Normally on this here blog thing, I like to espouse on some news items of the day, something from the previous week that piqued my interest and that I feel is important to immortalize here on I'm So Glad My Suffering Amuses You.
So what has been going on?
Well, the rotted onion that is Congressman George Santos of New York continues to unpeel itself with more and more revelations of just how much he has lied about himself. Including if George Santos is even his real name. And his time as a Brazilian drag queen.
Now you may not necessarily care if George Santos was a drag queen in Brazil or wherever, but Republicans have very specifically attacked drag performances as part of their anti-LGBTQ hate campaign.
Would this be the one damn thing too many to make Kevin McCarthy actually stop supporting Santos and giving him committee assignments? Probably not since the Republican majority in the House is super slim, McCarthy can't afford to lose even one supporter and Kevin McCarthy is a total whore.
I really can't get too excited about this story. Yes, George Santos (or "George Santos") is a lying skuzzbucket with no sense of honor or shame but we've spent years of the Republican Party not expecting any moral accountability from Donald Trump or his sniveling sycophants so why should we expect any different now?
Anything else of note?
Republicans are still in a tizzy over the splinter in Biden's eye (the small amount of classified documents he willingly turned over to the FBI) while willfully ignoring the big ol' honking tree in Trump's ocular orb (the hundreds or thousands of classified documents that Trump lied about and deliberately resisted cooperation with the FBI). Under Kevin McCarthy's "leadership", I expect the splinter will continue to take precedence over the tree. So no surprises there.
Trump was fined a million dollars or so for being a tax defrauding asshole. Big deal! Trump will make an appeal to his knuckle dragging supporters to fork over more dough to his "campaign for President" and use that to pay the fine after he exhausts a dozen appeals. So this story is hardly a big deal to me.
OK, I have decided the big story from last week was this:
Whatever the hell Vanna White was wearing on last Wednesday's Wheel of Fortune.
After 40 years of flipping letters, Vanna's wardrobe person has run out of ideas of dresses? Or in this case just run out of dress?
Vanna's "Wonder Dress" is my choice for the big story of last week.
