Herman Melville, Moby Dick

There are dozens and dozens of different published editions of Herman Melville's Moby Dick.

Someone's selling this Signet version I have for $45.69.

Don't buy that one, unless you're a hard-up collector, lol.

Buy this one, the recent Signet version, for just under $6.00.

And thanks for your support! As you know, I've been having a blast with book blogging (and book reading, of course) over this last year or two. It's what keeps me sane, heh.

Shop at this Amazon link for more. And thanks again!

I was down at the beach yesterday and it was all-star weather. Just perfect. People travel around the world to such beautiful locations. Laguna Beach? It's paradise.

Commentator Paris Dennard 'Suspended' All of a Sudden (After Vigorously Defending President Trump) as Leftist CNN Hacks Dredge Up Old Sexual Assault Allegations (VIDEO)

I don't know Paris Dennard. I don't watch much cable television anymore, but it sure seems a convenient coincident that he's being suspended from CNN after making hack Philip Mudd literally lose his mind on live TV in a profanity-laced meltdown.

At the Hollywood Reporter, "CNN Suspends Contributor Paris Dennard Following Sexual Misconduct Report."

And watch the meltdown, which received wide coverage. (For example, at the Washington Examiner, "Trump says ex-CIA, FBI official Philip Mudd 'is in no mental condition' to have security clearance.")

WaPo Bemoans 'Day Like Any Other' at Right-Wing News Outlets After Cohen and Manafort Convictions (VIDEO)

Hey, it's a good thing we have Fox News to put things in perspective. The Mollie Tibbetts murder, by an illegal alien who's been in the country for years, is a much bigger story, in my opinion. That one should implicate the Democrats in impeachable crimes. But here's the headline at WaPo, via Memeorandum, "In Trump's right-wing media universe, it was a day like any other."

And yes, let's listen to Sean Hannity's monologue. You know he's right:

Megan Parry's Wednesday Weather Forecast

Hey, it's been nice weather --- a little marine layer in the morning, blowing off by early afternoon, with temps in the mid-80s.

What's not to like?

Here's the lovely Ms. Megan:

Manafort Verdict Says Nothing

Check Memeorandum for all the scandal-related news about the Trump administration.

It's over the top. Calls for impeachment are already ramping up, but this morning's headlines are as significant as folks may think.

See Byron York, at the Washington Examiner, "Manafort split verdict says nothing on Trump, Russia, and the 2016 election":

Mueller did not allege any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump campaign, and none were revealed at the trial.

That's not to say the public did not learn anything from the Manafort trial. Indeed, if nothing else, outsiders got a glimpse into what Washington influence peddlers have gotten away with for decades. Manafort was convicted of shady dealing going back a long way. His behavior had been examined by the Obama Justice Department, which took no action against him. It was only because Manafort hooked up with Trump, and Trump then won the White House, and Democrats then pushed a Trump-Russia narrative to hobble the new president, and Trump then fired the director of the FBI -- only through all of those circumstances -- that Manafort got caught and his foreign money schemes exposed.

The importance of the financial crimes case against Manafort was never the financial crimes themselves. It was the prosecutors' hope that, by charging the hell out of the offenses alleged, by playing hardball with the defendant with a guns-drawn-at-dawn search-warrant raid, by jailing him over a debatable obstruction of justice charge that Manafort could be pressured into spilling what prosecutors apparently thought were a lot of beans about the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election.

The big question about that strategy, of course, was whether the beans really existed. Was there a deep, dark secret about Russia collusion, evidence to proved that it occurred, and did Manafort, and only Manafort, know it? If so, then Manafort could be the key to the case. If not, then Mueller could succeed in nailing Manafort's hide to the wall -- and sending a warning to Washington operators who accept huge foreign payments -- but not accomplish the actual goal of the Trump-Russia investigation...

Asia Argento and 17-Year-Old Boy in Bed in Sexual Encounter

She claimed Anthony Bourdain paid off the kid to make problems go away. There was no sexual relationship, according to her statement:

I just received this statement from @AsiaArgento in response to the NYT story published late Sunday evening. pic.twitter.com/jAOo7TAULX

— Yashar Ali 🐘 (@yashar) August 21, 2018

But TMZ's got the photos to prove that sex did happen. This Asia woman is hypocrite scum. Now I really feel bad for Anthony Bourdain. She broke his heart and then he killed himself. I don't think she was worth it, damn.

Jennifer Garner on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (VIDEO)

Ms. Garner's in the news. She's hands down one of the most smoking hottest actresses in the business --- and Ben Affleck's an idiot and a loser, man.

At Elle, "Jennifer Garner Is Reportedly ‘Not Pleased’ or 'Surprised' Ben Affleck Is Dating a 22-Year-Old Playboy Model," and at Metro U.K., "Ben Affleck grabs bite to eat with Playboy model Shauna Sexton as he skips ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s Walk of Fame ceremony."

(BONUS: "SHAUNA SEXTON PHOTOGRAPHED BY DOVE SHORE FOR PLAYBOY, MAY 2018." Maybe he's not an idiot after all, shoot! But see, "Jennifer Garner Topless & Ass Pics.")

Also, at People, "All the Cutest Photos From Jennifer Garner's Walk of Fame Ceremony with Her Three Adorable Kids: Jennifer Garner received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday — and made a rare appearance with her three children with ex Ben Affleck."
