Look, I’m gonna be honest here.  I grew up with only brothers – no sisters – and gave birth to only sons – no daughters.  As far as I know, there are two positions on a toilet seat – up or wet.

I have heard every weenie joke I care to hear, so like MeeMaw in the comment section, I was almost nauseated to hear that Anthony’s weiner is still headlining the news tonight.  How many ways can you say “lewd pictures?”  Apparently a lot.

Good Lord, I think news people are perverts.  What’s it gonna take to get that weiner off the headlines?  Two 911’s and a little girl down a well?

This world must be in great shape if Wolf Blitzer leads with “Anthony Weiner is still lewd.”

Anthony Weiner is a jerk.  I would not want to go on a  camping trip with him or even to a ballgame.  And, I sure wouldn’t shake hands with him because I do not know where that hand has been.   But, he didn’t do anything illegal.

Doesn’t Chile have some miners that need rescuing?

It rains teapots and coyotes when Rick Perry is around.

The American Conservative Union has discovered that their Executive Director has embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars.

And they are shocked, shocked I tell you.

Okay, so here’s a bunch of people looking for a political and moral philosophy that allows them to be greedy as hell, and then they are oh so surprised when some greedier person rips them off.

Diana Hubbard Carr, 56, of Alexandria, kept the books at the Alexandria-based American Conservative Union. She pleaded to a count of mail fraud in U.S. District Court.

Court documents say she took $120,000 to $400,000 over several years. The exact amount is a matter of dispute and will be determined at her sentencing Sept. 16, when she faces up to 20 years in prison.

She is the ex-wife of David Keene, who until this year had been the ACU’s longtime chairman. He was elected last month as NRA president.

Her ex-husband is the NRA president?  Well, I imagine she got tired of clipping coupons for ammo, so she decided to steal and pay retail.

You know what I’m really mad about?  He made Andrew Breitbart look like a truth teller.

But, the upside is that nobody will ever use that goofy word “certitude” again.

Rick Perry is having a Prayapolooza just 20 miles from where I’m sitting.

Officially titled “The Response, a Call to Prayer for a Nation in Crisis,” Perry’s Pray-n-Fast will take place in Houston and be “a non-denominational, apolitical Christian prayer meeting” featuring both governors and alt-governors (“Christian political leaders”).

Now, here’s the deal.  It has to be Pray-n-Fast because Perry’s too cheap to spring for food.  And I suspect the guy who can turn a basket of fish and bread into feeding a crowd would not be caught dead within a zillion miles of this event.

It’s gonna be held in Reliant Stadium. Here’s a picture of Reliant Stadium.  The Texans play there and , like Perry, they are not very good at what they do either.

But, I suspect this is a good place to have the Pray-n-Fast because just like football, this is an exhibition sport.

You know, if we could pray our roads fixed, our children educated, our airplanes landing safely, and Grandma’s failing eyesight to magically heal, I’d be there myself on my knees.  But, instead, Rick Perry and his corporate buddies will tell poor people that they don’t need health care if they have Jeeeesus, and education is nothing because the Bible has all the answers, and working from dawn to dusk seven days a week is what they should do because work honors God.  And then they’ll pass the plate for these folks to contribute to Perry’s Presidential run.

Matthew 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

Thanks to Elizabeth for the heads-up.
