GOP Dumpster Fire: Liars, Racists, Anti-LGBTQ+, Anti-Women ...

There’s an old saying about when someone shows you who they are, believe them; and when someone says something, openly and publicly, believe that, too, and not the spin machine that envelopes the liar afterwards.

Here are a few examples of liars, and morons, and weirdos showing us who they are …

Florida’s official tourism website quietly removed a landing page for the state’s LGBTQ-friendly travel destinations sometime in the past four months. The website—VisitFlorida.com—used to have an LGBTQ+ Travel section that no longer exists.

If Florida doesn’t want The Gays then perhaps The Gays need to get out of Florida or vote out these asshats trying to erase us.

Speaking of tourism of the ass-kissing type, with glitzy Mar-a-Lago fundraisers, stays at The Felon’s hotels, and flights on The Felon’s private jet, GOP candidates and political groups are on track to spend more on The Felon’s businesses this year than any year since 2016.

It’s clearly an attempt to stay on the racist, rapist, traitor, con artist, sexual predator’s good side … by that I mean the ass they kiss.

Maria Bartiromo from Fox Not News But Entertainment Because they Lie recently posted Xwitter:

“Friend of mine’s wife had to take her 16-year-old son to the DMV this week for a new license. Couldn’t get an online appointment(all full) so went in person and had to go to 3 DMVs to get something done. First DMV was in Weatherford. Had a massive line of immigrants getting licenses and had a tent and table outside the front door of the DMV registering them to vote!”

Funny then that Sgt. William Lockridge, a spokesperson for the Texas Department of Public Safety, says Bartiromo’s statement was “simply false” or, in real speak, a lie. Contrary to Bartiromo’s friend’s wife’s cousin’s sister’s nephew’s doctor’s daughter’s teacher there is no office for the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles in Weatherford; people get licenses at a DPS Driver License office who had no such tent set up.

Maria Bartiromo is a liar who has repeated this lie three times on air without once trying to verify it with Texas officials.

Not even a week after telling the crowd at a North Carolina rally that Kamala Harris was copying him, The Felon’s campaign spokesperson released a video of him deboarding his plane using Harris’ campaign song, Beyoncé’s “Freedom.”

Beyoncé gave Harris permission to use the song from her album 2016 album Lemonade, at the end of last month. Since then Harris’ campaign has put it to use every chance it gets, from her first campaign ad to her dramatic entrance at the DNC Monday night.

Almost as soon as The Felon used her music, though, Beyoncé's people issued a cease and desist to The Felon.

Republican presidential nominee and certifiable moronic uneducated racist, The Felon, is questioning if Democrats know where Vice President Kamala Harris “came from.”

Birtherism 2.0.

Of course he’s used this racist bull shiz on former President Barack Obama and women of color in Congress.

When trying to debunk allegations of weirdness in your little cult, maybe you shouldn’t carry around cups of imaginary semen.

Seems like common sense, but supporters of JD Vance, outraged at Democrats for characterizing their favored candidate as a social misfit who fucks couches, have taken to honoring his sperm and have begun carrying JD Vance’s “Full Family Kit” AKA JD Jizz in an apparent nod to his fertility.

The MAGA movement’s embrace of JD’s Jizz seems to be a reference to Vance’s idiotic remarks about “childless cat ladies” and people who don’t have children.

Attorney Mike Davis, one of The Felon’s rumored attorney general candidates, is threatening lawsuits for anyone who calls the ex-president a convicted felon, writing on X:

“Dear Media and Other Democrat Operatives: Fair warning: Calling [him] a ‘convicted felon’ is defamatory. You may get sued.”

Now, I will have to use his name to make my point … sorry in advance: Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felonies making him a felon. In simpler terms:

Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a felon. 

Done.

Governor Kristi Noem’s administration recently turned down more than $70 million of federal funds from energy efficiency and environmental programs.

The Home Energy Rebates program would have provided the state with $69 million to give South Dakotans rebates for energy-efficient home retrofits and high-efficiency electric appliances resulting in estimated consumer cost savings of $9,027 per South Dakota home.

But the DogKiller said No because it was from Democrats.

