Random Musings

So, last week [t]Rump had someone in the crowd at one of his Crazy Rallies stand up and say Muslims were our biggest problem in America and that President Obama is a Muslim and he said nothing and his poll numbers went up.

So, naturally, 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... Ben Carson, who brings up Jesus every other minute in his speeches, says we should never have a Muslim president because “their religion is very much a part of [their] public life.”

Sadly, he wasn’t as embraced for his hatred of Muslims like [t]Rump and now Carson is walking back his comments because pandering didn’t work … this time.

Remember that scene in Poltergeist where the mom clears the table and walks away, but when she comes back all the chairs are stacked on the table?

I was thinking we had our own poltergeists in the house, because every time I straighten out these kitchen mats, I turn right around and see this …

But here’s our darling poltergeist, Miss Consuelo Roca Jones.

Kim Davis is talking and sounding every bit like an illiterate hillbilly, and claiming that what hurts her most is when people say "God doesn't love her."

Huh, cuz that’s the same thing Christians tell gay folks every single day.

In the height of hilarity, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who never met a meal he didn’t want to have … twice … has given the leader of New Jersey's National Guard, Air Force Brigadier Gen. Michael Cunniff, ninety days to lose weight.

Pot.Kettle.Pass the doughnuts.

We have a pair of hotties this week … because love is hot.

ABC news reporter Gio Benitez took his boyfriend, actor Tommy DiDario, to Paris last week and, at the Eiffel Tower, dropped to one knee and proposed.

Congrats to the hot happy couple.

In corporate greed news … Martin Shkreli, the CEO Turing Pharmaceuticals, bought a drug company that made a pill called Daraprim used by people with cancer or HIV/AIDS and instantly raised the price of a single pill from $13.50 to $750 because, in America, it’s less about the health and welfare of our citizens and more about how many coins we can stuff in our pocket.

Oh, and for the record, it costs just a dollar to make Daraprim, so even the $13.50 was a huge mark-up.

In an update, however, Shkreli, now the most hated man in America, has announced he will drop the price of Daraprim, though he has decided on a new figure.

When the dust settles we’ll probably learn he’s drop it to $748.00 a pill.

Pig.

And with Miss Jones in the kitchen tearing up the rugs, I checked on the other kids …

Tuxedo loved that we had a rainy day and spent the morning “gargoyling” the front yard, while MaxGoldberg hated the cold and snuck into one of the bathrooms for some quite, while Ozzo just crawled into one of his three … yes, three … dog beds throughout the house.

Last week Fox News failed to air a report about a new election poll saying [t[Rump was still leading and because [t]Rump has an ego the size of his hair, he got pissy about being ignored and declared he would boycott Fox news because they’re mean to him.

Fox News then issues a statement saying that before [t]Rump dumped them, they canceled an interview with him.

Infighting in fun.

Meanwhile, back to Kim Davis, who is the inspiration for a character in a new lesbian soft-core porn novel about a rightwingnut who finds love in an all-female prison after being jailed for taking a religious stand on marriage.

Looks like maybe Kim might be headed for her fifth marriage in the book ... which you can buy on Amazon for 99 cents.

The best thing I saw on Facebook this week ... Carly Fiorina says she would defund Planned Parenthood and someone posted that, rather than defund it, she should be named its CEO and then she could just run it into the ground.

Something she already knows how to do.
