Monday Night Open Thread

Posted by on

I love “The Princess Bride.” In fact, a lot of people do. You probably do, too. Now, I don’t consider myself an expert on the movie. I’m just a fan. But it is nice to learn stuff about it.

If you’re a big big fan of the movie, you might already know all of this. If so, just remember what it was like when you first found out. Yes, this is from a year ago, but it was new to me.

Tangentially related, kudos to the White House for tweeting out a “fake” video of Acosta abusing an intern, because now every liberal site in the world is showing side-by-side comparisons of two videos both showing Acosta karate-chopping a twenty-year-old girl’s arm, along with the classic abuser’s defense “he didn’t hit her THAT hard”.

No bruise, no foul? Is that the new standard? Are they SURE that’s the lesson here?