Brown-Forman—makers of Jack Daniel’s, Chambord, Herradura, Korbel, Woodford Reserve, and Old Forester—has scrapped its diversity and inclusion policies and ended its participation in an LGBTQ corporate equality index.

An email sent out by Brown-Forman’s executive leadership team said it was making changes to its policies to “account for the ever-changing landscape” and the company removed its diversity and inclusion policies from its website.

I smell a boycott.

At a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania The Felon said Kamala Harris replacing Joe Biden “was a coup of a president. This was a coup.”

Since, again, this illiterate gelatinous mess is a moron, so I’ll explain it to him: a coup d'état, or simply a coup, is typically an illegal and overt attempt by a military organization or other government elites to unseat an incumbent leadership.

Joe.Biden.Is.Still.The.President. He.Has.Not.Been.Unseated.

No coup.

Sofa Loren AKA JD Vance has evaded multiple questions about whether The Felon’s proposed “zero tolerance” policy on immigration would lead to family separation.

After telling NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that before imposing mass deportations, The Felon would need to “stop the bleeding” moderator Kristen Welker asked if The Felon’s plan would include family separation and Sofa,, er, JD said:

“I think that families are currently being separated. You’re certainly going to have to deport some people in this country.”

It’s like this: when they dodge a question it’s because they’re lying. Of course they’re going to separate families.

Former Michigan Republican Party co-chair Meshawn Maddock was called out over the weekend for using a homophobic slur to describe an openly gay political opponent, Jason Morgan, Michigan Democratic Party Vice Chair and is a member of the Michigan DNC, after Jason posted this to Xwitter:

"Michigan Congressional delegation in the House."

And Maddock replied:

“Fags and hags."

Morgan responded to the comment :

"Former [Michigan Republican Party] Chair and advisor to [The Felon]’s 2024 campaign, just called me a fag. As a proud gay man who loves his husband, these hateful taunts don’t undermine my Pride, but to countless LGBTQ young people across the USA, hateful rhetoric can lead to depression and suicide. On behalf of those LGBTQ Kids … Let’s stand up to bullies! Contribute to keep me and other LGBTQ leaders in office, no matter how triggered Meshawn gets."

Meshawn Maddock has yet to respond or apologize because she’s a bigot.

Hulk Hogan—real name Terry Bollea—wrestler, at an event in Ohio to promote his new Real American Beer asked a crowd of supporters if he should “body-slam” Kamala Harris.

Battering women; always good for a joke if you’re Republican. But then he takes it a step further, playing off The Felon’s inherent racism, asking the crowd:

“Is Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian?”

The he raised his left hand and said:

“How.”

Now, because he looks like a racist abuser, Terry Bollea is blaming his comments on one too many beers when in reality—even though wrestling is fake—it was one too many folding chairs to the head.

At a Felon Rally last week in Arizona certified loon Kari Lake spoke just before The Felon took the stage rambling on about how the country needed to be saved from a “thousand years of darkness” and that The Felon is “the only person who can lead us out of this nightmare and restore the American dream.”

The best part is that, as she spoke, a teleprompter posted a message to Lake from The Felon campaign:

“Please get off stage.”

And when The Felon waddled onstage he said:

“I was going to say, come on, Kari, speak, but she just spoke for half an hour. What the hell.”

I’ve a message for you both: Please get off the stage.

Once again Sofa Loren, AKA Sen. JD Vance, tried to mansplain what The Felon says; This time Vance says The Felon would veto a federal abortion ban if a bill were to be passed by Congress.

Really, Sofa? I mean, the man Made it a point of telling people if he was elected he’d appoint pro-Life justices to the court and then he did that; and then when the court overturned Roe he said, and I’ll paraphrase: “I did that!”

And you want us to believe that because he says he’d veto an abortion ban he will? You really are as stupid as you look.

Bryant Rosado was introduced as an undecided voter during a CNN segment following Kamala Harris’ speech at the Democratic National Convention gave it a “C” while the other seven panelists rated it either an “A” or a “B”.

