Turning the Mundane into Fundane Since 2015
Today is election day in Alabama for the Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions. The Alabama GOP and the RNC have done everything possible to replace a racist with a racist, homophobic, misogynistic, evangelical Christian alleged pedophile. Say that 3 times fast. If Alabama does send Roy Moore to the US Senate, plans can move forward with the following changes for Alabama …
Remember when Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden routinely threatened his character’s wife Alice on the old Honeymooners TV show with punching her to the moon? How times have changed.
I certainly don’t remember that. You don’t think I’m that old, do you? Although how about that Art Carney as Ed Norton? He was hilarious, or so I’m told.
Well, now Donald Trump is reviving the old Ralph Kramden trick.
It didn’t take long for Donald Trump and the RNC (Republican National Committee) to cave and re-endorse and support Alabama Republican Senate candidate and accused pedophile Roy Moore. Once they saw that Moore would not cede his candidacy to another less controversial candidate, and that the Democrats could actually win the Alabama Senate seat, Trump and the rest of the GOP (Gang Of Pedophiles?) came scurrying back to Roy Moore’s defense and more importantly, his aid financially. Well, most of the GOP did. Here’s an exception …
I saw this clip of this high school cheerleader (whoop, whoop … uh-oh, that cheerleader reference set off the Roy Moore alarm) and I have been convinced once and for all that magic is real …
This tweet from Trump actually started out good, but then …
Someone woke up grumpy.
It’s my birthday today, but nobody cares, including me. My birthday is being completely overshadowed by Flynn Flip Friday which is fine by me. I wasn’t surprised or even upset that the first (and maybe last) annual Christmas Tree lighting ceremony on my birthday eve under Trump literally drew tens of people to it …
I saw this Tweet yesterday about the White House being overrun with vermin and was initially shocked …
More and more women are coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment against celebrities, politicians and others. Bravo. I’ve been appalled hearing accounts from the female accusers of brazen sexual impropriety and outright assaults in some cases. A common theme in their stories is lots of pants-dropping by men. Here’s what I want to know …
I was up well before dawn on this Thanksgiving day. That’s not unusual, because Dawn usually likes to sleep late on holidays. I was on a mission. There was a 48″ TV on sale at 6AM at a local store for 200 bucks. Our TV is only 32″, and no, I do not feel emasculated typing that. So I was up at 5AM and getting ready to leave when I recalled this story from last night’s Rachel Maddow Show …
I’m having a hard time getting my arms around the recent allegations of sexual abuse towards nationally known politicians. I certainly support getting these out in the open, if only to make sure that this kind of behavior ends. What I’m struggling with is how to judge the seriousness of the charges.
For example, Senator Al Franken has admitted that this is him in this picture putting his hands on the breasts of Leeann Tweeden.
At the time, Franken was a comedian on a USO tour with Tweeden, obviously posing in this shot for comic effect. That does not change the fact that doing so without her consent was wrong.
But then I see this video of Tweeden introducing Robin Williams like this …
As a committed Democrat, I am thrilled that Democratic Senate candidate Doug Jones has a chance to win the Alabama Senate seat in the December special election as he goes up against accused sexual predator Roy Moore. However, as a marketing and sales professional, I am less than thrilled at the lackluster logo his campaign is using …
Of course, I have weighed-in and offered my marketing and sales acumen to the Jones campaign along with this new logo …
We know the Trump Administration is a very hands-on administration as explained by their leader …
