Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
The Star Tribune newspaper (using the term very generously) with their stable of leftist propagandists, is so far out of the reality loop that I am becoming convinced they are not merely pretending to believe this swill, they actually believe it. I know this is a long and ludicrous review, but it’s informative to see just how outrageous things have gotten.
It’s utterly ridiculous. The proposal to stop forcing taxpayers to pay for murdering babies in the womb is literally the same thing as enslaving women and assigning them to castes for breeding. And that future is NOW!!!
The show, in the works before Trump’s election, “became more relevant than we ever imagined,” said Warren Littlefield, the executive producer, earlier this year. “A big part of what we deal with in ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ is the issue of women’s control of their body, and now we’re dealing with the possible defunding of Planned Parenthood . . . We didn’t want to be more relevant, but somehow we got that way.”
The inability to distinguish fantasy from reality is a symptom of mental illness. Someone should intervene to help this woman.

You have to walk a long way from Hollywood to find someone capable of intervening.
Hulu must be shelling out big bucks to have NPR AND regional news outlets crafting these adoring reviews
And yet Last Man Standing was just canceled despite being one of the top rated shows for ABC. As my wife put it, it is amazing it last through the 0bumbler years.
I am a conservative, white, Christian male. I can intervene for no one – not even myself. My opinions have been banished from the planet. Ask someone who can make a difference. My thoughts must remain in a cartoon bubble; out of sight and unpublished, lest a child be contaminated by my hate.
It is The Turner Diaries for feminists.
I remember reading The Handmaid’s Tale as a college student out of morbid curiousity, and my impression was that the author must have been smoking something good. I’d never heard of any Christian (outside of “Fundamental” Mormonism) advocating polygamy, and the thought that there would be a law requiring cotton underwear is especially hilarious in our world of mall lingerie stores like Victoria’s Secret.
And to suggest that Trump would lead such a charge…..let’s just note that THC concentrations in dope are far higher than they were when I was a young pup, and that just might explain some things.
Most such dystopian writers, IMHO, get such ideas from looking at left-wing history or into their own dark hearts.
This topic hurts my head.
From what I’ve read me this Canuck broad is one odd duck…..Yucko!!
