WHAT A WORLD

I’ll be watching when the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert airs May 21, probably with a wet tissue in one hand and a stiff drink in the other.

Hatch is the Montrose Center-supported LGBTQ youth group. Since 1987, Hatch has provided young folks — queer and otherwise — a safe, nonjudgmental space to be themselves.

Haters of Puerto Rican super-duper megastar, Bad Bunny because “He’s not even American!” was downright hysterical. We can’t wait to watch his Super Bowl Halftime Show. Bun, please perform entirely in Spanish and grab your crotch a million times.

"Are we where?” you might ask. Even with the benefit of location tracking magic, we are not “there” yet. Truth be told, judging from various events of the past year, I don’t expect we’ll be “there” for at least another three years.

In the spirit of end-of-year tradition that What a World revisits some of the more notable utterances that made this annus both horribilis as well as mirabilis. Sit back, pour yourself a tall glass of Willie’s Remedy, and enjoy!

Trump’s fight with PBS likely started in 2005 when Sesame Street introduced Donald Grump, a new Muppet who is “a Grouch who has more trash than any other Grouch in the world and often brags to others about it.”

Mother Nature ain’t playing. She’s pissed. She’s taken off her chancla and is chasing us through the house with it. Firenadoes (Sharknados’ even deadlier distant cousin) set ablaze Hawaii, California, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, and beyond.

In the last Texas legislature alone, 160 bills arose, restricting freedom for LGBTQ folks — especially the Ts.

Kristi Noem’s stolen purse was more than a purse, though. It was a $4,400 Gucci handbag. That’s a lot of Gucci.
