Another Elizabeth II found within Republican Ranks

aka another old queen

One of GweeB’s appointments to the Federal bench announced his resignation effective April 1st by telephone in the Caribbean after being arrested for a DUI last week
Oh and he was wearing a black cocktail dress and fishnets


Robert Somma told police he had been at the Breezeway Pub where he had one gin and tonic about two hours earlier, the police report reveals. He later said he drank two gin and tonics.

The Breezeway Pub, at 14 Pearl St., bills itself as “New Hampshire’s favorite gay and alternative bar,” according to its web site.

The arresting officer reported Somma smelled of alcohol, slurred his speech and fell backwards against the door frame while getting out of his car.


Live Free or die, I guess
There’s nothing more to the story really but public shaming seems to be appropriate in this case and I’m proud I live in a country where judges are probably wearing matching bra and panties underneath their robes. I can only hope in Barack's New America they may do it more freely

I usually only like to make forward of conservatives who are busted in… let’s say hypocritical situations so while I don’t know anything about Somma’s record on the bench since he was a GweeB appointee I have to assume the worst and assuming he’s homophobic and yada and throw up this mug shot


And since he was a Bankruptcy judge I can’t tell if he necessarily was self hating or Larry Craigesque but here are some of his opinions to look over

These kind of situations must always be awkward if you're the wife

Midnight Movies from The Public Domain


Sex Madness
"This is a typical sex exploitation film from the early 1930s - complete with wild parties, sex out of wedlock, lesbianism, etc. A chorus girl's exposure to the "casting couch" also exposes her to syphilis.

Wild parties, lesbianism and premarital sex are some of the forms of "madness" portrayed. The "educational" aspect of the film allowed it to portray a taboo subject which was otherwise forbidden by the Motion Picture Production Code of 1930.

Films like this would tour the United States for years - mostly being shown in rundown, skid row theaters. This film has been re-edited and re-titled ("Human Wreckage", "They Must Be Told", "Trial Marriage", "About Trial Marriage") many times to attract the same audience to film, to take advantage of a taboo subject which may have gotten press recently or to appease local censors who disapproved of the film's content."


Sex Madness from 1938

Midnight Movies from The Public Domain

Thank heaven for archive.org

This week's offering:
Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) directed by Robert Weine from 1920
"The film tells the story of the deranged Dr. Caligari and his faithful sleepwalking Cesare and their connection to a string of murders in a German mountain village, Holstenwall.
Critics worldwide have praised the film for its Expressionist style, complete with wild, distorted set design. Caligari has been cited as an influence on film noir, one of the earliest horror films, and a model for directors for many decades."

And it’s #186 on imdb’s Top 250














Du mußt Caligari werden.
You must become Caligari.
