I sing all the time around the house, often driving Carlos insane … like the other morning when I did my full rendition of ‘America’ from West Side Story as I came out of the shower. But … Carlos, too, will sing a showtune every so often, like the other morning when he gave me a version of ‘Climb Every Mountain,’ with special lyrics interpreted, and an overdone vibrato, by …. Carlos:

Climb every mountain
Search everywhe-e-e-e-e-ere
Follow every highway
Everywhere you go-o-o-o-o-o

Climb every mountain
Follow every stre-e-e-e-e-eam
Follow every rainbow
'Till you find your dre-e-e-e-e-am

A dream that will need
All the love in your hea-a-a-art
Every day of your life
For your whole life lo-o-o-o-ng

Climb every mounta-a-a-a-in
Follow every stream
Look for the rainbow
'Till you find your pla-a-a-a-ce

He only stopped when  Tuxedo and Consuelo abandoned their breakfast and fled to a spot under the guestroom bed.

And of course I believe him because he’s never once lied to anyone, anywhere, ever, right? Right?

Rudy Giuliani doesn’t want to appear before a judge in that Georgia case of election interference and now says he cannot fly because of doctor’s orders, so Fulton County Deputy District Attorney Will Wooten called his bluff, and said:

“We expect to see your client before the grand jury … here in Atlanta. We will provide alternate transportation including bus or train if your client maintains that he is unable to fly.”

Rudy on a bus!!! I’m dying! Cuz there's no Bar Car!

Minor league pitcher Solomon Bates has come out as gay, making him the second minor league baseball player to publicly come out, after David Denson did so in 2015.

“I haven’t been out as my complete self because I’ve been hiding myself. I’m a masculine man who loves the sport of baseball, and now I want to open up doors for gay athletes like me.”

Bates has been out to his teammates since 2019, but Welcome Out Solomon, and please accept as our gift the Official Coming out Toaster Oven and a copy of The Gay Agenda.

Welcome out.

The white man—I won’t say his name—who murdered Ahmaud Arbery after chasing him down the street because he was running says he fears he will be killed by fellow inmates if he's sent to a state prison to serve a life sentence for murder.

Maybe you should have thought about that before you grabbed a couple of friends and some shotguns and went out to kill someone.

Remember when Donald J. Traitor said, “only the mob pleads the Fifth”? Well, that’s exactly what he did when questioned by the New York state attorney general yesterday … cuz he’s a criminal.

In Australia, Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews turned several Melbourne landmarks—including Flinders Street Station, Melbourne Cricket Ground and the Arts Centre –pink as an acknowledgement of Olivia Newton-John’s “enormous contribution” to the state:

“Tonight, landmarks across our city will be lit up pink to remember Olivia Newton-John, and her enormous contribution to cancer awareness, research and treatment. She took her cancer journey and used that to save lives and change lives, and that’s just a deeply impressive thing.”

RIP ONJ

Y’all know I’m a slave to fashion ::::cough:::: but I ain’t no slave to ridiculous. Amirite, Balenciaga?

You may remember that Balenciaga has done some weird shiz before, like the … clutch your pearls, Maddie … Croc stilettos or the bootleg Ikea bag and then charged thousands of dollars for them. Well, now they have made a calfskin handbag that looks like a trash bag, and they call the “Trash Pouch” and charge $1790.00 for it!

And don’t tell me that your brain, like mine, right after it processed “Balenciaga” and “Trash Pouch,” didn’t instantly head to Kim Kardastrophe, because that fashion victim already owns the nearly $2000.00 trash bag.

Jokes on her because I buy mine in bulk …

Beyoncé has new music out and, as usual, to me, it’s the same crap sung in a newer sequined onesie and with more fans in the weave.

I heard one song, don’t ask the name because I didn’t pay attention as the lyrics were so mind-numbingly insipid, where she sings a line, then repeats it four times; she sings another line, and repeats it four times; she then sings two lines, and starts over with the first line, repeated four times … and so on.

I got ♫♪Wheels on the bus go round and round ♪♫ from it.

PS Yes, that’s ugly Beyoncé up there, but it’s also the face I make when I have to hear her sing or see her perform.

This is model, dancer, and out gay man from London, Sam Salter. He starred in Matthew Bourne’s all-male production of Swan Lake, and is quite bendy, but the question is: Would You Hit It?

Inch by inch, step by step, slowly they turned....

