I completely refuse to let these guys scare me.  However, if they want to start endangering children, the  it’s time for rightwing radio and tv to lower the fire.

A Nashville man says he and his 10-year-old daughter were victims of road rage Thursday afternoon, all because of a political bumper sticker on his car.

He said Harry Weisiger gave him the bird and rammed into his vehicle, after noticing an Obama-Biden sticker on his car bumper.

Duren had just picked up his 10-year-old daughter from school and had her in the car with him.

“He pointed at the back of my car,” Duren said, “the bumper, flipped me off, one finger salute.”

But it didn’t end there.

Duren told News 2 that Weisiger honked his horn at him for awhile, as Duren stopped at a stop sign.

Once he started driving again, down Blair Boulevard, towards his home, he said, “I looked in the rear view mirror again, and this same SUV was speeding, flying up behind me, bumped me.”

Duren said he applied his brake and the SUV smashed into the back of his car.

He then put his car in park to take care of the accident, but Weisiger started pushing the car using his SUV.

Duren said, “He pushed my car up towards the sidewalk, almost onto the sidewalk.”

Police say Harry Weisiger is charged with felony reckless endangerment in the incident.

Big tough man.  Picking on a someone with a 10 year old girl in the car.  What a weenie.

We have a local website in Fort Bend that reprints press releases and occasionally does an interview.  Juanita usually checks it on Fridays to see what passes for news in this area.

She was not disappointed today.

“Okay, so here’s the deal.  We’ve got some new construction going on and that, of course, drives God’s little critters out of their homes in nearby fields and prairies.  City folks are shocked poopless over the fact that rats, snakes, and possums live in uninhabited areas besides zoos.  Also, there’s deer, hogs, and armadillos the size of a downtown condo,” Juanita explains.

“So, we’ve got a feral hog problem.  Feral hogs are raccoon smart but ugly as a mud fence.  They also are very fond of your fancy-pants landscaping, being as how they like things better the way God created it.”

“Feral hogs make fine dining.  I am not of the vegetarian persuasion.  I figure that it God didn’t want us to eat meat, he wouldn’t have made it so tasty,” she continues.  “Some mighty fine wedding receptions around here had feral hog as the entree.  But, that’s a whole ‘nother story.”

Here’s the deal —

Within the past five moths, Missouri City began a program to attempt to decrease the number of hogs in the Waterbrook West community after hearing complaints from several residents.

The city authorized two independent contractors to work in the area to trap in the neighborhood and the surrounding property, and other properties as access is granted. So far, 60 hogs have been caught and removed.

The odd part about this news report is that the very people you’d suspect might have some knowledge of the situation, like maybe the State Game Warden, has this as his first idea  —

“Some of the guys hunt them with dogs and on horseback,” said Weiss. “That’s a pretty good solution  to get them out of an area.”

“Okay, so call me crazy, but it seems to me that dogs and guys on horseback with hunting rifles are liable to make a bigger mess in your gated community than even a herd of hogs.  I’ve of a mind to send them over to the elementary school to shoot cows,” she says with eyes rolling.

“So, I suspect that someone suggested this to the Game Warden and the second best he could come up with was this —”

“When people go and do landscaping, the hogs love to come tear it up and search for food,” said Weiss. “I don’t know what the solution is. There’s not one, really.”

“Uh, lookie over here!  Lookie!  I have a better solution,” Juanita says, “for starters we could quit electing them to Congress as Republicans.  Just tell them there’s some open congressional seats in Alabama and – poof – they are outta here.”

“I didn’t get a Junior Game Warden Badge in junior high school for nothin’,” she reminds us.

Juanita has a standing offer of a free haircut, style, or perm to Rachel Maddow any time she happens to be in town.

Juanita believes that Rachel Maddow is smartest person on television.  Maybe ever.  “She ought to be doing Meet The Press,” Juanita suggests to whoever it is who decides these things.

Well, Rachel took the cake and the icing this morning when people in Massachusetts woke up with a full page ad from Rachel explaining that Scott Brown is a jerk.  Big.  Ole.  Jerk.

It appears that Scott Brown is mailing himself around the country in a letter claiming that Rachel Maddow is running against him for Senate and that people should give him gobs of their hard earned money because, well dammit, Rachel Maddow is practically a communist.  He just made that up out of thin air. All of it.

