Not really a Carlos story, though he was there … the other night we were out dinner in Camden, and a party of ten was seated nearby. Their server came over and was chatting with the group, a family, and asked if it was a special occasion. One man at the head of the table said:

“Our mother’s getting married tomorrow.”

“Oh, congratulations, that should be so much fun.”

Silence, until the man said:

“Our mother’s getting ‘buried’ tomorrow.”

Ouch.

Put me, and clearly Tuxedo, too, in the group that doesn’t care when or why you said the n-word and I still think you should apologize for it.

Inside That censure nonsense the Republican National Committee [RNC] put out this week calling January 6th a “legitimate political discourse” continues to taint the party … especially given this:

The resolution, drafted by David Bossie a longtime Thing 45 lapdog, started out as an effort to expel Cheney and Kinzinger from the House Republican Conference. But an early draft condemned the two representatives for participating in “a Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in nonviolent and legal political discourse.”

Nonviolent. People died. Property damaged. Nonviolent.

Mary Margaret Kreuper, an 80-year-old nun, has been sentenced to a year in prison after she confessed to stealing more than $800,000 from the elementary school where she worked as principal for twenty-eight to fund her gambling trips to Las Vegas.

Kreuper must also pay $825,338 in restitution.

I guess what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas if you’re an embezzling nun?

I love music from days gone by, and still remember some of the oldies my mother and father used to play. And so when I hear them now, I instantly know who’s singing, and people seemed stunned I know it; like this:

“Oh, that’s Vikki Carr singing, ‘It Must be him’.”

“How do you know that?”

I then stand on my right foot, bend at the waist and put my left leg straight out behind me, spreading my arms out wide from my side and say:

“I used to skate my long program to this.”

And If I did, I wore this …

Earlier this week we talked about that Rotterdam bridge being dismantled so Jeff Bezos can sail his mega-yacht and miniscule dick under to reach the open sea.

Thanks to reader Marcia la Rue, I learned that Dutch preservationists have said they will pummel the superyacht with rotten eggs if the city of Rotterdam follows through with plans to dismantle a section of that 140-year-old bridge.

It’s almost worth the flight to be able to hurl a rotten egg at Jeff Bezos’ boat ego.

Don't bother walking a mile in my shoes because, to be honest, that would be boring. If you want a true Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride spend 30 seconds in my head. That'll freak you right out.

Arizona’s top House Republican, Speaker Rusty Bowers, is overturning legislation that would have given state lawmakers the power to reject election results.

Toi be fair, Bowers is not killing House Bill 2596, which he could do simply by refusing to assign it to any committee to be considered. Instead, he is assigning the proposal to each and every one of the 12 House committees, because he knows the bill cannot secure approval of each.

This is what people in certain states have to go through to protect elections from other Republicans who want to be able to deny the results of an election simply because they don’t like the outcome.

Arizona? Stand with Bowers and vote out the traitors who would change your vote if it doesn’t go their way.

The other day a client came into our office and as I was talking with her about her project, she told me that I had a beautiful head of hair. And because my brain always goes ‘there’ I said to her:

“Thank you. It’s 100% recycled plastic water bottles.”

Sadly, I think she bought it.

This is Ben Bowers, no relation to Rusty from Arizona; he's a model, actor, hot guy walking. I know nothing more, except that he looks good in a Speedo, but I still ask: Would You Hit It?
