We were doing the grocery shopping and Carlos, who usually stops by customer service to get a Lottery ticket, asked the woman at the counter where they had “chop sticks.” She said she didn’t think they had chopsticks, but maybe he could check the International Foods aisle and he, shocked, asked:

“Why would it be there?”

“As I said, I don’t think we have chopsticks but—”

“No, I need chap sticks … for my lips.”

And there’s the proof that it’s not just me playing Lucy to his Ricky.

On Sunday August 30, 2009, Carlos was working on a presentation on HIV/AIDS for a local high school and just like last week when he helped me  with the laundry, Tuxedo thought he’d help his other Daddy ... by laying on the presentation.

I could be wrong but last night when I ordered a pickup service this is what they sent me. I believe it’s called Uber Cakes.

This week on 60 Minutes Louisiana’s MAGAt governor Jeff Landry tried to claim that because he grew up in a town that had a majority Black population, he has lived the same experiences as Black Louisianans.

The ignorance of that statement is on another level and explains why the people of Louisiana are trying to recall him and have him removed from office.

A tourist who was filmed throwing a large rock at an endangered seal as it swam off the Lahaina shoreline boasted that he didn’t care about the consequences because he’s “rich.”

Police officers were called and obtained a description of the moron and found a 37-year-old adult man-child who matched the description of the suspect. He was detained, identified and advised of his legal rights, though he declined to make a statement and invoked his legal rights to an attorney.

I say put the “rich” fuck in the water and throw rocks at his head.

The South Carolina House of Representatives passed a bill this week to allow ivermectin, AKA horse-paste, to be sold to people without a prescription.

Seriously, it’s not the heat it’s the stupidity.

Once again Cankles snapped at a female reporter who questioned the cost of the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom™ and the demented doddering rapist racist became irate and said:

“I doubled the size of it you dumb person!”

Earlier this week he told a female reporter from ABC that she was an idiot, and after leaving an impromptu press conference he pointed into the crowd of reporters and muttered:

“She’s a bitch.”

Here’s the deal journalists, when you let this sexual predator talk to anyone like that and say nothing, you are complicit. I would just like to see one of you stand up for the women he denigrates on a regular basis.

It’s disgusting how y’all just stand there.

I just got done dogging South Carolina and now this comes along.

Apparently the South Carolina State Senate failed to advance the GOP redistricting efforts to carve up the state's existing congressional district map. So, how did that happen?

Five Republicans ,,, yes, you read that right ... voted against the effort despite pressure from Cankles who was urging South Carolina to play the racist card like Tennessee and Louisiana. The five Republicans who said 'No' and stood up to the demented bully are Shane Massey, Sean Bennett, Chip Campsen, Tom Davis, and Greg Hembree.

Good on them, though the fight is not quite over. I hope they continue to stand their ground.

Fares Ben M’barka is a model who holds both Tunisian and French nationalities but is based in Paris but other than all I know is he’s a strapping hunk at 6’3” tall. Knowing that, Would You Hit It?

The Bad and The Good ... Monday May, 2, 2022

These really are the easiest posts to compile because there are dumb people everywhere ... but that’s what makes it so frightening. So this week, I decided to include some Good News as sort of a palette cleanser for the crazies …

BAD

TENNESSEE

GOP Governor Bill Lee has signed a new bill to allow Ivermectin, AKA horse paste, to be available for the treatment of COVID-19 without a prescription in Tennessee. Horse.Paste.

Of note is that in 2019 Governor Lee declared that God would stop school shootings and opioid overdoses if enough people would just pray for it to happen. In 2020 he asked people to pray away the COVID.

How’s that workin’ for you, Governor? Looks like your god doesn’t care about school shootings, opioid deaths, or COVID.

OKLAHOMA

The state Senate approved a GOP bill to outlaw abortion, putting the state on track to be the first in the nation to enact a total abortion ban once the GOP governor signs the measure into law.

Raped and pregnant? Too bad. Victim of incest? Too bad. Not viable for mother or child to survive a pregnancy? Too fucking bad.

GEORGIA

GOP Governor Brian Kemp signed several education bills into law last week: one empowers the state school athletic association to exclude transgender athletes, one allows for the banning books, and one makes it wrong to teach history, well, real, true, history.

The world is going to hell in a  handbasket and Kemp is worried about books and history and transgender athletes.

OKLAHOMA

GOP Governor Kevin Stitt has signed a bill prohibiting the use of nonbinary gender markers on state birth certificates.

The bill followed a flap last year over the Department of Health’s agreement in a civil case allowing a nonbinary option. The birth certificate in that case was issued to an Oklahoma-born Oregon resident who sued after the agency initially refused the request. The GOP and Stitt were incensed and Stitt issued an executive order prohibiting any changes to a person’s gender on birth certificates.

FLORIDA

Jeremy Baldwin teaches social studies at Booker High School in Florida and has flown a rainbow colored Coexist flag in his classroom for four years without any problem, but shortly after the Don’t Say Gay law was signed he was forced to take it down because it’s “political” in nature.

Now, I get the rainbow part cuz, you know, gay is illegal and all, but the idea of asking people to coexist, regardless of their religious beliefs, is too hot a topic?

Oh Flori-duh.

GOOD

GEORGIA

About 200 members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans gathered at Stone Mountain over the weekend for an observation of Confederate Memorial Day, but they were met with roughly 100 counter protesters shouting and jeering, forcing the SCV speakers to struggle to be heard over the din. SCV member Kenneth Buggay said:

“These protesters are against our Christian faith. They are anti-Christ. We have been fighting this war since 1861. We will be victorious.”

You’ve been fighting for 161 years and you are nowhere near victorious, asshat.

KANSAS

The GOP-controlled House failed to override Democrat Governor Laura Kelly’s veto of a transgender sports ban, blocking the measure from becoming a law.

Kelly is the fourth governor this year to veto a transgender sports ban, though two of the others—Utah GOP Governor Spencer Cox and Kentucky Democrat Governor Andy Beshear—had their vetoes overridden by their state’s legislatures; the Indiana legislature has not yet tried to override GOP Governor Eric Holcomb’s veto.

FLORIDA

The Human Rights Campaign is welcoming people to Florida with new billboards:

“Governor Ron DeSantis welcomes you to Florida, the ‘Don’t say gay or trans’ State.”

The “Don’t say gay or trans” part is written over “Sunshine”—Florida’s official nickname.

UTAH

Jillian Orr recently graduated from Brigham Young University— a private university in Utah sponsored by the Mormon Church—but she may be in trouble with the university for her graduation stunt.

Orr, who is bisexual, sewed a rainbow flag into her graduation gown and showed it off at the ceremony, and then shared it to social media where it went viral.

Stand out. Speak out. Live out.

And CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE.
