  1. Ralph Wiggam says:

    Blanco is 72% white already. This guy must be afraid of the other 28%.

    That’s paranoia.

  2. I’m guessing he’ll say he didn’t know “Blanco” means “white”, but, on the other hand, he prolly believes his voters don’t know.

    I am so sorry you live in Texas … I know the other states have their share of total craziness but, good God Gertie, you have an abundance of vileness there!! It’s just too insane almost for words sometimes!!

  4. Sancta Maria.

  5. Blanko, as in empty space (between the ears)?

    Sankta Lucia? “White-clad with light in her hair,
    Sankta Lucia, Sankta Lucia!”

    D.R. at a guess, Bruce the Peele didn’t intend to declare war on Mexico or Norway. Really, he’s more of a O La Paloma Blanca kind of guy: singing while flying up to the sun.

    Holy shades of Icarus, Bruce would be an international disaster, if not for the FreeDumb that keeps him Texan.

    Oy gevalt, the ears they are ringing!

    I wagered on he Kentucky Derby,but that doesn’t make me a racist.

  9. I started to make some snarky comment about the overt racism of the sign, but then I remembered that in gutting the Voting Rights Act, SCOTUS declared that there was no more racism in America.

    Thank goodness for that! Because if we were still dealing with racism, that sign would be just hateful.

    But obviously it isn’t, because, SCOTUS said so.

  10. I’m only surprised that the guy even knows any Spanish. Though I guess it figures he would know the word for “white.”

    I wonder if he knows “Kieta el stupido elephante.”

  11. Keep Blanco white and racist. Vote for Bruce “Bigot” Peele.

  12. maggie says:

    Blanco, as in the absence of color? That is actually what white is. And yes I know that sometimes blanco can mean the totally empty serene space between the ears where a functioning brain should be at home.

  13. A few days ago on bbc.com, I read this story “Why Would an Animal Lose Its Brain?”
    http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20150424-animals-that-lost-their-brains

    My first thought then was “To be a T-jadist”. Now I’d say “In order to run for Mayor of Blanco, Texas”

    SCOTUS, are you listening???????????????????
    So much for your hare-brained decision on the Voting Rights Act. You did not fool anybody with that “racism is over” politicrap. Have you noticed anything going on in Ferguson, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Baltimore recently? Apparently some folks didn’t get the memo.

  15. That Other Jean says:

    Wow! That’s gone beyond dog whistle, to straight-up whistlin’ “Dixie.” At least he gives fair warning; either that, or he’s an idiot–not that those are mutually exclusive categories.

    Micr, thanks for providing a page missing from my old college zoology textbook.

    Scientific classification
    Kingdom: Animalia
    Phylum: Chordata
    Subphylum: Tunicata

    Classes: Ascidiacea, Thaliacea, Larvacea

    Synonyms: Republican, Urochordata, sea squirt. McConnell, Boener, Gohmert, Cotton, et. al., sea squirts.

    Sea squirt, that’s a term Dan Savage could readily add to Santorum in the Urban Dictionary.

    Maryelle given the RATS, Roberts, Alito, Thomas and Scalia, I believe the correct acronym is SCROTUS.

  17. Angelo Frank says:

    Local politics is so in your face now. I’m sure dipstick Bruce Peele means it.

    18
  18. Isn’t it just a little hypocritical to get on your high horse in a town named Blanco and demand it stay white, in Spanish?

    19
  19. maryelle says:

    PKM: Amen. Henceforth it shall be SCROTUS.

  20. I have used tunicates as a model organism in my research, and I can speak for them when I say my urochordate friends are not pleased with you, PKM!

  21. Teh Gerg says:

    Hmm. How do you say “honkie” in Spanish?

    22
  22. Keep Blanco a target? Conde Dracula es “blanco”, Gasparin el fantasma amistoso es “blanco, Ted Cruz es “blanco”… pero, cuando se habla de mi tono de piel, ¡soy “güero”, no “blanco”!
