"Hi, Harlan."

Rabbit peeked up from his lunch and offered a flash of a smile. He'd been up all morning installing a fence for his neighbor's goats. Six hours later, he was finally done and taking a well-deserved break at the local diner. The plate in front of him was stacked high with French toast and bacon; a cup of black coffee sitting at the side. He was dirty and sweaty and smelled like barnyard critters, but it seemed that wasn't enough to ward off his visitor. "How's it going?" He asked through a mouthful of food, "The fence break already?"

It was neighbor's daughter. She was a pretty thing, maybe in her early twenties. Rabbit wasn't interested in her, but he could take a step back to understand why someone would be. With her brown skin and long curls, she gave off a sort of warm kindness that was hard to miss.

"Nope, but you forgot your money." She said and slid into the other side of the booth. Placing an envelope on the table, she watched Rabbit lick the syrup from his fingers before picking it up. She smiled. "You know, if you stuck around, I would've fed you. I can make bacon and French toast as good as anyone else."

Rabbit hummed, shoving the envelope in the front of his overalls. "I'm sure you can, Danny. I like it here-- And I'm sure you're tired of seeing my face." He said and shoveled another forkful of food in his mouth, returning her smile. "I feel like I'm at your house once a week to fix things. At least. Anytime my phone rings, I know it's your father."

Not a chance. Watching Harlan work around their farm was the best thing to happen to her in years. The man was a literal giant and built like a fridge. -- Not to mention he was stupid handsome. Danielle waved him off and propped her elbows on the table, her smile spreading. "Have I ever thanked you for that?" She asked, her brown eyes soft. "You're good to him and I... really appreciate it. He's still a homebody, but now that you're around, he at least has someone he talks to."

Rabbit shrugged and sipped his coffee. "He's good to me too. You both are."

Danielle pressed her lips together and hesitated. In the four years he'd been around, she'd never seen him with a lady. And, if she was being honest, she was starting to hope maybe he was waiting for her to approach him. Harlan was so sweet to her and her father; it only seemed right to try and get closer to him. "Maybe... I can cook for you, huh?" She offered, "What about dinner? This Sunday?"

Rabbit started to nod and set his mug down, his brows knitting. "I was gonna come over this weekend anyway. Your dad asked me to help fix the deck and gotta do some measurements-"

"No! I mean- Yes, but I was thinking..." Face warming, she tucked a dark curl behind her ear and smiled. "Like you and I? A date."

Rabbit's eyes widened. For a moment, he just stared at her. "Oh... Danny." He stuttered a little and reddened, his ears pink under the cap on his head. "Fuck. Uh-... N-No." He managed and frowned, "Sorry. I-I can't."

The smile on the young woman's face dropped for a second, but she did her best to put it back on to hide her disappointment. "I knew it. You already have someone, right?" She asked, "Sorry, Harlan."

Chewing the inside of his cheek, Rabbit leaned back in his seat and sighed. "Sort of." He said, "I'm uh... I'm widowed. I-I don't-"

"Oh! Oh, Harlan! Why didn't you say so? I'm so sorry!"

Rabbit lifted his hands and waved them, his face deep red. "Don't worry about it. I'm just... not ready to move on." He told her and offered a bittersweet smile.

Danielle still frowned, but nodded in understanding. "You should come for dinner anyway. With dad too." She said, "I feel so awful. How... How long?"

Glancing away, he picked a little at a piece of chipped vinyl on the table. "...Almost five years. Moved up here right after."

Danny let out a breath and leaned back, "Damn. And here I thought I'd get some free labor out of you." She said, trying to lighten the mood. "If I tied you down, we wouldn't have to pay you anymore."

Rabbit's eyes darted back to her before an amused grin pulled across his cheeks. "Don't feel too bad. It wouldn't have worked out anyway." He said, watching cock a brow. "Too old for you."

