We’re in a bit of a fire warning stage here in South Carolina because of the heat and while Carlos and I were out running errands on Tuesday we must have seen four or five fire trucks racing down the roads and here’s what gets me …

PEOPLE DON’T GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!!

They speed up and maybe move slightly to the right but they keep driving and it pisses me off so I began a rant to Carlos about people not getting out of the way. As you know, my rants go on and on and on and how I think fire trucks should have cameras and any car that doesn’t get out of the way their license plate should be tagged and they should be fined. When I finished I looked at Carlos for his reaction.

Asleep.

“Are you sleeping???”

“No!”

“What did I say?”

“You were talking about the drivers.”

And so I guess he was awake but then I thought again …

“What about the drivers?”

“That they all drive too slow and brake too much.”

“And the fire trucks?”

“What fire trucks?”

Gotcha!

This Tale of Tuxedo is from January 2011 …

You know, what goes around........

Tuxedo was my feline caregiver when I was sick--with Carlos being my human nurse. He was sitting at my side, or rather, he would sit on me, leading me to think he was one of those Death Cats, waiting for me to, ahem crossover. Now, I know that all he wanted was for his Daddy to get better.

And I am getting better.

So, when Tux needed a little pampering, well, he got it. He curled up in a Afghan my mother made for me, and napped, while I periodically checked on him, and brought him snacks, and sat on him, well, by his side.

Here's to my Round-The-Clock Nurse, Tuxedo.

Ian Charleson [left] told the theater company he was recovering from sinus surgery when he was actually dying of AIDS and had just agreed to play Hamlet at the National Theatre. The part became available after Daniel Day-Lewis walked off the stage mid-run, collapsing during the scene where Hamlet meets his father's ghost; Day-Lewis later claimed he had seen his own ghost. So, Ian  Charleson took over, and outside a few close friends only the director, Richard Eyre, knew what it was costing him to stand up there.

He opened on 13 November 1989 and actor Ian McKellen was in the audience that night and so overwhelmed by Charleson’s Hamlet that gifted Charleson his own Best Actor award. But after that first night Charleson never appeared on a stage again. He died eight weeks later, on January 6, 1990 at age 40.

But this isn’t about his brilliant performance it was about what he did after he died, something nobody in Britain was doing in 1990: he left instructions that his cause of death, AIDS, be made public and his was the first show business death in the country openly attributed to AIDS.

A hero and an icon even in death.

American audiences know Charleson from Chariots of Fire, where he played Eric Liddell, the Scottish runner who wouldn't race on Sundays. And now Andrew Scott [right], an out gay actor and quite a handsome fella, is playing him now in Elsinore, the story of Charleson’s life and death, which opens in London in October and reaches US theaters in November.

I only found out the neighbors were having a party when the cake deliveries began showing up … I’m looking forward to my invitation.

I’m gagged … South Dakota ex-Governor and ex-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi DogKiller Noem has unveiled a statue of herself.

Seriously. But the best part of all this was the influx of alternate Noem statues with her cross-dressing husband, or her love of plastic surgery, or her audition statue to play Freddy Krueger, or the one of her killing her dog.

The only one I couldn’t find was of Kristi on all fours taking it from behind by her married lover Corey Lewandowski.

Noem is said to be mulling over her future in politics but I think she’s better suited to statuary.

Recently, under orders from DUI Hire Pete Hegseth the Navy ended a 43-year contract with The Sewing Box, a Black-owned family business who made the Blue Angel uniforms. The last five-year contract with The Sewing Box paid out $400,000 to the business but rather sticking with a long-term arrangement Hegseth signed a new contract with another company and is paying them $1.69 million.

Sounds about white for a racist, misogynistic, transphobic drunken former Fox News talking head.

Taylor Fresh Foods (Taylor Farms) has issued a recall on 20 ready-to-eat products containing jalapeños due to potential Salmonella contamination. The recall follows a prior July voluntary recall of iceberg lettuce over Cyclospora concerns.

Boycott Taylor Farms until they can prove their products are safe.

It's not so much that Cankles snuck away in a catering container because of some threat that Iran was going to shoot the plane down; it's that he left the entire Air Force One crew and the innocent Press Pool behind as decoys while he crawled into a food truck.

He doesn't have a single moral fiber in his body though he does have an ass the size of a VW that had to be lubed with Hellman's Mayo to squeeze it into that food cart! 

Antonio Ortega is an international fashion model represented by top-tier agencies such as Wilhelmina, Next Management and Modelwerk; born in Mexico he is 6’1” tall with brilliant green eyes which seem to ask, Would You Hit It?

This Carlos story needs a flashback because we dig deep …

When we first moved to Camden and purchased Casa Bob y Carlos, we asked Carlos’ Aunt Gloria to visit, and she did … in December when it’s frigid in Camden. And Gloria had only ever lived in Mexico City and Miami and San Juan, so the cold was not her thing. But we tried to make her comfortable and raised the heat while she was here; it got so hot in the house I was in T-shirt and shorts the whole time, but Gloria never felt warm. One day she opened the door to her room and shouted down the hallway:

“Please, boys, turn up the heat. I will happily pay the bill.”

