Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

Haha, I think it was Bosley Crowther, the old NY Times film critic, who referred to Belmondo in Breathless as "hypnotically ugly." Now, I don't think Belmonde is any great looker (different strokes) but Crowther was so often completely loving wrong (Pauline Kael accused him of having "reverse acumen") that I'm inclined to agree with you on general principles. And he could certainly act.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Hello, I heard this thread calling me while I was having birthday dinner.

I always think that coronation picture of Napoleon is one of the worst, he looks so sullen and pasty.

I much prefer this one.



Josephine had notoriously bad teeth (combination of hygiene and growing up on a sugar plantation)...

But I think this is one of my favorite pictures of her.



But, I always thought her daughter was prettier.

Now with less breakage.

The young Bush Sr. wasn't half bad, and he's aged with a certain style. More so than his son, at least.




On a more positive global-politics note, Fridtjof Nansen in his youth was quite the looker.

At a guess, that's from his polar exploration days, back when he was the first guy to ski across greenland and made a spirited attempt to reach the north pole. After his days as a competitive skater and skier, that is.
Around this period he was also the model for viking king Olav Tryggvasson in a series of woodcuts:



Later in life he did some decent research on nervous systems in marine animals while running a marine research/museum, organized the first international refugee treaties and aid shipments after WW1 and was the first commissioner for refugees for the League of Nations (this being pre-UN), got a peace price, turned down the position of President of Norway (which led to us electing a king instead), and generally made Norway look good.
He also aged rather well.


(He also sent a series of nudes to go with his love letters to Brenda Ueland, at one point. He was 67 at the time, and in rather good shape.)

goddamn

EDIT: that's a photograph! :stare:

Apparently she was pretty awesome too.

quote:

Longworth led an unconventional and controversial life. Despite her love for her legendary father, she proved to be almost nothing like him. Her marriage to Representative Nicholas Longworth (Republican-Ohio), a party leader and 43rd Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, was shaky, and the couple's only child was a result of her affair with Senator William Borah of Idaho. She temporarily became a Democrat during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, and proudly boasted in a 60 Minutes interview with Eric Sevareid, televised on February 17, 1974, that she was a "hedonist".

Alice Longworth was renowned for her "brilliantly malicious" humor, even in this sensitive situation, since she had originally wanted to name her and the senator's love child "Deborah," as in "de Borah." And according to one family friend, "everybody called her [Paulina] 'Aurora Borah Alice.'"

EDIT 2: Seriously, how I have never heard of this woman, her life was apparently just one scalding burn after another:

quote:

To Senator Joseph McCarthy, who had jokingly remarked at a party, "Here's my blind date. I am going to call you Alice," she responded acidly, "Senator McCarthy, you are not going to call me Alice. The trashman and the policeman on my block call me Alice, but you may not."

Her long friendship with Nixon ended at the conclusion of the Watergate Scandal, specifically when Nixon quoted her father's diary at his resignation, saying, "Only if you've been to the lowest valley can you know how great it is to be on the highest mountain top." This infuriated Longworth, who spat curse words at her television screen as she watched him

When asked if she would be buried in Cincinnati, she said that to do so "would be a fate worse than death itself."

On May 11, 1908, Longworth similarly amused herself in the Capitol's gallery at the House of Representatives by placing a tack on the chair of an unknown but "middle-aged" and "dignified" gentleman. Upon encountering the tack, "like the burst of a bubble on the fountain, like the bolt from the blue, like the ball from the cannon," the unfortunate fellow leapt up in pain and surprise while Mrs. Longworth looked away.

Mrs Taft offended Longworth by offering her an invitation to the White House; upon receiving the invitation, Longworth asked, "Me--who walked the halls of the White House for so many years?"

As an example of her attitudes on race, in 1965 her African-American chauffeur and one of her best friends, Turner, was driving Longworth to an appointment. During the trip, he pulled out in front of a taxi, and the driver got out and demanded to know of him, "What do you think you're doing, you black bastard?" Turner took the insult calmly, but Longworth did not and told the taxi driver, "He's taking me to my destination, you white son of a bitch!"

On another occasion, asked by a Ku Klux Klansman in full regalia to take his word for something, she refused, saying, "I never trust a man under sheets."

And when a well-known Washington senator was discovered to have been having an affair with a young woman less than half his age, Mrs. Longworth quipped, "You can't make a soufflé rise twice."

-------

When her father was governor of New York, he and his wife proposed that Longworth attend a conservative school for girls in New York City. Pulling out all the stops, Longworth wrote, "If you send me I will humiliate you. I will do something that will shame you. I tell you I will."

Once, a White House visitor commented on Longworth's frequent interruptions to the Oval Office, often because of her political advice. The exhausted president commented to his friend, author Owen Wister, after the third interruption to their conversation and after threatening to throw Longworth 'out the window', "I can either run the country or I can attend to Alice, but I cannot possibly do both."

Horrible human being. Possiby incestuous. Definitely murderous. Knew how to wear a hat.

Gotta admit:

You can't exactly blame Lucrezia or Cesare for wanting to gently caress each other. Given all the poo poo they're said to have done, incest is far from the worst.

Also:

I've always thought Stokely Carmichael was pretty hot; then again, I could just have a weakness for the revolutionary types.
