John Belushi A Misogynist? Jane Curtin Tells Oprah Star Sabotaged Women’s Work
April 15, 2011 No Comment
The early days of “Saturday Night Live” stood out in part thanks to its breakout female stars, but according to one of them, behind the scenes, the show did its best to stifle them. Jane Curtin appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” on Tuesday as part of a panel on women in comedy, sitting alongside Tina Fey and Chevy Chase, among others. Known for her Coneheads sketches and Weekend Update anchoring, Curtin said that the women writers on the show were often unable to contribute their work thanks to sabotage by the show’s men. Especially breakout star John Belushi. “Their battles were constant. They were working against John, who said women are just fundamentally not funny,” Curtin said. “So you’d go to a table read, and if a woman writer had written a piece for John, he would not read it in his full voice. He felt as though it was his duty to sabotage pieces written by women.” Fey said that she was indebted to Curtin, and thanks to her, things had changed at “SNL” by the time she got there. “By the time I got there, in that read-through room… our director was a woman; one of our stage managers was a woman,” she said. “The more women that were in the room to laugh at the different pieces, then [the more] people were like, ‘Oh, OK, maybe we’ll put it on.’” WATCH:

April 15, 2011 No Comment
The April 18 edition of Newsweek trashed Republican Paul Ryan as a “scrooge” who is declaring “war” on poor Americans. The piece by Jonathan Chait ripped the Representative's budget proposal and included this cover headline: ” Why GOP Scrooge Paul Ryan Is a Fraud .” The failing publication, which was sold for $1 in 2010 , featured an equally vicious headline inside the magazine: “War on the Weak: How the GOP Came to View the Poor as Parasites and the Rich as Our Rightful Rulers.” Chait, who is a senior editor at the liberal new Republic, offered the Republican Ryan's affection for author Ayn Rand as evidence of a “war” on the parasitic poor: In 2009 Rand began popping up all over the Tea Party movement. Sales of her books skyrocketed, and signs quoting her ideas appeared constantly at rallies. Conservatives asserted that the events of the Obama administration eerily paralleled the plot of Atlas Shrugged, in which a liberal government precipitates economic collapse. One conservative making that point was Ryan . His citation of Rand was not casual. He’s a Rand nut. In the days before his star turn as America’s Accountant, Ryan once appeared at a gathering to honor her philosophy, where he announced, “The reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand.” He continues to view Rand as a lodestar, requiring his staffers to digest her creepy tracts.

President Obama may be content using a slightly outdated (though admittedly secure) BlackBerry while on the go, but it seems that he’s far more disappointed in the technology at the White House itself. Speaking at a fundraiser in Chicago this week, Obama said that “when it comes to technology, we are like 30 years behind,” and he’s not just just talking about some ancient Windows desktops left over from the previous administration in the West Wing. He went on to complain about the lack of “really cool phones and stuff,” saying, “I’m the president of the United States. Where’s the fancy buttons and stuff and the big screen comes up? It doesn’t happen.” Maybe he can get some of his new tech industry friends to help him out with that if manages to settle in for a second term.
