This week I learned there is a comedian and actor named Matt Walsh (and I do feel guilty about not knowing his name earlier, although in my partial defense he is a classic "Hey, It's That Guy!") I had previously only been aware of Matt Walsh the right-wing commentator aka professional transphobe and bigot. Which made for confusion on my part when I saw a bunch of links and headlines about how "Matt Walsh will no longer be competing on Dancing With The Stars due to the strike." (A lot of "Really? Him? That dingbat, dancing? That dingbat, a 'star'?")

Good one! (I tend not to pay too much attention to right-wing "commentators," but I know sometimes they can't help but cross our paths...)
