Okay, so it’s in Montana so nobody pays any attention to it.

Except us, your friendly beauty service technicians, who hear about all manner of crazy crap.

At the Montana GOP convention this weekend, there was an outhouse on wheels parked outside the Hilton Hotel labeled “Obama Presidential Library.”

But, that’s not all.

The outhouse was painted to look as though it had been riddled by bullets.

Inside, a fake birth certificate for Barack Hussein Obama made reference to the disproven controversy over the president’s origins. It was stamped “Bull––.” A graffito advised “For a Good Time call 800-Michelle (crossed out), Hillary (crossed out) and Pelosi (circled in red.)”

You can call our wimmen whores, Cowboy, but don’t you dare say “vagina.”

The Republican state party chairman said he wasn’t going to worry his pretty little head about it.

Thanks to Norma for the heads-up.

State GOP Chairman Will Deschamps of Missoula said he didn’t know who’d brought the outhouse, but dismissed it as “a sideshow.”

“It’s not something I’m going to agonize over,” he said. “Some of that stuff is not real good taste.  We do have a president of the United States, and we have to honor that.”

Ya think?

Michigan State Representative Lisa Brown was censored and not allowed to speak on the House floor for 48 hours because she said a dirty word out loud – she said “vagina.”

Maude Lebowski: Does the female form make you uncomfortable, Mr. Lebowski?

The Dude: Uh, is that what this is a picture of?

Maude Lebowski: In a sense, yes. My art has been commended as being strongly vaginal which bothers some men. The word itself makes some men uncomfortable. Vagina.

The Dude: Oh yeah?

Maude Lebowski: Yes, they don’t like hearing it and find it difficult to say whereas without batting an eye a man will refer to his dick or his rod or his Johnson.

The Dude: Johnson?

Republican men really need to get over themselves.

Ron Paul and his merry band of Looneytarians are threatening to take over the Republican National Convention.

And what fun would that be!

I saw a headline the other day that said, “Ron Paul Delegates Are Revolting!”  Hummm … is that an adjective or a verb?

I have my serious doubts about them causing trouble at the GOP convention.  I do.  For the most part, they are immature and too damn lazy to do much of anything.  That’s why the “Ron Paul Revolution” never got off the ground.  A revolution requires organizing and these guys are loners living in a cabin in the woods.  If they could actually get along with other people, they wouldn’t be Libertarians.

Republicans are Libertarians with a few social skills, less erectile dysfunction, and a whole lot of JesusHollerin’.  Libertarians are 50 year old men who make fart jokes and laugh like the dickens –  while they are alone.  You know, I might be wrong about that erectile dysfunction.  I kinda think both of them have that.  Fortunately, they have women who don’t mind.

I am not counting on a big fight at the GOP convention.  But, I hope I’m wrong.  I really do.

Headline:  Not Christian Enough? Job Seeker Sues Company for Asking When He Was ‘Saved’

A Mr. Edward Wolfe of Lincoln, Nebraska, filed a complaint with the EEOC.

His first interview went well, but in a second interview with the branch manager, he told lawyers, he was questioned about his religious practices and beliefs.

According to the complaint, the manager asked Wolfe “to identify every church he has attended over the past several years; where and when [he] was ‘saved’ and the circumstances that led up to it.”

In the interview, Wolfe claims he was told most employees at Voss were Southern Baptist, but employees could go to any church, as long as they were “born again.”

Mr. Wolfe was also asked if he minded coming in early without pay for Bible Study.

I wonder what they are studying up on.

Thanks to MB for the heads up.

Seriously, there is.

Okay, so I know you wouldn’t go brain surgeon shopping there, but this takes the cake.

The head of a Tea Party group in north-central Arkansas said a group leader who told a racist joke at a rally last week stepped down.

Richard Caster, the founder of the Ozark Tea Party, told HuffPost that Inge Marler, a member of the group’s steering committee, has left her position following an ice-breaker she told prior to a speech at a June 9 rally.

But, there’s really no reason to get upset about it.  “She is a gray-haired elderly lady, and I did not want to go up and yank her off stage,” said the founder of the Ozark Tea Party.

Ms. Marler, the elderly, grey-haired lady in question, said she found the racist joke on the internet and was just using it as “an icebreaker.”

Well, shoot, that makes it okay, because, hell, Honey, there’s ain’t no racists in the Ozarks.

Look, I don’t care is she’s Methuselah’s grandmother on meth, there’s no excuse for being a racist, I don’t care how thick the ice is.

And, as to be expected, Inge is a member of the Twin Lakes Republican Party, another place you would not shop for a brain surgeon.

Thanks to Sharon for the heads-up.

Houston janitors, members of the Service Employees International Union, are on strike in Houston.

For good reason.

Janitors who clean Houston’s office buildings are paid less than $9,000 a year—less than half the poverty level.  Their working conditions are deplorable and they’ve been threatened and harassed. They work cleaning up after  for major corporations like Chevron, Exxon Mobile, Centerpoint Energy and Reliant.

So companies with CEOs making obscene paychecks are maximizing corporate profits on the backs of the working men and women of America who clean up their messes.  There is something so damn shameful, unAmerican and humiliating in the eyes of a just and loving God about this behavior that I cannot even think about it without hollering.

These are honest Americans doing an honest day’s work, making half the poverty level.  Even if both parents work, their children still live in poverty.  This is not the America I love.

These are corporations who are also in cahoots with Republicans to get out of paying their fair share of taxes.  They are also making middle America – you and me – help maximize their profits by sticking us with the bill for the social services and child health care for the children of these hard working Americans.  Their jobs do not include health insurance for family members, so their children need state aid and free school lunches.

Because I am not a Republican, I cannot bare to see a child with strep throat or pneumonia go untreated and die because they cannot get healthcare.  I understand that they are just children of working parents, and therefore not important like fetuses, but I cannot let them suffer and die like Republicans appear to be able to.  So, I will pay my taxes and their corporate profits will continue to soar because I am taking care of their workers.

That is why I cannot understand why anyone making under $250,000 a year would ever, ever vote Republican.  Don’t you see that they are bleeding you dry?  They expect you to pay for their worker’s children because they want bigger, more grotesque profits.

If you work hard at an honest job, you ought to be able to live above the poverty level.  A person working full time should not be shamed into needing public assistance.  There should be honor in a job well done.  This is damn America.

I am anxious to see the corporate big wigs have to clean up after themselves.  Maybe a few days of restroom duty will convince them that janitors are admirable people and should be treated with respect.

Sadly, however, I doubt it.    They look down their noses at anybody who actually works.

I stand with my brothers and sisters of SEIU.  Their work has dignity.  It is honorable.

This is America, dammit.
