The other day Carlos said to me:

“I have good news.”

“What is it?”

“I will be out of the house for a while tomorrow.”

I shouted, “Thank you Jesus” and threw myself to the ground in ecstasy, as Carlos continued:

“I have a translation in Columbia at …”

“I don’t need details, let me savor the thought.”

It all faded away as I  smiled at the idea of being home alone. I am a person who doesn’t mind being alone, in fact, I like it sometimes, but with Carlos working only from home during the pandemic, and me working from home two or three days a week, he’s always around. So I reveled in my joy.

The next day came and off he went. I puttered around the house, read a book, listened to music, did some laundry, sat on the ack deck with Tuxedo, and a few hours later Carlos called and told me he had a surprise; I said:

“You’re staying out?”

“No. I have a surprise for you.”

“Yeah, you’re staying out?”

“No. I’ll give it to you when I get home.”

I thought, Mitchell brings San Geraldo flowers every so often, so maybe it’s flowers? Nope. Even better … a Chori-Pollo dinner from one of our local Mexican restaurants. He knows me so well.

My husband. I think I’ll keep him.

I mean, come on. Tuxedo can’t even vote or fire a gun and he understands this nonsense. Sheesh!

Over there on Fox News Lies, Maria Bartiromo complained to Eric The Dumb One about President Biden's 5th trip home to Delaware, and The Dumb One said, with a straight, hideous face:

"I don't even know where to begin. It's heartbreaking to us. I saw how much time & effort my father put into the job."

Yes, he did.

Well, I always knew I had some affinity for travelling to Oz but I never really saw it until now.

Two weeks after eight people were gunned down in Atlanta, the Georgia Senate approved legislation to loosen the state’s gun laws. State Senator, and certified Qidiot, Bo Hatchett said:

“This is a Second Amendment protection bill that further recognizes Georgia’s commitment to protect its citizens and their Second Amendment rights.”

But NOT their right to vote.

On the upside in Georgia, after a week of saying almost nothing about the state’s new restrictive voting policies, two of the state’s biggest corporations, Coca-Cola and Delta, have both announced that they oppose the new voter suppression legislation. Okay, so maybe now you can put your money, your product and your influence out there, like, well, like this:

And Delta, since one of your famous taglines is:

“We love to fly and it shows.”

… howsabout a new one where you get people to the polls, or that lone voter drop-box? I think:

“We love to drive people to vote, and it shows.”

… sounds nice.

Volkswagen’s American division slipped up a bit this week with an announcement that suggested the company’s name will change in a nod toward the automaker’s investment in electric vehicles.

The company will be called Voltswagen,

The slip-up appeared briefly on Volkswagen’s media site before it was removed, but VW was not hacked, and the announcement is no joke; it’s not a marketing ploy and the plan is for the change to be made permanent.

Just not right now.

Well, this was kind of a cool message I got on Twitter this week:

Hi, Bob!

I've updated my blogroll and made sure to include you. Also, your "Gaggle of Qidiots" story has been added to today's "News & Pop Culture Round-Up" on Stonewall Gazette. Cheers

And here’s my link. Very nice, I must say!

This week’s morsel is one Janis Danner, a German born model who simmers and smolders.

Those eyes! That smile! That hair! That body!

I was thinking of asking him to Smallville, where, and I’m quoting Bette Midler here, I would dress up like Poland and he could invade me?
