We told you about Jesus on the laundry room floor in Wild Peach, Texas.  Well, he’s made it all the way to California and is now appearing live and in person on your chaise lounge.

An Orange County couple says they have found the image of Jesus in a wooden rocking chair that has been sitting in their backyard for years.

Lynn Balducci tells KTLA her husband, Lou, discovered the image in the chair last week after they decided to throw away some old cushions.

“He didn’t think too much of it at first, ” Lynn says. “He showed it to me and to a few of our friends and everyone agreed that it was indeed an image of Jesus.”

Yep.  Gotta be Jesus.  Couldn’t possibly be Bob Dylan.  Or Leonardo da Vinci.  Nope.  Gotta be Jesus.

Answer me this:  How come Sweet Jesus shows up on the floors, windows, and lawn decor of the same dang people who the UFO aliens come to see?  How come that is?  Some people have all the luck.

According to census figures, Fort Bend County has grown 65% which means we will get a new State House seat.  It should be zoned for a Hispanic.

The state data is here.  (PDF format)

Both Ron Reynolds (Dem) and John Zerwas (Rep) will lose population to make up the new district.  The seat can be won by a minority Democrat since the first election will be held in a Presidential year.

Let’s get this show on the road!  This is a bucket of good news.

Thelma told Juanita about this odd Republican move in Congress.

A Republican representative has introduced a spending bill amendment aimed at promoting the use of contraception – by horses.

Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.) introduced the amendment, which would control the population of wild horses and burros as an alternative to the costly practice of capturing the animals and holding them in pens, which the Bureau of Land Management currently employs.

“Okay,” Juanita responds, “So Republicans are trying to cut Title 10 funding, which includes birth control for humans, so they can give birth control to horses?”

“Honey,” Thelma quipped, “Republicans have come to like being associated with ‘horsin’ around’, if ya know what I mean, and I know you do.”

Let’s hear for Wisconsin Democrats who are not going to stand for being steamrolled into a Republican hell!  They took a page out of the playbook of Texas Democrats in the State House and fled the state to protect the state.

Wisconsin Democrats on Thursday fled the statehouse in an effort to prevent legislators from reaching a quorum and passing a bill put forth by Gov. Scott Walker (R), which would cripple the collective bargaining rights of public unions.

The move produced a frantic political drama, as state troopers were reportedly sent out to find the fleeing lawmakers and Walker hinted that the National Guard would be called in to fill the void left by protesting union workers.

One Democratic senator told the Milwaukee-WIsconsin Journal Sentinel that most of the members of his caucus had already crossed state lines.

When Texas Democrats fled to Oklahoma, Tom DeLay tried to send Homeland Security after them, and their families were threatened.  However, Willie Nelson sent them red bandannas with a note to “stand your ground!”

In a you really need to read this whole thing editorial in the New York Times, this exchange is quoted about Texas’ lack of sex education.

“Abstinence works,” said Governor Perry during a televised interview with Evan Smith of The Texas Tribune.

“But we have the third highest teen pregnancy rate among all states in the country,” Smith responded.

“It works,” insisted Perry.

“Can you give me a statistic suggesting it works?” asked Smith.

“I’m just going to tell you from my own personal life. Abstinence works,” said Perry, doggedly.

Well, no wonder he’s so damn cranky.

Come on, Anita, save Texas!  Lil’ Ricky needs tendin’ to.