Rosado confirmed he wasn’t ready to vote for Kamala Harris but moments later said he was pro-The Felon. The Felon’s campaign quickly seized upon Rosado’s comments, using them as an attack on Kamala Harris but then it was revealed that ::::gasp::: Bryant Rosado was a MAGAt liar who posts pro-Felon and pro-MAGAt shiz all over social media.

Oklahoma’s Bixby school district has lots to be proud of: a state-of-the-art new high school set to open by 2025, a new ninth grade gymnasium and plans for a $12 million upgrade to a football complex that already rivals that of many small colleges.

But what the district does not have, and will not have, as students returned last week is a Bible in every classroom—despite a statewide mandate from Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s education chief to incorporate Bible lessons and promises of repercussions for those that don’t comply.

Bixby Superintendent Rob Miller said:

“If there is no curricular standard that ties with that particular classroom, what would be the purpose of a Bible if not for pure indoctrination?”

Oklahoma schools are taking a stand.

And even the state GOP has threatened to impeach Walters for refusing to account for his spending, which has included multiple out of state trips to appear at Christian nationalist and pro-Trump events.

Fox News unceremoniously ended an interview with The Felon while he was in mid-rant following the DNC.

He had called into the network after his rival Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech, and after about 10 minutes of studiously listening to his complaints and exclamations, the hosts wrapped things up rather abruptly.

Even Fox is tired of his nonsense.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign has raised $540 million since it launched last month, including a surge bolstered by the DNC, a total that amounts to “a record for any campaign in history.”

The campaign raised $82 million during the convention last week, with the best hour coming after Harris’ acceptance speech.

A third of the week’s donations were from first-time contributors and two-thirds of the first-time donors were women.

Remember, this is a party that promises but never delivers, a party of demented old men, and mascara-wearing RuPaul wannabes who hate women, the  LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, education and members of our military.

We don't need that so ...

Bobservations

Not really a Carlos story, though he was there … the other night we were out dinner in Camden, and a party of ten was seated nearby. Their server came over and was chatting with the group, a family, and asked if it was a special occasion. One man at the head of the table said:

“Our mother’s getting married tomorrow.”

“Oh, congratulations, that should be so much fun.”

Silence, until the man said:

“Our mother’s getting ‘buried’ tomorrow.”

Ouch.

Put me, and clearly Tuxedo, too, in the group that doesn’t care when or why you said the n-word and I still think you should apologize for it.

Inside That censure nonsense the Republican National Committee [RNC] put out this week calling January 6th a “legitimate political discourse” continues to taint the party … especially given this:

The resolution, drafted by David Bossie a longtime Thing 45 lapdog, started out as an effort to expel Cheney and Kinzinger from the House Republican Conference. But an early draft condemned the two representatives for participating in “a Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in nonviolent and legal political discourse.”

Nonviolent. People died. Property damaged. Nonviolent.

Mary Margaret Kreuper, an 80-year-old nun, has been sentenced to a year in prison after she confessed to stealing more than $800,000 from the elementary school where she worked as principal for twenty-eight to fund her gambling trips to Las Vegas.

Kreuper must also pay $825,338 in restitution.

I guess what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas if you’re an embezzling nun?

I love music from days gone by, and still remember some of the oldies my mother and father used to play. And so when I hear them now, I instantly know who’s singing, and people seemed stunned I know it; like this:

“Oh, that’s Vikki Carr singing, ‘It Must be him’.”

“How do you know that?”

I then stand on my right foot, bend at the waist and put my left leg straight out behind me, spreading my arms out wide from my side and say:

“I used to skate my long program to this.”

And If I did, I wore this …

Earlier this week we talked about that Rotterdam bridge being dismantled so Jeff Bezos can sail his mega-yacht and miniscule dick under to reach the open sea.

Thanks to reader Marcia la Rue, I learned that Dutch preservationists have said they will pummel the superyacht with rotten eggs if the city of Rotterdam follows through with plans to dismantle a section of that 140-year-old bridge.

It’s almost worth the flight to be able to hurl a rotten egg at Jeff Bezos’ boat ego.

Don't bother walking a mile in my shoes because, to be honest, that would be boring. If you want a true Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride spend 30 seconds in my head. That'll freak you right out.

