The other night, watching the news before bed, we heard that Barbara Walters had died. Carlos asked:

“What show was she on?”

“The View.”

“No, that other one … Twenty Minutes.”

The man confused Sixty Minutes with 20/20, bless his heart.

This GOP Clown Car Extravaganza is making my week, especially listening to all the dim bulbs in the party—Bobo, Empty G, Gym Jordan, Matt Predator Gaetz—brag about all they will accomplish when they can’t even pick a Speaker.

When the new Congress convenes House Republicans are set to vote on a rules package that guts the Office of Congressional Ethics.

The GOP getting rid of the Ethics Committee makes perfect sense since they’ve never had any.

Elon Musk was the second person ever to amass a personal fortune of more than $200 billion, right after Jeff Bezos, but he also has a new honor all his own: becoming the only person in history to erase $200 billion from their net worth.

Sorry not sorry.

When you shtup a grifter you become one … we now know Junior’s pole-dancing trick, Kimberly Guilfoyle, asked for a $60,000 payment upfront before giving a three-minute speech at Thing 45’s Insurrection Party. Seriously? Does she think she’s a ‘high-class’ call girl now? And she was quite the bitch to campaign deputy Caroline Wren:

“You will pay us that’s the deal so don’t even think about it. You will send the funds as promised.”

Wren disagreed, so Kimmy said they were “done for life,” and then demanded Julie Fancelli, QAnon heir to the supermarket chain Publix, cough up $176.47 per, mostly screeched monosyllabic, word for a total of 60K.

Popped into one of the shops downtown the other and this guy was ahead of me in line and for some reason I forgot why I was there. I had to follow him around all day trying to remember what it was I wanted and then it hit me … cakes!

Remember Mark and Patricia McCloskey, AKA Boozy and Clod, the couple who were pardoned for pointing guns at Black Lives Matter protestors outside their Central West End mansion in 2020? Well, this week a St. Louis judge ruled that they will not be getting their guns or legal fees back.

Mark, er, Clod McCloskey ran for the US Senate this year, finishing fifth with a scant 3% of the vote, and the following month both Boozy and Clod lost as appeal to the US Supreme Court to reinstate their law licenses.

Again, sorry not sorry.

Years back, after Carlos and I met online, I flew to Miami to meet him. About  a month after that he came to California to meet my family and friends. He came to my job and I awkwardly introduced him as a ‘friend’ from Miami. He has given me grief about "My Friend From Miami" for over twenty years.

This past weekend we had cock-a-tales with the Round The Way Gays, David and Neal, who lived right around the corner when we moved into our home. We’d been told there was another gay couple in the neighborhood, and one day after walking the dog, Carlos raced home to tell me he'd seen the other homos.

Well, this past weekend I learned that Carlos stopped to talk with David, who told him his partner, Neal, was in the house and Carlos said he lived around the corner with his … wait for it … it's rich ... and it's on ... friend.

Needless to say, Carlos had an interesting New Year’s Eve.

Finally, I have the perfect apron for when I’m deep frying and want to protect my junk. Plus, it has a zippered compartment for all my, um, kitchen supplies. Yeah, kitchen supplies.
