So this is about the Absentminded Professor Carlos AKA The Chocoholic and how he makes me laugh.

See, the other night he asked if I wanted some hot chocolate and I said sure. So he sets about making it but then calls me to the kitchen because he says we’re out of chocolate. I say we can’t be out because there’s an unopened box in the cupboard and another box with a little bit of chocolate left inside.

“I only have the one with very little chocolate.”

“Well, the full box was under the open box the other day.”

“All I have is the open box.”

So I go into the kitchen and look up on the shelf where the cocoa powder goes and there’s none there. And then Carlos holds up the open box and says:

“This is all we have.”

“Yesterday there was an unopened box and an open box on that same shelf. Are you sure you didn’t use–”

And my eyes drop down to the counter where a pristine unopened box of cocoa powder sits, waiting to be used in hot chocolate and I point it out to him.

“You’re gonna write about this on your blog, right?”

“No, sweetie pie, I would never—”

Let’s keep this our secret.

From December 2009, this is Tuxedo Sunday, with that handsome boy posing on the bed in the guestroom.

He did love a camera pointed his way …

As we start Pride Month here are a few reminders before anyone rants …

Veterans and members of the Military get two months … May and November.

Straight Pride isn’t a thing because straight people were never oppressed, refused legal rights, or murdered for being straight.

Trans men are men, and trans women are women.

Your religion is meant to guide you, not everyone else.

No one is forcing you to attend Pride events; it’s not a hostage situation so if you don’t want to go, don’t go. Just mind your own business.

Carry on …

Minneapolis law enforcement authorities, along with the Texas Rangers, apprehended ICEstapo agent Christian Castro last week and arrested him for shooting an INNOCENT Venezuelan immigrant in Minneapolis in January.

As ICEstapo agents do, Castro lied about the shooting then fled Minnesota for Texas. He now faces four felony charges of aggravated assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime.

I hope they lock him up in one of their detention centers for life and I hope they get him on state charges so Cankles cannot pardon him or pay him off from the slush fund.

Former Oklahoma Republican Assistant District Attorney Kevin Etherington, who served Payne and Logan counties, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for child pornography charges.

Court documents state investigators seized three SD cards, three flash drives and a laptop from Etherington’s home with over 153 photos and videos of girls under 9 years old being abused in a Google Drive that belonged to Etherington.

NOT TRANSGENDER!! 

NOT A DRAG QUEEN!! 

NOT AN IMMIGRANT!!

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals dealt Cankles and DUI-hire Hegseth a defeat on the first day of Pride Month when they ruled that kicking out trans troops is unconstitutional and driven only by fear and hatred.

Happy Pride!!

Meanwhile, while many of us celebrate Pride, in Arkansas where it’s still the 1950s Governor Sarah Huckleberry Sanders has declared June to be “Fidelity Month” in her state, a time to “encourage renewed dedication to virtue, commitment, responsibility and shared moral foundations.”

This is rich coming from a former Cankles Press Secretary who propped up an adjudicated rapist, sexual predator, and accused child molester with three marriages and countless affairs in his lifetime.

You cannot make this shiz up.

Award-winning broadcaster Scott Pelley spent nearly four decades at CBS News, reported from war zones, covered presidents, anchored the network’s evening newscast, and became one of the defining faces of 60 Minutes. 

CBS News terminated Pelley this week after he publicly accused Bari Weiss, the network’s editor-in-chief, of "murdering" 60 Minutes and questioned the qualifications of newly installed executive producer Nick Bilton.

Bye CBS.

Just a thought … you don’t get four cognitive tests in eighteen months unless the doctors are monitoring your dementia.

I Didn't Say It ...

Candice Bergen, taking a shot at JD Vance at the 2024 Emmy Awards:

"[On ‘Murphy Brown’] I was surrounded by brilliant and funny actors, had the best scripts to work with, and in one classic moment, my character was attacked by Vice President Dan Quayle when Murphy became pregnant and decided to raise the baby as a single mother. Oh, how far we've come. Today, a Republican candidate for Vice President would never attack a woman for having kids. So as they say, my work here is done. Meow."