Arizona’s top House Republican, Speaker Rusty Bowers, is overturning legislation that would have given state lawmakers the power to reject election results.

Toi be fair, Bowers is not killing House Bill 2596, which he could do simply by refusing to assign it to any committee to be considered. Instead, he is assigning the proposal to each and every one of the 12 House committees, because he knows the bill cannot secure approval of each.

This is what people in certain states have to go through to protect elections from other Republicans who want to be able to deny the results of an election simply because they don’t like the outcome.

Arizona? Stand with Bowers and vote out the traitors who would change your vote if it doesn’t go their way.

The other day a client came into our office and as I was talking with her about her project, she told me that I had a beautiful head of hair. And because my brain always goes ‘there’ I said to her:

“Thank you. It’s 100% recycled plastic water bottles.”

Sadly, I think she bought it.

This is Ben Bowers, no relation to Rusty from Arizona; he's a model, actor, hot guy walking. I know nothing more, except that he looks good in a Speedo, but I still ask: Would You Hit It?

Hobby Lobby Buys Stolen Goods, Funds Terrorism, All For The Bible

Oops! “Good Christian” arts-and-crafts company Hobby Lobby has been caught smuggling priceless black market Iraqi artifacts into this country for its ... wait for it, like the artifacts, its priceless ... Bible museum. And now Hobby Lobby must pay $3 million in fines, and turn over the stolen goods, to settle a federal case.

In a statement, Hobby Lobby President Steve Green acknowledged "regrettable mistakes":

"We should have exercised more oversight and carefully questioned how the acquisitions were handled."

I guess they didn’t think buying these religious items from some dude in an overcoat who dragged them from the trunk of his car in Alphabet City wasn’t clue enough? I kid; Hobby Lobby went to the Middle East to steal these things.

Green says Hobby Lobby fully cooperated with the investigation ... after they were caught illegally buying these items.

In 2009, Hobby Lobby—best known for its Supreme Court victory in a 2014 religious freedom case over banning their insured employees from using their insurance for contraception—decided to amass a collection of books and artifacts "consistent with the Company’s mission and passion for the Bible" to place in a Bible museum they bankrolled to the tune of $500 million. So they illegally purchased some of their Biblical memorabilia when Green and a consultant traveled to the United Arab Emirates to inspect cuneiform tablets that were thousands of years old, along with engraved seals and the clay impressions they made; Green purchased the looted items for some $1.6 million.

And, you know, most if not all of that wound up in the hands of ISIS, who has received hundreds of millions of dollars annually in funding from selling stolen antiques like the ones acquired by Hobby Lobby on the black market.

Hobby Lobby Funds Terrorism. How’s that for the headline?

According to the civil complaint, an expert, hired by Hobby Lobby, warned Green that there was a risk the items it wanted to buy had been looted; that expert told Green to make sure the country of origin was properly labeled on customs forms. Instead, Green shipped the 5,500 artifacts without proper documentation, with labels describing them as "ceramic tiles" or "samples" from Turkey or Israel.

And Hobby Lobby never even paid the dealer who supposedly owned the items, but instead wired $1.6 million in payments to seven other individuals. So, clearly, they knew they were buying stolen goods, but hey, it’s for a Bible museum so God will not have a problem with it, right?

Green maintains that Hobby Lobby didn't know the items were from Iraq ... but, again, why lie about what they were and where they were from ... and has vowed to put safeguards in place to ensure future acquisitions are properly vetted... so they don’t get caught lying, cheating, and stealing again.

Oh, Hobby Lobby, what would Jesus do with you?

Holy Water Glass, Batman, Even Democrats Can Be Idiots

Bob Brady, a devout Catholic and Democrat Congressman from Pennsylvania, was only too happy to hear the Pope speak before Congress last week, and only too happy, once the Pontiff stopped pontificating, to break one of the Ten Commandments.

Thou Shalt Not Steal

After Pope Francis finished speaking Brady walked to the podium and stole the Pope’s water glass, still holding Pope Frankie water.

