Why Is It ...

… that I eat salad every day. Bean salad. Coffee Bean Salad … Coffee. I drink coffee every day.

… that when I think of donating my body to science I tend to think science will donate my body to Goodwill.

… that deep down I want to touch an electric fence to see if it really works.

… that what people don’t know about me is that I will find out; I’m a Findoutologist; I got a PHD in Findoutology.

… that I love people who ask if they can call me, and smile when I say, ‘No, you can’t but thanks for asking.’

… that people assume I’m home just because they see me on my front porch.

… that at the movies last week a security guard told me I couldn’t bring in outside food. Has he never heard of a service burrito?

… that I won’t wait for the tables to turn when I can easily hurl a chair.

… that some days I go to work and make my coworkers wonder what is wrong with me, and then I clock out.

I Didn't Say It

Yusef Salaam, Korey Wise, Raymond Santana and Kevin Richardson, four of the Central Park Five— Antron McCray could not attend—speaking at the DNC of being falsely accused of rape in 1989 and having The Felon suggest they be put to death:

“[The Felon] wanted us killed. He wanted us dead. We spent a combined 47 years in prison. We were exonerated after the perpetrator confessed and DNA proved it. Yet today, [The Felon] still stands  by his original call for us to be executed. HE WILL NEVER CGANGE. Together, on November 5, we will usher Kamala Harris into the White House and Americas will finally say goodbye to that hateful man.”

The Felon never, NEVER, admits he’s wrong, even when faced with proof. Facts don’t matter; he is right, always. Even when proven wrong.

Megyn Kelly, Fox Entertainment has-been, on her podcast, calling journalist Kaitlyn Collins disgusting and a bitch:

“The media of course has been disgusting, you know, no one’s surprised. But it is kind of fun when it gets called out. And yesterday—or last week there was a viral clip of Kaitlan Collins, who CNN is trying to make into a star—I’m sorry, but she’s only a star with leftists and the fact that she has some roots in Alabama does not make her a fair and balanced reporter. I will submit for the record: Her biggest sin is not that she is biased, though she is, it’s that she’s boring. She’s extremely boring with no personality. I have a pro tip for her: Smile, try smiling every once in a while. Try not to be, like in your delivery, such a cold-hearted bitch all the time, because it gives people nothing to bond to.”

It sure sounds like Kelly is a woman-hating, lying PPOS podcaster jealous of another woman sitting atop a cable news network like she used to do when she was, in her own mind, relevant.

Pete Buttigieg, on Fox News … well, Fox Entertainment, on The Felon’s presidency:

“He didn’t keep his promise of 6% economic growth. He broke his promise to pass an infrastructure bill. He even broke his promise to that J6 mob when he said, ‘I will be at your side when you march down to the Capitol.’ But he actually did keep two promises: He kept his promise to destroy the right to choose in this country, and he kept his promise on tax cuts to the rich. If you want to know what a second [Felon] term would look like, I would look at those rare promises that he actually managed to keep. He’s disavowed a lot of things. I don’t believe him. He lies all the time. Republicans who are in [his] personality cult look at [him] and say he’s perfectly fine even though he seemed unable to tell the difference between Haley and Pelosi, even though he’s rambling about electrocuting sharks and Hannibal Lecter. We don’t have that kind of warped reality on our side. Crime is down under Joe Biden and crime was up under [The Felon]. Now, I don’t know how often that gets reported on this network, so if you’re watching this at home, do yourself a favor and look up the data. Why would America want to go back to the higher crime that we experienced under [The Felon]?”

Listen to Pete; common sense and facts, not bull shiz and lies from The Felon and his ilk, er, ick.

Ana Navarro, speaking of The Felon at the DNC:

“Let’s be serious. [The Felon] and his minions call Kamala a communist. I know communism. I fled communism from Nicaragua when I was 8 years old. I don’t take it lightly. And let me tell you what communist dictators do. And it’s never just for one day. They attack the free press. They call them the enemy of the people like Ortega does in Nicaragua. They put their unqualified relatives in cushy government jobs so they can get rich off their positions like the Castros do in Cuba and they refuse to accept legitimate elections when they lose and call for violence to stay in power like Maduro is doing right now in Venezuela. Now you tell me something. Do any of those things sound familiar? Is there anybody running for president who reminds you of that?”