Former Vice President Dan Quayle called out the TV show in May 1992 and said that Brown's character "mocks the importance of fathers."

It seems JD Vance is Dan Quayle 2.0.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, The Felon’s liar and Press Secretary, seeming to mock Kamala Harris for not having biological children while telling a story about a chat with her daughter:

″‘It’s okay, mommy [she said], one day you can be pretty too.' So my kids keep me humble. Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping her humble. You would think after four years of straight failure, she would.”

First off, Klannie Oakley, Kamala is a step-mother which makes her a parent, unless you think anyone one who adopts a child or marries someone with children, is not a parent.

Secondly, you wonky-eyed moron, if you don’t like Kamala’s policies, attack her all you want, but this personal attack, woman to woman, is childish and stupid and proves you are just a brainless pawn for the white GOP men.

And lastly, Aunt Lydia, aren’t you the one who rolled back child labor protections in Arkansas, including removing the requirement for employers to secure work certificates for minors under 16? Yes, and a month before the bill was enacted, a food sanitation company was fined $1.5 million for employing minors in hazardous meatpacking roles in Arkansas.

Please don’t talk about children at all and leave them the fuck alone.

Kerstin Emhoff, Doug Emhoff’s ex-wife, and documentary filmmaker, firing back at Sanders with an instant fact-check:

"Cole and Ella keep us inspired to make the world a better place. I do it through storytelling. Kamala Harris has spent her entire career working for the people, ALL families. That keeps you pretty humble."

I’ll take one Kamala over a thousand Klannie Oakley’s any day.

One Kerstin, too.

Melanie, promoting her upcoming $250—yes, you read that right—book, on her nude photos:

“Why do I stand proudly behind my nude modeling work? The more pressing question is why has the media chosen to scrutinize my celebration of the human form in a fashion photo shoot? Are we no longer able to appreciate the beauty of the human body? Throughout history, master artists have revered the human shape, evoking profound emotions and admiration. We should honor our bodies and embrace the timeless tradition of using art as a powerful means of self-expression.”

No, Melanie, the more pressing question is why this story has been around since before 2016 and yet only now are you talking about your soft-core porn photo shoot.

It’s to sell books, that’s all; you have no altruistic motive other than to make money so save your holier-than-thou celebrate the human body bull shiz for anyone who believes you.

Steph Curry, on Haitians, Kamala  and the debate:

“My beautiful half Haitian mother will be roasting a pig tonight, just like Kamala Harris did during the debate.”

Snap.

Marlon Wayans, on Elon Musk disowning his transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson:

“I don’t like what he be saying about his trans child. You don’t treat them babies like that, you don’t disown your baby. Love your child! But as hard as it was, I think that it’s not important. It’s important what you went through; the five steps of grief, but I think it’s important that you get to acceptance and I’m proud to say it took me a week—but it felt like forever. I’m sad to say some parents, some family members, and some people it’ll take them a lifetime. They’ll never get to that magical place that I’m at which is just acceptance. Still my child. That’s my baby.”

One father who admits to not quite understanding the trans issue but loving his child unconditionally and listening and learning, and another father who deadnames his trans child and then disowns her.

That’s the difference between a father and a sperm donor.

Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation , condemning false claims lies by The Felon and The Couchfucker about Haitians eating dogs:

“This is a strategy to get us talking about the latest crazy thing that he did [because] the last thing he wants us to do is to talk about his record or his agenda. So what he wants us talking about is whatever crazy nonsense he can thrust into the center of the internet and the media conversation, which this week happens to be this stuff about eating cats or dogs or geese or whatever. He doesn’t want us talking about the fact that we lost manufacturing jobs on his watch even before Covid, which is why the United Auto Workers are against him. He doesn’t want us talking about the fact that his main economic policy promise he actually kept was to cut taxes for the rich. He doesn’t want us talking about how he demolished the right to choose in this country, that he’s the reason that even IVF could be banned in many places in this country. This is a country of 300 million people. They’ll probably sooner or later find some case where somebody somewhere did something weird to a cat and try to make that into a reason to prolong this so that we could be talking about anything but [The Felon]’s track record of destroying jobs in this country and destroying the right to choose, and the fact that if given the chance to do so again, that’s what he would double down on. Every election is about the future. Kamala Harris [is] talking about the future, [while] [The Felon]’s talking about the past. He wants us talking about people allegedly eating cats, which is not happening.”

Once again, Pete boils it down to simple facts.

Pay attention to the lies and nonsense, but don’t get swallowed up by them. Remember who The Felon is, and what he’s done, and who he’s chosen as his running mate, and what that fool stands for, and then vote Blue, all the way.

I Didn't Say It ...

JD Vance, on Swifty’s endorsement of Kamala Harris:

“We admire Taylor Swift’s music, but I don’t think most Americans, whether they like her music or are fans of hers or not, are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans."

Has JD not met his running mate? You know, that billionaire celebrity who is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans?

Seriously, you cannot make this shiz up!

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, world famous liar, on Kamala Harris:

“It is absurd that she does not take questions from the press, from the American people, and so I think this is actually a much more important night for her because it’s so rare that we hear from her, that we hear her take questions, or that we know anything that she actually stands for. I think that’s why you’re hearing so much about the preparation for Vice President Harris because this isn’t something she does very often, and I think she has a lot to get ready for. I don’t think that she’s up to the challenge, in large part not just because I don’t know that she’s a great debater, but she’s so wrong on the issues that Americans care about, and she has a terrible track record to talk about.”

Wait, Huckleberry, you say that nobody knows what Harris stands for AND she is also wrong about everything she stands for?

What a moron.

Raphael Warnock, Georgia Democrat Senator, on that school shooting in Georgia:

“I spent Friday night with the wonderful people of Winder, Georgia. And I thought about it as I was sitting there and thought about my own days as a high school student a long time ago. But it was Friday night. We should’ve been at a high school football game with high school students cheering on their classmates. Instead, they were mourning their classmates and two teachers. Look, we can do better than this. We—we have to begin with the fact that this is a tragic form of American exceptionalism. This doesn’t happen all over the world. Nowhere else—where you have a country that’s not at war—do you have this kind of routine random violence as just a part of the tragic everyday lives of people. Listen, 14-year-olds don’t need AR-15s, and we need to get these military-style weapons off the streets. 87% of Americans—Democrats and Republicans, according to a Fox News report last year—believe that we ought to have universal background checks and still we can’t even get that done in Congress. The reality is that in America, it’s not safe to be in our schools. It’s not safe to be in our shopping malls. It’s not safe to be in the spa. It’s not safe to be in a medical clinic. We’re all sitting ducks. And this does not happen everywhere in the world. The problem is that we have politicians in our country who are beholden to the gun lobby. And either based on ambition or fear, they go to work every day doing their bidding while the gun lobby lines its pockets with the blood of our children. The least we can do is move forward on the bipartisan spaces where ordinary people agree. Clearly, there’s a disconnect between what the people, the American people want and what they’re able to get out of their government.”

If We The People demand sensible gun control, the Congress should give it to us, and if they don’t: REMOVE THEM FROM OFFICE!

Richard Grenell, homocon former cabinet member for The Felon, on how mean Kamala was to poor DonOLD:

“Millions of people are watching tonight for the first time. What the ABC moderators just did is completely prove to these millions of people that the media are out to get [The Felon]. We couldn’t have scripted this better. Both moderators were so over the top attacking [The Felon] and not attacking Harris. My phone was lighting up from my friends and family, people who don’t normally watch politics, who could vote either way, saying things like, wow, the media is so biased, look at them going after [The Felon]. I hope the media, who always say we don’t want personal attacks from [The Felon], recognize that all Kamala Harris did tonight was attack  [The Felon] in ruthless ways, mean-spirited ways. She was very nasty about that and I hope that she gets called out for that. She wasn’t talking about policies because she missed the opportunity to explain all of these videos that we’ve been seeing of her as a radical Californian. We know her policies, and she didn’t explain any of those. She just kept attacking [The Felon].”

