Bobservations

We lead an exciting life, Carlos and me; we are in the midst of having the gutters replaced on the house. Oh calm down. Don’t be jealous, we can’t all lead such fabulous lives.

Anyway, Carlos asked me if I had the name of the gutter company we were looking into and I said I’d get it off the computer after dinner. But, before checking, I went through the mail and laughed and Carlos said:

“What’s so funny?”

 “We were just talking about the gutters and here’s a flier in the mail for the same company! I’ll leave it on the counter and we can call tomorrow.”

Cut to the next morning, and Carlos said:

“You told me yesterday you were going to get the gutter company phone number.”

“I know, but then we got the flier in the mail and I told you I’d give you the number first thing this morning.”

“I don’t remember that conversation.”

I took out my cartoon frying pan, ready to thwap his melon and told him that he drives me insane.

“Do I?”

Thwap.

This Tuxedo Says is from August 2020 and, well, the same is true today, nearly five years later:

Tuxedo feels about the Occupant of the White House the same as his two Dads although he's slightly less profane …

That’s my boy!

Out there in Utah students in kindergarten would be required to learn about firearm safety in the classroom under a bill that passed the state House with overwhelming GOP support.

Yes, your five- and six-year-old would be required to learn how to handle a gun. What could possibly go wrong?

There is nothing like a pair of hot, romantic skinny dipping cakes while sitting by the ocean, eh?

After The Felon named himself chairman of Kennedy Center and removed Biden appointees from the board in favor of unqualified cronies including Second Lady Usha Vance and White House Chief of staff Susie Wiles, dozens of celebrities abandon the performing arts center in protest:

Actor Issa Rae announced that she is cancelling her "An Evening With Issa Rae" event slated for next month and that tickets will be refunded:

"Unfortunately, due to what I believe to be an infringement on the values of an institution that has faithfully celebrated artists of all backgrounds through all mediums, I’ve decided to cancel my appearance at this venue."

Television producer and writer Shonda Rhimes has resigned as treasurer of the center's board, quoting JFK:

“If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him."

Adam Weiner of the band Low Cut Connie has also canceled an appearance at the center:

"Upon learning that this institution that has run nonpartisan for 54 years is now chaired by [The Felon] himself and his regime, I decided I will not perform there."

Legendary soprano Renée Fleming resigned as artistic advisor to the center, as did singer-songwriter Ben Folds, who  stepped down from his role as advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra.

This is just the kind of rejection that infuriates The Felon more than anything. He has long wanted to be accepted by America's cultural elites but they see him for the cruel, fascist, incompetent failure he truly is.

The National Park Service has removed ‘transgender’ from the website for the Stonewall National Monument in New York, a small park dedicated to an LGBTQ+ uprising that helped advance civil rights for our community. And not only did they remove the word "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

The federal government is attempting to erase our trans brothers and sisters, and you can bet that next they will come for the rest of us.

This pride, we riot … again.

Unlike Google, which has followed the Fascist in Chief in renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, Encyclopedia Britannica has said it will continue to use Gulf of Mexico for a few reasons:

We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the US.

The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water and the US’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

And stupid.

Texas is reporting one of the biggest measles outbreaks in generations, with 48 cases, doubling since last week, with 13 hospitalizations.

The outbreak started in Gaines County, which has one of the lowest child vaccination rates in the state, and where 91% of the people voted for The Felon.

This is what happens when you trust MAGA over doctors and scientists.

Homos To The Rescue

Leave it to a couple of 'mos.

We've all cursed BP over the D-I-saster in the Gulf of Mexico, and now Luke Montgomery is taking it to the next level with his Unf__k The Gulf campaign.

Montgomery, a longtime gay activist, and founder of Good Ideas for Good Causes [HERE], recently launched his latest charity campaign, this time focused on the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history.

“The inception of it was my boyfriend Nate [Guidas] and I were sitting in front of the television screaming 'fuck' every 20 seconds about something that BP was doing, about seeing birds covered in oil. And we knew there were other people screaming 'fuck' at the television 24/7. So let’s take all of this anger and harness it and do something good with it.”

