Summertime evening, all windows open including the kitchen window overlooking the walkway to the front door. Cinderblock half-wall edged the walk. I opened the door to water plants, et voila! We looked at each other and both (silently) screamed 'Mon DIEU!'
Thank dieu Pepe (Pepee?) didn't nail the cinderblock.
I'm old enough to remember when "JC Superstar" first appeared as a two-LP "concept" album. All the right wing faux-Christian mouth breathers were gibbering and throwing feces at it back then as "blasphemy."
SS, DD. Except now the "blasphemy" is just casting someone other than a white male in the role of a character who, if he actually existed, looked more like a Middle-East refugee than, say, Jeff Hunter.
"If Christ were here there is one thing he would not be--a Christian." - Mark Twain, "Mark Twain's Notebook"
I was in an off-Broadway performance of "Jesus Christ Superstar" in 1980, and the actors playing Judas and Jesus both publicly identified themselves as gay men of color, and nobody said a word about it. We also had a gay woman playing Herod, and nobody mentioned it. How times have changed.
Freshly back from our first-ever weekend in NYC and are trying to figure out what we did wrong. We walked all over Manhattan (both in sunlight and at night), crossed the Brooklyn Bridge on foot, and rode the subway several times, and didn't get mugged even ONCE. Who do I speak to about a refund?
In NYC right now for the first time in a decade and first time with kids! Took the subway one stop further than necessary. Oops.
Also, the must-have doll my 10 year old must-have-had-or-will-just-die was probably a knock off - bought on the sidewalk.
8 year old’s new song is “I saw boobies in Times Square” and we also saw the Sydney Sweeney ad on the mega screen. Being coastal elites who stream everything, we never would have seen it otherwise. Ho hum.
I lived in NYC for several years and got mugged just once. And they were very polite. I offered to give them my phone bill but they didn't want it. They just took all the money out of my wallet and handed it back to me, with all the other contents (including several credit cards) intact. A class act!
“Ted Cruz ought to worry about women in Texas dying of sepsis, but instead he’s beating his keyboard about New York governor Kathy Hochul covering her head at the funeral for murdered Muslim police officer Didarul Islam. (New York Times archive link)”
So does Rafael “Ted” Cruz wear a yarmulke when he visits to a Synagogue? Does Heidi wear a Mantilla when they visit a Catholic Church?
The answer to these questions is always: Fuck Rafael “Ted” Cruz!
I hope this means the end of The Mace in elective office:
"Republican Rep. Nancy Mace Launches Bid For South Carolina Governor
“We are going to ban pronouns in the classroom. I don’t want to see any glitter parties. I want kids coming home with A’s and B’s, not they and them,” she said."
It's all well and good to get the rubes all riled up with memes, but when it comes to he day-to-day stuff about their kids, they're going to want something more.
You say that, but who wants to send their kindergartener to school as a boy and they come home a girl with glitter in their pockets (and a "C" report card), huh?
2. Pirro woke up hungover today seeing she was confirmed and was like “Wow. I thought that was a drunk dream. Wtf is wrong with these people?”
3. We have several billionaires that claim to be liberals that could have saved public broadcasting and NPR with what would have amounted to a rounding error in their net worth and didn’t. Are we sure they are really liberal? Because that seemed like a gimmee.
4. Pretty sure Jack Smith did the jerk off motion gif when hearing about the investigation and was like good luck with that.
5. Please don’t see “fertilization president” again. Ewww now I said it.
6. I don’t know what “protecting men from consequences of raping girls” is in Latin but it should be on the Utah state seal.
7. Kash Patel can just flat out get it. It’s obvious you haters.
8. Ted Cruz really needs a job. Oh wait being told he is actually a Senator. Who knew?
9. Thank you James Talarico for letting us know at least one Democrat gets how this works.

Ta, Marcie. We slept in late on purpose because we are on vacation! We ate luscious fruit bowls and drank flowery green tea; in a bit we'll have toast (no avocado; we're out) and coffee. I took my vitamins and put arnica on my bruised ankle; it's healing. Good day, beloved Wonketteers. I love and appreciate you all and I bless us all with love, health, peace, and grace.
Please, please stay safe. Wear a mask or two, wash your hands, sanitize when you cannot wash and let the sanitizer dry completely, stop touching your face, take Vitamin D, get a booster shot six months after your last, and catch up on any other vaccinations you need, avoid indoor and crowded outdoor gatherings and when you must meet, remove masks only to eat, drink, and take quick photos, and stay the fuck away from me and everyone with whom you do not share a roof. Do this because you love yourself, and because I love you, too. Do this in memory of dear departed family and friends like Forever 27 Treg and heroic Tony, Holly's pilot friend, among nearly eight million dead worldwide. Do this to honor the nurses and other frontline medical personnel (we love and appreciate you, Medicos of Wonkette), particularly ICU Hera Mrs Land Shark RN. Be kind, especially to yourself, and please stay safe.