Ana used to be a Republican, and a conservative journalist, but something happened in 2016 that caused her to change her mind.

Tammy Duckworth, Democrat Senator from Illinois, who lost both legs in the Iraq War, on another of The Felon’s anti-military speeches:

“[He] is despicable. He doesn’t deserve to be commander in chief. And certainly those remarks are consistent with where he’s always been. He thinks that we’re suckers and losers. Do voters want a five-time draft dodger who denigrates military men and women and our veterans and calls us suckers and losers, who doesn’t want to have his picture taken with amputee veterans of various conflicts to be the next commander in chief or are you going to have Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, who care deeply about veterans? It’s despicable what Republicans are doing. The same party that thinks that [The Felon], who dodged a draft five times, who thinks veterans are suckers and losers, that’s who they think is better than someone who served 24 years in uniform.”

The party of the military, the party of veterans, supports a man who dodged the draft five times because his feet hurt; a man who claimed staying safe from STDs was his own personal Vietnam; a man who belittled John McCain for his service; a man who stayed away from a ceremony honoring Americans who died on D-day because it was raining; and a man who has called soldiers “losers and suckers.”

Chris Sununu, GOP New Hampshire Governor trying to explain away The Felon’s vile comments on recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor:

“Yeah, they were asinine comments. There’s no doubt about that. Again, I don’t think they’re the first asinine comments former President Trump has ever made. I don’t think they’ll be a game changer in terms of the election. So to make these types of comparisons is so far afield, I don’t think it’s going to be a big politically, big politically in terms of moving votes. He said crazy things like this before. At the end of the day, he’s got to just focus on what Americans are feeling, which is the economy, the stresses, the border crisis, the migrant crisis.”

Ignore the military hating, racist, rapist, traitor, con artist behind the curtain?

No thank you.

Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader, on this election:

“I’m confident that we’re going to do everything that we need to do over the next few months to make sure that House Democrats take back the majority so the American people do not have to encounter that question [on House Republicans refusing to certify the election]. It is a reality that far too many of my extreme MAGA Republican colleagues in the House have engaged in election denial, conspiracy theories, and have tried to undermine the very fabric of our democracy and the peaceful transfer of power. That’s what Project 2025 is all about.”

As if you needed another reason to vote blue, howsabout making sure the certification of the election goes off without a hitch.

Jerushah Duford, Billy Graham’s granddaughter, coming out for Kamala Harris:

“In 2016, when a man bragged about assaulting women, various leaders of my faith then propped up this man as a poster boy for godly manhood and leadership. This broke my heart as I have watched—quite frankly, for the last eight years—people who were curious about Jesus and His teachings [have] done a 180 and walked in the other direction from my faith.”

To be a person of faith, so-called faith, and throw your support behind a con artist, sexual predator, pussy grabber, racist rapist, shows everyone, including Franklin Graham, your true colors.

And it must make true Christians lose their minds.

We all know about Carlos’ eyesight and his limited knowledge of popular, or current culture, so here’s a little tale about that.

One rainy Sunday I was curled up in a living room chair watching TV and Carlos came into the room:

“What are you watching? Will & Grace?”

‘Why that show? What makes you think it’s Will & Grace?”

“I hear a man and a woman talking and there’s laughing.”

“So any time you hear a TV show with a man and woman talking and laughing it’s Will & Grace?”

“I don’t know … “

“Why don’t you just ask, ‘What are you watching?’

This past weekend I was watching a movie and Carlos enters the room:

“What are you watching? The Terminator?”

“Why that movie?”

“I don’t know. I thought I heard a robot.”

“Why don’t you say, ‘What are you watching?’”

“What are you watching?”

“Spiral.”

“I don’t know that movie.”

“Sigh … I know.”

The man slays me.

