Thursday Overnight Open Thread (12/8/16) I Phoned It In Edition

Sometimes reality (aka "the job") interferes with the ONT creation process.

How do you say Don Draper in Finnish? Quite the advertising slogan.

An unwilling tourist, Adolf Hoffmeister and his guide to being a refugee. Remarkable and interesting man.

In 1939, Adolf Hoffmeister (August 15 1902 – July 24 1973) emigrated from his native Czechoslovakia to Paris, a city he had fallen for after his first visit in 1922. It was on that trip he forswore his legal career and vowed to be an artist. When France fell to the Nazis, Hoffmeister, an avid anti-fascist, was arrested and jailed in Paris’s La Santé prison – an episode he would recall in Vezeni (1969) – and later transported to Southern France and Morocco, where he was incarcerated in the Ain El Ourak concentration camp.

Shit over substance. Justin Bieber possible Grammy Winner. David Bowie Not. Why the ONT doesn't care for Top 40 crap.

Tonight's Musical Interlude

An atheist's view on Christmas. Adam Corolla talks about Christmas and the American anti-Christmas culture. NSFW-Language-Muslim bash

Do you want to feel safe or do you want to feel good?That's a damn silly question. Here's hoping that General "Mad Dog" Mattis rips this piece of crap up on January 20, 2017 shortly after Trump is sworn in.

For example, as of 2015, only the Department of State and USAID Civil Services were more diverse in terms of gender, race, and ethnicity than the Federal workforce as a whole. When comparing the agencies' workforces to their leadership personnel (Senior Executive Service (SES) or its equivalent), all agencies' leadership staffs were less diverse than their respective workforces in terms of gender, and all but DOD enlisted personnel and USAID Civil Service had less diverse leadership in terms of race and ethnicity.

The ONT doesn't cover the entertainment industry on any regular basis. Amy Schumer in talks to play Babe The Pig Barbie.

“Barbie” is a global brand power house with sales of over $3 billion dollars worldwide. Barbie has taken on more than 150 roles through her more than 50 years as a doll, including princess, president, mermaid and movie star.

It also goes to show you that original thoughts and ideas in Hollywood are pretty much non-existent. A movie about a doll that has been around for decades?

Go caroling with The Group. Eggnog Valu-Rite and fruit cake provided for platinum members and/or those who can sing in the key of E Minor.

Lack of supervision led to tonight's Genius Award Winner
