Had yet another Meryl Streep Crisis with Carlos. I was telling him that I saw a video of her appearance on the Graham Norton Show a few years back with Hugh Grant and they were telling stories of making Florence Foster Jenkins.

“She wasn’t in that.”

“Meryl Streep? You think you can tell me something I don’t know about Meryl Streep? Of course she was in the movie.”

“The movie about the really bad singer.”

“Yes. Florence.Foster.Mother-effing.Jenkins.”

“Who did she play?”

“Who did Meryl Streep play in Florence Foster Jenkins?”

“Yes.”

“She played a cab driver who drove Florence to the theater … SHE WAS FLORNCE FOSTER JENKINS.”

“Was she?”

I hadn’t used it in a while but I pulled out my cartoon frying back and clubbed him over the head.

From May 2019 … another scorcher in Smallville and once again Tuxedo has the right idea.

So Jeff Bezos’ arm candy Lauren Sánchez asked Big Daddy if she could take the rocket out for a spin this week and took aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe, social entrepreneur Amanda Nguyen, film producer Kerianne Flynn, Oprah’s side-piece Gayle King, and “singer” and media whore Katy Perry on a ten-minute space ride while real female astronauts are being let go in an anti-DEI nightmare..

The Real Stupid Housewives of Space.

I need some cakes, some simple, plain, unadorned, man cakes to rid my mind of the image of Katy Perry dropping to the ground after her ten-minute ride and kissing Mother Earth.

Thank God for cakes.

The Fascist In Chief says the 5.3 million people who took part in the Hands Off march were paid millions by George Soros—I guess my check is in the mail—and if the MAGAts believe that line, why not pretend you’re a liberal and sign up for the next protest and expose the whole thing.

See, we hate The Felon for free.

That is Peter Hildebrand, father of Daisy—the second unvaccinated girl to die of measles in Texas in just two months. This paragon of fatherhood says he has no regrets about not vaccinating her and just letting her die and does not plan to vaccinate any future children.

In a perfect world Peter would be dead of measles and Daisy could live a long full productive  MAGAt free life.

Brainwashing is powerful … when you’re dumb. 

Well, here’s a novel way to keep people from stealing your fanny back … make it look like a bag of flab hanging over your belt.

First crocs and now this …

Think on this … we are sinking so deep into fascism that a Jewish Governor Josh Shapiro’s house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy who wanted to bash Shapiro’s head in with a hammer is overshadowed by a felon in the White saying he wants to build foreign gulags for American citizens.

Resist before it’s too late.

This Bitch: RFK Jr.

Oh sure, he’s got name recognition, but other than that he’s just one conspiracy theory away from a tinfoil hat.

This week Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. held a press event at an Upper East Side restaurant and served up some wild COVID-19 conspiracy theories. He claims that the virus was a genetically engineered bioweapon “ethnically targeted” to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people:

“COVID-19. There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately. COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese. We don’t know whether it was deliberately targeted or not but there are papers out there that show the racial or ethnic differential and impact.” 

Kennedy’s remark are literally taken from anti-Semitic literature that blames the Jews for the emergence and spread of COVID. In an age where anti-Semitic attacks are on the rise, the spread of this nonsense bull shit is dangerous and stupid, but he doesn’t just say that; he goes on to say the Chinese did this and are planning even more:

“We do know that the Chinese are spending hundreds of millions of dollars developing ethnic bioweapons and we are developing ethnic bioweapons. They’re collecting Russian DNA. They’re collecting Chinese DNA so we can target people by race.”

To be fair, there is a growing consensus among US intelligence agencies that COVID-19 was man-made and escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China  but there is no evidence it was designed to spare certain religious groups or ethnicities, and Kennedy offered no studies to support his claims.

Cuz it’s all bull shit; Kennedy has also claimed that poppers cause AIDS and that tap water is turning children transgender.

UPDATE: Kennedy is incensed that this story got out and claims it’s entirely false:

“The [Post] story is mistaken. I have never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews. I accurately pointed out—during an off-the-record conversation—that the U.S. and other governments are developing ethnically targeted bioweapons and that a 2021 study of the COVID-19 virus shows that COVID-19 appears to disproportionately affect certain races.”

Sounds like he’s admitting that he said it, while trying to deny he said it. But what he’s mostly irate about is that he was quoted in an off the record conversation. What I am most irate about is that there is a videotape of him saying exactly what he says he didn't say.

Well, I say that’s a good thing, because it once again points out the lunacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Poppers cause AIDS, water makes children trans, and COVID was designed to kill only certain people. Seriously, you don’t even hear the most wack-a-doodle Republicans try to sell these theories and they never met a conspiracy they didn’t try to peddle.

So, please vote Blue, but not this crackpot shade of Blue.
