Do you know how many sedatives it would take for The Chair to not write about Chuck Schumer (and his Democrat allies) waving the white flag to Presidents Trump and Musk? The answer: the exact amount he was given during his dental surgery.
I think I know who stole her lorazepams
While the Chair recovers, and considers whether or not the entire cast of White Lotus can be thrown overboard this season (OK, we can save Chelsea and her toothy grin), enjoy this bonus minute of resistance brought to you by the icon herself, Miss Joan Baez.
It’s no surprise that the Chair loves Miss Baez (read more here) — after all, he did a book report about her autobiography in the 11th grade, effusively praising her for the queen that she is. So let’s all do the same and honor this woman, and all other women fighting the good fight. It’s Women’s History Month after all… isn’t it? Googles to see if that still exists in this country…
Joan, we love ya. Keep fighting — and we’ll do the same.
While all you moviegoers were out and about at theatres singing along with Wicked and battling along with Gladiator 2, this weekend I was slouched on the couch with Netflix eye-candying…
Hot Frosty.
Yes, it had come to this.
This is exactly what you think it is
A friend of mine had mentioned it a few days before and I scoffed, not giving it a second thought. Then a few nights later, as usual, I turned on cable news.
I won’t say what fresh hell it was but you can use your imagination. Or tune into the news yourself.
I dare you.
So what is Hot Frosty?
No Olafs were involved
It’s the story of a hunky shirtless snow sculpture man come to life when a melancholy woman notices his abs, puts her cable knit scarf around his neck to warm him up and – sure as a twinkly gust of gentle snow/wind can only do in a Christmas time Hallmark/Lifetime/now Netflix movie – makes him human.
Sort of.
That is because he’s unlike any man we see these days, especially on cable news.
LOL is this real life?
He’s got abs of steel BUT he’s floppy-haired adorkable. He’s cool, cool, cool BUT he’s also kind, generous, great with kids, AND instinctively knows how to fix a roof or singlehandedly push a car out of mounds of snow.
Not to mention, after watching a cooking show and a couple of YouTube videos he can whip you up an elaborate feast of pretty much anything AND not brag about it.
OK now I’m sweating
Contrary to what I’ve been sharing, these post-Election Day weeks have felt hopeless and harrowing with not much to look forward to on our collective lost horizons. But every so often you flip through a streaming platform and are force fed an instant preview to some dumb, inane, annoying movie against your will you have no intention of watching. You are in a severely weakened state because you sense the end of the world as you knew it. And then are force fed –
The cure.
It’s not gender checking body parts for bathroom entry or allowing public school prayer to a saggy-skinned, pancake make-up wearing, balding, blonde-gray fascist in suit jackets longer than the ones Bea Arthur wore in Maude, Golden Girls and Amanda’s By The Sea (Note: You can google the latter).
Don’t involve me in this, Chairy
It’s merely Jack. The hot snow/man. His body temperature may be 30 degrees but if you’re feeling lonely and desperate this holiday week he’s the warmest thing out there.
