Marilyn

In Mr. Porter’s account, Marilyn enjoyed a closer relationship with Bobby Kennedy than with Jack.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Bobby, according to Jeanne Carmen, was sexually involved with Marilyn every time he came to the West Coast.

She wanted to be part of his world,” Carmen claimed. “She thought Bobby might be her passport to becoming a great lady instead of just a dumb blonde broad on screen. I saw her diary. She wrote down things he said, even notes on Jimmy Hoffa, whom Bobby despised. He talked of the need to get rid of Fidel Castro.”

“In one entry I read, Marilyn wrote down what Bobby had said about J. Edgar Hoover. “What a cocksucker! What a bastard! Any day now, I expect him to walk in the door wearing one of Jackie’s discarded Dior dresses. Someday, I’m going to get rid of Hoover, that blackmailer.”

That special diary, incidentally, was never recovered after her death. How mysterious, no? I suppose some people claim that it never existed. Personally, I wonder if it was consigned to the flames, being too hot to have lying around, or if a future generation is going to have a somewhat interesting news-day one of these days, to finally have it come to light.

Watching the Tide Roll Away

Jeremy Irons and Touching Women

Jeremy Irons takes some heat for trying to keep it real about men and women, birds and bees, and loving that sexy ass.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

He has already enraged feminists by saying women should accept pats on the bottom in good humor. Now Jeremy Irons has waded back into the same controversy with the confession he loves ‘touching’ people – adding any ‘self-respecting woman’ would simply tell him to ‘f*** off’ if she minded.

Admitting he likes to ‘stir things up’, the 64-year-old also appeared to criticize people who claim they have been the target of underage sexual abuse, claiming they have been ‘encouraged’ to believe they are victims.

Mr Irons caused outrage in 2011 by saying: ‘If a man puts his hand on a woman’s bottom, any woman worth her salt can deal with it. It is communication. Can’t we be friendly?’

For people who are quick to jump on him, they should bear in mind that he is a fabulously wealthy and famous movie star, and presumably lives with greater license than may be granted to 99% of the rest of the manhood.

Daimon chuckles, "Yes, in your case, Monk old boy, you probably shouldn't even look at another woman."

Monk nods, "In my case, that could be a case of 'eye rape' and good for a little time in the county jail - or at least a woman's derision."

Pi snorts, "Hah, when it comes to touching women, you have gotten away with murder!"

Monk says, "What, when I was in college? Well, in those days, it might be said that I had a little license myself. But those days are looong gone, oh, yeah!"

Meteor

Planet earth had a date with a meteor today. Although it was not cataclysmic in the sense of wiping out cities or even countries, or being able to take out the dinosaurs, it was the most devastating hit that our world's civilization has taken yet from outer space.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

MOSCOW — With a blinding flash and a booming shock wave, a meteor blazed across the western Siberian sky Friday and exploded with the force of 20 atomic bombs, injuring more than 1,000 people as it blasted out windows and spread panic in a city of 1 million.

While NASA estimated the meteor was only about the size of a bus and weighed an estimated 7,000 tons, the fireball it produced was dramatic. Video shot by startled residents of the city of Chelyabinsk showed its streaming contrails as it arced toward the horizon just after sunrise, looking like something from a world-ending science-fiction movie.