Ricky Nelson and Angie Dickinson in Rio Bravo (Howard Hawks, 1959)

Cast: John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Angie Dickinson, Walter Brennan, Ward Bond, John Russell, Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez, Estelita Rodriguez, Claude Akins, Malcolm Atterbury, Harry Carey Jr. Screenplay: Jules Furthman, Leigh Brackett, based on a story by B.H. McCampbell. Cinematography: Russell Harlan. Art direction: Leo K. Kuter. Film editing: Folmar Blangsted. Music: Dimitri Tiomkin. 

I could never countenance plagiarism, but as they say, if you're going to steal, steal from the best. Even if you're Howard Hawks stealing from Howard Hawks, which happens almost shamelessly in Rio Bravo. No one who loves Hawks's Red River (1948) as much as I do could fail to miss how much of Rio Bravo is, let us say, borrowed from that film. There's the byplay between Sheriff John T. Chance (John Wayne) and Stumpy (Walter Brennan), which echoes that of Dunson (Wayne) and Groot (Brennan) in Red River. Ricky Nelson's young gun Colorado Ryan is a reworking of Montgomery Clift's Matthew Garth. And Angie Dickinson's Feathers could almost be a parody of Joanne Dru's motormouth Tess Millay. But the Hawksian borrowings don't stop with Red River. When Feathers kisses Chance for the first time and then goes in for a second kiss in which he participates more enthusiastically, she comments, "It's better when two people do it," which is a direct steal from a similar scene in To Have and Have Not (Hawks, 1944) when "Slim" (Lauren Bacall) tells "Steve" (Humphrey Bogart), "It's even better when you help." The two movies share not only a director but also a screenwriter, Jules Furthman, who is joined in Rio Bravo by Leigh Brackett, who earlier worked together on another Bogart-Bacall-Hawks movie, The Big Sleep (1946). Even the composer of the score for Rio Bravo, Dimitri Tiomkin, gets into the borrowing game, taking a theme from his score for Red River and handing it over to lyricist Paul Francis Webster for the song, "My Rifle, My Pony, and Me," sung by Dean Martin's Dude and Nelson's Colorado. Rio Bravo maybe isn't as great a movie as Red River, and it probably signals some creative exhaustion on Hawks's part that he not only borrowed so heavily from his earlier work but also felt it necessary to remake Rio Bravo in two thinly disguised versions, also starring Wayne, as El Dorado (1966) and Rio Lobo (1970). But is there a more entertaining self-plagiarism, and a surer demonstration of what made Hawks one of the great filmmakers?

The King and The Concubines 1/?

It was the best and worst day of Harlan’s life, waking up in a medical ward with no feeling in one arm. There was some staff member there to see him and he closed his eyes, not wanting to hear it. Not wanting to see it.

“Harlan.” The voice was soft, sympathetic, and it made him grind his teeth. “Harlan, look at me.”

He shallowed his breathing, desperately hoping they’d find him to be asleep, to buy himself a little longer.

“Harlan of Trias, you will answer your king,” The voice said, a note of steel threading through the command.

Wallow he might, but Harlan of Trias would not let down his king, so long as he had the power to obey. “Majesty.”

“There you are.” Sure enough, no other but King Cedric Orion, the two hundred and eleventh of his line, Starforger and he who sat the throne, was sitting before him, and his eyes were as pale, silvered blue as the stories said. The King offered an understanding smile. “I don’t suppose you’ve let anyone tell you that if you’re diligent by your doctor’s word, you will regain use of that arm.”

Harlan’s breath caught, and he looked on reflex. The limb was whole, never mind he couldn’t feel it. There was no reason for his king to lie. “I… I hadn’t realized…”

“You will not, however, see live combat again,” King Cedric said softly. “And I’m sorry for that, as I know how much it means. However, I would offer you an… unconventional position at my side, to serve the crown once more.”

“Sire?” Harlan’s eyes jerked up, meeting him head on though he hadn’t intended to.

