Bobservations

Carlos is still under the weather—we have been on the lookout for Oregano oil as suggested by Treader—but the other day he whipped out the humidifier and some essential oils to clear out his throat. I walked into the guest bathroom and he was hunched over the thing and I asked if he wanted a towel to put over his head and he said No thanks.

I then asked if he wanted a chair from the kitchen table so he wouldn't have to stoop over and he asked why I was being so nice; I replied:

“I’m always nice, motherfucker.”

I think humor is the best medicine.

This Tuxedo Memory is from October 2011 when I was trying to monetize the cats to help with their expenses …

"Caturday: Head Shots

I'm thinking of pitching a new idea to Bravo, The Real HouseCats Of Camden, so I have been taking headshots of the players for my proposal.

Here they are: 

Tuxedo would be that cat. The one everybody loves and wonders why he is on such a trashy show.

Consuelo Roca Jones would be the cat that flips the table.

Tallulah Belle is the crazy one, with the wonky eyes, that you never know when she'll attack.

MaxGoldberg will be the one who cries. On cue.

And for a little diversity, we'll toss Ozzo in the mix. He'll be the outsider who's always crashing the HouseCat parties and eating their food."

It breaks my heart realizing that with the exception of Consuelo all these lovelies are gone now.

News from Blue Tuesday … 

In Pennsylvania, Moms for Liberty [MfL], the right-wing “parental rights” hate group advocating an anti-woke agenda in America’s schools, had a rough night in the elections where all five of the Republican candidates in Central Bucks were included in the MfL guide and yet all five seats were won by Democrats. And then in Pennridge, another school district in Bucks County, all five of those school board’s open seats went to Democrats. And lastly, Pennsylvania Democrats expanded their majority on the state Supreme Court, a potential sign of strength heading into the 2024 election and another win for a campaign centered on abortion rights.

In Iowa, the highly contested Linn-Mar school board race had eight candidates vying for four open spots and all candidates supported by MfL failed to get in the top four.

Meanwhile in Virginia, state Delegate, Democrat Danica Roem won her race for the state Senate, while state Senator, Democrat Adam Ebbin defeated his GOP opponent while state Delegate, Democrat Mark Sickles won re-election in House District 17. Roem is transgender; Ebbin and Sickles are both gay. Even better, Virginia Democrats maintained control of the state Senate and flipped the state House, providing Democrats with a stronger hand pushing against the policy priorities of Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin.

In Ohio, most men and women voted yes on Issue 1, establishing a right to abortion in the state’s constitution.

It was a gloriously blue day in much of the country.

Kayleigh McEnany, AKA Bullshit Barbie, is pissed off by the Thing 45 fraud trial but not for the reasons you might think. Nope, this dope took issue with an unflattering courtroom sketch of Inmate # P01135809 shortly after he finished testifying and offered this piece of advice:

“I would advise them to ask for a better sketch artist because that does not look like my former boss there. This is a travesty of justice. And that sketch is a travesty too. It looks nothing like Trump.”

Seriously, he’s facing the possibility of losing tons of coins, and most of his business dealings in New York but Little Kayleigh is mad because the sketch of him looks bad.

The Ron DeSantis presidential campaign … hold for laughter … formally rolled out a new endorsement from Iowa’s Governor, QAnon Goose-stepper, or whatever her name is.

See, for just $25, or more, small dollar donors will be able to watch Governor Kim Reynolds formally confer her nod of approval on Governor High Heels.

Seriously, Ronnie? This is  a money-making thing for your campaign?

PS Kimmie’s endorsing DeFascist because he probably promised her the VP slot.

This past weekend, Carlos was feeling a little better so we went off to do our CostCo pilgrimage. We were also looking for some things we’ll need for Thanksgiving dinner as we’re having friends in and are doing the cooking ourselves.

I was looking for a turkey, but I found none, and thought maybe they won’t come in this far off from the Big Day but as we strolled the aisles I saw a CostCo employee and stopped to ask:

“Do you know if they have any turkeys yet?”

“Oh, I don’t know, I just work in clothes and socks … “

“Well, are there any turkeys wearing clothes and socks?”

