Battling Bibles

May 11, 2012 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

We have a Republican primary race for the United State senate that’s getting testy.

Now they’re hitting each other with Bibles.

Yesterday, David Dewhurst announced that Mike Huckabee endorses him

Today, Ted Cruz announced that – ta! da! – Sarah AND Todd Palin endorse him.  Must be that whole men giving the family the worldview thingy that Bristol talks about.

Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, and her husband, Todd, sent a letter endorsing Cruz in response to a request. “Your conservative principles, passionate defense of our Constitution and our free market system come at a time when these cornerstones of our freedom and prosperity are under attack,” she wrote.

There are 4 candidates in this race.  Most polls show Cruz in fifth place.

Thanks to David for the heads-up.

The Mother of All Irony

Bristol Palin, bless her heart, now writes a column for some wacky rightwing website.

She was shocked, shocked, I tell you that President Obama was for non-traditional marriages because, well, duh, traditional marriage has worked out so well for her.

Read this slowly because I feel sure that she had to write it slowly —

… we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home.  Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview.

So, Bristol, Honey, your child …..

Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking.

Bristol, Honey, your child …..

In the article, she makes fun of the President for listening to his “teenage” daughters on this subject.

I guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren’t younger, or perhaps today’s press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox.

Bristo Palin is a mature and world wise 21 year old.

Thanks to Ralph for the heads-up.

Our Lady of Sorrows. Really?

The boys at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic High School in Arizona might want to change their name to Our Lady of Everlasting Virginity.  Those boys ain’t ever gonna get laid.

Mesa Preparatory Academy and Our Lady of Sorrows (no, I did not make up that name) were set to play in the state high school baseball championship this week.  But, there was an insurmountable horror:  Mesa Prep had a – prepare yourself – girl playing second base on their team.  A real, live girl.

So, Our Lady of Sorrows made the principled decision to forfeit the game rather than play against a team with a  girl.

At least, that’s their story.

Our Lady of Sorrows, a fundamentalist Catholic school in Phoenix that lost twice to Mesa Prep during the regular season, chose to forfeit the championship game rather than play a team fielding a female player.

Chickens.

Her teammates have stood up for her.

During Mesa Prep’s two previous games with Our Lady of Sorrows, Paige didn’t play out of respect for the opposing team’s beliefs, but that wasn’t going to be an option this time, Pamela said.

“We respected their school rule … but she took it hard,” Pamela said. “She didn’t like it and neither did her teammates. They went out and played the best they could because they wanted to prove a point.”

Mesa Prep is undefeated and the state champion, with a girl playing second base.

It ended with Our Lady of Sorrows forfeiting the game.

Like I said, those wussy boy at Our Lady of Sorrows ain’t never gonna get laid.

Thanks to Ralph for the heads-up.

Well, Honey, It Seems To Me That Thinking Things Through Has Always Been Your Main Problem

Just our luck – we get Michele Bachmann back from the Swiss.

Days after she joked with a Swiss television reporter about the prospect of running for office in Switzerland., U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann now claims that she is planning to withdraw her dual citizenship.

Oh crap, all those yodeling lessons  just wasted.  Marcus is not going to be happy when he gets the bill for that.

Thanks to everybody in the entire Juanita Universe for the heads up.