“You see, the court is full of my father’s old cronies,” The King said, leaning forward and speaking low, in confidence. “And I have found they have their own interests in matters, interests that do not necessarily serve me. The Minister of War, for example, highly benefits from having us at war. While I cherish the will and loyalty of my men, the fact remains that I would rather not exhaust them in pointless battle. I seek peace.”

“That is well known,” Harlan offered, when the king seemed to expect an answer. The situation was surreal.

“Thank you,” he said quietly, inclining his head. Fine golden hair slid over his brow with the gesture. “Harlan, I need your help.”

“Anything,” he said immediately, meaning it with the whole of his heart.

“I cannot yet replace the Minister of War, but I need the advice of someone who knows battle, who knows the front, who’s seen the faces of my men… and that someone, I hope, will be you.”

Harlan stared at him intently. “...pardon?”

White gloved hands took his in an oddly intimate gesture. “Harlan of Trias, would you honor me and become my concubine?”

So yeah I did it anyway #oops. Probably will continue this.

[justinspoliticalcorner]

Joan McCarter at Daily Kos:

There’s blood in the water around the Supreme Court now and investigative journalists are swarming, finding all the fodder they need for a scandal in the form of Justice Clarence Thomas alone. The latest addition to the Thomas corruption chronicles is The New York Times’ exposé on his long-standing membership in the Horatio Alger Association, one that netted him a whole new raft of generous, wealthy friends spending lavishly to provide him a luxurious lifestyle. As the circle of Thomas’ rich and powerful associates grows, so grows the likelihood of conflicts of interest for him on the court and the likelihood the media will be able to dig them up. Each new discovery will only deepen the crisis in the court and generate more momentum for reform.

Previous reporting from ProPublica shows just how susceptible Thomas is to very rich people who want to give him big-ticket items like luxury vacations, in particular his longtime friend Harlan Crow, the Texas billionaire who also likes to spend his largesse on right-wing dark money groups. Crow has funded not only lavish vacations and private plane rides, but made life easier for Thomas with real estate deals, paying tuition for Thomas’ ward to attend private school, and generally enriching Thomas’ life. Crow even pays the rent on the home where Thomas’ mother currently lives. That was all highly questionable, made more so by Thomas’ failure to report any of these gifts in financial disclosures, but not a clear-cut conflict of interest for Thomas. Crow hasn’t had much business before the court, though he has funded organizations that take an interest in various right-wing legal efforts.

The Horatio Alger Association is potentially different, chock-full of rich and powerful people—most of them conservative donors to political causes—who also enjoy the privilege of providing a Supreme Court justice with a lavish life. [...] Unsurprisingly, Thomas hasn’t disclosed the gifts, tickets, and trips from his friends in the Horatio Alger society. Not disclosing the gifts means not disclosing conflicts of interest, with members of the society and its larger circle likely to end up before the court with an interest in cases the Supreme Court is hearing.

The appearance of corruption on the court from Thomas alone is enough to spur calls for reform. Justice Samuel Alito has ethical questions of his own given that his wealthy benefactors definitely have regular business before the court. Add in the obvious partisan politics of the majority, and you have to wonder what the hell is wrong with Chief Justice John Roberts, letting all this continue on his watch. It’s gotten so blatant that groups on the left that have been afraid to take on the court before, fearing blowback when they go before it, are joining together to demand court reform. Organizations and labor unions including Planned Parenthood, SEIU, AFT, NEA, and NARAL have created a coalition called United for Democracy specifically to push court reform. They are also demanding formal congressional investigations and hearings into Supreme Court corruption. [...] Should the trifecta be restored in 2025, a Democratic Congress and president are not going to have a choice on court reform. It’s case closed. And they had better start getting ready for it now.

The top item on the list the next time Democrats have a trifecta: reform the courts, especially SCOTUS. Recent revelations that at least 2 of the right-wing justices on the court have acted unethically should be a clarion call for every liberal/progressive American that SCOTUS is a compromised mess.