Turn it up we did but she was never warm—which is why she never visited in winter again—but the joke was on us because when she left and I was cleaning the guest room I noticed the vents in her room, and in her bathroom, were all closed! Oy.

So, cut to this morning, and I turn on the AC at about 7:30. We keep the AC at 80-degrees because there are ceiling fans in every room and the house stays cool, but as I walked into the kitchen Carlos says:

“I’ll gladly pay the AC bill for some cool air.”

And I responded thusly:

“You picked the wrong morning to fuck with me.”

“What—"

“I got the most horrendous cramp in my foot at 3AM and couldn’t sleep the rest of the night. I got up to take an aspirin hoping that would ease the pain and hobbled into the kitchen to find … we had no aspirin or Tylenol or anything thing. So I lay in bed wincing and tossing and turning.”

“I thought I told you we needed Ty—”

“Nope, save that story, sister, because if you’d said we needed Tylenol we would have Tylenol.”

“Well, I also had a bad night’s sleep because when I came to bed at 11:30 your phone kept making that sound it makes when you plug the charger into it and I had to get up in the dark and search the room for your phone to unplug it and plug it back in and then try to get some sleep.”

“Did you get some sleep?”

“I did.”

“Well I didn’t get any sleep and so now you will be paying for that for the rest of your natural life.”

Well, at least until the end of the day.

This Tale of Tuxedo is from September 2010 and is entitled “Someone Has it Easy On Caturday...”

"While Carlos and I cleaned house and reorganized a closet … yes, we are that much fun....someone else took a snooze.

Lucky."

Oy, the punim on that cat!

Well, Suri Cruise has officially severed ties with her estranged dad, Tom Cruise, by officially changing her last name from Cruise to Noelle.

$$$cientology; destroying families everywhere.

Last week the Department of Defense released the names of the 18 servicemembers killed since the start of Cankles War for Profit and DUI Pete’s War for Ego. 

But then without a word the names of Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, Pvt. Isabella González, 19, Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30,  and Sgt. Ángel Rampersad, 28, were removed from the list of dead Americans because according to the Regime, since they died during a ceasefire their deaths are not war casualties.

Say their goddamned names. They died for this country!

Sophie Cunningham, basketball player, is the latest athlete to step up against trans women in sports saying she wants to protect children but, um, Sophie, you ignorant fool?

The NCAA president has said there are fewer than 10 openly transgender athletes out of 510,000 athletes yet this dominates headline.

Sophie and the rest of her ick, I mean, ilk might best want to stand up for the women and girls raped by the president and his friendly pedophile buddy.

The thoughts that cross my mind as sleep … we all know cats have excellent night vision; they can leap to the tops of closet shelves, climb atop a bookcase, roam the house all night long so …

Why do they step on my face in the middle of the night?

Cuz it’s a choice, right Rosita?

PS The look on Rosie's face clearly says, "Keep coming for me, buddy, and you'll find out what I step in right before walking across your face!"

In another shameless display of GOP and MAGAt hypocrisy and goose-stepping for their cult leader, think back in recent history when the Cult went mad that NYC had elected a Muslim mayor just 25 years after 9/11 and now they are literally handing nuclear weapons to Saudi Arabia, the country that raised the 9/11 attackers because Cankles got paid by the Saudis.

In all honesty I don’t think they’re declaring Mitch McConnel dead because he doesn’t have an unqualified sister to replace him.

Hubert Kacprowicz is a lot of things ... actor ... Biomedical engineer ... and Renaissance man; he's also blond, blue-eyed and tall, so Would You Hit It?

Ain't That America XXX ... or Triple X-rated Thanks To Kid Rock

Another week and the upside is that no Americans were murdered by the ICEstapo, even though we have a few hours left in the weekend. But still it’s been a week of grifter and tax dodging, and billionaires getting rich while the rest of us pay their share of taxes and higher prices for nearly everything, and of the so-called president proving yet against that he is a blatant racist.

Oh America …

Over there in Milan, after getting booed at the opening Ceremonies of the Olympic, JD Vance found another way to piss people off … JD Vance’s nearly forty car motorcade Milan delayed multiple athletes and staff heading to their events; Team USA figure skater Alysa Liu was among those caught in the disruption, as the athlete nearly missed her skate after the vice president’s oversized convoy blocked access to the Milano skating venue.

Seriously, can anyone tell me what JD does during his time in office other than vacationing and getting booed?

And why forty cars? How many love seats does a CouchFucker need?

 

Cankles is renovating the Kennedy Center to the tune of $200 million at a time when the economy is in the toilet and people cannot buy food or healthcare or heat. Of course, since no one wants to perform there and acts keep cancelling now would be a good time for a refresh. But do we really need another gold-plated tribute to the Fat Bastard’s ego?

That was a rhetorical question.