“And, God love her, she challenged him on it,” Juanita grins.  “She patted him on  his little pointy head and gently steered him back to the reality section of the bookstore.  Go read it.”

Yep, Rachel Maddow is welcome at this place any time she wants to drop by.  We’ll even buy her a cup of coffee and send Thelma out to get her a kolache.

“Oh, alert the media,” says Juanita in that real sarcastic voice of hers this morning as she settles Verdelia in the chair for a quick wash, set and spray the hell out of hairdo this morning that’s guaranteed to last until Friday’s VFW dance.

Verdelia had brought Juanita an article about Sean Hannity and his charity work.  It was in Veteran’s Today and Verdelia’s newest boyfriend, the unpetite Robert T. “Hunker” Ratcliff is a veteran of the Army Air Corp, WWII, thank you very much.  The nicest thing that can be said about Hunker is that he doesn’t drool and generally knows where he is, which is more than can be said about Verdelia’s last boyfriend who Thelma contended was really a St. Bernard dog that could stand on hind legs, not a widow man as Thelma claimed.

Anyway, Hunker discovered that his former here-to-fore hero, the un-veteran Sean Hannity, was playing fun with monies raised for his veteran’s charity.

For the last several years, Sean Hannity and the Freedom Alliance “charity” have conducted “Freedom Concerts” across America. They’ve told you that they are raising money to pay for the college tuition of the children of fallen soldiers and to pay severely wounded war vets.  And on Friday Night, Hannity will be honored with an award for this “Outstanding Community Service by a Radio Talk Show Host” at Talkers Magazine’s  convention.

But it’s all a huge scam.

In fact, less than 20%–and in two recent years, less than 7% and 4%, respectively–of the money raised by Freedom Alliance went to these causes, while millions of dollars went to expenses, including consultants and apparently to ferry the Hannity posse of family and friends in high style

Hunker was a tad upset that Sean Hannity’s Freedom Concerts were really Sean Hannity’s Swanky Concerts.  He almost cried.  Mostly because he’s sent Sean money from his veteran’s disability check which he, too, could have used for something frivolous, like food and shelter.

Hunker says he’s going to hire “Fast” Johnnie T. Jackson over at the North Richmond Law Palace to sue Hannity for deceptive advertising.  But, Hunker’s so old that we don’t let him buy green bananas so I doubt he’ll live long enough for Fast Johnnie to get the paperwork filed.

Besides, if you could sue people for using money to enrich their lifestyle, you’d have to stand in line with a lawyer at Tom DeLay’s front door.

“Look, here’s the rule,” Juanita explains, “people who claim to be conservative are conservative with THEIR money; they are very liberal with YOUR money.  They are all shamelessly greedy people.  They are all snake oil salesmen, only they have less ethics.”

Juanita is not, I repeat, not shocked that a slimy guy like Sean Hannity would use veterans and their children to act all big britches.

“He’s just a little too prissy for my taste,” she says.

To say that Republicans are ornery is not enough.  They are meaner than a ten acres of snakes and are living proof that there are more horse’s butts than there are horses.

“I’ve only got one nerve left and they are getting all over it,” Juanita says as she closes up shop this evening.  She has plans for the evening, which kinda explains the hot pink pumps and Ray Ban sunglasses.  But she set the alarm system first.

“I am a non-violent person, but I do not abide bullies.  And, it appears that the bullies are costing me money and I am not happy about that.  She points to an article from CNN that she downloaded and printed out.

House Democrats are concerned about their security due to increased threats since Sunday’s vote to pass the health care bill, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Wednesday.

Hoyer told a news conference that “a significant number, meaning over 10,” had reported either threats, vandalism or other incidents. Capitol Police officials have briefed House Democrats on reporting suspicious or threatening activity and taking precautions to avoid “subjecting themselves or their families to physical harm,” said Hoyer, D-Maryland.

“This moves beyond bullyism and has turned the nasty color of terrorism,” she has decided.

“When threats of violence are used to influence the votes of Democrats, then they’re taking lessons from Al Qaeda.”

A blogger in Aladamnbama has called for violence. He wrote —

“My answer is violence, by getting their attention,” he said, adding, “If we can get across to the other side that they are within inches of provoking a civil war in this country, then that’s a good thing.”

It’s just damn health care.  It’s not even a damn flag burnin’.
