I Didn't Say It ...

Jasmine Crockett, Democrat Representative from Texas, on Cankles obsession with the Nobel Peace Prize:

“This self-obsessed president keeps whining about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize, but under his administration a father was just killed by ICE. Children are still locked away in detention centers. And this war he promised he’d end? It’s still going [so] spare us the pity party. We deserve better.”

Peace isn’t killing schoolgirls in Iran or Americans ion the streets of this country. Peace isn’t starting wars in Iran and threatening to start more wars.

But that illiterate fuck in the White House is too delusional to see that.

Hunter Biden, on the death of Miss Lindsey:

“When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of [Cankles]. I thought of the time before [Cankles] when he was a brother to Senator McCain. A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father, “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God every created.” This is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after [but] because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love. I will choose to remember the time before [Cankles] because I believe in an America after [him].”

Once again, Hunter is spot on … this time about the fall of Lindsey Graham after hitching his wagon to a traitor.

Thomas Massie, GOP Representative from Kentucky, on Cankles and the GOP screaming about election fraud:

“It’s ironic that we Republicans control the House, Senate, Supreme, Supreme Court and White House –and we’re lying about election fraud? We won all the damn elections. What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We Republicans are not cracking down on the fraud.”

Seriously, how do you control ever branch of governemt if the other party cheated at the election.

Make it make sense.

Raphael Warnock, Democrat Senator from Georgia, on Cankles perpetual fight to relitigate the outcome of the 2020 election:

“[He] lost in Georgia in 2020. That’s not my opinion, it’s a fact. The votes were counted, recounted, audited, and litigated. He lost, he lost, he lost. He’s trying to sow doubt on the integrity of our elections in Georgia a so he can create the pretext to interfere in 2026. This president is a liar, a cheater, and a fraud and he has shown us over and over again that staying in power matters more to him than anything else.”

We’ve all heard the phone call or Cankles demanding Georgia find 11,780 votes so he could win the state. And we all remember Miss Lindsey going after Georgia and being smacked down by ever single court, including Scotus.

Do not believe the GOP lies.

Michael Fanone, former DC police officer attacked on the Capitol on January 6, on Lindsey Graham’s death:

“Lindsey Graham is dead. I will always remember my first and only encounter with him when he looked the grieving mother of a dead police officer in the face and barked that he wasn’t going to listen to her blame [Cankles] for January 6^th. When I showed him my body cam footage of that day he turned away and looked at his phone. Rest in Piss, you fucking worthless scumbag. If there is a Hell I hope you’re in it.”

Harsh words? I don’t think so, not when you remember that the day after January 6 Lindsey Graham spoke in Congress saying he was “done” with Cankles after the insurrection, and then just a few months later he completely switched his opinion.

Res in Piss, indeed.

Last weekend we had a lawn service come out and give the back yard a refresh, trimming trees, cutting branches back, shaping hedges and holly bushes and the popcorn tree. The workers are all Latino so Carlos was walking them around the yard telling them what we wanted done and he didn't know I was there. 

At the side yard, under the trees, was our Pet Cemetery and I heard Carlos telling them that the big stones under the trees are cat and dog graves and not to remove those markers. But when he mentioned Tuxedo, whom I buried under the trees and then placed a rectangle paver over him, he told the men not to move the paver because that was the grave site of, as Carlos said, “El gato más espectacular de todos los tiempos” or “the most spectacular cat ever.”

All the times that Carlos poked at me for my love of The Great Tuxedo and now he says this.

I love that man.

This Tale of Tuxedo is from June 2010 and is entitled “Artist’s Model”:

"Years ago, in San Francisco, a friend and I stumbled upon a cool little furniture store in the Mission, where I saw this piece of wrought iron sculpture called "Twisted Kitty."

I bought it instantly.

This morning, finding Tuxedo on the floor, I wondered if, in one of his Nine Lives, he'd been the inspiration."

Tuxedo was a lot of things but he was most definitely bendy!

Sam Neill, star of the original “Jurassic Park,” died Monday at 78. His death came just two months after he announced he was cancer-free following his battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. 

I had a crush on Sam ever since I saw him in “Dead Calm” with Nicole Kidman. As both a younger man and an older man he was always a most handsome fella.

RIP

Lindsey Graham has barely boarded the Handbasket to Hell and already the South Carolina Sludge™ is eyeing his seat … Nancy Mace, whom the entire state just said “Oh Hell no” to when she ran for governor is lurking around, and so is Nikki “I am the Queen of Flip Flopping” Haley.

Oh, and Cankles wants Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a native of South Carolina, to run for the seat and at least with him you’d be trading one sold-his-soul-to-the-Devil closeted gay man for a sold-his-soul-to-the-Devil out gay man.

Dear goddess, let’s get Democrat Annie Andrews into that office!

Remember married Kristin Cabot, the woman caught on camera at a Coldplay concert making out with her married boss, on the Jumbotron?

Well, I guess her fifteen minutes of fame wasn’t enough for the boss’ sidepiece and Kristin is now telling anyone who will listen that Coldplay frontman Chris Martin never reached out to check on her.

Oh Kristin, go sit in a corner and think about what you’ve done, and then get a real life.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if football players dressed like this I might be more interested in watching them, um, “play.”

In a Sunday night Truth Social post, the 80-year-old demented man in the White House claimed that his approval rating was ::: hold for laughter ::: “59 percent” and that “prices [were] coming down along with the lowering of oil and gas.”

Seriously? Could anyone in DC get the straitjacket and haul this doddering old rapist off to the Nut Barn?

Architecture Wednesday: The Old Ballroom

Now this is how you do a ballroom, you know …

This home was once a ballroom in a former Edwardian hotel on Loughborough Road in south-west London before being renovated into an expansive three-bedroom, three-bathroom 1880 square foot apartment.

Originally conceived as a grand hotel for the urban expansion of Lambeth, the building is nestled among grand Victorian and Edwardian villas that were built to accommodate merchants and clerks leaving the smog of the city. It was also a salsa club and an acrobat arena before it was converted into apartments in 2008 all while retaining its original decorative scheme and grandeur.

Situated on the first floor—what we call the second floor in America—the apartment has an amplified sense of volume with soaring ceilings and a number of mezzanine levels, as well as a stuccoed dome that provides a focal point; the dome was recently repainted and wired with atmospheric up-lighting.

The open plan kitchen features a charming outdoor terrace paved with chequerboard flags and catches the south-facing sun. It has plenty of room for a table and chairs as well as pots full of herbs and flowers for the horticulturally inclined.

The main reception area opens up to a double-height space finished in a pastel palette while light floods into the space via expansive sash windows, which have recently undergone a full restoration to improve energy efficiency. A working fireplace provides a central point for the sitting room while the main floor includes an office, a full bathroom and adjoining bedroom currently used as a nursery.

Upstairs, on the left mezzanine, is the primary bedroom suite, with intricate decorative period plasterwork stretching out overhead and along the upper part of the walls. The room also has dual-aspect windows looking over the front and side of the street as well as an en suite bathroom with a large tub edged in Moroccan tiles, a vanity and water closet.

On the opposite side of the upper story is a second bedroom suite, with windows to the front, built-in storage space and a separate en suite.
