what we do here, except with vaginas instead of phalluses. “Komos” was like the gay version of “Other Crap.”

It’s OK for Trump to break the law because every candidate for President breaks the law.

It’s OK for Trump to break the law because “every candidate violates the election laws when they run for president.”

NOT The Onion. This one is real.

In case you didn’t notice, this is the worst defense ever, because it then mandates this syllogism:

Every candidate for President violates the laws

Trump was a candidate for President

Therefore, Trump violated the law

Alan Dershowitz is a law professor and I’m no lawyer, but I have to think that an admission that “the accused violated the law” is probably not the optimal legal defense. Personally, I would go with “my client followed the standard precedent set by every previous President, which is clearly not in violation of any laws.” Oh, sure, that would be a lie, but it at least has a chance of working on a jury, as opposed to “my client violated the law,” which must inevitably produce the Bialystock and Bloom verdict.