This Tuxedo Memory is from March 2019 and is entitled ‘Lazy Weekend ...For Some of Us’

 "We spent the morning on Friday getting the taxes done and were surprised to see we were getting a rather healthy refund.

That was nice. But then, with the onset of spring, and some slightly warmer days, there were lawns to mow and hedges to trim, and a ten-foot-tall holly bush off the deck that needed to be reshaped for spring; a little help with the ladder and I was able to give Holly a haircut.

Sunday was Carlos' turn in the yard and trimming bushes and replanting a tree and weeding along the fence.

Fun times. But we did manage to squeeze in some time with Tuxedo on the deck. Our cats don't go outside because, living in a somewhat rural area, there are all kinds of things they can catch from critters that roam through our yard. Still, Tuxedo is allowed out, and on the table on the deck, but only with supervision, AKA me, and only when it's nice and sunny for him to warm his bones, and then take a breather in the sun.

Not a bad life, really, for us, and Tuxedo.”

I miss those days on the deck with my Boy and my Man.

The Felon’s campaign may talk a big game, but when faced with potential legal action from Beyoncé, they folded like the ill-fitting, makeup-stained suit of their candidate.

On Thursday, Beyoncé issued a cease and desist to The Felon’s campaign after spokesperson Steven Cheung posted a video on social media featuring DonOLD deplaning in Michigan, soundtracked to Beyoncé’s song “Freedom.”

“Freedom” is, of course, the official campaign theme song of Vice President Kamala Harris—a choice that Beyoncé personally approved, so naturally The Felon tried to steal it.

In the Sorry Not Sorry file comes news that former Representative current convicted felon George Santos’ campaign has $562 in cash on hand but also owes $786,932 in debt.

Santos faces at least two years in federal prison for identity theft and up to 20 years in prison for wire fraud.

I don’t think he can all that back even working full-time in the prison laundry.

I guess if you’re a cowboy and you’ll be riding horses all day, it helps to come equipped with the extra padding.

The man who calls himself The Felon’s Prophet, Johnny Enlow, has a very exciting announcement: a big-time celebrity is going to endorse The Felon! And even better that celebrity is … dead. Or maybe a celebrity who faked his or her death? Or a celebrity zombie?

We won’t know right away because Enlow claims he’s “not yet allowed” to reveal the name of the dead celebrity.

Dead celebrities can be hard to work with, I’m guessing.

The so-called “Catwoman,” Jocelyn Wildenstein has given the world a look at her original face. The Swiss socialite, 82, looked like a blond bombshell lounging on a couch with her daughter Diane sitting on her lap. With her hair coiffed in a wavy bob, Wildenstein appeared casual and chic while peering off into the distance.

But then she did this … and then this and Catwoman was born.

And now she looks like this … and then this after having gone through multiple face lifts, eye lifts and more.

Jocelyn’s post comes after she claimed her late ex-husband Alec Wildenstein’s family cutting her off from her $100 million annual divorce settlement payment and so now, to make a few coins to pay for any future renovations to her face, Jocelyn is making a documentary about her life and faces.

This is Uriah Harris. He’s a model, trainer, lifestyle coach, has a nice smile and a pretty body, so I ask: Would You Hit It?

Architecture Wednesday: 1920s Eagle Rock Bungalow

This 1920s California  Bungalow was reimagined into a home, a separate casita with full bath, and a freestanding studio/office/gym compound in 2011.

You enter into a dramatic open-plan great room, with a living room featuring an exposed brick fireplace and bookshelf tucked to one side and a large dining area with a minimalist, open stairway to a family room loft anchoring the other. The central hub and communal space of the house is its spacious kitchen with an island crafted out of  old-growth Douglas fir and surrounded with custom cabinets and open shelving.

Along one side of the house are an office, a kid’s room, bathroom, and primary suite with its own en suite bath. Outside is a lounge and dining area and a secluded garden with a covered patio, planting areas, space for a future pool, a firepit at the rear of the property  along with that one-bedroom, one bath casita, with laundry, and a separate studio space.
