Mimosa, Bloody Mary, nice flute of champagne — or maybe a favorite tipple in your coffee. Make yourself one and join me at our own Algonquin Round Table, the spirit of Dorothy Parker abides.
A happy Sunday, dears. A flute of champagne for you and a strong Irish coffee for me. Remember when I let you in on my #CalExit a month ago? Well, let’s just say we’ve been knee deep in contractors the last couple of weeks and what I lack in sleep I’m making up for in caffeine and sugar.
Pass me a cruller, dear, and be sure to snag some for yourself before I bogart the whole platter. Up next, last week’s lunacies.

Certainly, movie studios have mined Marvel and D.C. for popcorn movies for years … heaven forbid they consider original material. I don’t begrudge them aiming at the young male demographic that typically reads comics. But try as I might, I can’t figure out just what audience is going to rush to reserve a copy of this?
On Tuesday, Dark Horse Comics announced via press release that it has been working with [Whoopie] Goldberg on an upcoming graphic novel featuring a menopausal superhero, called “The Change.”
“Because of her lifelong love for comic books, Goldberg decided it was time to create a new kind of superhero – one who might be a little older, whose body might be a little thicker…and whose breasts may or may not be the same size,” the comic distributor once known for content like Mike Mignola’s “Hellboy,” said. “She is also smack in the middle of menopause which, along with chills and hot flashes, also gave her some unexpected superpowers.”
Ummmm … this immediately came to mind:
Yet, I do not believe Goldberg, et al, are going to be playing this elderly, fluffy woman fanning herself at night for laughs. Which makes me wonder what has occurred off-stage? Is this some sort of grievance compensation? Some sort of backroom deal via Disney to keep The View’s resident Caryn happy? Who the heck is going to buy this?

How does Ms. Candi even to remember to breathe in and out considering she has all the intellectual heft of glass of warm Bud Lite? I know socialists and other commies have been waxing “redistributive” for decades, but the melanistic hucksterism on display here is pretty blatant.
Denver, you should be ashamed.

Smaller towns, especially in the dreaded fly-over country, offer a chance of learning what it means to be a neighbor. Something more than nodding in passing at the mailbox. It means noticing when things aren’t going well and then stepping up to help.
A Kansas man is making a difference in the lives of others in his community with the help of a truck, a team, a lawn mower — and a big heart.
When Spencer B. (last name withheld), the owner of SB Mowing, sees a lawn that needs some care, he stops his truck, knock on the homeowner’s door and offers to take care of the lawn for free.
Many times it is people who find themselves unable to care for their yards. Spencer wants to give them back a little dignity by sprucing up their yards. How can he and his team afford to do this on a regular basis? He shares his experience on Youtube and earns some advertising revenue.
Noting that he is able to take care of several lawns a week for free — with some harder jobs taking several days — Spencer B. said that it returns a sense of dignity to the people within the homes. (snip)
One gentleman, a veteran, was “coming on some rough times,” Spencer B. said.
He and his SB Mowing team “came together real quick” and did the veteran’s lawn and “raised some money for him and got him back on his feet,” raising $10,000 through a GoFundMe.
Bravo, Spencer.

Thank you for joining me this morning, dears. Whatever else is going on (and, boy howdy, we are definitely living in interesting times) having this time together is a restorative. Hug your family, touch base with your friends, and I’ll see you next Sunday. Cheers!

Cameron says: For what it’s worth, Keanu Reeves did a comic with Boom Studios called BRZRKR that is absolutely worth the read. It might be because the team behind the comic knew what people wanted to read. Whoopi Goldberg should have taken note of that.
And I loved the bit about the guy doing lawn care for people. It’s too easy sometimes to wonder when Big Daddy Government is going to step up and take care of someone and nice to see there are people who won’t wait around for that to happen.
GWB says: Denver City Council member Candi CdeBaca, who is running for re-election,…
Should be put up against a wall and shot for being a revolutionary Marxist AND for being anti-Constitution.
These creatures are after your children.
Would be nice if people had figured this out back when they promoted the “non-religion” of Progressivism and first threw out morals.
Scott says: Yeah, that’s what’s become of the once great state of Colorado
