One day, while driving home, we encountered a traffic backup right here in Smallville! I know! Que horror! Luckily, I knew of a shortcut down an old dirt road called Chestnut Ferry; Carlos asked what I was doing.

“I hate the traffic on Dekalb, so I’m going to avoid the light and that intersection and go this way.”

“Oh—”

“And I can avoid the traffic coming out of Walmart—”

To which Carlos replied:

“You mean the Walmartians?”

And he is right.

In the height of ignorance, this week _____, in Japan, said he was not “personally” bothered by recent short-range missile tests North Korea.

Sadly,  Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, standing beside _____, said the missile tests violated U.N. Security Council resolutions and were “of great regret.”

But they don’t bother _____.  Asshat.

Don't bet on seeing a Harriet Tubman $20 bill anytime soon because the redesigned bill bearing her face, which was supposed to debut next year, will not be coming out for nearly a decade … because _____.

Tubman, who was born into slavery and became a noted abolitionist and political activist, would be the first black woman to have her face on U.S. currency and would appear in 2020 to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.

While running for office, _____ said he did not support putting Tubman on the 20, calling the plan "pure political correctness" and saying they should put Tubman on the oh-so-popular "$2 bill".

_____ is a huge fan of slave owning  Andrew Jackson so, yeah, there’s that. Racist.

UPDATE: someone has made a Harriet Tubman stamp and is stamping her face over Jackson’s on the bill. I want one!

Mississippi Congressman, and a cosponsor of that state’s abortion ban Doug McLeod was arrested last week after punching his wife because she took too long to get undressed for sex.

McLeod’s wife said her husband had “just snapped,” and often did so when he was drinking, and ALLEGEDLY whenever a woman doesn’t do what he says. McLeod was taken into custody on a charge of misdemeanor domestic violence and then released on a  $1,000 signature bond.

That’s your GOP, America.

And, from our Self Loathing Gay File comes the news that a bunch of so-called gay Republicans—quite the oxymoron—including former head of the Log Cabin Republicans, have launched a petition to Senate Majority Leader Mitch Bitch McConnell demanding that he squash any attempt to give LGBTQ people equal rights.

Even for themselves; these are gay men and women asking to be denied equality. They are literally opposing their own civil rights.

Just shows to go you  that there are stupid, asshatted gays, too.

And keeping with this WTF Is Going On thing, a group of panelists on Fox News’—yes, that Fox News—Special Report actually criticized _____ for citing murderous dictator Kim Jong Un in his comments abroad about Joe Biden.

Fox News digital politics editor Chris Stirewalt pointed out to anyone wondering why _____ is “underwater” and trailing in polls at a time when any other incumbent in his position would be “crushing it,” that it’s “stunt like this stuff in Japan are exactly why.”

And co-host Marc Thiessen agreed:

“You don’t attack your political opponents from foreign soil [and especially not by] citing the murderous dictator of North Korea.”

Again, that Fox News bashing _____.

Oh, what a world.

Now for some good LGBTQ news … the Supreme Court has denied review of Doe v. Boyertown School District, leaving a ruling in place that allows students to use the locker room or bathroom that matches their gender identity.

The march goes on …

Finally … man candy in French ballet dancer Andreas Gieson.

He looks gorgeous in a suit, gorgeous in the dance, and gorgeous when he’s nekkid.

What’s not to love?

Luke Evans. If this is what he looks like on Monday mornings, I want some. 

Hell, even is this is a one off, I want some.
