Bobservations

The other day Carlos was meandering through the house muttering to himself, and I, as a concerned and loving husband asked:

“What the hell is the matter?”

All love. And he replies:

“Nothing. Just doing my chores to earn my keep.”

“Your ‘keep’?”

“Yes, I clean the bathroom and then I am entitled to a meal.”

“Oh, you get a meal, do you? Did you forget I’m going to be gone tonight for work, and you’d be cooking your own dinner?”

And the howler monkey appeared:

“WHAT??!!?? I have to clean the bathroom AND make my own dinner?”

“Yes, and then clean the kitchen when you’re done.”

The muttering continued until I left.

Clearly when a cat gets the idea of Separation of Church and State, people will understand it, too? Oh, who am I kidding.

On January 28, Fifty Bandz, a 21-year-old Black transgender woman, was shot to death in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Her death is at least the fifth violent death of a transgender person in the first month of 2021.

When does this end; when do our trans brothers and sisters feel safe being themselves in America? When?

In the Are There NO New Ideas file comes the story that The Woodsman director Nicole Kassell is set direct a reboot of The Wizard of Oz for New Line cinema.

I guess that film classic that has been around for over eighty years isn’t good enough.

So, y’all know that Armie Hammer has been stripped of the very prestigious Husband-In-My-Head honor for his creepy cannibalism, skin carving, abusive sexual hijinks. But, as luck would have it, I found another Hammer. Matt Hammer.

Matt Hammer and his, well, they say she’s his wife, have a new home improvement show on HGTV called The Hammer Family, and I caught a glimpse of Matt’s smile, his beautiful bald melon, the guns in his tight T-shirt and an ass you could bounce a quarter off.

Yeah, I may be sending a new trophy out.

Congressman John Fillmore (Q-AZ) introduced a bill last week, which seeks to limit gender options on Arizona state identification documents to only male and female. In defending his Hate Bill, Fillmore spewed this nonsense:

“I don’t believe we, as a society, should have all of the different binaries identified. What’s going to happen when someday someone wakes up and they want to go to a far extreme and identify as a chicken or something, for crying out loud. Where do we draw the line?”

Smacks of that whole anti-marriage equality chestnut about  how, if we allow The Gays to marry, people will marry their cars or their children and …whatever. Same idiot nonsense, for a new idiot argument.

In other nonsense news, an ALLEGED literacy program in Utah’s Murry school district helps to bring in inclusive books into the classroom. While most of the books at the elementary level deal with race and ethnicity, a boy asked his teacher to read Call Me Max by trans author Kyle Lukoff, a book about a trans boy who wants to go by a name other than his birth name.

After the teacher read the book, bought from home by the student, parents began to complain and now the entire literacy program has come to a halt so the district can “reevaluate” each book in the program.

Again, the book the teacher read was not part of the program but brought in by a student.

I guess Utah only cares about cis literature.

GOP Senator Mitt Romney, coming off his vote to impeach the former president and being seen as a more moderate Republican, has taken a step back into the party.

This week Romney said he will oppose the Equality Act—which expands the prohibition on anti-LGBTQ discrimination—because he worries about its impact on people of faith.

Basically, he wants to keep the God Hates Fags contingent happy at the cost of equality for LGBTQ+ Americans.

Welcome back to the party of ignorance and hate Mittsy. Now …fuck all the way off.

Rush Limbaugh died yesterday and, well, since I was taught that if I can’t say anything nice about someone say nothing at all I will say this about Rush

 

 

 

But, since I also love a good bitchy quote, I will paraphrase what Bette Davis said about the death of Joan Crawford, to fit Limbaugh:

"You should never say bad things about the dead, only good… Rush Limbaugh is dead. Good.”

Thanks Bette.

I need some man now, and so I’ll stop and gawk at model Milan Petruska.

He is all kinds of dreamy, form the baby blues to the pillow lips to that lithe body.

I feel better now.

  1. Here here Tuxedo!!!!! At least Carlos will be busy today.

    Another remake?????? Yawn. A remake is very seldom better then the original....and we shouldn't need remakes if their were creative minds at work.

    And if religion gets into politics more than it is.... This country is really going to be screwed.

    We're currently getting more snow....suppose to get 8- 11" by late in day.....time for has browns...bacon and waffles me thinks......

  2. Perhaps safety for one and all, but especially transgender people, will start when you get rid of the guns, but with the number of weapons floating around America sadly that is not going to happen.

    Being around people who are different and learning about them is the way children learn to grow up without hating everyone who is not the same

    Perhaps Mr Fillmore has strange longing for his chicken? That kind of statement wouldn't occur to the majority of people.

    And last, but not least, new versions of old classics do not work - a star is born with Gag comes to mind, although I give her preps for saying thank you to the man who escorted her down the steps at Mr Biden's inauguration (J Low didn't)

  3. Perhaps Mr. Fillmore is a transfowl (turkey more than likely) and is projecting. People be sooooo stoooopid! Now excuse me. I have a breakfast date with my toaster.

