Waldo Lydecker's Journal.: What Fresh Hell? Everybody's doing unto others before they get it done to them. When Charlie Rose welcomed women onto, not just to, his table. And Charles Manson spent 60 of his 83 years in jail. Hear any good helter-skelter jokes yet?

Rolling Stone covered the story, but not like Hunter S. Thompson could have:

Charles Manson, the cult leader of the Manson family who masterminded the Tate-LaBianca killings of 1969 and one of the most reviled and fascinating figures in American pop culture, died Sunday night, CBS Los Angeles reports. He was 83. Manson had been rushed to a Bakersfield, California hospital from Corcoran State Prison earlier this month for an undisclosed medical issue.

But for his inability to make parole, he’d have been a dead cert for Steve Bannon’s 2018 Senate Purge.

Roy Moore’s defenders among the clergy say the real sexual harassment story has yet to be told:

Pastor Franklin Raddish of the Capitol Hill Independent Baptist Ministries, a nationwide church, told AL.com from his South Carolina home that the spate of accusations against men in politics, Hollywood and elsewhere was a “war on men.”

“More women are sexual predators than men,” said Raddish. “Women are chasing young boys up and down the road, but we don’t hear about that because it’s not PC.”

They just love Steel Magnolias, those Bible-beaters:

Truvy: I kind of like hiring somebody with a past.

Clairee: She can't be more than eighteen. She hasn't had time to have a past.

Truvy: Oh get with it, Clairee. This is the eighties. If you can achieve puberty, you can achieve a past.

The faith of the God-botherers is as nothing compared to that of an exterminator who’s clearly been huffing the product:

“If Jesus Christ gets down off the cross and told me Trump is with Russia, I would tell him, 'Hold on a second. I need to check with the president if it's true,’” said Mark Lee, one of six Trump voters to appear on a CNN panel Monday morning.

Roy Moore used to creep gyms before he developed moobs and went into politics:

The Gadsden Grabber says one accuser’s refusal to hand over her high school yearbook- the one she says he wrote her a mash note in- proves it’s a fake.

Roy Moore was never much of a lawyer, but he knows enough to know that all he has to do to get the book issue the woman and submit a request production of documents.

He also knows this because he has threatened to sue the state’s biggest newspapers and they have reminded him that lawsuit work both ways. More than once.

Babe magnetry is bipartisan, a Democrat term-limited on the Ohio Supreme Court says. He’s running for governor, where he must believe he can get back in the saddle.

Unless, of course, it’s unwelcome and/or gay in the GOP. Uber-gay basher Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council is uncharacteristically silent since another Ohio cockhound, State Rep. Wes Goodman, resigned last week. Turns out he was trying to lay everything but the Atlantic Cable while working for Perkins and Congressman Jim Jordan in DC. In 2015 he went home to run for the legislature, and was obliged to resign after he got caught proving reparative therapy never works.

Whether Goodman’s denials spurred the spike in the use of the slur “No Homo” on Twitter remains unknown.

Most other antigay groups are busy raising money off the coming Supreme Court case to decide whether God smiles on bigot bakers. Mark your calendars: December 5.

Oh, and this: Navy pilots know how to sublimate things:

It’s also a good way to mess with the heads of the chemtrail conspiracists on Coast to Coast AM for weeks!

Charlie Rose got suspended today- CBS *and* PBS did it. After he apologized for the eight women who accused him of being a complete tool by- among other things- showing them his.

Meantime, failed Foxhack Greta Van Susteren is trying to make money other people’s Weinstein Moments.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has apologized after a gossip website posted a four-year-old video of him making a racially insensitive comment.

The Blast website reported the video was shot in 2013 at a Dallas hotel by a white man who asked Jones if he would tape a message for his fiancee. Jones appeared to be joking when he said, “Hey, Jennifer, congratulations on the wedding. Now, you know he’s with a black girl tonight, don’t you?”

In 1884, elephants were a proxy for intellectual racists, btw.

Now, in America, they’re a different kind of political football. Except for the GOP’s pachyderm: MOTUS says he may bar Don Jr from handing its head on his wall, but it’s too late to undo Dad’s castration of it.
