Why Is It ...

… that people don’t realize they need to look both ways before getting on my nerves?

… that people who ask me if they can show me something are shocked when I say, “Absolutely not. I am in the ‘unseeing’ phase of life.”

… that when I tell people I have too much to do, it means I am going to lie down for three hours.

… that no one realizes that “Stop, Drop and Roll” doesn’t just work to put out a fire. I use it to get out of many social situations.

… that I often make car alarm noises when people I don’t like try to touch me?

… that one day you’re young and carefree and up for anything, and the next you’re looking out your kitchen window and saying. “Is that a Tufted Titmouse at my birdfeeder.”?

… that many times I don’t know if I’m fighting demons, or if I’m the demon?

… that this is enough todaying for today? I’m done, Thanks.

I Didn't Say It ...

Kristi Noem, continuing to try and spin the killing of a dog into anything that represents a good, kind thing to do:

“I can understand why some people are upset about a 20-year-old story of Cricket, one of the working dogs at our ranch, in my upcoming book—No Going Back. The book is filled with many honest stories of my life, good and bad days, challenges, painful decisions, and lessons learned. What I learned from my years of public service, especially leading South Dakota through COVID, is people are looking for leaders who are authentic, willing to learn from the past, and don’t shy away from tough challenges. My hope is anyone reading this book will have an understanding that I always work to make the best decisions I can for the people in my life. The fact is, South Dakota law states that dogs who attack and kill livestock can be put down. Given that Cricket had shown aggressive behavior toward people by biting them, I decided what I did. Whether running the ranch or in politics, I have never passed on my responsibilities to anyone else to handle. Even if it’s hard and painful. I followed the law and was being a responsible parent, dog owner, and neighbor. As I explained in the book, it wasn’t easy. But often the easy way isn’t the right way.”

She will talk and talk and talk and try to justify killing a young dog rather than give it to someone who could care for it, but she will never, ever talk about her MAGAt make-over.

And perhaps those new blown-up lips make her stories shift?

Mitt Romney, distancing himself and his own dog story from that of Kristi “Dog Killer” Noem:

“I didn’t eat my dog. I didn’t shoot my dog. I loved my dog, and my dog loved me.”

Mittsy, if you recall, says Noem’s “tale of slaughter” in her upcoming book is nothing like him being criticized for tying his dog Seamus to the roof of the family car during a cross-country trip.

True; he didn’t kill a dog, her just terrorized it. Noem, on the other hand murdered her dog because she “hated” it, and because it wasn’t a good hunter.

Jeanine Pirro, Fox New’s resident boxed wine sommelier, on Kristi “Dog Killer” Noem:

“I have four rescues, and I have a puppy. I gotta tell you, you know what she’s done is, she’s sabotaged herself, whether or not it was to, you know, buttress what was coming down the road. She also managed to unite the right and the left. Because America—if nothing else, we are dog lovers. And don’t tell me you shot a puppy because it wasn’t used to hunting. You know, maybe you’re not a good teacher.”

I don’t think Noem united the two sides but she did show that Noem is woefully out of touch with the GOP if she thinks they approve of her murdering a fourteen-month-old dog because she didn’t like it.

Even Cruella was that much of a DeVil.

Chris Plante, Newsmax host, showing his true racist colors:

“Illegals from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Haiti—where cannibalism is popular these days. Flying them mostly to swing states across the country. No electoral politics going on here. This is pretty obviously Joe Biden and the Democrats sticking it to Ron DeSantis, right? And sticking it to Florida and trying to move the demographic needle in Florida. And of course, you know, you put all the people in there, it’s like the Democrats during slavery times like the three-fifths of a person a slave because it gave them more seats in the House of Representatives, and they’re doing the same thing. The illegal aliens are effectively three-fifths of a person and they’re flooding them by 160,000 into the state of Florida. Much more than any other state, and it’s because they’ve got a problem with Ron DeSantis.”

No evidence of this, but Newsmax and Plante, like Fox News and Tucker, don’t worry about facts.

Plante recently accused President Biden of inciting civil war, when he declared that AI is racist against white people; he claimed Dr. Jill Biden dressed as Hitler for Halloween, and stated that late Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick was actually killed by the COVID vaccine.

Truth doesn’t matter to these people because they have no souls.

