Thank you, President Barack Obama and the United States Navy Seals.

I saw Peggy Noonan on teevee this morning saying Yes, We Can.  I guess this election is over.

My son just called and said he didn’t think Osama is in hell yet.  “It takes a full 36 hours to fall that deep into hell.”

And Verdelia announced on her arrival a few minutes ago, “I’ll take my coffee this morning strong, black, and hot.  Just like my President.”

Y’all, all my peacenik friends – and Lord knows I have plenty of them and I love them to pieces and need them in my life – are telling me that I should not be rejoicing over the death of any soul, even bin Laden’s.

I know they are right.  I know that.  I know that revenge is the Lord’s.  I understand that intellectually and I wish I could always feel it in my heart.

But, sometimes turning the other cheek is asking too much of a mere mortal like me.  I’ve told y’all before that I am a woman of faith but that I have backsliding blisters all over my butt.

The people in the World Trade Center were innocent souls.  bin Laden was not.  I suppose that makes some kind of difference to me.  It doesn’t make it right, but it does give it some ethical base.

So, in honor of my peacenik friends, I will stop turning on the tv every fifteen minutes to check that Osama bin Laden is still dead.

I thought it was impossible to top the opposition website someone around here did on Dean Hrbacek.  You remember Dean, he Photoshopped his head on the slimmer body of his opponent while running for Congress.

My good friend at White’s Creek has found one even better.

Best Opposition Web Site Ever!

Every Lege session the Republicans have to have a “talk-dirty” bill.  You know, a bill where they can say the words “genitals” or “testicles” or “throbbing penis.”

They deeply need to say these words right out in the open with the proper disgust and horror put on the words.  No, I am not kidding about this.  Ask anybody who  has spent time around the Lege and they will tell you that everybody holds their breath until the Republicans get a talk dirty bill.

Bingo!

Get ready, here comes the money shot —

Last fall the Transportation Security Administration implemented a new pat-down procedure that includes a security worker running a hand up the inside of passengers’ legs and along the cheek of the buttocks, as well as making direct contact with the groin area.

Okay, so it’s not as good as the sexually oriented business bill, but times are tough all over. Butt checks will have to do this session.

Thanks to David for the heads up!

The Sugar Land ( home to Tom DeLay, McMansions, and other visual atrocities) has a Tea Party organization.  They are holding a debate among candidates for the city council and school board.

Except, we have no idea who “they” are.

It’s damn creepy.

Here’s their website.  Go anywhere on it, including the ABOUT US tab and you will find no names.  No names whatsodamnever. Anywhere.  Even the CONTACT US tab doesn’t say who “us” is.

I’m tempted to show up on Monday night to see if they wear white hoods over their heads.