 

Remember when the GOP swore that the Democrats would take your guns? Well, in another case of Every GOP Accusation Is An Admission, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Box Wine Pirro has vowed to arrest anyone who comes into DC  with a gun, regardless of whether or not you have a license in another district or are a law-abiding gun owner somewhere else.

 

One of Cankles’ lap dogs, Secretary of the Navy John Phelan, has been named on a flight manifest found among millions of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein showing that he flew in 2006 from London to New York on Epstein’s private plane.

Pedophiles stick together.

 

An overtly racist video clip of the Barack and Michelle Obama was posted on Cankles’ Truth Social. The clip, which portrayed the Obamas as apes, used a centuries-old trope against the first Black president and first lady in U.S. history during the first week of Black History Month.

The White first blamed a staffer, suggesting that Cankles doesn’t do his own posting, but that was denied. And the good “christian” KKKarolyin’ Leavitt dismissed criticism of the video as “fake outrage.”

Racism is fake outrage? I guess, perhaps yes, to racists, like Leavitt who also said:

“This is from an internet meme video depicting [Cankles] as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from [T]he Lion King.”

Let’s be clear … Cankles is a racist fuck; he lobbied to have five young Black men executed for a crime he did not commit; he was found guilty of refusing to rent his apartments to people of color;  he suggested Barack Obama is not an American, though Cankles himself has been married to two immigrants, both arriving here illegally.

When they show you who they are the first time, believe them.

 

The NYC Health Department announced that it has joined the World Health Organization’s [WHO] Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network [GOARN], becoming the first municipal health department in the United States to join this worldwide network of public health organizations after the U.S. withdrew from the WHO in January 2026.

GOARN provides international public health information and resources to control outbreaks and public health emergencies across the globe. The NYC Health Department follows California and Illinois health departments in joining GOARN.

New York will be safe, I guess, but the rest of the country? Not so much.

 

Mikey Weinstein, the president and founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said the nonprofit received reports from eight bases around the world that U.S. military members were being “pressured” to see “Melanie: From Whore House to White House.”

Cimon!!! These people put their lives at risk and now they are forced to watch this crap? Many are saying they preferred water-boarding.

 

If you wonder why Jeff Bezos shelled out $75 million to make “Melanie: From Whore House to White House”—with $40 million going directly to the Slovenian Hooker’s bank account, please note that Republicans’ tax cuts shaved billions off Amazon’s tax bill. Last year the company says it ran a $1.2 billion tax bill, down from $9 billion the previous year, even as profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion.

Huh, you make $90 billion more last year than the year before and yet your taxes go down $8 billion.

Stop trusting the GOP and for the love of the goddess stop buying from Amazon.

 

Gus Kenworthy, a freestyle skier who will compete for Team GB at the 2026 Winter Olympics after defecting from Team USA, urinated a political message in the snow:

He later admitted it was urine and I will say this about Gus: he has great penmanship, er penismanship.

 

Tennessee GOP Senator Marsha “I Don’t Own A Brush” Blackburn has urged Chief Justice John Roberts to launch an investigation into liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson because … wait for it, it’s stupid like Marsha … Brown Jackson attended the Grammy Awards last Sunday … because she had been nominated for a Grammy for narrating the audiobook version of her memoir, “Lovely One.”

Blackburn is angry that others at the awards show made anti-ICE jokes:

“While it is by no means unheard of or unusual for a Supreme Court justice to attend a public function, very rarely—if ever—have justices of our nation’s highest Court been present at an event at which attendees have amplified such far-left rhetoric.”

Fuck off, Marsha, you’re just mad Brown Jackson wrote a book and you’ve never read a book.

Oh, and on the flipside Blackburn is facing allegations that she and her campaign engaged in “flagrant violations” of federal and state law by using donations from her Senate campaign for her gubernatorial race.

Has the entire GOP turned into a bunch of grifters?

 

Franklin Graham, one of those so-called religious hacks who haven’t a fucking clue what they are talking about, released this statement about Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show:

“Like most Americans, I’ve enjoyed watching the Super Bowl. But the halftime shows began pushing moral boundaries and have become more and more sexualized. This year, they’re having Bad Bunny perform. The NFL leadership is pushing this sexualized agenda. Thank you, TPUSA and Erika Kirk for providing an alternative—The All-American Halftime Show with the agenda of celebrating family, faith, and freedom!”

Graham’s complaint comes one day after critics resurfaced the lyrics to a Kid Rock song entitled, “Balls In Your Mouth” … I will give you the first few lines of this All-American Classic:

Cruising through town in my jacked up truck
Eyes open ’cause I’m scopin for a big butt slut
One that I can take straight back to my house
And have suck my dick and put my balls in her mouth

Graham is naturally getting slaughtered on social media for being an utter asshat.

Y’all know what to do; when they come for Free Speech and the Free Press, when they show themselves to be racist and misogynistic, when you see the grift right before your eyes, trust that it’s true and vote them all out …
