2 – 4 – 6 – 8 Who Can Commiserate

Oh dear.

Today I learned that our last two Texas Governors both carried a 2.5 GPA in college.  That’s shocking!  I cannot believe that did that well.

The Texas Tribune relived Perry’s college days today.  They also provided this treat:

Thanks Alec and Mayfly for the heads-up.


A Real Texan

Thanks to Kary and Carol for this gem.

Carol adds, “I agree, Daisy Duke could pull it off but not many can.”

Newt the Twit(ter)

We should have seen this coming.  It’s not like Newt hasn’t fluffed himself up before now.

It seems that Gingrich was hogging all the stoopid by announcing that he’s the single most popular guy on Twitter.

“I have six times as many Twitter followers as all the other candidates combined, but it didn’t count because if it counted I’d still be a candidate; since I can’t be a candidate that can’t count.”

Yeah, he’s probably drinking again.

Anyway, he claims he has 1,325,842 followers, and the other guys have yet to crack 100,000.

Whoop-te-doodle-do.

Well, come to find out, most of his Twitter followers were bought from a firm who makes that sort of ego-inflating syrup.

Newt, Dude, lay down.  You’re dead.

Here’s the Deal

I’ve been doing this website thing since about 1995. No kidding.

During this time, though the miracle of modern journalism, you guys don’t know when I travel. I just keep posting with my laptop. There’s wifi everywhere.

Almost.

I’ve been traveling since last Thursday. I have discovered that there are some places in this country without wifi. Remote places. Like I’ve been to and am still going to.

My plan for this trip was to post with my iPhone using 3G. There are places without 3G. Damn. Also, I cannot tell you how hard it is to do long posts with that tiny little keypad.

So, first of all. Do not get to thinking you can break into my house. Marsha is staying at my house. She was a prison guard and a parole officer and she will hurt you. She is mean as ten acres of snakes.

Second, I know I’m making a lot of typos. I do not care. Seriously, I don’t.

Third, if I don’t post for a day, then I don’t post for a day. Ask for a refund.

Told Ya

I have often said that Republicans call President Obama a Muslim because they cannot call him the N word.

But, maybe they’ve found a suitable substitute.

Really guys? Really?

That’s your best shot?

Thanks to Brian for something to laugh at today.

Finally! The GOP Speaks the Truth

Tall David made a trip over to GOP.com today and found this at the top of the page.  Click the little one to get the big one.

Note the date.

Tall David says, “I called their phone and congratulated them on a new-found realism!”

I can second that!
