Bobservations

I walked into the kitchen this morning for breakfast and Carlos says:
“One of the cats puked but I can’t see it.”
Stupidly, I ask:
“Where?”
“By their food dishes, I think.”
I look; I see nothing; I tell Carlos he’s crazy. And then … whichever cat it was—and I blame Max—the puke-hairball wasn’t near their dishes, it was in a dish, and so it looked like food. I tell Carlos and because we have a hard and fast rule that I take care of what goes into the cats and he takes care of what comes out of them, he begins to clean the puke-hairball.


While singing ….



Never a dull moment.
If you ever thought the GOP was the party of Family Values … if you ever thought the GOP cared about anyone but themselves … if you ever thought the GOP doesn’t advocate violence, think on this …


Democrat Mark Kelly, a former NASA astronaut and Navy captain, is running for John McCain’s old Senate seat in Arizona, and the GOP does not like it. Actually, the chair of the Arizona Republican Party, one vile disgusting woman named Kelli Ward, an avid _____ supporter, is especially angry and disgusting.

You may recall that Mark Kelly  is married to former U.S. Representative Gabby Giffords, who nearly lost her life when she was shot in the head in an assassination attempt in 2011,so what Kelli Ward did is all the viler. She sent out a fundraising email to fight Mark Kelly’s campaign, in which she said this:
“Support the Republican Party of Arizona today and, together, we’ll stop gun-grabber Mark Kelly dead in his tracks.”
Stop him dead. And as most vile, NRA-ass-kissing lying hypocritical GOPers are apt to do, Kelli Ward swears up and down she meant no harm:
“Utterly ridiculous! I don’t wish harm on Mr. Kelly. We disagree politically on the Constitution and the [Second Amendment], and I’m well aware of the harm his policies would cause should he ever be elected. Dishonest stories like this are dangerous and irresponsible!”
Stop.Him.Dead.

Fuck off.
When bigot and homophobe Vice President Michael Elizabeth Pence recently went to Reykjavík, Iceland he was met with rainbow flags upon his arrival at Höfði House. In fact, Pride flags were flying all over Iceland when Pence and Mother arrived. An office block belonging to the IT company Advania changed all of its flags to Pride flags for Pence’s arrival.


Then he met with Iceland’s president, Guðni Jóhannesson, who reached out to shake Pence’s hand; Jóhannesson was wearing a rainbow bracelet.


From the look on Pence's face, you just know Mother was hissing, “Avert your eyes.”

Out of fear, no doubt, that Pence would bolt and seek asylum under a Pride flag.
Depending on whom you’re listening to, _____ either fired National Security Advisor John Bolton, or Bolton resigned.


Rumors first suggested Bolton bolted because of _____’s planned meeting with terrorists on the anniversary of 9/11, but rumors also suggest it was because Bolton wagged his tongue about _____’s suggestion that nuking a hurricane might stop it.

Seriously? I thought he said he only hired the best people.

PS In that photo, is Bolton making a gesture about size?
In news that warms my cold black heart, Jerry Falwell Jr is accusing a photography company of doctoring photos of him at a nightclub, drinking and dancing, which is against the rules of his ALLEGED university, but … the company has the receipts and is sharing them far and wide.


Liberty University is so conservative that they don’t allow students to drink, even if they live off-campus and they’re over 21. The school also considers it “improper social behavior” for students to interact with the opposite sex after dark or display any affection for one another beyond handholding.

Cut to Jerry and his son Trey cavorting, drinking and dancing after dark at WALL, a Miami nightclub, and clearly the Baby Jeebus has some questions. And when Politico licensed a photo from World Red Eye, which photographs nightlife in Miami and, oops, there he is … Jerry Falwell, partying like it’s 1999.

Falwell shrieked:
“There was no picture snapped of me at WALL nightclub or any other nightclub.”
Then World Red Eye  and Politico released the photos, which Falwell swears are “photoshopped”.

Oh Jerry. Between this and Pool Boy, you are clearly a lying hypocritical faux Christian; but then we already knew that.

UPDATE

Now that it’s proven the photos are real, Jerry Falwell says he was at that nightclub, but only for thirty minutes and only to listen to the music.
Quick note ... we've seen several deaths from people using Vape pens in recent weeks and the _____ Administration now wants to ban them.



As of August 31, 2019, some 297 mass shootings have occurred this year, with 1,219 people were injured and 335 murdered, but no action on gun control.


I guess we’re lucky the NRA doesn’t sell vape pens?

Adam McMahon. I don’t know much about him except that he’s a fitness model, and he’s been doing it for a very long time.



That, and the fact he makes me tingle … down there.


Just sayin’.

An New-Fashioned Wedding


There's something in the air in Iceland, and it's not just ash.

As you may have heard, Iceland has legalized same-sex marriage--which of course, as the no-brainers like to say, caused a volcano to erupt--earlier this year.

Well, to set the standard, and to mark the occasion, newly-elected Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir just married her longtime partner, Jonina Leosdottir last Sunday, which was the same day that the same-sex marriage law came into effect.

Leosdottir and Sigurdardottir have been in a registered partnership since 2002, and while they had the same rights as heterosexual couples, their partnership was never considered equal to a formal marriage.

Until now. And, even better than that? No one cares. It wasn't a big whoop-de-do. it was a simple ceremony where two people, who are in love, and in a committed relationship, got married.

In fact, the only statement released about the ceremony was from Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir herself, who said: "I have today taken advantage of this new legislation."

Just another day. Just another happy couple. Just another marriage.

Iceland Goes all Gay Marriage


Iceland, the only country in the world to have an openly gay head of state, passed a law last week granting same-sex partners the right to get married in a vote which met with no political resistance.

Huh? What? Huh?

Iceland? More progressive than the United States.


The Althingi parliament voted 49 to zero to change the wording of marriage legislation to include matrimony between "man and man, woman and woman," in addition to unions between men and women.

Of course, Iceland also is the first country in the world to elect an openly gay head of state back in 2009 when Social Democrat Johanna Sigurdardottir [pictured above] became prime minister. Her sexual orientation garnered far more interest among foreign media than in Iceland, where the attitude toward homosexuality has grown increasingly relaxed in the past two or three decades.

"The attitude in Iceland is fairly pragmatic," said Gunnar Helgi Kristinsson, a political scientist at the University of Iceland. "It (gay marriage) has not been a big issue in national politics -- it's not been controversial."

Not.Been. Controversial.

Iceland. Who knew?
