Do we really need a post for every celebrity that says something?

It is useful for ONE reason: whose movies/shows to boycott.
I will NEVER watch another Meryl Streep movie nor will I watch another Hugh Laurie (House) show.

From what Sean Spicer hinted at, it was Jared Kushner who put this release together. And Kushner not only had grandparents and great-grandparents in the Holocaust, he, unlike most liberal Jews, practices Judaism.

So, the superbowl has become a national equivalent of all those small town festivals. When I lived in the Seattle area we had “Bite of Seattle”, Salmon days, etc. Now that I’m in KY I see Ham days, Cow days, etc.

A friend of mine calls them “Make-a-buck” festivals.

And at the national level, we have the “superbowl festival”. The game is just a tiny part of it. The “excuse”, really. This is a revelation to me, having not watched a superbowl since the mid 1980’s.

OFGS! What is with this whiner? The Holocaust sought to exterminate more than just Jews; in fact, proportionally, more Gypsies were murdered than Jews. Then there were the gays, the communists, etc.
I have no dog in the Super Bowl fight, and indeed I’ve not watched a single pro football game this season (in protest over the multi-million dollar whiners who showed disrespect to our flag); but, based on this whiner’s comments, I’ll pull for the PATS to win (though I still won’t watch the game).

Hitler also had a plethora of Catholic priests killed. Their testimony against him would have been most damaging since most Austrians are Catholic.
Hitler learned his anti-Semitism in beautiful Austria, HIS homeland, and didn't leave there for Germany until he was 22 or 23 years old.

Go PATS!

Mr Blank is making it hard to root for the Falcons. Lord knows I would love to see them bring a championship to Atlanta, a city that is almost starving for one. But this really was a stretch on Blank’s part.

Austria always disavows Hitler and Eichman, and tries to claim Beethoven. They do however have Mozart.

Trump is also planning to move our embassy in Israel to Jerusalem as is desired by the Israelis since it is their capital. Such an anti-Semite!

Yes, our bus tour guide in Austria LAUGHINGLY said that they have been trying to convince the world that Hitler was German and Beethoven was Austrian.

However, having Mozart IS the prize.

Someone asked me how I knew the difference between operas from Mozart, Verdi, Puccini and Wagner. I answered:

Mozart's music sounds as if it comes STRAIGHT from God.
Verdi' music sends SHIVERS up and down my arms.
Puccini's music makes me WEEP at its beauty.
Wagner's music is so beautiful that IT CARRIES ME AWAY to Valhalla.
