That...<i>Didn't she fabricate her sexual assault?</i><br /><br />That is the funny thing there - more likely than not, she probably did fabricate her own sexual assault, but then goes on and admitted that she sexually assaulted her younger sibling. Of course, that could have been fabricated too...<br /><br />Still, she is an actress of sorts (and, yes, I used that term to poke the buttons of the feminists here), which means that she probably lives most of the time in some fantasy world, where make believe is more important than reality. Back in the day, actors seemed to be able to cast off their roles, and switch back to real life more easily than they do now. Many of the greatest ones never lost track of when they were acting and when they weren't. And, that to be great, they had to keep working on the craft. But, we are many decades beyond that for most actors today, who lose track of the reality that being a good actor doesn't mean that they are good people, or even smart ones.

Even then, by the time she gets a permanent resident's card, the US presidency may have changed mooting the reason for leaving in the first place.<br />Every four years some group of people threaten to move to Canada and the Canadians are probably getting sick and tired of hearing about this. Canadians are moving to the US to get acting jobs, for goodness sake, so she will mostl likely not be welcomed there and they won't even let her in the country if she has any kind of criminal record or if a family member does.<br />Personally, I'd threaten to move to Ireland. I think it sounds better and I wouldn't alarm my Canadian relatives.mikeyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213298861892317555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-20215988452219410752016-04-27T08:47:09.898-05:002016-04-27T08:47:09.898-05:00Althouse can't get over the fact that Lena Dun...Althouse can't get over the fact that Lena Dunham is EXACTLY as vapid and self-absorbed as her character is on that silly show she does.
