Bobservations

Last week, I told the Tale of Carlos and his utter lack of pop culture in not knowing one single Janet Jackson song. This week, out shopping as  we’re walking through a department store, music is playing, and he says to me:

“Oh this is Michael’s sister, Janet.”

“No, sweetie, this is Whitney Houston.”

At the next stop, he heard the music playing and said:

“Ah, Janet.”

“It’s Rihanna.”

“Beyonce?”

“Rihanna.”

“Is she Michael’s sister?”

I thought it was going to be a long weekend until I saw the smirk on his face and knew he was messing with me.

You gotta be a special kind of stupid to rally behind a man who claims to be rich but makes you foot the bill to run  this country while he pays not one dime.

It’s become increasingly clear that Democrats are sexier than Republicans. I mean, has anyone ever heard anyone say, “Man, that’s a fine piece of elephant?”

The other day I received a notice from Twitter for my post about the spat between Large Marge and Bobo:

“We put a warning message on these Tweets because they might have sensitive content—like nudity, sexual content, violence, gore, or hateful symbols. We know we don’t always get it right. So if you think we flagged your Tweet by mistake, you can appeal the warning by clicking on each Tweet. Keep in mind, this doesn’t guarantee it’ll be removed.”

This is the Tweet:

“I want a cage match in Congress

#LargeMarge And #Bobo Taking Their Infighting Public https://t.co/ypjjHWyAXt

I challenged the blocking of the Tweet asking if it was the “nudity, sexual content, violence, gore, or hateful symbols” that caused the removal since there wasn’t any.

Sidenote: every single time Junior Tweets one of his homemade videos, I reply with:

“Do another line, and then fuck off, Junior.”

And that has never been flagged. The lesson is: tell Junior to fuck off and you’re golden, suggest two morons in the GOP take their high school mean girl spat to a cage match and that is just too much.

PS Twitter put the Tweet back up.

I was told the office Christmas party was fun, and that I had a really good time, but it all still seems a blur.

Speaking of GOP infighting, Ronna McDaniel, chair of the Republican National Committee, has some explaining to do about money spent last year while she was in charge: more than $500,000 in private jet expenses, $64,000 for clothes; $321,000 in floral arrangements; $400,000 for event tickets, including $30,000 for a private box at a Raiders game; $13,000 for Broadway shows, $9,400 at Madison Square Garden, and $43,000 at Top Golf. In addition, under McDaniel’s, the RNC spent $150,000 on non-essential office expenses, like $25,000 on Commonwealth Joe coffee, $7,000 on cupcakes, $7,000 on candles and diffusers, and $75,000 at Pottery Barn, West Elm, Restoration Hardware, and Crate & Barrel.

Hey Ronna, how does this help the party, or is this just making life richer for you?

I wrote a letter to Santa to see if I had been Naughty or Nice this year, and he wrote back saying I was more Mentally Disturbed. 

But at least it’s not Naughty and he promised he was bringing me a big package.

Believe it or not, but supermodel Tyson Beckford has just turned fifty-two years old. Now, 52 today ain’t your Daddy’s 52, but, c’mon, this is hot, which begs the question: Would You hit It?

  1. If he dresses in one of the outfits he's modeling and I get to take it off of him, then yeah, I'll hit it pretty good. That Josh Hawley Tweet is great. I'm glad your Tweet was reinstated. I'm not Tweeting these days because of the muskrat. Maybe I'll return later when he gets tired of playing with his new toy. I've never understood why the poor celebrate a man who brags about not paying taxes and often doesn't pay his bills. My son thought it was because they applauded someone who's stickin' it to The Man. It's all such bullshit. I love the Carlos anecdote. Hope you and your loved ones have a great Christmas.

    Love,
    Janie

    1. Luckily, it looks like Elon may be leaving Twitter in the hands of someone who's not a raging snowflake asshat.
      I get the idea of stickin' it to the man, but when you're low income and paying taxes and your hero skates around paying little or nothing, then you're a fool to support him.
      Merry Merry Janie!

  2. I hope Santa is good to both you and Carlos!

  3. Twitter has flagged me, too, because someone complained. You'd have thought that with her spending so much money on clothing, Ronna would have at least signed up for Weight Watchers. And there are a number of people pointing out Josh Hawley's interest in young men... and porn, Dash Dobrofsky has an interesting piece on his substack.

    1. I don't think anyone complained, and, like I said, I've Tweeted MUCH worse!

  4. That Santa should only give me the chance to show how naughty I can be. And, a brief man kiss with Josh Hawley...I may loose my breakfast just thinking about it.

    1. Between the package and Hawley, people are lining up for the package.

    That $ spent by RMcD - surely she knew it
    would be general knowledge and still did
    it?!

  7. I am sure that P Rudnik is right about Hawley, who is clearly as clueless about men as he is about women

    1. Hawley and Masculine do not go together.

  8. Would I hit it? Yes. Yes I would!

    That last tweet you shared is gold.

    And LOL at Carlos being a smartass! GOOD ONE, CARLOS!

  9. Sounds to me like Josh Holly is looking for dick!

    And I think that's pretty funny about Carlos. He comes across as not knowing pop culture. But I'll bet all alone he's doing that just to play with you.

    I received several big packages like that last year from Santa. It sure beat the bags of coal.

    1. Josh Hawley scurrying like a rat through Congress on 1/6 doesn't scream "masculine" at all!
      Oh no, Carlos is horrid at Pop Culture, but he knew he'd get me with his attempt!
      A good Christmas package is on every gay man's list!

  10. Good one, Carlos. I like it. Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Bob. You are one of the good ones and I am glad that we are blogging buddies. And best of luck getting your package this year.

  11. I can't believe more people are not outraged about the $300 million he got as a refund. If you live in a trailer? Are on public assistance of any kind? Earn minimum wage at Mac&Don's or WallySmart? Make less than $100 k a year? You should be livid. The nerve. And so far, the only ones in trouble are the IRS for not auditing him like they really, really, really should have?

    As for Tyson? He can be MY daddy anytime... (I'm a very good actor!) Kizzes.

  12. Chalk one up for Carlos. I've wondered if he had a blog and posted "Tales of Bob" what would be revealed.

  13. Hilarious, especially because the MITM is playing Christmas tunes and not that Horrid Mariah Carey in the background! Happy Holidays to you, Carlos, and the kitten krewe, sweetpea! xoxo

    Yay Carlos! I was just thinking how “masculine” Hawley looked dashing through the halls of Congress. Happy Holidays! I really enjoy reading your posts and look forward to them in 2023!

    1. Hawley's Chicken Run speaks volumes about his masculinity!
      Thanks for reading, and Happy Holidays!

  15. And, as with SG, snark is so much more effective when coming from Carlos — since he uses it so rarely.

    As for naughty, I think I need me some new swimwear for Christmas.

    Tyson Beckford? I’ve been thinking about that for years. Is he not one of the hottest, most handsome men in existence?

    1. When Carlos is snarky and funny, it's twice as hilarious!
      A slingshot for the beach perhaps??
      Tyson has been hot for all of his 52 years, I think.

  16. Have fun unwrapping the package.

  17. LOL@ Paul Rudnick! And thanks for prompting me to do some background reading on that delicious little spat between Boebert and MTG. What a clown show.

    PS: The answer is "shared racism," but then that's also ignorance, so ultimately either one is right!
