Trump Had A Diet Coke Button On His Desk

That wooden box with the red button was Donald Trump's
Emergency Diet Coke Button on his desk in the 
Oval Office. Joe Biden got rid of it 
When Joe Biden moved into the White House, and in particular the Oval Office last week, he did a little redecorating.  

The carpets were changed, displays with busts of historic figures were rearranged, and there was one major change on the Oval Office desk.  The Emergency Diet Coke button disappeared. 

Yes, there was an Emergency Diet Coke Button on the Oval Office desk during the Trump administration. Trump would press the red button and instantly, a butler would arrive with a Diet Coke on a silver platter. 

Trump reported drinks something like a dozen Diet Cokes a day.  If he drinks them to lose weight, it's plainly not working, but that's another story. 

Photos this week show Biden hard at work at this desk, and said desk is now missing the Emergency Diet Coke Button.  One of the photos showed that someone brought Biden a cup of coffee, but there's no sign of an Emergency Coffee Button either. 

On Twitter, Emmy Bengtson (@EmmyA2) imagined an Oval Office conversation as staffers helped Biden settle in to his workplace:

Biden: "OK, what's next?"

Staffer: "Setting up the Oval. Photos are all done. Do you want to keep the Diet Coke button?"

Biden:

Staffer: 

Biden: "The what in God's name?!?!"

People on Twitter mockingly "opposed" the demise of the Emergency Diet Coke Button

"Biden should've kept this but instead of summoning a Diet Coke, the button would call a random Trump family member and make a sad trombone sound" tweeted @goldengateblond.

Also this: "Biden getting rid of the Diet Coke button in the Oval Office shows that he has zero interest in 'reaching out' or 'healing division,' observed Will Menaker on Twitter. 

Now Trump is gone away to  Mar-A-Lago, where he's probably being told to get his own damn Diet Cokes for crissakes. 

The Oval Office Emergency Diet Coke Button is indeed gone, but it's not like Biden hates everything Coke.  It's reported he already has a stash of Coke Zero to quench his thirst.

Time To Ban Gender Reveal Parties

Image
A colorful but destructive gender reveal party in Arizona about five years ago. It's a boy! It's also a destructive wildfire that caused $8 million in damage!  In the past month two people have died participating or planning gender reveal parties. It's the latest disaster caused by people trying to outdo each other. Stop!  In recent years these parties started at least two major western wildfires and inspired zillions of gender reveal party pratfall videos.  The problem seems to be the idea has taken off, and people insist that each gender party has to play out much more elaborately than any previous one.   In the most recent incident, a father to be died while working on a device for his child's gender reveal. According to the New York Post: "Christopher Pekny, 28, was working on the device for his child's gender reveal part in the Catskills town of Liberty when it blew up just before noon on Sunday.  The blast killed Pekny and injured his brother, 27-year-old

My Annual Darlene Love Christmas Tradition Screwed Up By What Else? Covid. Still Making It Work, Though!

Image
 Every year for the past I don't know how long now - at least a decade - I've posted Darlene Love's annual TV performance of her classic "Christmas Baby (Please Come Home).   For the past few years, she's done this on the chat fest show, "The View." It isn't happening this year. Yes, Covid got in the way again.  Thankfully and most importantly, Love seems to be A-OK. One of her band members tested positive, so the entire band was quarantined.  In a video i nterview last Friday with The View, Love says she feels fine. She said she's fully vaccinated, had her booster shot, and also a flu shot.  The band member who tested positive with a probable breakthrough infection was also fully vaccinated, rendering that person a bit less likely to spread the virus.  The quarantine was lifted last weekend, and Love was once again able to give public performances. o You can't stop tradition, so I'm using that video for this year's Darlene Love salut

Reviving The Blog , Sort Of, In Time For Christmas. With Karens!

Image
A Christmas fright from Karens!  Just for laughs and giggles, I've decided now, after the gardening season ended, that I have time to devote to this blog thingy, so I'm reviving it. At least for awhile.  This blog has mostly been on hiatus since spring, since I didn't have time to deal with it. But let's go for broke.  Since it's the Christmas season, let's start with the holiday spirit, if you will. With Karens, since they've been all the rage - literally - this year. Jimmy Kimmel recently had a fantastic holiday Karen segment that you have to watch.  It starts pretty frighteningly, with a woman doing an anti-vax version of Mariah Carey's Christmas classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You."   Sweet Mariah can sing this lovely song. Anti-vax Karen.......cannot. Anti-Vax Karen, "performing" at a San Diego county board meeting, reworked the lyrics into extreme nonsense. Worse, her singing voice is about as good as the tragic sound of
