Over breakfast, I told Carlos that Janet Jackson was starting a new tour, and that her announcement was this simple Instagram post: ‘Hi. It’s Janet. A new tour is coming.’ He looked at me like he was a dog who’d heard a whistle.

“You don’t know Janet Jackson, do you?”

“I do. She’s Michael’s sister.”

“Name one Janet Jackson song. Just one. I’ll wait.”

Needless to say I’m still waiting. Goddess love the fact that his pop culture knowledge is nil.

Kyrsten Sinema has left the Democrats and registered as an Independent surprising no one at all, except those who thought she’d run right to the Republican party.

The south portico of the White House was lit up in rainbow colors this week after President signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law.

Yet the march goes on …

Good news out of Louisiana … Democrat Davante Lewis defeated the incumbent three-term Public Service Commissioner and fellow Democrat Lambert Boissiere III to become … wait for it … the first openly LGBTQ+ person elected to state office in Louisiana.

And it’s 2022.

Last week the Crook County Library in Oregon had a standing-room only crowd when it held a board meeting to discuss whether or not to segregate LGBTQ+-friendly children’s books into a separate section. The crowd overwhelmingly supported keeping the books where they are, and the board agreed in a 4-1 vote.

The march goes on …

Funny how no one noticed that the familiar Republican Party mascot pictured on the Patrick County GOP website hid KKK imagery in its negative space. It has since been replaced with the seal of the Commonwealth of Virginia but, yeah, sure, no one noticed.

Indiana Republicans drafted a censure letter to send to GOP Senator Todd Young because he voted in favor of passing the Respect For Marriage Act; in Indiana you are censured for voting against bigotry and racism.

Maybe they should use that KKK logo for their branch of the party.

The other day we had a rare Sunday morning work meeting and when I walked in I saw about ten co-workers gathered around the conference table and I said, loudly:

“Any of you bitches make coffee?”

One co-worker gasped, and said:

“Bob! My little girl is here.”

Feeling horrified, I asked:

“Well … did she make coffee?”

Cut to five minutes later when this same woman, in describing a certain client of ours, used the cute phrase “motherfucker” to describe him … in front of her child.

Note to self: bitch is bad, but motherfucker is fine.

While GMA3 co-anchors T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach have been temporarily pulled off air, viewers have been treated  to fill-ins for the adulterous pair … like new ABC hire DeMarco Morgan who may be gay, but that is neither here nor there … Would You Hit It?