UnF—k the Gulf's fundraising efforts center on T-shirt sales [order them HERE....mine is on the way] and for every $13 shirt sold, $5 is donated to environmental organizations, most of which are actively working in the Gulf.

The abundance of expletives in the duo’s viral video—and particularly the use of children to deliver some of them—has already caught the ire of Bill O’Reilly, who devoted a recent segment on his Fox News show condemning Montgomery for using kids in a F bomb-laden ad. Montgomery’s response?

“It’s patriotic to use the F-word in defense of our shorelines.”

THIS Is YOUR Republican Party

Apologizing to Big Oil for the treatment they've received after the oil spill in the Gulf.
Shameful.
Shameless.

Weep, Bobby, Weep

The Height Of Stupidity, Or, In This Case, The Depth Of Stupidity

Tony Hayward, chief executive of British Petroleum, claims the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is "relatively tiny" compared with the "very big ocean".

Oh yes he did.

In an interview with the Guardian at BP's crisis center in Houston, Hayward insisted that the leaked oil and the estimated 400,000 gallons of dispersant that BP has pumped into the sea to try to tackle the slick should be put in context, saying, "The Gulf of Mexico is a very big ocean. The amount of volume of oil and dispersant we are putting into it is tiny in relation to the total water volume."

Maybe so, Tony, so why don't we find a way to haul it out of the Gulf Of Mexico and lay it on the shores of Great Britain. I bet you'd be singing a different, less asshatted, tune then. Right Tony?

Another Wingnut On The Oil Spill

Gun-totin', Christian, Republican, Texas Governor Rick Perry thinks the oil spill in the Gulf Of Mexico is an "act of God."

Uh-huh. Eleven people are dead, and 2 million gallons of oil a day are spilling into the ocean, and it was God's fault.

Rick Perry, speaking at a benefit:

“We don’t know what the event that has allowed for this massive oil to be released. And until we know that, I hope we don’t see a knee-jerk reaction across this country that says we’re going to shut down drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, because the cost to this country will be staggering."

He then suggested the disaster might be "just an act of God that occurred." But, Rick, here's why you're a fool.

God doesn't work for Halliburton, which was cementing the well when the explosion set off.

God does not work for British Petroleum, which saved a cool $500,000 by not installing "a remote-control shutoff switch" currently required in regulations imposed by other major oil-producing nations.

It was an accident, Rick. A culmination of bad decisions and shortcuts. Not God.

She won't like you layin' the blame at her feet.

It's The Drug Talking. Again.

Drug Limbaugh is at it again. The King Of Oxycontin believes that the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was caused by "hardcore environmentalist wackos" blowing up an oil rig.

"I want to get back to the timing of the blowing up, the explosion out there in the Gulf of Mexico of this oil rig. Since they're sending SWAT teams down there now this changes the whole perspective of this. Now, lest we forget, ladies and gentlemen, the carbon tax bill, cap and trade that was scheduled to be announced on Earth Day. I remember that. And then it was postponed for a couple of days later after Earth Day, and then of course immigration has now moved in front of it."

Seriously, Rush, lower the dosage.Why would environmentalist want to harm the ecosystem of every state along the Gulf of Mexico, and probably up the east coast of the United States, to prove a point. Environmentalists, you asshat, are pro-environment. I mean, if there was, say, an explosion at a drug lab, I wouldn't accuse Limbaugh, just because he's pro-drugs...of the prescription variety at least.

But then Drug Limbaugh goes further, and says it's only natural that oil is spilling into the Gulf because "oil is supposed to be in the water."

"You do survive these things. I'm not advocating don't care about it hitting the shore or coast and whatever you can do to keep it out of there is fine and dandy, but the ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and was left out there. It's natural. It's as natural as the ocean water is."

Yes, because the ocean set up a rig and drilled into the ground beneath the sea and then caused the rig to collapse and the pipeline to break and 5,000 barrels of oil a day spill into the water.

It's natural.
