\n\u2013 <\/em>Donald Trump<\/strong>\u2019s response to a FOX<\/em> News <\/em>question about whether he will accept
\nthe results of all the races.  Yeah, why wouldn\u2019t he?  I guess we\u2019ll find out in January.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve probably heard the saying \u2013 like rats fleeing a sinking ship.  Well, let\u2019s call Mike Johnson <\/strong>the biggest rat of all (and that\u2019s saying something).  After the Democrats took control of both the Senate <\/em>and the House of Representatives<\/em>, do you know the first thing he did?  He picked up what was left of his marbles and went home.  While he would obviously no longer be Speaker of the House<\/em>, he could have been the House Minority Leader<\/em>.  But apparently he\u2019s in the minority of people who want that job.  He notified his staff of his decision.  So, what will he do now?  Go home and play with himself, I suppose.<\/p>\n

You\u2019d think pretty much everything about the election has been said by now.  But there\u2019s a story I missed.  The Republicans took out an ad attacking Iowa State Auditor <\/em>Rob Sand <\/strong>who was running for governor.  They learned that Sand previously had a modeling career.  And, naturally, he has some risqu\u00e9 <\/em>photos.  JD Vance <\/strong>even referred to him as an \u201cunderwear model\u201d, as if that\u2019s a bad thing.  Why are Republicans so obsessed with male nudity?  Who do they think they are…Billy Masters<\/strong>?  So, I did what I always do \u2013 did a deep dive.  And you know what I found?  Some shots in his portfolio which show considerably more skin than you\u2019d see on an Afterschool Special <\/em>(if, indeed, Afterschool Specials <\/em>still exist).  But were they lewd?  Not really.  Some of the photos showed up in attack ads, paid for by Sand\u2019s opponent, Zach Lahn<\/strong>.  Result?  Rob Sand is the new governor of Iowa.  I guess sex sells!<\/p>\n

Alas, sex wasn\u2019t enough to help Chris Gallant <\/strong>beat out the incumbent Nicholas LaLota <\/strong>for New York\u2019s First Congressional District<\/em>.  You\u2019ll recall that some of Gallant\u2019s private BDSM photos from the past went public \u2013 courtesy of the opposition, naturally.  I think it actually helped Chris\u2019 campaign.  It was a close race, but ultimately LaLota retained his seat by less than three percentage points.  Something tells me we haven\u2019t seen the last of Chris Gallant.<\/p>\n

Even though the Kennedy<\/em> Center<\/em> is shuttered, the Kennedy Center Honors <\/em><\/strong>are still slated to take place on December 7th<\/sup>, of all days.  Some people say you shouldn\u2019t accept the honor under the current regime.  But some people ain\u2019t me.  I hold no ill will against Paul Anka<\/strong>, David Foster<\/strong>, Andy Garcia<\/strong>, David Mamet <\/strong>or Barbara Mandrell<\/strong>, who are this year\u2019s honorees.  Any chance of coaxing Irlene <\/strong>and Louise <\/strong>out of retirement is OK by me.  Perhaps the telecast (if there is a telecast) will be sponsored by White Rain<\/em>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