  4. Well, I'd rather be Hammered than Petrusk-ed, to tell you the truth. And is Carlos reading Marx? Be careful!
    Tuxedo, always on point.
    Those Rethugs. When are people going to understand they're the worst? the GQP is the party of the bigots, racists and homophobes. It's very simple.
    Oh, Limbaugh passed and I joined the chorus of 'Bye, Felicia!' resonating through the internet. Now, Moscow Mitch and Murdoch.
    I'm gonna look for Call me Max and buy it. STAT.

    XOXO

  7. Tuxedo for President (although I know it would have to be nothing less than Emperor).

    As for the tale of Carlos, I had to start over several times. I couldn't stop laughing at the line: "... and I, as a concerned and loving husband asked..."

  8. There have been a number of remakes of The Wizard of Oz and they all fail because there's no way to capture the magic of those 2 hours.

    Matt Hammer... sounds like the name of a detective.

    Just one look at Fillmore tells you where his head is at.

    Now, what did you expect from Mitt, he's running for president in 2024.

    It's not that Utah doesn't care for inclusive literature, it's that they don't care for literature, period.

  10. The Romney thing is a good reminder that these Republicans who suddenly seem so moderate because they opposed Trump in fact ARE NOT. (Same for Liz Cheney, which probably goes without saying.)

    The only reason anyone would remake "The Wizard of Oz" is because they think it will be a cash cow. Honestly. There oughta be a law.

  11. Thanks for recount re: the insurrection. I knew there was a body count, but seeing it all fleshed out like that. Perfect. But will the Dems... any of them, remember to throw that in a Repugs face? Nope.

    Milan. I would like him if he would abuse me and call me names. I don't know what it is... but when they are pretty like that, I really enjoy it. And that is about all I would want to do with him.

    Rush. Pill head - dead. Lungs... powered his sick rhetoric and lies... and then, they took their revenge. Fitting.

    Romney... this is what happens when 'religious' people get in power. You mention separation of church and state... yeah... hey! Let's get back to that. But, again... Dems have no balls. They never call it like it is. They pussyfoot. Dems are the problem.

    When does the book burning begin? I have all these copies of Cokehead Jr.'s book I want to donate.

    Fillmore. This is what happens when out of touch Neanderthals are place in positions of power. Again... one should have to have a degree in order to run for office. People should be licensed to legislate. This is the kind of thing we get for letting the local whacko run for office. We... we are the problem. Let's use some common sense when electing people.

    I dislike HGTV so much and everyone of those 'couples' who destroy homes. Just the worst television and the worst lifestyle advice - why does everyone need such large houses? They don't. It's utter nonsense, feeding a fantasy no one should have. Live small.

    Wiz of Oz. No. And who cares. Nothing will ever replace the original. Why bother? What an exercise in futility.

    I read about Ms. Bandz two weeks ago. Breaks my heart. Why isn't the national news picking up this trend? These people matter... they are loved.

    Yay. Tux. I nominate Tux to run for office.

    Carlos. Aww. You could prep something and have him heat it up in the oven? It's weird, but I like cleaning the bathroom. I like porcelain.

    Thanks, Bob. Great, as usual.

  12. Let me keep it short...

    To those who want to impose their beliefs on others--FUCK OFF!!

    Stay in your corner, do you, and leave me alone.

    I heard it once said-- "Once you start paying my bills then you can tell me what to do!"

  13. Rush Limbaugh is no loss to anyone in the world.

  14. @MM
    Carlos did give himself a lot of chores!!
    And now I’m hungry for breakfast!


    @Helen
    Equality is simple: everyone gets it.
    Fillmore is an ass.
    You cannot make a better Oz than 1939’s version. Sorry.

    @Deedles
    Transfowl!
    You oughta head to Maddies for hash browns and waffles.

    @Six
    Hammering would be good.

    @TDM
    Seriously Utah!

    @AM
    Tuxedo is gifted.

    @Mitchell
    King Tuxedo sounds good, or, as I call him, and drive Carlos crazy in the process: The Great Tuxedo!
    Comedy! Who knew? =)

    @Dave
    You cannot do better than a classic.

    @brewella deville
    Nailed it!!!

    @Steve
    Romney and Cheney and Kinzinger voted their conscience, which is good, but they are still Republicans and that cannot be forgotten.

    @uptonking
    We must never forget that the Law and Order party didn’t try to punish the inciter of the riot.
    I see your point re Milan.
    I agree that the Democrats need to get tough.
    Burn Junior burn!
    You can’t do better than Judy and Ray and Bert and Jack!


    @VRC
    Preach!

  15. So much stuff here, Bob. I don't know where to start. I enjoyed your Bobservation about Carlos. Made me chuckle. It looks like Tuxedo should become a politician as he seems smarter than a lot of them. We need term limits for these cuckoos. Just ride off into the sunset and leave us alone, you old dumb turds. Take care.

    Carlos always makes me chuckle.
    And, alas, Tuxedo is clearly TOO smart for politics!
