Yesterday, on April Fool’s Day, with no warning, Fort Bend ISD  riffed fired 332 teachers, 114 of them were high school teachers.  On the upside, they were allowed to take the rest of the day off.

No word on how many administrators were riffed, yeah, like that would happen, or if Superintendent Dr. Jenny took even a tiny cut in his obscene salary. When I an Queen of Texas, and believe me, I’m just one glittery sash away from that position, no public school superintendent can make more that 3 times the salary of the lowest paid teacher. I’ll make it the damn law.

.Thanks to Rachel for the heads-up on this one.

This past weekend at the Texas College Republicans convention in Austin, this incident occurred at an after-party.

During the festivities the newly elected Chairman, Charlie McCaslin of Southern Methodist University, decided to give a very inebriated toast to Alex Schriver– the Alabama College Republicans Chairman who is currently running for Chairman of the College Republican National Committee (CRNC) as a part of the “Move CRNC Forward” team.

McCaslin, who was first elected midterm as Vice-Chairman of TCR after the previous Vice-Chairman resigned due to a controversy stemming from his sexual orientation, gave a speech which slandered Schriver’s opponents, calling them “nerds and fags”. McCaslin also implies that his loyalty to Schriver’ team stemmed from a CRNC event in which Schriver and McCaslin used alcohol as a means to participate in unspecified sexual activities with unnamed females in College Republicans.

How proud SMU must be!

The job of Vice Chair of the Texas College Republicans is open.  The qualifications appear to be higher than the average Republican congressman.

Juanita thinks we should parachute Rev. Terry Jones into the heart of Afghanistan buck nakkid with “The Quran Stinks” tattooed on his butt and a “Where Are The Wild Women?” party hat.

Jones is the Florida yahoo who threatened to burn Qurans on September 11th.  After he quit getting headlines about it, he went ahead with his plans last month.

After a six-hour trial on Sunday that featured a Christian convert from Islam as a prosecuting attorney and a Dallas imam as a defense lawyer, a jury of 12 church members and volunteers made the judgment, Jones said.

He said the punishment — burning the book after it had been soaked in kerosene for an hour — was determined from four choices on his organization’s Facebook page. He said “several hundred” were polled and voted for burning over shredding, drowning and facing a firing squad.

“Okay,” Juanita asks, “can we get those choices for Jones?  If not, how about shredding, laughing at, or – the worst punishment for him of all – a media blackout?”

So, USA Today gave Jones the attention he so desperately wants and the result was predictable.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan officials say eight people were killed at a United Nations office in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif when a protest turned violent in response to a reported Quran-burning in the United States. At least two of those killed were beheaded, Reuters reported.

You know, there has got to be a real special place in hell for Jones.

People willing to let innocents suffer for their beliefs are evil.  That’s all there is to it.

Do y’all remember those black helicopters that Janet Reno had to take us all to re-education camps so Bill Clinton could be President forever?  Remember?

Well, Texas own very special Congressvarmint Louie Gohmert, whose slogan is “Keeping Paranoia Alive!”, has an even better one.

The President of the United States of America Barack Obama has a secret army who is coming to your house …. and get ready for this … they are highly likely to force good health on you, dammit.  Yeah.  That’s it.  A secret Army.

Poor Louie.  He’s been sloshing in the Wacko Juice again.

On the upside, he is, after all, the sanest man in East Texas.

Okay, Cowgirls and their lovin’ Beaus, if the line out the door is causing the site to run a little slow this morning, it’s because Crooks and Liars and a couple of other blogs picked up the Craig Brady story, and half the United States of America is trying to get into the beauty salon this morning.  And I don’t want to be cranky about this, but I seriously doubt any of them has a standing appointment.

I suspect they thought that I just made up a picture of a grown man posing like that as an April Fool’s joke.  But, I didn’t.  I could not make that up.  Seriously.  I’m pretty darned prissy, but not even in my dreams ….

So, try to be polite to the visitors.  I need to tell you that Thelma figures this is her best chance to ever meet George Clooney, so she’s walking up and down the line with her autograph book.  Just ignore her.  I mean, as much as you can ignore a 280 pound woman in leopard tights and a hot pink tube top.  And, by the way, her attitude weighs more than her hiney so do not hack her off.  Consider yourself warned.
