I just wanted you to know that the last of plastic bags you guys bought for us went out this morning with block walkers in three neighborhoods.  We also have phone bankers still working and people putting out signs at the early voting locations.

We had 67 brave and good-lookin’  souls show up this morning and take poll watcher training and then spend the day working for the Democratic ticket.  You can only see part of the room in this photo because there were more folks behind me and more around the corner.

We are the Silver Democrats and we where the wild things are.

Thank you again to all you who contributed to the bags.

Personally, I think Phil Gramm is just trying to ease his soul by telling himself that all those people he stole money from with his economic schemes really aren’t suffering.

Phil says that Obama is going to win because poor people have it so good.

In 1980 and 1992, only 3% of the American labor force drew disability benefits from the government. Today it is 6%. The number of workers qualifying for disability since the recession ended in 2009 has grown twice as fast as private employment.

How would Presidents Jimmy Carter or George H.W. Bush have fared on their Election Day if 40% of the Americans who were unemployed had instead qualified for disability benefits? How would voters have reacted in 1980 or 1992 if food-stamp benefits had grown by 65% instead of an average of less than 25% during the first four years of their administrations?

During the past four years, the Obama administration’s aggressive promotion of the food-stamp program has increased the number of recipients by 18.5 million. Do these people feel the same level of discontent about economic conditions as the rest of the voting population?

Why is this man still walking around?  He’s a damn crook.

Phil Gramm: already in the handbasket

Let me explain something to Phil Gramm:  People are on food stamps because you screwed up the economy.

Phil Gramm is the major source of the economic tragedy this country has suffered, and now he’s whining because it’s Easy Street to be on Disability?  Phil Gramm could not live on Disability for a month.  Hell, Phil Gramm has shoes that cost more than a year’s worth of Disability.

You’re going to hell, Phil Gramm.  And you can whine there, too.

There’s a very popular Democrats running for Congress in Texas against a Republican incumbent who is, of freekin’ course, bringing Jesus into the race.

The Texas Tribune is covering the story.  Pete Gallego, the Democrat, is a heckuva great guy.  His opponent, Quico Canseco, is going to the far corner of hell in a parka and snow boots for all eternity.

Canseco up and decided to announce that he is being endorse by Jesus.  He even got Jesus to pose for a picture so he could use on a mailer.

Click the little one to get the big one.

Gallego, naturally, is mad.  Hell, even three Republicans who served with him in the Texas House are mad.  They don’t wanna to do that parka in hell thing.  Who can blame them?

So, if there’s a thunderstorm, do not stand near Quico Canseco.  Especially if it’s raining parkas and snowboots.

You all know about our serial felony voter fraud in Fort Bend County because I’ve been on it like a Republican on a tax loophole.  And the net is getting wider and wider with what how other local Republicans knew about it and thought it was cute.

So, here’s another case.  Virginia this time.

The Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia announced Thursday that it had arrested the man who allegedly tossed completed voter registration forms in a dumpster.

Police on Thursday arrested 31-year-old Colin Small, who was a voter registration supervisor employed by Pinpoint, an independent firm contracted by the Republican Party of Virginia.

Smith has been charged with four counts of destruction of voter registration applications, eight counts of disclosure of voter registration application, and one count of obstruction of justice.

Maybe that’s foreplay in Republican homes.

Thanks to Norma for the heads up.

So ole Tucker Carlson, who Jon Stewart took to the woodshed and whipped the dickens out of, is still the little whiny baby he’s always been.

Daily Caller founder Tucker Carlson continues to amaze me that anyone with common sense takes him seriously. He is now comparing Candy Crowley fact-checking Mitt Romney during the presidential debate at Hofstra University to John Wilkes Booth assassinating President Abraham Lincoln in 1865. Never mind the fact that Mitt Romney’s performance was horrible.

And how did Tucker manage to make that comparison?

“For most of the play, John Wilkes Booth set there politely, but it was the moment when he didn’t that made history,” Carlson explained, referring to Crowley’s fact check of Romney. “And I thought this was the definitive point in this debate.”

“This changed the debate, this is exactly what moderators are not supposed to do,” he added. “This is kind of serious. There’s only three weeks and we want to know what these guys are like and she prevented us from learning.”

Yep, Candy openly practiced journalism and that’s something Tucker has never done.

Thanks to Deb for the heads up.

For those of you who think space exploration is a waste of money, ha!  We just proved you wrong.

Shiny.  On Mars.  Cool.
