Sorry to disappoint you, but I\u2019m not going to write about it.  No siree.  The texts came in while the drama was unfolding.  \u201cIsn\u2019t it heartbreaking?\u201d said one text.  \u201cIs it?  Is it really?\u201d  My heartbreak is reserved for precious few situations.  But I did have one question \u2013 how many are in \u201ca flurry\u201d?  I assume it\u2019s more than \u201ca few\u201d, but probably less than \u201ca gaggle\u201d.  If it were crows, it would be \u201ca murder\u201d \u2013 but that\u2019s just a bit too on the nose.  I will make one observation \u2013 if you are going to emulate a celebrity, shoot higher than Demi Lovato<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a story circulating in Boston that has given me a red rump \u2013 which has been seen by quite a few in various international cities.  It\u2019s regarding Drag Queen Story Time with Ms. Patty<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 which took place at the South Boston branch of the Boston Public Library<\/em>.  One person on social media who shall remain nameless posted the story and quipped, \u201cBeing trans is a mental illness.\u201d  Sigh \u2013 where to begin.  First, I don\u2019t know Ms. Patty, but I wouldn\u2019t assume she\u2019s trans.  She could simply be a drag queen \u2013 neither of which I\u2019d identify as a mental illness.  One person responded to this post, \u201cThis is about grooming kids.\u201d  Same question I asked in the previous story \u2013 \u201cIs it?\u201d  Was Mrs. Doubtfire<\/em><\/strong> grooming anyone?  \u201cGrooming kids\u201d?  To become what?  Drag queens?  In Boston we had Boomtown<\/em> <\/strong>hosted by cowboy Rex Trailer<\/strong>.  Was that grooming kids?  To become cowboys?  Please tell me what Captain Kangaroo <\/strong>was grooming kids to become (other than bunkmates with Mr. Green Jeans<\/strong>).  Is a woman dressing as a princess and reading to kids grooming them to become…royalty?  Maybe this is what happened to poor, misunderstood Meghan Markle<\/strong>.  Maybe one too many princesses read to her as a child!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