The city council of Boise, Idaho has unanimously approved sweeping protections for LGBT residents. Starting in January 2013, no one in Boise can be discriminated against for their job, housing, or at local businesses because of their sexual orientation. There are exceptions made in the law for some private organizations, and religious institutions.

The passing of the ordinance brought a standing ovation from the packed auditorium of supporters in the audience and activists say they are now working towards a statewide bill.
That may be an uphill climb as state lawmakers have continued to vote for discrimination and against LGBT protections.

Oh dear....

The Hollywood casting machine is at it again.

First we had Lohan as Liz Taylor and now this: 

Carrie Underwood will be playing Maria in NBC's live broadcast of The Sound of Music.

Carrie.Underwood.

Now, don't get me wrong, I like some Carrie every now and again, but if you want someone to play the role of Maria--made famous and indelible by Julie Andrews for goddess; sake--couldn't there have been a better choice?

Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, who produce Smash, and NBC, released a statement:

"Speaking for everyone at NBC, we couldn't be happier to have the gifted Carrie Underwood take up the mantle of the great Maria von Trapp. She was an iconic woman who will now be played by an iconic artist.”

All I could think was "Jesus Take The Wheel."
All I could think was "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria" sung to the tune of "Before He Cheats".

I don't watch Person of Interest; I just never got into it....or, I’ve never even heard of it. But I love the idea that those wacky One Million Moms [OMM] are super-peeved that a lesbian couple ::::gasp:::: is on the show.

Dr. McDreamy say what?

In a letter to Joe.My.God. Monica Coles, of the OMM, says:

"Dear Joe, One Million Moms is disappointed that CBS and Warner Brothers turned Person of Interest into a politically correct machine. In mid-November, an episode aired that went way too far in an attempt to normalize homosexuality when creator and producer, J.J. Abrams, decided to introduce a married lesbian couple. Viewers find out the female heart surgeon's spouse is actually another woman. They treated this immoral relationship just like any other married couple. Clearly this is a way of promoting the homosexual agenda by making it appear absolutely normal. TAKE ACTION: Let them know that they do not need to follow the trend in normalizing homosexuality, or they will lose a majority of their viewers that tuned in for clean entertainment that did not push any certain agenda."

Normal? Lesbian marriages are normal? What's next? Same-sex marriage in Washington, Maryland and Maine?

Uh huh.

To paraphrase a show that, when it started was cute, then faded into boring, and now seems to have found a niche, it's The New Normal.

I am not a fan of Beyoncé.

There. I said it. 
I mean, I understand her popularity, but it isn't exactly my cup of tea, but this latest news just reinforces my opinion of Missus Z.

See, Beyoncé decided to make her directorial debut when filming a documentary about her favorite topic for HBO.

Beyoncé directs Beyoncé in the Beyoncé Story.

And, apparently, a team of tiny men follow her around holding her big head atop her shoulders and working her wind machine.

And speaking of big heads, Mister Beyoncé, Jay Z, was giving a concert in Brooklyn recently, and decided to prove he is just regular people by taking the subway to the concert.

With his entourage and a film crew.

Yeah, those two are regular people.

Okay, why does this sound familiar?

It seems that a mysterious trip out of state has caused Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to shirk her duties to certify election ballots, and nobody knows where she is.

Uh oh. Shades of former South Carolina Governor and adulterer, Mark Sanford's mysterious hiking the Appalachian Trail trip that was really a booty call to Rio.

Brewer spokesman Matthew Benson said that Brewer was unavailable to participate in the general election canvass last week because she was out of the state on official business, and "That is all I can disclose at this time."

He later reiterated that during a brief phone interview saying he could not respond to several questions about Brewer's whereabouts. The governor would be gone Sunday morning to Saturday afternoon.

Hiking, perhaps?

Or maybe just getting some education. See, before she disappeared, Brewer was asked about global warming being the result of mankind's pollution of the planet and she muttered something about weather being caused by changes in the weather.

So, I'm hoping she's out getting an education, because she really needs it.

This is from JMG who got it from BosGuy.

I think it's high-larious, though I'd never need it ..........

I have hardwood floors.

If you get my meaning.

I hate to judge .....
Hold on, giggle break.
.... but, sometimes I think if celebrities are gonna go all Botox-y and Hair Club For Men, they should just go away and stay away so we can remember them as they were.
I mean, ONJ's face is pulled tighter than Star Jones in, well, anything, and Groper Travolta's toupee looks like an old-timey football helmet.
It's.Enough.
