O'Neill Not Ga-Ga over Gaga

An early note of the New Year;

Lady Gaga’s personal assistant is suing her boss $380,000 for unpaid overtime. According to her suit, Ms. O’Neill is also seeking unspecified damages.

The authoritative New York Post reports that Ms. Gaga – real name, Stefani Germanotta, was rather demanding. She required service on all occasions, at her upper West side duplex and in “stadiums, private jets, fine hotel suites, yachts, ferries, trains and tour buses.”

Ms. O’Neill was given no time for meals, breaks “or, at times, even sleep.” She was called upon by her boss at her “earliest waking hour” or for “spontaneous, random matters in the middle of the night,” according to court papers.

The Post reported:


“Part of O’Neill’s $75,000-a-year job was ‘ensuring the availability of chosen outfits’ — no small task considering her boss is best known for wearing a meat dress to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards and dressing like a ‘human condom’ for a February appearance on ‘Good Morning America.’”

Steve Hilton , a Fox News commentator who over the weekend had connected some Burisma corruption dots, had this to say about Connecticut U.S. Senator Dick Blumenthal’s association with the tangled knot of corruption in Ukraine: “We cross-referenced the Senate co-sponsors of Ed Markey's Ukraine gas bill with the list of Democrats whom Burisma lobbyist, David Leiter, routinely gave money to and found another one -- one of the most sanctimonious of them all, actually -- Sen. Richard Blumenthal."

Obamagod!

My guess is that Barack Obama is a bit too modest to consider himself a Christ figure , but artist will be artists. And over at “ To Wit ,” a blog run by professional blogger, journalist, radio commentator and ex-Hartford Courant religious writer Colin McEnroe, chocolateers will be chocolateers. Nice to have all this attention paid to Christ so near to Easter.

Did Chris Murphy Engage in Private Diplomacy?

Murphy after Zarif blowup -- Getty Images Connecticut U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, up for reelection this year, had “a secret meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif during the Munich Security Conference” in February 2020, according to a posting written by Mollie Hemingway , the Editor-in-Chief of The Federalist. Was Murphy commissioned by proper authorities to participate in the meeting, or was he freelancing? If the former, there is no problem. If the latter, Murphy was courting political disaster. “Such a meeting,” Hemingway wrote at the time, “would mean Murphy had done the type of secret coordination with foreign leaders to potentially undermine the U.S. government that he accused Trump officials of doing as they prepared for Trump’s administration. In February 2017, Murphy demanded investigations of National Security Advisor Mike Flynn because he had a phone call with his counterpart-to-be in Russia. “’Any effort to undermine our nation’s foreign policy – e