You do know a skunk bouncing on their forepaws is telling you the safety is off. And that kit is fully loaded, even at that age.
They really are cute though 😍

I have bathed 4 dogs which thought skunks were threats? Playmates?
Honestly I love skunks. Big guns. And cute 😍
Nice baby.
My baby!
I'm so glad they can nuke creatures with their stink bombs. Cuz they look so cute and cuddly, everyone would want one of their very own.
Don't care if stripey-kitten has stampy paws! Love stripey-kitten!!!!
"Permit me to introduce myself. I am Pepe Le Pew, your lover."
Stinky Kitteh!
Awwwww…I lurves little skonks, look at it stamping its little feet.
Apparently they do this little dance even as wee skonk-lets in the warning of the stink-cloud!
The time to leave it alone is when it stomps its feet.
Flower!
"MOOOOM! I really have to pee! RIGHT NOW! Mooooom!"
This small-but-opinionated skunk is expressing his displeasure...
I have immense respect for displeasured skunks...
It's amazing how a singular experience can imprint itself on the human psyche...
Some lessons stick and never have to be repeated.
Some lessons STINK and never have to be repeated.
When evening is oncoming
With shades of gathering dusk
Little skunks will venture out
With sprayers of stinky musk
To find a decent bite to eat
At ending of the day
And if they turn their backs on you
It's best to just give way.
Cute babby skunk!
Pepe!
“Look Chaiaphas, they [immigrants] are right outside our yard!”
“Quick Chaiaphas, go call the ICE guard!”
“No wait! We need a more permanent solution to our problem…”
Love, LOVE,💕😺❤️💞💖😸💜🩷💓😽...Don the Elder... Touché, in Spade's...

Candace Owens is being strangely silent about what Don. Jr's large nipples may indicate.
I can assure the GOP that investigating Jack will not be pretty. Wait until they get to discovery. That is going to be a doozy of damning information.

David Byrne was mugged in NYC and they were apparently so gentle that all he said was "uh-oh". of course, that's David Byrne.
PAB 47 on Karoline Leavitt:
“She’s become a star,” Trump told Newsmax on Friday. “It’s that face. It’s that brain. It’s those lips, the way they move. They move like she’s a machine gun.” “I don’t think anybody has ever had a better press secretary than Karoline.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-karoline-leavitt-lips_n_689055cfe4b0b6f38d13ab78
Not creepy at all. NopeNopeNope.
"Her lips move like a machine gun. That's why I hired her."
But it's mostly that vacant, deer-in-the-headlights stare.

The answer to these questions is always: Fuck Rafael “Ted” Cruz!
Gotta say that a vintage "Georgia O'Keefe Pudding Cake" is PERFECT for Dylan Hollis. Is he still doing that kinda stuff?

“We are going to ban pronouns in the classroom." Good luck trying to write a sentence that way.
Oh, wait...this is Nancy Mace.
Never mind.
Going forward I will be summarizing all my snarky comments on Tabs instead of posting several individual ones. Please enjoy.
1. Hegseth - “Annoying little brothers always wanting attention. Amirite “
2. Pirro woke up hungover today seeing she was confirmed and was like “Wow. I thought that was a drunk dream. Wtf is wrong with these people?”
3. We have several billionaires that claim to be liberals that could have saved public broadcasting and NPR with what would have amounted to a rounding error in their net worth and didn’t. Are we sure they are really liberal? Because that seemed like a gimmee.

10. DJT jr - the only person to ever go UP 2 cup sizes on cocaine
Too many tabs. I did my best.
Jr.: pec implants, obvs.
Eric hasn't had any work done.
And he still doesn't look normal.
My guess too. He was like “give me the RFK jr”
I was wondering if he's taking hormones.

Slava Ukraini. 🌻🇺🇦💙💛
A delightful taste of our coming retirement. I love you, darling. Have a great week, every Wonk!
I saw the original JCSS on Broadway when I was but a little grex. Feeling a bit old now.