Oh Dick—may I call you Dick since you’re acting like a Dick—wants to paly The Billionaire As Victim card. And the line about people calling him who don’t watch politics are now voting for The Felon cuz Kamala took him down is a typical ReTHUGlican lie.

Sit down, Dick.

Roy Cooper, North Carolina Democrat Governor, on the presidential race in his state:

“It’s close here in North Carolina. It always is. This was Biden-Harris’s closest loss in 2020, only 1.3 percent. So the fact that Kamala Harris, as Vice President of the United States, has been to North Carolina 17 times shows that she cares about our state. She knows that we are in play. And she knows that if she wins North Carolina, she is the next President of the United States because [The Felon] has no other pathway. When we continue to get this information out to the American public, and to people here in North Carolina, that Kamala Harris has an economic plan that’s going to help lower the cost for everyday people, that’s going to help families thrive, that is going to protect women’s reproductive freedom. I think at the end of the day, that’s going to be what works here.”

Listen up NC.

Go toward the future or live in the past when women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ folks were less than.

The Felon, in his literal 53RD post about the debate, inventing some loony tune “poll” in order to justify weaseling out of more debates, which he was calling for until the day after he bombed the debate:

“When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I WANT A REMATCH.’ Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate, on Tuesday night, and she immediately called for a Second Debate. She and Crooked Joe have destroyed our Country, with millions of criminals and mentally deranged people pouring into the USA, totally unchecked and unvetted, and with Inflation bankrupting our Middle Class. Everyone knows this, and all of the other problems caused by Kamala and Joe – It was discussed in great detail during the First Debate with Joe, and the Second Debate with Comrade Harris. She was a no-show at the Fox Debate, and refused to do NBC & CBS. KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD. THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!”

Every time I see his name now, all I hear is the shrieking: “They’re eating dogs!”

Linda Ronstadt, singer, activist, LGBTQ+ icon, on The Felon holding a rally in Tucson’s Linda Ronstadt Music Hall:

“[The Felon] is holding a rally on Thursday in a rented hall in my hometown. I would prefer to ignore that sad fact. But since the building has my name on it, I need to say something. It saddens me to see the former President bring his hate show to Tucson, a town with deep Mexican-American roots and a joyful, tolerant spirit. “I don’t just deplore his toxic politics, his hatred of women, immigrants and people of color, his criminality, dishonesty and ignorance—although there’s that. For me it comes down to this: In Nogales and across the southern border, [The Felon]Administration systematically ripped apart migrant families seeking asylum. Family separation made orphans of thousands of little children and babies, and brutalized their desperate mothers and fathers. It remains a humanitarian catastrophe that Physicians for Human Rights said met the criteria for torture. There is no forgiving or forgetting the heartbreak he caused. [As for JD Vance] I raised two adopted children in Tucson as a single mom. They are both grown and living in their own houses. I live with a cat. Am I half a childless cat lady because I’m unmarried and didn’t give birth to my kids? Call me what you want, but this cat lady will be voting proudly in November for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”

Ronstadt was the second rock legend with Arizona roots to speak out on politics; Phoenix-born Stevie Nicks encouraged fans to register and vote for “the candidate that speaks to you and your beliefs” in a social media post she signed “Love, Stevie Nicks, Childless Dog Lady.”

The other day as we were running errands a song came on the radio by an artist I don’t much care for, though this particular tune is one of my favorites. So naturally I began signing while driving:

“♫♪Look around, everywhere you turn is heartache; it's everywhere that you go. Come on, vogue. Let your body move to the music. Hey, hey, hey!♪♫”

I turned to Carlos and said:

“Sing it!!!”