Mike Johnson, speaking to CNN’s Jake Tapper, on the alleged—or not so alleged—GOP plan to pass a national abortion ban:

“I don’t even know what you’re talking about—national abortion ban. No. Listen, [Hair Furor] has said this very well. Look, I’m pro-life personally, but I have 434 colleagues. You have to build a political consensus. After cultural consensus, Breitbart famously observed that politics is downstream from culture, and there is no consensus at the moment on what to do at the federal level so that’s not on the legislative agenda.”

Mike Johnson and the majority of House Republicans all support the “Life Begins At Conception Act” that would ban all abortions nationwide and rip away access to IVF.

That’s a fact. And God is watching faux-Christian Mike Johnson and She is not happy.

Chris Sununu, New Hampshire GOP Governor, throwing his support for Hair Furor to win in 2024:

“I’m going to support the ticket. I’m going to support [Thing 45]. It won’t be his party forever. Right? It just won’t. At some point, [Thing 45] won’t be here forever. Let me put it a different way: Assholes come and go. But America is here to stay.”

Sununu has referred to Thing 45 as an “asshole” and once joked that he belongs in a mental institution, and who campaigned like hell for Nikki Haley, You’re an asshole, throwing your support behind a man you think should be locked up.

That’s the Kool Aid drinking, goose-stepping GOP.

photo

Sonia Sotomayor, Supreme Court Justice, droning arguments on Hair Furor’s immunity case:

“I am having a hard time thinking that creating false documents, that ordering the assassination of a rival, that accepting a bribe and countless other lies could be broken for personal gain, that anyone would say that it would be reasonable for a president or any public official to do that.”

Sotomayor spells it out plain and simply, though the rightwing justices are too simple, and too much in debt to Hair Furor, to understand.

You do this for Hair Furor, then you do it for every president.

Carlos had a court interpretation the other day, and over dinner he was telling me about the case of a young Hispanic girl who kept running away from home, spending days and days at a friend’s house.

Well, apparently the young girl had a girlfriend at the other house and that’s why she kept running away from home. Carlos was telling m that the girl’s mother was upset because she kept coming home with doohickeys on her neck.

“Hickeys.”

“What?”

“They’re called hickeys, not doohickeys.”

“What’s the difference?”

“A hickey is sometimes called a ‘love bite,’ while a doohickey is a word you use for a tool or something, the name of which you can't remember.”

He looked confused. So I called him a doohickey!

This Tuxedo Memory is from January 2019:

“On the chilly days Tuxedo likes to use MaxGoldberg as a pillow.”

And MaxGoldberg never really seemed to mind! Those two boys were the best of friends.

I just finished watching AHS: Delicate and I am officially done with the show if it ever comes back.

Gone are the days of Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulsen, Evan Peters, and Frances Conroy to be replaced by Kim Kardastrophe.

I’m done.

Please tell me that I wasn’t the only one who thought that little piggy was at the Piggly Wiggly or some such?

Does anyone else find it ironic that the anti-immigrant crowd wants immigrants to speak English and yet the anti-immigrant crowd clearly has its own problem with the language?

Okay, why? Why the need for a belt that is so much bigger than your waist that when it hangs loose it has a penis drawn on the backside?

I mean, I’m not a prude, unzip your pants and let your real penis fly!

And here’s the gift that keeps on giving, for those days when I run out of Fucks to give, I always have a stash on hand.

Ever notice that when there’s an earthquake in a  Blue state the GOP always calls it a sign from God as punishment for liberal politics, but when tornadoes tear through a Red state all you get from the GOP is :::crickets:::

And then we have the latest photograph of our esteemed Supreme Kangaroo Court of the United States. All hail SKCOTUS!

Architecture Wednesday: Art Deco Pink Lady

I love a good Art Deco home, even a pink one, and this 1938 dazzler on a quaint cul-de-sac in Oakland, California steals the show with exciting “Streamline Moderne” lines and curves, elegant corner windows, and statuesque Queen Palms.

The 2,006 square foot home features a spacious living room with dramatic volume and a lofty ceiling, more curves, a dramatic fireplace and black framed windows. The open floorplan flows seamlessly up to the dining area and an updated kitchen, and then flows out to a large rear patio. The main level includes a large primary bedroom with private balcony, a full bathroom, laundry room, and private home office. Upstairs are two more bedrooms that share a large hall bathroom.

The greenery of the garden is visible from every room, and the level-out flow to this tropical oasis make this a true California entertainers dream. Additional amenities include interior access to the 2-car garage and large basement, owned Solar Panels, Tesla Powerwall battery storage & EV charger, and all-electric Heating & Cooling.

This home really is a dazzler, on the market originally for $1.195 million and then selling for $1.9 million.
