It’s Not Too Late for Valentines Day UPDATE: Link Fixed!

The good-ole boys and girls at the Republican National Committee have solved your problem of forgetting to send your sweetie a Valentine.  You can sign up to have one of their Valentines emailed to your honey.

It’s the perfect Republican solution:  cheap and cold hearted.

Here’s an example of what they think would warm your honey’s heart —

I think that’s supposed to be funny, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Thanks to OldMayfly for the heads-up.

And He’s Gonna Get Some Book Learnin’ This Time

Rick Perry says he’s thinking about running for President again – in 2014.  Okay, I just made up that 2014 part but you almost believed it, didn’t you, because Rick Perry is that dumb.

But I did not make up the part where he thinks that if he could learn to debate, he could govern.  The problem is – you can’t fix stoopid.

“I tell people it was by far the most exhilarating thing that I’ve ever done,” said Perry in an interview conducted during last week’s Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.

Honey, walking and chewing gum at the same time is exhilarating for you.

You know how Judge Beiry made Texas look good?  Well, this is the yang.

Thanks to Julie for the heads up.

I Love You, Fred Biery

When Newt Gingrich talks about out-of-control federal judges, he often calls the name of Texas Federal Judge Fred Biery.

Judge Biery held that the Constitution does not permit a public school district to sponsor a student-led prayer at graduation, and for that, Gingrich has spurred the Steeple People to rained down hellfire and brimstone wrath on the good Judge.

The Super DeLux Brand Christians believe Judge Biery to be the devil incarnate.  Fortunately, the parties to the lawsuit settled through mediation.

Judge Biery had the last word. He issued a “personal statement” along with the settlement. (The writ twits among us might want to read the entire thing.)

Judge Biery wrote —

To the United States Marshal Service and local police who have provided heightened security: Thank you.

To those Christians who have venomously and vomitously cursed the Court family and threatened bodily harm and assassination: In His name, I forgive you.

To those who have prayed for my death: Your prayers will someday be answered, as inevitably trumps probability.

To those in the executive and legislative branches of government who have demagogued this case for their own political goals: You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Hummm … there’s only one member of the Executive Branch who demagogued this religious stuff, but he’s safely back home in Austin under Anita’s watchful eye.

And finally, the reason I flat out totally dead solid perfect love Judge Fred Biery:

Any American can pray, silently or verbally, seven days a week, twenty four hours a day, in private as Jesus taught or in large public events as Mohammed instructed.

Dude, that’s a pile of good stuff.

Happy Valentines Day

Frost My Butt

February 13, 2012 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Talk about Frosting my butt.

I know I should quit reading Martin Frost. It just makes me think that maybe Tom DeLay did do something nice for the Democratic Party – he helped us get rid of Martin Frost. Having even one single nice thought about Tom DeLay would make my hair fall out. I am sure of it. So, I have to quit reading Martin Frost.

For those of you from foreign states, Martin Frost was a congressman from Dallas who got slaughtered during the DeLay redistricting in Texas by Pete Sessions. Frost decided he could win by running away from the Democratic Party. He tried, like other Blue Dogs, to be Republican Lite. They got beat so bad they had to unzip their pants to see out.

The only two who survive to this day from DeLay’s sucker punch to white, male Democrats are Gene Green and Lloyd Doggett – the two who had the courage to stand for something other than just election. They are both unapologetic progressives.

But, back to Martin Frost.

In Politico, Frost wrote something called “Obama’s Religion Problem.”

I need to start with a disclaimer: I want President Barack Obama to be reelected, no matter whom the GOP nominates.

Having said that, I find disquieting parallels between the way Obama handled the recent dust-up with the Catholic Church and contraception and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process a year ago, when he talked about returning to pre-1967 borders.

Both these self-inflicted wounds involved important voting blocs crucial to his reelection Consider, the difference between carrying the Catholic vote — as he did with 52 percent in 2008 — and losing it would be significant in swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin.

His opening statement tells us that he most certainly wants to reelect President Obama, but from reading the rest of the article, for the life of me, I cannot figure out why. Frost reminds me of the so-called Christians who have to remind you every five minutes that they are Christians because you sure can’t tell it by the way they act. If Martin Frost is for a president who puts politics before policy, then he needs to scamper on over to the GOP where he has been tottering for decades instead of trying to pull Democrats into the waiting arms of conservatism.

President Obama’s genius in solving the Catholic contraception issue is what happens when a leader has an open mind and is willing to lead. I heard a rabid feminist and a Catholic Nun praise President Obama on the same day with the solution. What women and Catholics see as government working to solve issues, Martin Frost sees as a self-inflicted religious wound.

My friend, Texas Gulf Coast Democratic media mogul and emailer, Carl Whitmarsh, keeps 10,000 area Democrats informed every day. He dutifully sends Frost’s weekly column from Politico to us. I want him to continue to do that so that I can have the exquisite pleasure of hitting the delete button when I see Frost’s name.

Thank you for your help in insuring that Mitt Romney never makes his dog ride on the roof of the car again.
