When nobody was looking, I semi-purposefully got myself elected to the Texas State Democratic Executive Committee.  There were a couple of times at my first meeting today, early on, that I wanted to get up and walk out, but this was not one of them.

The funniest man in Texas, Jim Hightower, came to talk about Texas politics in general and Rick Perry in particular.

I used my iPhone to take a movie and it will only let me put up 30 seconds at a time.

The first 30 seconds here

and then, the last 30 seconds

I’m gonna try to figure out how to post the whole danged speech if he comes again.

Thanks to Don A for the graphic.

Can I get an Amen?

Okay, so the woman who did not think “Bin Laden determine to strike within the US,” was even close to being a warning might be Vice President?

What’s she supposed to bring to the ticket?  More unpersonality?  Such a liar that she makes Mitt Romney look honest?  Another war or two?  Fond memories of the Bush foreign policy?  True confessions about that whole  George W Bush being her “husband” slip of the tongue?

Although I admit that watching Joe Biden eat her lunch at a debate would be more fun than recess in heaven, the thought of the first woman to hold the highest office in the land being Condi Rice makes my butt itch.

Anybody got any worse ideas?  Literally, is there any human on earth who could help the Romney ticket?  I mean living person – Mother Teresa is not available.

And don’t say Jeb Bush.  His last name is BUSH, forpetesake.

Seriously. There’s something seriously wrong with Texas Republican Congressvarmint Pete Sessions of Dallas. He is also the head of the National Republican Congressional Committee, the Republican politics arm of congress.

Take a look at what’s coming out of his mouth.

Washington (CNN) – The chief of the House Republicans’ campaign arm said Thursday it was “fair game” for people to ask for more information about GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s personal financial records.

“His personal finances, the way he does things, his record, are fair game,” Texas Republican Pete Sessions told CNN.

Well, it did seem a bit odd that a party who accuses a Democratic President of murder would get so bend outta shape about lying on SEC reports.

But, seriously, there is something in Pistol Pete’s brain doing him some good.

Can you even imagine in your head what would happen if someone said that Barack Obama should be proud of “playing games” with the United States of America?

The world’s second most out-of-touch man, Lindsey Graham, defended Mitt Romney’s off-shore tax-free bank accounts.

Mitt Romney shouldn’t be criticized for using off-shore tax havens because “it’s really American to avoid paying taxes, legally,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Tuesday …

“It’s a game we play,” Graham said. “Every American tries to find the way to get the most deductions they can. I see nothing wrong with playing the game because we set it up to be a game.”

Okay, those of us without a large room of lawyers sitting around figuring ways to not pay our fair share, do not have a ticket to The Game, dammit.

To be honest, I have been speechless for two days over this.  Me, speechless.  I know, impossible.
