HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Today is the best holiday and the second greatest day of the year behind baseball's Opening Day. I take Halloween seriously and cannot remember a year I didn't dress up. This year, I'm Wendy from the great cartoon Gravity Falls. Since I'm a self-professed Halloween expert, I want to share with you which movies you should watch today, the best Halloween candy, and some of the best costumes I find on social media.

After Andy Lassner, a producer for The Ellen DeGeneres Show, tweeted the other day that he's "way more afraid of another Melania getting in to this country than" he is of the thousands of migrants in the caravan marching towards the U.S. border. First Lady Melania Trump's office tweeted him an invite to her gathering of children at the White House to talk about kindness and screen the movie Wonder.

#MeToo, we are told, is an important socio-cultural movement; we should believe all accusers as "survivors" and treat every incident of alleged sexual assault as a mass attack of white male privilege on hapless females.  This mentality is so ingrained among the #MeToo and #Resistance left that protesters mobbed lawmakers insisting that their stories be heard in conjunction with the Kavanaugh hearings. The idea was that any woman who had been sexually assaulted must be somehow weighed in the Kavanaugh hearings and confirmation vote.  None of these women were claiming that Kavanaugh had assaulted them, just that they had been assaulted . . . and that Kavanaugh must pay.  You know, for their victimhood or as a scapegoat or Christ figure sacrificed for the sins of the many.  Kavanaugh's defeat was to be redemption for these women who had never met him much less been assaulted by him.  He was to be the figure, the totem, of their healing.   Burn him, and they are freed.  Or something.

A judge dismissed one out of six sexual assault charges against movie producer Harvey Weinstein after the prosecutors admitted that the lead detective on the case did not tell them that one witness doubted one of the accusers. From The New York Times:
Mr. Weinstein, 66, was charged in May with raping one woman and forcing another, Lucia Evans, to perform oral sex on him. Ms. Evans, a marketing executive, had testified to a state grand jury that the forced sex act had occurred in 2004, during a casting meeting at the offices of Mr. Weinstein’s film company, Miramax, in Manhattan’s TriBeCa neighborhood.
