George Santos has updated his lie about the Pulse club shooting.
He previously said the four victims had been his past employees.
Now he’s claiming the four victims were going to be his future employees.
In other words, he meant to say employee-ish.

I moaned about Republican Congressional candidate George Santos before the 2022 midterm elections, because the openly gay Long Islander was a Trump fan, an abortion opponent, and a supporter of Florida's Don't Say Gay law. I moaned about him after he won, because he beat the openly gay Democratic candidate and flipped a critical seat.
Turns out I'd not yet begun to moan.
We now know Santos the candidate lied, and bigly, about his education and his employment. His claims that his grandparents escaped the Holocaust and he's Jewish are such fabrications that the Republican Jewish Coalition wants nothing to do with him.
In an interview yesterday, Santos said he was "sorry for having embellished my resume," but he intends to be sworn in. That Bible better not be combustible.
There are potentially more revelations ahead concerning his finances. For my part, there's only one thing I want to hear he lied about: being gay.

I'm wearing the gay Christmas socks a friend gave me last year.
They have rainbow stripes, giant snowflakes, unicorns, Christmas trees, hearts, the works.
I'm wearing socks that have more energy than I do.

Image by Mohamed Hassan from Pixabay The main newspaper here in Seattle has been marking and celebrating the 10-year anniversary of same-sex marriage becoming legal in Washington state.
The anniversary is definitely something to be celebrated. However, to me the press coverage also serves as a burning reminder that my same-sex marriage ended in same-sex divorce.
I signed up for a marathon and fell down a manhole at mile two.

Image by 15290004 from Pixabay At my Unitarian Universalist church in Seattle today, as part of an Advent sermon on joy, the junior minister told a story that had me laughing more than is probably decent.
Beth recalled how the small UU church she attended growing up in Topeka, Kan., encouraged congregants to express a joy or a sorrow during the service. On one particularly memorable Sunday, her mother shared with the congregation that she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer and planned to undergo surgery. Beth's mother was hopeful, but this announcement clearly fell in the sorrow category.
A transgender woman who followed shared a joy, namely that she would soon be receiving long-awaited chest feminization surgery.
Beth's mother yelled out that the two of them should try to get a two-for-one deal.

While the circumstances aren't perfect—Russia refused to include another incarcerated American in the deal, for instance—Griner will be back with her family after a nine-month trip through hell as a political pawn.
I'm so relieved. And during the upcoming WNBA season, I'm sure I'll be downright pleased when Griner leads the Mercury to victory over my team, the Seattle Storm.
As long as it happens only once.
