NO SOUNDS OF SILENCE

A fan thanks Alec for not
physically assaulting her.

In our previous chapter of What's Up with Alec?, I speculated that the actor-turned-not-so-sharp-shooter appears to do something to win sympathy in order to deflect from yet another negative news story featuring his name in the headline -- a news story, it must be emphasized, that he himself caused. 

This week, we learned that Baldwin was at the wrong end of another lawsuit, although, surprisingly, not connected to a death he caused. You can read the details here. 

But if you're one of the TLDR crowd, it boils down to this: Baldwin posted the name and photo of an Afghan war widow who was in Washington the day of the 2021 riot but didn't take part in the violence. She and her sister -- who wasn't even there, but whom Baldwin identified as an insurrectionist -- were then subjected to harassing and threatening emails from his 2.4 million Instagram strangers. 

Six hundred pages worth of emails. Things like “Get raped and die, worthless cunt. Your brother got what he deserved.” Sounds like something Baldwin would say. And if you don' believe me, Baldwin then followed the sender on Instagram. You know, like a fan. 

I carry no water for anybody who took part in the violence. But the woman was cleared by the FBI. So, it's rather interesting that Baldwin -- who, in his favor, had earlier donated $5,000 to the widow and her yet-unborn child -- had, from a crowd of 10,000, focused on one woman. Or should I say "aimed"?

Hey where's your mask, Alec? Oh I know, you want
the photographer to recognize you!

That was Monday. On Tuesday, good ol' family man Alexander Rae Baldwin III was photographed taking the wife and kids for an afternoon at the Musuem of Natural History.... only to discover that it was closed. 

So what was a professional celebrity paparazzo doing outside a closed museum? I mean, I see these guys prowling the city, scouting around for a money shot. But what are the odds he happened to be at a museum that wasn't even open just as the Baldwin clan arrives without a heads-up? (And another thing: don't these kids ever go to school?)

Who knew that Caesarstone Quartz
could be so spiritual?

Then this morning, Alec posted a photo of what appears to be the top of a closet in his bathroom where an artificial rainbow had appeared. You must read its accompanying missive -- and, as you do, try to hear it in your head in Baldwin's softer voice, as if he were shilling for Rolex:

The Beauty in Silence

My favorite part of the day is early in the morning when I get up before anyone else and the house is totally silent. I spend that time with God, and I find that the silence strengthens me and helps me get focused for the day. I spend some time just sitting and enjoying it.

Our world today is very noisy, busy, and at times very stressful. When you feel stressed or frustrated, go somewhere that is silent and just enjoy if for a few minutes; I believe you will find that your soul begins to calm down. Inner peace and quiet are vital for hearing from God or sensing the direction He wants us to take.

Outer silence helps promote inner silence. Learn to love ❤️ silence and you will be more inclined to hear the still, small voice of God. At a time when Elijah desperately needed to receive direction from God, he had to wait until all noise passed , and only when he was in a gentle stillness did he hear the still, small voice of God speaking to him

Always be closing your mouth.

To quote Bugs Bunny, Oh, buh-RUH-ther! Since when has Alec Baldwin ever
enjoyed silence? It's no coincidence that Baldwin's single greatest performance is his scene in Glengarry Glen Ross where he does nothing but threaten the real estate agents for five straight minutes. He wasn't acting.

"Outer silence helps promote inner silence" -- true dat, Alec. So shut up already!

No, don't. You're the greatest muse a two-bit blogger could ever have. Well, your wacky wife's pretty good, too. Now get your kids in school!