He then, yes, drank some of the water, gave some to his wife and saved the rest for his grandchildren so he can sprinkle it on them. We know this because he asked his staff to photograph him drinking the Pope’s back wash and send the photos out on the web and to the press. He also poured the water into the mouths of others, but wouldn’t let them touch the glass because stealing it, and drinking from it, was his prize only.

But this isn’t the first time he’s acted the fool. He saved a water glass that President Obama had sipped from during his inauguration speech, though he did not drink from it; he did, however, as he did this week with Frankie’s Holy Water Glass, have Obama’s glass dusted for fingerprints to make sure it was the real deal.

Maybe Brady should have his head checked … and his health too, because, while I know it's the Pope, you still never know where his mouth has been.

Today In Alleged Christianity: The Pastor Is A Thief

Up there in Kingsport, Tennessee, Boyd Watson Holder Jr., the pastor at Victory Apostolic Church was charged with stealing some $60,000 from the church bank account for his own personal use …

It was earlier this year when members of the congregation began to suspect Holder—who has been their pastor since 2010—of embezzling from the bank account; they now say that between $70,000 and $100,000 is missing from the account, and that the disappearing cash occurred solely during Holder's tenure, while he was the only person with access to the funds.

When questioned about the money by church members, Holder responded, "It is none of your business."

Lyle Kincheloe, a former board member of the church, says he was "kicked out" of the church — along with several other congregational leaders — when they confronted Holder about missing funds:

"We went on a Wednesday night to hold a meeting to dismiss him. We even had two Kingsport detectives with us. He told us he had done no wrong, we couldn't do this and couldn't have no meeting — so forth and so on."

Oops. That didn’t sit well with the congregation, who notified local police, who launched an investigation into the bank records of both Holder and the church. The findings of that investigation were presented to the grand jury this week, and Holder was indicted for theft of more than $60,000 and money laundering; Kingsport police, citing the ongoing investigation, declined to specify the exact amount of money believed to have been stolen from the church, or what Holder did with the funds.

But, along with the claims of stolen money, Pastor Holder has had two other run-ins with law enforcement over the last six months, and both are linked to his church.

On February 15, 2015 a man told police that when he visited the church to worship, Pastor Holder ordered him to leave, saying the man "was not there for the right reasons." The man refused, saying he was there for the service, and then Holder allegedly "grabbed him by his belt and attempted to lift him out of the pew." Other members of the church stepped in and politely told the man to go, and he did, though he then called police to report the incident.

An earlier incident, back in December 2014, is even more telling: on the afternoon of December 15, an officer observed a large, white passenger van in the rear parking lot of a vacant building. Upon checking the vehicle, the officer found two men engaged in sex acts; one of the men was Pastor Holder., who apologized to the officers and told them the van belonged to the church. The officer told the men not to "have relations in public," then ordered that they leave the property and not return.

Oh, Pastor. Violence; sex in a van; embezzling. God would be so proud of you.

Sidenote: Lyle Kincheloe cautions the public from pointing to Holder's arrest, then using it to paint the religious community with a broad stroke:

"This is an isolated thing. Not all churches are like this. Not all pastors are like this."

Now, that’s true, but it does seem that a lot of men become pastors, and use their churches, and the funds of those churches, for their own personal business, and at all in the name of faith.

Random Musings

Since becoming husband-and-husband, I’ve found renewed joy in my life with Carlos because, well, I get to gaslight him all the time now!

Like the day I was home and he called to say he was running late, and I acted as though I couldn’t hear him.

Then, when he got home, and I asked why he was late and hadn’t called, he said he had. I said he didn’t; he said he did. It went on like that for a couple of m minutes before he whipped out his phone and called the house phone because he wanted to check if it was working.

And I laughed, telling him that I was gas-lighting him.

Like the time he said he had to go to Lancaster for work, then to Cassatt, and then back to Camden. He called to tell me he was back in Camden and I asked what he meant by that.

Carlos: I told you I was going to Lancaster.

Bob: No, you didn’t.

Carlos: Yes, I did.

Bob: No, you said you were going to Cassatt and then back home.

Carlos: I did go to Cassatt.

