Perhaps One's Life is a Bit TOO Fabulous...

when one has to sand the glitter off of their banquet table in order to be able to use it for Thanksgiving Dinner!

I mean, hell, do normal people even HAVE banquet tables? Miss Ginger has 4, and when she pushes them all together in the dining room she can seat 24 comfortably! Of course, the dining table has to go in the kitchen, and the kitchen table goes in the study, but everything fits and Miss G can create a grand banquet for her guests! She used to be able to set 24 places with matching china, too, but that got split up in the divorce, so she's going to have to buy some banquet china before Thanksgiving!

Miss Ginger hasn't had this many people for Thanksgiving in a long time! As you can see, she's started preparing already!

"Sylvester" and "Tweetie"

A friend sent Miss G these pics- presumably from the interwebz. Disclaimer: We don't know the owner of these animals!



We start off with "Tweetie" so busy twittering that he doesn't see the puddy tat! This can't be good news

This gives "Sylvester" the opportunity to sneak up on his unsuspecting prey!

He's got him in a headlock...

but the clever little bird escapes. He stronger than he looks! As Sylvester prepares his next attact, Tweetie asks "can't we resolve this conflict without violence?"

At first Sylvester is pensive.... for years his "people" have settled conflict with violence!

!

But with a little strong-armed diplomacy, Tweetie states his case for a peaceful resolution

And once they realize that one man's parasite is another man's feast, they create an alliance for life!

"Tweetie for President... of the whole fucking world!"

Sad Day in Texas...

Fort Hood, Texas , should be such a lovely place... crawling with hot, young soldiers readying for military deployment.










But it turned ugly Thursday when this sorry Son of a Bitch

walked in to a medical facility in Fort Hood and opended fire, killing 12 people and wounding 13 others. Worst part of all, is that MAJOR Nidal Malik Husan was a psychiatrist from the Walter Read facility. And to rub salt in it all, the US Government and it's military paid for his medical training! All of it! Known to be "a devout muslim", this asshat managed to walk into a military facility with a loaded firearm (you'd think they'd check for that kind of shit!) and open fire. Bad news for him he that he chose to do it in Texas... we hang people here if you dent our pickup trucks. This asshat is gonna fry!

But seriously, the families of those killed and injured deserve our thoughts and prayers! There are more details on the story here. I'm sure we'll be hearing lots more about this as this slimewad is brought to justice to face what he did. The "mistreated outcast" and "misunderstood muslim" diatribe is starting already. It's gonna get ugly, I can tell!

In other news from the "fucked up Texans hiding behind fucked up religions" file, this asshole,

Raymond Jessop, was the first of the pussies from the FDLS "Yearning for Zion" "ranch" to be convicted of child molestation for having sex and impregnating underaged girls. Shown here in standard issue child-molester track suit, with the standard issue smug mormon grin, Jessop awaits his sentencing, scheduled for next Monday.

This dude may as well hang it up... save us the court costs and the the processing fees! Here's a message for him from Miss Ginger: "You won't survive the first week in prison, so be a man for the the first time in your life and swallow a bullet, you sorry son of a bitch!"

The "Shake Date!"

Even Miss Ginger, who doesn't watch much TV, has seen the infomercial for the ridiculous "Shake Weight". But she never realized what a useful workout it could be until this parody starting making its rounds on the internet! Parody indeed!

Election Update...

Annise made it to a runoff with former City Attorney Gene Locke. She came out ahead with 38% of the votes, so Miss Ginger has great hopes she will ultimately be Houston's 1st gay Mayor! The GLBTQ community has been behind Annise all along, and I'm sure the spirit will be even greater now that she's one step closer! Miss G may even have to throw a little campaign fundraiser to make sure she's got enough support to come out ahead!

Sue Lovell, the lesbian candidate for City Council, will also be facing a runnoff. She, too, was ahead in the popular vote, but not by a large enough margin to avoid a runnoff.

And unfortunately, our boy Carlos was not victorious, but DAMN, he is still ultra cute! I'm sure this won't be the last we see of Carlos in the Houston political scene! For now, Miss G leaves you with one more picture of the uber-handsome politico:

In Other Local Races....

...there are at least 3 openly gay candidates running for various City Council seats in Houston. Honestly, City Council races usually bore Miss Ginger: "something about crime"... "something about neighborhoods"... "something about transit".... "something about land use"....


That is, until Carlos announced he was running for City Council!

Ah, Carlos! What can Miss G say about dear, sweet Carlos? She met him at a black tie affair, and damn, if that boy doesn't look FINE in black tie! He's not the most experienced candidate on the ballot, and based on our conversation, he may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but really, people... are you that shallow? Do you select your leadership based solely on experience and intelligence? What about charisma? and charm? and shear, unadulterated, utter sex appeal? Now THESE are the traits Miss Ginger looks for when endorsing a candidate!

So, Miss G knows there's a lezzie running for some Council seat, and another old gay guy running for the other, and she'll vote for them if she can remember their name tomorrow morning! But, you can bet your bottom dollar on one thing: when it comes time to cast her vote for City Council At-large Position 5, she will be casting her vote for her future husband: Carlos A. Obando! She's perfect for the job of "First Lady At-Large"- I mean, c'mon people... they don't come much larger! Now, if she can just convince Carlos.... !

Tomorrow is Election Day!

And it's a big one for the GLBTQ community in Houston! Out lesbian Annise Parker, who has served on Houston's City Council and as City Controller, is running for Mayor! Both Miss Ginger and Boy Ginger have met Annise on several occassions and have always been struck by her smile and her sincerity. She is known for having run a tight ship with the city's pursestrings, which is important in our current economic environment! Better yet, while she is active, visible, and supportive within the GLBTQ community, the word on the street among the straights is that she is respected for having refrained from using her position to further a "gay" agenda. Personally, I think she has been more than "neutral", but clearly shrewd enough to remain fair, consistent, and popular!

There are 3 other candidates, and Annise and 2 others are considered "front runners". There is likely to be a run-off, and Miss G is quite sure Annise will be a part of it! Stay tuned for tomorrow nights election results- right here on TFBOMGG!
