Bobservations

So Carlos was telling me the story of Thais, who was in love with Venus and—it’s quite long and involved and this isn’t about that, so we’ll skip ahead—then he said:

“That’s when the opera started.”

Now, some of you may know that Carlos pronounces ‘opera’ like ‘oprah’ and I always get a giggle about that and it flusters him, but as he told the story, I said:

“Oprah was there? Oprah? What was Oprah doing?”

And without missing a beat, he says:

“She was giving away camels. You get a camel! And you get a camel!”

Sometimes he slays me.

Pete Buttigieg is simple, straightforward, common sense, with no hype, no bull shiz, no inflammatory speech. This man needs to be President one day soon.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has endorsed a bipartisan electoral count reform bill, giving the legislation a key boost over a similar bill the House passed. Both bills would prevent future fascist narcissistic presidents from trying to overturn election results through Congress.

The Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act would amend the Electoral Count Act of 1887 and reaffirm that the vice president has only a ministerial role at the joint session of Congress to count electoral votes, as well as raise the threshold necessary for members of Congress to object to a state’s electors.

Nice to see the GOP line up behind this since, you know, January 6 was a GOP thang, and one sure fire reason to stand behind this is that insurrectionist and Big Liar Ted Cruz is against it..

CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is not getting at least one vote that we know of … because her husband of twenty-seven years, Perry Greene, has filed for divorce. Marge Greene, adulterer, is famous for saying:

“Marriage is a wonderful thing and I’m a firm believer in it. Our society is formed by a husband and wife creating a family to nurture and protect. Together, Perry and I formed our family and raised three great kids. He gave me the best job title you can ever earn: Mom.”

Now he’s calling you Ex-. And before anyone thinks I’m being mean, remember Marjorie Taylor Greene attacks other people's marriages, like mine, calling hers the model.

And yet her husband calls the marriage "Irretrievably broken." Sorry. Not Sorry.

Look, I joke a lot, and I’m sarcastic a lot but I think I’m a good friend and here’s one example:

A friend called me and asked if I would loan him $1300 to help him pay rent. Those who know me, know that I’m always willing to help out friends & family but I told him to give me some time to think about it and I would call him back. Before I called him, though, his brother phoned to let me know that my friend was lying and that my friend needed the $1300 to bail his girlfriend out of jail so they could be together for her birthday. Well, I thought about it and decided to give my friend the money anyway because we all need help at times and as sarcastic as I am, I am kinda soft-hearted.

A couple of hours later I got a call from the police station. It was my friend, crying and screaming and asking why I gave him $1300 in counterfeit money.

I told him it was so he and his girlfriend could be under the same roof for her birthday.

Last week Ernesto Martin Herrera tried to serve Texas Attorney General with a subpoena for a federal court hearing in a lawsuit from nonprofits that want to help Texans pay for abortions out of state. When Herrera arrived at Paxton’s home he told a woman who identified herself as Paxton’s wife, Angela, that he needed to deliver legal documents to her husband.

She said Paxton was on the phone and unable to come to the door. Herrera said he'd wait, but an hour later Angela exited the house, got into a truck in the driveway, started it, opened the doors and then Paxton came running from the house, got into the car and she drove away.

Paxton then Tweeted:

“It’s clear that the media wants to drum up another controversy involving my work as Attorney General, so they’re attacking me for having the audacity to avoid a stranger lingering outside my home and showing concern about the safety and well-being of my family.”

A stranger who identified himself? And Paxton shows concern for his family by making his wife answer the door? By making his wife head out to the driveway and start up the getaway car and then he runs outside like a rat and jumps in?

This is the epitome of ReTHUGlicans.

I moved out of Florida to get away from hurricanes, and now it appears that Ian will be coming right over the top of Casa Bob y Carlos Friday night and into Saturday and Sunday.

The good news—is there ever good news with a hurricane—is that the storm should lessen significantly before we get it, and the projected rainfall totals for Camden aren’t so terrible.

But, seriously, Mama Nature, why?

Anthony Bowens is the first out gay wrestler to become an All-Elite Wrestling [AEW] champion, and man oh man is he a hunk of man-meat, but … Would You Hit It? Or Would You Let Him Hit You?

  1. I guess camels are a dime a dozen 😎😎😎 And the MTG divorce is being kept under wraps when it comes to the $$$, guess they don't want people knowing how much she grifted. I understand Paxton's going to be trying out for the GOP Track Team. Hope you make through Ian fine. I actually know an Ian and he is quite the mischief maker.

  2. Well, hopefully your brush with Ian won't be too severe. Florida sure is getting hammered.

    I wonder how the evangelicals and pro-family types will justify MTG's divorce?

