Detours

Some of the once wonderous and beautiful people have had their lives take a detour lately.  But as they say, when one door closes another one opens.

First up, Ghislaine Maxwell.  Ghislaine went on trial last week in Federal Court down there at 40 Centre Street.  In case you didn't know or hadn't heard, she was the late Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's paramour.  And, according to the Feds also his Procurer-in-chief.  It was she, the Feds say in a six count indictment, who recruited the young girls for Jeffrey and his friends.  Now some people think she'll get convicted.  That it's a done deal.  But other people think she can get off.  If, her Attorneys can paint Jeffrey Epstein as The Real Bad Guy and she as just another of his victims.  But that might be a long shot.  If so, we're afraid that the next door to open for Ghislaine, is the one at Allenwood Federal Correction Complex.

And Chris Cuomo has been fired at CNN!  Why?  Well, he helped his brother Andrew former Governor of New York and known affectionately around here as Cuomo The Younger, fight the many allegations of sexual abuse that were coming so fast most of us couldn't keep count.  So, Chris helped out his brother!  Who can blame him?  Well CNN can!  It seems Chris broke the rules over there at CNN!  We're using a lot of ! ! here, as this is shocking!  We didn't know CNN had any rules.

Where to go from here for Chris?  Well there's MSNBC where they took on Brian 'The Iraqis were shooting at me." Williams.  Oh wait, CNN's ratings are lower than MSNBC's.  Well there's always Mark Cuban's old cable channel AXS, where Dan Rather languished rather anonymously for a decade or so.  Then there's Sirius XM, a radio outlet, where Dan Rather also languished for a few more years.  And, of course Chris could run for higher office.  The New York Governor's race is wide open right now.

And Carrie Bourassa a self described "Indigenous feminist", "proud Metis" and Professor at  the University of Saskatchewan, has been fired.  She was also an expert on Indigenous issues, probably because she claimed to be Inuit, Anishinaabe, and Tinge.  Those are Indigenous tribes in Canada.  There must be a lot of money or something else of great value to being a Native American in the world of Academia.  As we all know Carrie Bourassa is not the first to pull this off.  But just like her counterpart here in the US of A, someone went and looked up her family tree.  And, all they found were a bunch of white people from Europe.  That's when she got the heave ho.

Where do you go after you've been fired and outed as phony Native American?  Well we looked this up, seems Canada has a House of Commons and a Senate.  Where else would she go?  Besides, who else to represent the Inuit, Anishinaabe and the Tinge?
