Oh Mary, goodbye to Cole Escola...

Betty Gilpin to Replace Cole Escola in Broadway's 'Oh, Mary'

This morning the brilliant Cole Escola announced his intention to turn the reigns of his play over to straight actress Betty Gilpin (no offense to Betty, but there’s something about a drunken Mary Todd Lincoln played by Cole himself), citing fatigue and prior commitments.

I can't help but think that the timing is set to take place right before the most anti-drag administration since Edgar Hoover's day storms our country.

Oh Mary isn't a drag show but it features drag. It's hilarious and fun, and without Cole, we are just one more tick away from being the bland and humorless Country every Christi-Fascist dreams of daily.

The Republicans WILL blame us for what is coming.

Because they always do. For whatever mess they vote themselves into, they somehow find a shifty way to blame us. The only solace I will have going forward in the next two years before midterms is by saying this:

“YOUR President chose this path for you. You have THE SENATE! You have THE HOUSE.! You even have THE SUPREME COURT! There are no guardrails for your President and your party could change this disaster right now, but they don’t want to. Every single bit of this is YOUR fault. Shame on you.”

I have a lot of Republican acquaintances as the result of my career. The art of public shaming needs to be reborn. If it makes me look petty to any of you, I apologize, but for the next two yrs I’m going to be a massively petty ass bitch.

UC Davis employee shocking public anti-trans tirade at Alohalani Hotel

My 88 yr old, UC Davis Aggie Alumni (DU “lurker” to use her words) mother asked that I post this to DU on her behalf and I am enthusiastically doing so.

Attached is a shocking public humiliation aimed at the trans community during Pride month. Beth Bourne, the Program Coordinator for UC Davis’ STEPS+ Program, tweeted the attached video of herself engaged in a vile verbal assault on another guest.

Here’s hoping Chancellor Gary May does the right thing and fires her immediately for her bragging bigotry.

The Upcoming NRA Convention firearms policy.

Trump and Pence are scheduled to speak next month at the annual NRA Conference to be held at the Indiana Convention Center.

Shocker here: NO FIREARMS ALLOWED while the GOP God and Demi-God address the crowd regarding what I assume will be content near and dear to the attendees.

Not that I figured they would be allowed (I didn’t), but honestly, when all the NRA does is spout off about how it’s “not guns that kill people, it’s people who kill people,” at some point you have to trust your base, right? You can’t have it both ways. You can’t say your base is comprised of Trump loving patriots who understand gun safety and want to carry in public to protect themselves and others from evil-doers, yet ban the very thing you are advocating for around your most sacred spokesperson and his boy wonder. It just goes to show you- they are smart. They don’t trust their base any more than we do. Plain and simple, and oh so hypocritical.
