Bobservations

We had our taxes done last week and our accountant was also going to do my Dad’s taxes as well. So she needed a copy of the will and the Death Certificate and my driver’s license to be able to access certain things and I handed them over to her.

“Is this your age?”

“I’m pretty sure it is.”

“I thought you were younger than this.”

“Is that because I’m child-like?”

And this point Carlos interrupts:

“Maybe it’s because you’re childish.”

“Well, one thing is for certain. She doesn’t think you’re younger than you actually are.”

Snap.

PS I’m a year older than Carlos.

This Tuxedo Memory is from August 2015 and is entitled:

“Hairballs and Flip-flops and Giggles, Oh My!

I'm a child ... I admit it. 

Yesterday morning, while having breakfast in the kitchen with Carlos, I overheard Tuxedo relieving himself of a hairball in the living room. Since the rule at Casa Bob y Carlos is that I take care of what goes INTO the cats and Carlos takes care of what comes OUT of them, I went to see what happened.

A hairball ... all over Carlos' flip-flops ... which is when I started laughing hysterically ... and when Carlos began muttering 'motherf**ker' under his breath.

I almost couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard.

Again, I am a child. Carry on ....”

And how could you be mad at that punim anyway?

Shares of Inmate # P01135809’s Truth Social plummeted some 23% this week, wiping out the gains from its debut last week, after disclosing some $58 million in losses in 2023.

Say what? The billionaire isn’t a billionaire—his alleged net worth fell by more than $1 billion in a single day—and apparently not even a good businessman?

Color me shocked.

You can't set a Hallmark movie in the South because unexpected snow isn't magical down here. It's terrifying and always leads to grocery store fights. I know … I still have the bruises.

If you thought Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was a loon, take a gander at Nicole Shanahan, his choice as a running mate.

Shanahan has been a harsh critic of in vitro fertilization, calling it “one of the biggest lies that’s being told about women’s health today,” and has looked into no-cost interventions to help women conceive, such as exposure to sunlight.

Sunlight. This Third Party should be dubbed the Wack-a-Doodle Party.

Don’t know if this is true, but it would be perfect …

A wealthy white man walked into a bar in Miami. As soon as he entered, he noticed a Black woman sitting in one corner. He walked over to the counter, removed his wallet and shouted:

"Bartender! I'm buying drinks for everyone in this bar, except that Black woman over there!"

The bartender collected the money and began serving free drinks to everyone in the bar, except the Black woman but instead of becoming upset, she simply looked up at the guy and shouted:

"Thank you!"

This infuriated the wealthy guy. So once again, he took out his wallet and shouted,:

"Waiter! This time I am buying bottles of wine and additional food for everyone in this bar, except for that African sitting in the corner over there!"

The bartender collected the money from the man and began serving free food and wine to everyone in the bar except the Black woman. When the waiter finished serving the food and drinks, the woman simply smiled at the man and said:

Thank you!"

That made him furious. So he leaned over the counter and asked the bartender:

"What is wrong with that Black woman? I have bought food and drinks for everyone in this bar except for her, and instead of becoming angry, she just sits there, smiles at me and shouts 'Thank you.' Is she mad?"

The bartender smiled at the wealthy man and said:

"No, she is not mad. She owns the place.”

May our enemies work unknowingly in our favor.......

Okay Beyhive, come for me, but Beyoncé singing country is the most hilariously, thirsty desperate thing I’ve seen in a long while.

PS Of note is that Beyoncé rewrote some of the lyrics to Dolly Parton’s classic ‘Jolene’ so she could take a writing credit on the song.

Again, hilarious, thirsty desperate.

This week Wisconsin Governor, and Democrat, Tony Evers, vetoed a bill that would have banned transgender and gender nonconforming youth from participating on school athletic teams that align with their gender identity, saying:

“This type of legislation, and the harmful rhetoric beget by pursuing it, harms LGBTQ Wisconsinites’ and kids’ mental health, emboldens anti-LGBTQ harassment, bullying, and violence, and threatens the safety and dignity of LGBTQ Wisconsinites, especially our LGBTQ kids.”

For more of this kind of politics, CAST A GODDAMNED BLUE VOTE.

Architecture Wednesday: Villa Flora

I’ve always said I needed to live in a villa, and this may just be the one I need. And with 5 bedrooms and some 4400 square feet, this villa in southern France, I could turn it into a B&B and make some coins while I lounge by the pool and  Carlos tends to the gardens.

The property, nicknamed Flora for its bountiful gardens, sits at the heart of a village near Uzès in the Gard department, and  is described in the listing—yes, it’s for sale for $4,455,846.50 USD—by the fragrances of the property, ‘of incense and fig’ but it’s the rugged stone walls, and the arched ceilings, and the meticulously crafted gardens, that call to me.

The house is three levels, with the  ground floor featuring a bedroom that opens onto a terrace, a bathroom and a separate toilet, the laundry, and most importantly, a wine cellar; I think that will be my bedroom, close to the wine. The first floor features a large living room with barrel-vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling French doors that open onto a breezy terrace; it opens onto to a spacious kitchen and a reception lounge; the dining room and a TV lounge are also on this floor and are open onto a terrace with garden and pool views. In addition there are two bedroom suites with adjoining bathrooms. Up on the second floor are the last two bedrooms with an adjoining bathroom and shower room. Outside are the gardens, the terraces, the patios, the pool, the greenhouse, a summer kitchen, with pathways to wander and explore.

And, again, it can be yours ….

This Bitch: James Comer

House Oversight Committee Chairman, and Republican, because, of course, James Comer, is in discussions with at least one publisher about a book deal at the same time that he is leading the Biden impeachment probe.

And while Comer’s impeachment investigation of Biden is looking like a dud, and while Republicans insist they plan to keep pressuring the Biden over family money ties into 2025, a book would be a high-profile way to do that.

The project came to light when a source pointed Axios to a page on the HarperCollins website that shows placeholder cover for a book by Comer with a provocative title, “All the President’s Money,” and a supposed publication date of September 10.

But no book is imminent and there’s no book deal, Comer’s staff says and ye t the guy leading the investigation that is going nowhere, and has offered zero proof, has a book deal?

Yeah, nothing shady there.

PS Since this seems so perfectly above board, I suggest Joe Biden write his own book about this sham of an investigation and he can call it: This Bitch: James Comer.