“I don’t know this song!”

I nearly drove off the road.

“What kind of homosexual are you that you don’t know ‘Vogue’ by Madonna? … ♫♪ Come on, vogue. Let your body go with the flow. You know you can do it.♪♫”

“Sing it! ♫♪ All you need is your own imagination, so use it, that's what it's for.♪♫”

“I don’t know the words!”

“Bad gay! Very Bad gay!!!  ♫♪ Beauty's where you find it, not just where you bump and grind it. Soul is in the musical, that's where I feel so beautiful. Magical, life's a ball so get up on the dance floor.♪♫”

And then we get to “the rap” and I start doing all the Vogue hand gestures and now Carlos is desperate for me to stop singing and, as he says it:

“PAY ATTENTION ON THE ROAD!!!”

“NOPE!!!"

"♫♪ Greta Garbo and Monroe, Dietrich and DiMaggio, Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean
On the cover of a magazine. Grace Kelly, Harlow, Jean, picture of a beauty queen. Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire. Ginger Rogers, dance on air.

They had style, they had grace; Rita Hayworth gave good face. Lauren, Katherine, Lana too. Bette Davis, we love you! Ladies with an attitude; fellas that were in the mood.

Don't just stand there, let's get to it, strike a pose, there's nothing to it … Vogue, vogue, Vogue, vogue, Vogue, vogue.♪♫”

And now we are pulling down our driveway and I am opening the garage door and Carlos says to me, hold onto your pearls, clutch, my angels, clutch, for Carlos says to me …”

“I thought RuPaul sang this song.”

I crashed into the house and then called HOMO HQ for a Vogue-tervention.

This Tuxedo Memory is from June 2018 and is entitled:

Tuxedo ... Holding A Grudge Because His Two Dads Went Away

He never liked it when we went away, even for just a day trip, and always gave us the cold shoulder upon our return!

Sorry y’all, but watching Alec Baldwin weeping in court when the judge announced his involuntary manslaughter case was dismissed mid-trial took me back to a line from Mommie Dearest, when Joan was having a fit and one of her suitors said:

“If you're acting, you're wasting your time. If you're not, you're wasting mine.”

Disappear, Alec, until the family’s wrongful death civil suit is filed.

The Felon’s son, The Dumb One, says Daddy didn’t get any stitches after he was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania over the weekend, but that he has a “nice flesh wound” from the shooting.

But Daddy claims the bullet pierced his ear, so wouldn’t that leave a hole, well, another hole in The Felon’s head? Oh, and The Felon campaign has not released any medical reports about the injury or even named any doctors who treated him.

Huh, that sounds odd. Especially given that The Felon is a whining little narcissist and would love the extra attention.

:::cough::: Staged event ::: cough:::

I saw this on Facebook:

Imagine being taxed to build a sports stadium, to have a millionaire charge you admission. So you can cheer on millionaires playing a game that’s meant to divert your attention from being exploited by a ruling class who does things like … tax you to build a stadium.

Tax the rich.

Nothing new to see here: The Felon fell asleep at the Republican National Convention on the first night. If this keeps up he’ll be in a coma by Thursday.

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders Aunt Lydia told the Republican National Convention that:

“Not even an assassin’s bullet could stop him. God Almighty intervened because America is one nation under God, and He is not done with [The Felon.”

I’d like to ask Huckleberry about the firefighter that was killed at that rally and how come her so-called god didn’t save him but I don’t really think she cares because she didn’t even mention his name.

After that lump of Bible-thumping, lying hypocritical shiz, I need a palate cleanser and this picture of these two cats just makes me feel so much better.

Daniel Schröder is apparently some kind of artist, though my only question is: Would You Hit It?

It isn’t lost on too many people that the instant The Felon chose a running mate, Tim Scott’s gurlfriend vanished.