She looked at me as if I were nuts. She wasn’t far off.

Sebastiano Pigazzi is an Italian actor and model whose most famous TV role was his crotch in And Just Like That, the Sex and The City reboot  thirst grab. But this isn’t all about that … Would You hit It?

  2. “are there any turkeys wearing clothes and socks?” ROFLMAO. You are quite the turkey yourself. The photo that has bullshit Barbie panties in a bunch actually looks more like Inmate# P01135809 shapeshifting into Miss Lindsey. As for poor Carlos, I’ve heard tales of a drink called Hot Toddy as a cure all. Also, Pau de Arco tea has been my go-to for years.

  4. Seb? Yes. Just so you know, if you'd have asked the question about a turkey in socks and clothes, one of my fellow associates would have replied, "just you." And, we Pennsylvanians are still celebrating.

  5. What a group of lovely cats (and dog) you've had! Although the news was mostly positive around the country, in my school district the three candidates endorsed by educators lost to three endorsed by the police department--the only one of them I know personally is extremely conservative and religious. So...that's discouraging.

    1. Hopefully, though, this tide will continue into 2024 and the bigots and haters will scurry back underground.

  6. OMG I don't watch much reality TV, but these kitties? In a heartbeat.
    As for the Repugs getting their asses handed to them by the electorate? Joyful. Especially the Klanned Karenhood harpies.

    And isn't Bucks County Mads' stomping grounds? She probably went door to door and told them to vote Blue. Good for PA!

    Stanka and Meatball Ron are grifters with memory issues, of course. And I had no idea there were crotch shots in JLT. I have not watched any of it, because I'm old school SATC.

    XOXO

    1. I think the cats would have ruled the airwaves!
      I haven't seen And Just Like That because I loathe SJP, but I did catch the walk of Sebastiano.

  7. Hope Carlos is feeling better. You do know Carlos is the I Should Be Laughing mascot and should be treated with all due respect. Husband or not.

    I read once that Ivanka's voice is an act. They say her voice is a lot huskier and she swears like a sailor. Think NJ girl. Now, there is nothing wrong with a Jersey girl. Just sayin.

    We love it when you break open the wallet and show us pictures of the kids. You do know you guys are the servants to them right?

  8. Tuesday's election results gave me a small boost of hope. I hope it carried into next year.

  9. That Real Housecats show would be the only Real show I would watch!

    I think you'll find killing Carlos with kindness is going to take a lot longer than you'd expect.

  10. That's the problem with pets. we love 'em and they leave us far too early leaving their paw prints on our hearts. But not having had them in our lives would have been far worse.
    I do hope the results from this week will carry forward. The MfL sound like a lovely group - NOT!
    I haven't had a chance to read/hear about Ivanka's testimony but I can't imagine she took any more responsibility than her loser brothers and father did. Grifters, cheats, and arrogant POS's,all of them.

    1. I cannot imagine not having had the pets Carlos and I have had; so much love.
      Ivanka was lying during her testimony.

  11. I agree with Kayleigh that Elizabeth Williams's sketch of Old Trump is a poor one. He looks far too handsome in that picture and his hands are far too big. Everybody knows he has teeny weeny hands like a squirrel

    1. I didn't so much as notice the oddly human sized hands as I did the fact that he looks like Lindsey Graham!

  12. I think this speculation about Sebastiano's crotch quite unfair to him. I volunteer to put an end to such speculation after undertaking a thorough investigation and inspection.

  13. Hi Bob, I ordered origano oil (I realized afterwards "oregano" is the French spelling) from Amazon and it came in 24 hours. But I stopped in at the local health food store anyway and they had it there too. If you do get some I hope it works and that Carlos feels better soon!

  14. A good blue election, and that is not the only thing in blue on this post.

  16. Take that, you fucking moms for liberty asshole haters! I would probably enjoy the real housecats show. If I worked at Costco and you asked me the question about turkeys wearing socks and clothes, I'd probably fall on the floor laughing. I hope Carlos feels better soon.

    Love,

      Carlos is on the mend. He's back to practicing the trumpet so he's clearly feeling better!