Bob: You went to Cassatt? Why didn’t you tell me?

Gaslight. Not that there’s a huge sum of money I’ll come into when I have Carlos declared mentally unstable; I’m just doing it for fun.

"I, Darren Wilson, hereby resign my commission as a police officer with the City of Ferguson effective immediately. I have been told that my continued employment may put the residents and police officers of the City of Ferguson at risk, which is a circumstance that I cannot allow. For obvious reasons, I wanted to wait until the grand jury made their decision before I officially made my decision to resign. It was my hope to continue in police work, but the safety of other police officers and the community are of paramount importance to me. It is my hope that my resignation will allow the community to heal. I would like to thank all of my supporters and fellow officers throughout this process."

Good.Bye. And I hope we never hear from you again.

Tony Dungy, the former NFL coach-turned-NBC analyst who said he wouldn't have drafted Michael Sam because he wouldn't want to "deal with all of it" — meaning the media attention — said this week that he would welcome wife-beater Ray Rice onto a team.

So, you can beat up a woman and still be an NFL star but you can’t be gay.

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson yesterday petitioned the Fourth Circuit Court, asking that they not rule on his marriage appeal until the Supreme Court issues on a decision on the cases out of Sixth Circuit. Wilson, like his counterparts in several other states, is desperately trying to keep his case alive so that marriage equality can be undone should SCOTUS rule negatively.

Although he’s wasting taxpayer money and doesn’t seem to realize that South Carolina is not bound by decisions of the Sixth Circuit Court.

Seriously, Alan, give up. The Queers have landed legally married in South Carolina!

Back in the olden days — well, late last century — it was always a bit surprising to see interracial couples on scripted TV shows. Not surprising to see them in real life, mind you, but TV always seems to lag behind the real word. I still remember the shock of the Willis’ on The Jefferson’s back in the day.

So, imagine my surprise when two new shows — NBC’s Marry Me and Bravo’s first scripted show The Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce — each featured an interracial couple.

And a gay one, to boot — clockwise from top left: Dan Bucatinsky and Tim Meadows from Marry Me, and Patrick Heusinger and J. August Richards from GG2D.

A friend posted this thing on Facebook that you should Google your first name and the word ‘meme’ following. Then go to images and post the first image that comes up.

That one, up there, was the first image that came up, but that — down there — was Number Four and, I felt, far funnier and more apropos.

So, let me get this white: in America you can be shot to death for stealing cigarillos from a store in Missouri, and you can be choked to death for selling “loosies” — single cigarettes — on Staten Island?

Oh, only if you’re Black in America.

AT&T U-verse had a Free HBO weekend over Thanksgiving and so I recorded all the episodes of The Leftovers, which is based on a book I’d read last year about a Rapture-like disappearance of 2% of the world’s population.

Good book, but the show features one Justin Theroux, an ISBL hottie, and star of a Would You Hit It post. Justin appears shirtless, pants-less and nude.

Bob is intrigued.

Down in Houston, two teenage carjackers were met with a wee surprise when trying to steal a car: a stick shift.

The two morons held the motorist at gunpoint trying to take his car, and then demanded that he tell them how to drive it. After the driver provided a few instructions, the teens ordered him out of the vehicle, drove off, probably riding the clutch all the way, and the driver called the police.

Both morons were arrested for carjacking and stupidity.

Speaking of Texas, county clerks in Fort Worth and Houston say they won't issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples even if a federal judge lifts his stay of a ruling striking down Texas' marriage bans.

Bob says you should then be fired for not doing your jobs, and then you can whine about how, while not following the law, and denying Gays the legal right to marry, your own rights were trampled on.

Then you can STFU.

I stopped by Blobby’s Blog this week — on World AIDS Day — and he had written a post and then ended it with a Rosanne Cash song, “I Want A Cure” as a way of tribute.

And that little moment triggered the song that’s been playing on a loop in my head for the week. The song, “Tennessee Flat-Top Box” was one from Rosanne’s childhood — she remembered it being sung to her as a lullaby — and she longed to record it. When she did she found out that old lullaby had been written by her late father, Johnny Cash.
