Nick Schroer presents as a fervent backer of licking every police boot he can put near a podium - but in St. To Self-Serve and Project: As with many of his GOP colleagues, State Rep. Louis and hope to be run over by his schooner. By the time he added that the Connecticut house was nearly 300 years old, “has its own Wikipedia page and is on the National Register of Historic Places,” we were so thoroughly embarrassed for not seeing this coming that we could only walk into the Sea of St. We just hate ourselves for not anticipating such an obvious plot point. Damnit, Tod, of course you are! We’re not even mad at you. And then he hit us with the twist: He’s going to telecommute half the time from West Hartford, Connecticut, and rent an apartment in St. We skimmed through the humblebrag tour of his career, figuring this would at least be the last time we had to witness this J. So we weren’t Big Mad to read the first part of a recent column announcing he was moving away. (We thought the “sailor, tennis player” description in his Twitter bio was a little too on the nose, but sometimes you have to hit the audience over the head when building themes.) And while you have to admire the work of a performer who has doggedly refused to break character for a half-decade, it seemed the joke had run its course. Sail Away Tod: For more than five years, Tod Robberson has been doing a tiresome but absolutely dedicated bit as a hopelessly out-of-touch editorial page editor dropped into a Midwestern city. Maybe, finally, the veil can start slipping for good. Louis’ elite, the Veiled Prophet himself, was safely hidden. In a gross way, it’s fitting: In 1999, Kemper smiled and waved as she was introduced as the Veiled Prophet’s 105th “Queen of Love and Beauty,” while next to her, a man from St. It has no excuse, as well, for its failure to speak out as Kemper became the unfair symbol - a “KKK princess,” as some on Twitter dubbed her - of the group’s 140-year-old history. I was old enough to have educated myself before getting involved.” Kemper directed her apology “to the people I’ve disappointed” and vowed to “use my privilege in support of the better society I think we’re capable of becoming.” Hours later, the Veiled Prophet Organization finally released its own apology for “the actions and images from our history,” adding “our hope is that moving forward, the community sees us for who we are today.” The statement is a significant step, but where was this public reckoning years ago? Why did it take a decade of protests before it accepted Black and Jewish members in 1978? It has no excuse for the silence. “I wasn't aware of this history at the time,” she said, “but ignorance is no excuse. It was her first public comment addressing her participation in what she had believed, as a nineteen-year-old in 1999, was just a “debutante ball” in her hometown of St.
Welcome back to the Big Mad, the RFT’s weekly roundup of righteous rage! Because we know your time is short and your anger is white-hot:Įllie Kemper Unveiled: The Veiled Prophet can’t hide what it is, and, to Ellie Kemper’s credit, she didn’t try to defend its “unquestionably racist, sexist, and elitist past,” as those were the exact words she used to describe the group in a June 7 Instagram post.
Louis native Ellie Kemper issued an apology this week for her role in the 1999 Veiled Prophet Ball. Home Sweet Home Alone will be dumped down your chimney on November 12. There’s also Devin Ratray, who played Buzz in the original, as a cop with a badge that says “McAllister” hold for applause. Yates hits all the beats of the original, from gorging on junk food to forging elaborate Nerf-based weaponry to fend off this movie’s version of the Wet Bandits, now Rob Delaney and Ellie Kemper. While Max lives it up at home, his worried mom (Aisling Bea) yells at people at the airport … but it’s the Tokyo airport now, and she probably yells “Max!” instead of “Kevin!” so it’s a whole new thing. In the trailer, Archie Yates plays 10-year-old Max, who finds himself alone in his family’s ridiculous mansion when he gets left behind from their Christmas trip to Tokyo. The trailer makes it seem less like a sequel and more like an extremely faithful beat-for-beat rehash of John Hughes’s original for a new era that only knows the Culkins as sexy adults.