    You know I'm with you 100 percent on Pete Buttigieg.

    1. Fingers are crossed about Ian.
      I bet the evangelicals will place all the blame on her husband because she's such a good "christian" woman.
      Yes, for Pete!

  4. Carlos!!!!!! Is here there all week performing?

    Sometimes...but very few time McConnell can surprise us. If he went with his gut more and do what he knows is right ...people would have more respect for him.

    And good on MTG. I will be a cold bitch and laugh. I never give her a break on her Instagram. Every time a get a warning...a back off till the time is up and start again.

    And yes PETE for President!!!!! Joe is ok I was never really sold on him...but Pete would have been so much better. I worry for Joe. And he isn't looking good.

    1. I'm will be calling him Carlos Dangerfield from now on.
      MTG deserves all the wrath for playing the holier-=than-thou bull shiz.
      Man, I so want Pete as President. The simple common sense answers are what we need.

    2. Ditto on Pete. Down to Earth and like you said puts it right out there in plain terms. And he's young! Compared to how old our past presidents have been. And besides, if you want something done right, have a queen do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. Margarine has clearly never read the Ten Commandments; or if she has perhaps she doesn't understand the meaning of the word adultery. Maybe that's why she went ahead and did it, not understanding that god does not approve.

    Mark 10:10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this. 11 He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. 12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery." - Somebody ask Majorie Traitor Greene to comment on the topic.

  7. You and I will need to take a road trip, with Carlos' permission of course, and interview MTG's husband-Perry. I don't know if he is like minded. What I can gather he graduated with a degree in accounting and runs the Taylor Construction Company in Atlanta. According to an article I quickly read-- https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/who-perry-greene-all-marjorie-taylor-greene-s-husband-files-divorce-us-congresswoman --states that MTG has had multiple affairs.

    I say all of this to state that one doesn't really know the true character of a person until it is tested. Maybe Perry thought he could ride it out but it was more of the same rabid nonsense. He maybe just cutting bait and saying enough is enough. I am sure there are many folks out are having second thoughts about those sitting next to them spewing al this Republican nonsense. "What?" are they thinking and declaring "I am out of here!" , "Not my values."

    Let me know when to pick you up and what your wearing.

    Best,

    Victor

    1. I'm sure he dumped MTG's ass because of the two men who came forward and said she cheated on her husband with them.
      And good for him, I say.
      PS I'm ready, and I'm wearing a straw hat and a sarong with Mardi Gras beads.

  8. And Marjorie Trashheap Greene asked everyone to respect their privacy. Say what, asshole?!?

    Carlos sure can give you a run for your money. (But did Oprah REALLY give everyone a camel?!?)

    1. Since Marge respects NO ONE'S privacy I will give her that same respect.

      Carlos, who knows next to nothing about pop culture, slays me when he gets it right, and funny!

  9. My favorite day of the week is Tales of Carlos day.

    And as for all the rest. Well I can't even bring myself to spell paxton with a capital P and MTG being sued for divorce by her "loving" husband is priceless just like Master Card. Bowens; getting hit or being hit by...well that is his choice. I would just be a willing participant.

    Now the really important part. Ian even in his reduced state is noting to ignore. Please be careful. Make sure you have batteries, water, food, medications if you take any, all that stuff. Prepare your house as if paxton and MTG were on their way to visit. In other words, put up the baricades and be safe.

  15. I hope Casa Bob y Carlos is left undamaged. We've had a very easy day of it. I hate sending Ian your way because he's supposed to gain strength as he moves on. Running Paxton makes me think of that little bitch Josh Hawley running from his own mob. I don't know how anyone could be married to Margie for 27 years, but the fact that he married her in the first place and stayed with her this long makes me wonder about his sanity. I love Carlos. I think Mayor Pete has the potential to be very good President Pete, and I would like to see that happen.

    Love,
    Janie

    1. Hopefully it's just a rain event and not a lot of damaging winds; I'm good with that.
      I think maybe he stayed for the kids who are now all over 18 and safe from her???
      Pete's common sensibility is rare in politics these days.

    I wanted Pete the 1st time around...wasn't convinced old Joe could do it. Please make it happen now! And MTG can kiss my ass, though she's already kissed the Orange Moron's and probably half (or more) of Georgia! Still don't trust Mitch -- he's got something up his sleeve...

  17. It's a good scenario, but I doubt Trump would fit into the back of a squad car, not without a lot of pushing and grunting and maybe folding him in half. They'd have to commandeer a dump truck instead.

    Y’all are in Camden, SC?? I grew up in Hartsville and still go back to visit family a few times a year. Trying to get the latest on Ian impacts down there. Camden’s beautiful though; hope it was nothing but a little rain and breeze for you guys.
