					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Smollet, ever trying to gain victim status for himself, gave this response: &#039;I am not suicidal!&#039;” 

Gawd, this is so predictable. According to my news feed he&#039;s now in the jail psych ward as a suicide risk.

I thought it was strange when he shouted, &quot;I am not suicidal!!&quot; It appears this was his &quot;plan&quot; all along; use his same awful screenwriting and acting skills that got him convicted in the first place to convince the judge to let him out. I hope the judge does let him out, too. Just long enough to drag him into court so the judge can up his sentence to a year in Cook County.

&quot;Plan&quot; in scare quotes because in addition to the other skills he thinks he has but doesn&#039;t, add this one. I won&#039;t go through all the stupid mistakes he made out of hubris, but the most hilarious one was this; he still had his Subway sandwich. 

Then he got on the stand, no doubt thinking he&#039;s such an awesome actor he could fool the jury into believing his innocence despite the mountain of evidence against him. If I had been on that jury I would have been angry at him for insulting my intelligence. I checked before I wrote this. According to a juror who said from the moment they went into the jury room they had no major disagreements. They just didn&#039;t find him credible. Got that? He&#039;s such a lousy actor he couldn&#039;t even act credible.

Now he&#039;s pulling this stunt, still thinking he can put on such a convincing act the judge will have mercy and let him out early. He can&#039;t act his way out of a wet paper bag, but he&#039;s so full of himself he thinks he can act his way out of jail.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Like Kamala Harris, his ambition and thirst for celebrity got out in front of his intelligence, and that has a way of eventually blowing up in front of the cameras.

					<description><![CDATA[}}} &lt;i&gt; In a week Jussie will have a new pal.

150 days isnt long, but its 150 days of being a dog.&lt;/i&gt;

Probably not -- Remember his claim that he &quot;isn&#039;t suicidal&quot;?

How much money on the idea that he fakes a suicide (i.e., attempts it with a deliberate and complete intent to fail), so that he can get special attention, claiming someone else tried to make it appear as a suicide?

You heard me say it, folks.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[150 days is pure bovine excreta.

What would have been the sentence for the &quot;two attackers&quot;, had there actually been anyone &quot;attacking&quot; him? 

THAT is the range under which a sentence like this needs to be considered. People who do hoaxes like this are &lt;b&gt;worse than people who actually do things like the hoax implied&lt;/b&gt;.

Not only do they foment serious violence, smear the innocent, but they also disempower people who are actual victims of such behavior, leaving them far more open to being &quot;Chicken Littles&quot; and &quot;Boys Who Cry &#039;Wolf&#039;!&quot;

The punishment for such hoaxes should be serious, should be deep, and should be harsh. Not the defacto slap on the wrist Smollet has gotten.

					<description><![CDATA[Rufus,
Well I did get a chuckle out of that.  So much the better if it is an actual quote.

While I don&#039;t pretend to draw anything substantive from that quote, it is amazing to me that when the Biden admin. has a serious problem to deal with, i.e. our southern border, or Ukraine; he sends Kamala.  And when sent, she unfailingly beclowns herself.

Why send her, unless sending Joe would be even worse?  And I am beginning to wonder how someone of her increasingly apparent caliber could ever pass a bar exam?]]></description>
