First story: as we inch toward Halloween I would like to share the three scariest words in my life; it’s Carlos saying: “I … was … thinking … ” Shivers. Second story: because we are such true romantics, we decided that the 20th anniversary gift is garden equipment, so we bought a new lawn mower. Who said romance is dead? Not me! |

If you were looking for a good reason to vote, Tuxedo says you should think of it like this: |
 |
| I am dying over here because my favorite serial killer is coming back to TV. Showtime has announced that Dexter will be back next year, with star Michael C. Hall, for 10 new episodes. I’m here for the Bay Harbor Butcher again. |

Merriam-Webster dictionary has changed “sexual preference” to be an “offensive” term after SCOTUS nominee Amy Coney Barrett used the term—twice—and didn’t acknowledge it, or faux-pologize, until Senator Mazie Hirono took her to task for it; the dictionary says:“The term preference as used to refer to sexual orientation is widely considered offensive in its implied suggestion that a person can choose who they are sexually or romantically attracted to.” Merriam-Webster confirmed the change was made because of Barrett’s homophobia. |

| It’s not just ReTHUGlicans who are despicable, sometime Democrats are just as asshatted. Last week Georgia state Representative Vernon Jones, a conservative MAGAt-loving, _____-supporting Democrat, crowdsurfed over a packed, mostly maskless crowd at ______’s superspreader rally in Macon. Again, I don’t wish the virus on anyone, but if Jones were to come down with COVID-19 I might not really care. |

| From the Stupid File comes ______, who warned a crowd at a Corona-palooza rally in Nevada that Joe Biden would “listen to the scientists” if elected. Oh no! Not science! ______ then added: “If I listened totally to the scientists, we would right now have a country that would be in a massive depression.” I guess millions and millions out of work doesn’t matter as long as the markets go up. Cast a goddamned vote!! |

| More stupid? CNN analyst and New Yorker contributor Jeffrey Toobin was caught masturbating on a Zoom “election simulation” in front of prominent journalists and producers. Seriously? A grown-ass man in the middle of a zoom call, takes a break and decides to whip out his dick for a few strokes, without turning off the camera? The New Yorker has suspended Toobin, and he has taken a leave from CNN. |
 |
| Moving on to The Liar File … a few weeks ago ______ said he would spend up to $100 million of his own money on his reelection bid. Cut to October and ______ has contributed about $8,000. Maybe he doesn’t really want it this time … or he’s broke … so let’s give him his wish. Cast a goddamned vote! |
 |
| Last week SCOTUS declared that Pennsylvania mail-in ballots that are received up to three days after the election must be counted, and this week a U.S. federal appeals court left in place North Carolina’s plan for counting absentee ballots that arrive after Election Day. A smackdown for _____, but a win for democracy and free and fair elections. |
 |
| Despite a federal judge's order that the US reunite families separated at the border under _____’s "no tolerance" immigration policy, the parents of 545 children still can't be found. Thanks America; you’re complicit in stealing children from their parents. How proud we must be. |
 |
| This week Pope Francis called for the passage of civil union laws for same-sex couples. Look at that! The Pope and, by extension, the Catholic Church, have finally arrived … in 2000. How long before they join the rest of us in 2020? |

After all this rubbish, I need a beefy hunk to cleanse my palate … so here’s Tom Berklund, an out Broadway actor, singer, dancer, and, as you can see, a very hot man. He sings, he dances, he poses in his underwear …  Okay … |
