Okay, so there’s this bald old white guy named Robert E Murray, who is a coal baron.  He’s the guy who made his employees stand behind Mitt Romney for a speech and then didn’t pay them for their time.

Murray is also not real careful about what he puts in our air and our water.

But, dammit, he loves Jesus.

And we know he loves Jesus because he said a prayer before firing people – you know, right before Little Baby Jesus’ birthday party.  Because now, right now this minute, money is just falling our of his pockets since Obama got re-elected in a darn landslide.

I’m gonna have to put the whole prayer here so if you hear laughter from the sky, you’ll know where it came from.

Dear Lord:

The American people have made their choice. They have decided that America must change its course, away from the principals of our Founders. And, away from the idea of individual freedom and individual responsibility. Away from capitalism, economic responsibility, and personal acceptance.

We are a Country in favor of redistribution, national weakness and reduced standard of living and lower and lower levels of personal freedom.

My regret, Lord, is that our young people, including those in my own family, never will know what America was like or might have been. They will pay the price in their reduced standard of living and, most especially, reduced freedom.

The takers outvoted the producers. In response to this, I have turned to my Bible and in II Peter, Chapter 1, verses 4-9 it says, “To faith we are to add goodness; to goodness, knowledge; to knowledge, self control; to self control, perseverance; to perseverance, godliness; to godliness, kindness; to brotherly kindness, love.”

Lord, please forgive me and anyone with me in Murray Energy Corp. for the decisions that we are now forced to make to preserve the very existence of any of the enterprises that you have helped us build. We ask for your guidance in this drastic time with the drastic decisions that will be made to have any hope of our survival as an American business enterprise.

Amen.

Dude, that there is some hard down dirty gall.  You probably get a prize for that much gall.

Okay, so when you carve something in stone, maybe it’s good to have a proofreader.

For some unknown reason, the Ten Commandments were installed on the grounds of the Oklahoma State Capitol.  Maybe they’ve been misbehaving again.  I dunno.

What I do know is that they still can’t spell.

Sabbeth?  Really?

Really, Oklahoma?

Thanks to MB for the heads up.

I am so sad to tell you this, but unpack the car on Black Friday and go back home.  There’s no good shopping in Arizona this year.

A gun shop in Arizona has a clear message to would-be customers who happened to vote for President Barack Obama: take your business elsewhere.

Southwest Shooting Authority in Pinetop, Ariz. took out an advertisement last week in the local newspaper, the White Mountain Independent, that spelled out the store’s new policy in explicit terms.

“If you voted for Barack Obama your business is not welcome at Southwest Shooting Authority,” the ad reads. “You have proven that you are not responsible enough to own a firearm.”

I guess all that’s left is the MoMA gift catalog.  Sorry, loved ones, no Arizona ammo in your stocking this year.

Thanks to Rick for the heads up.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

The best time a body can have is when the Texas Legislature is in session.  There’s people who make a living following crazy bills in the Lege.

I’m in for the long haul this session because this is one of the most promising crazy sessions we’ve had in a long time.

There’s Lyles Larsen, who filed HB 149, called the Texas Liberty Preservation Act and providing penalties for not taking this crap seriously.  Lyles, who is bright white but not bright brained, is confounded that Texans should follow the Supreme Court and the laws thereof and by gawd there’s this thing called  Posse Comitatus and this crap has to stop.

Lyle is suddenly upset about the stuff that suddenly got giant when a black man was elected President.  Twice.  In a damn landslide.

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Pub. L.No. 112-81) are inimical to the liberty, security, and well-being of the citizens of the State of Texas by violating:

(A)the Texas Constitution;

(B)the limits of federal power authorized by Article I, Section 8, United States Constitution;

Honey, Texas has the longest constitution in the whole damn United States of America.  A picture of it weighs five pounds.  Voters have amended it 474 times.  In some cases, breathing is a violation.

Second, nobody takes the Texas constitution seriously.  Hell, not even me and I’ve been here longer than Lyle.

It’s gonna be a fun session.

Thanks to Ralph for the heads up.
