Okay, kids, we must have been very good this year —

Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R) isn’t necessarily dismissing a future run to replace outgoing Sen. Jim DeMint, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday:

“It’s not a ‘no,’ but it’s not a ‘yes,’ ” Mr. Sanford said.

The “love guv” is best known nationally for the embarrassing disclosure in 2009 of an extramarital affair, after he was intercepted at the airport flying back from Argentina – after aides had claimed he was hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Oh y’all, this is way better than a pony.

Thanks to Sybil for the heads up.

Okay, a bunch of folks are banning together to make a community – here,  I’ll let them talk—

The Citadel is a developing community of Patriots in the mountains of Idaho who believe in Jefferson’s Rightful Liberty and have chosen to live amongst one another, who have sworn their Lives, their Fortunes and their Sacred Honor to defend one another and Liberty.

Oh, yes.  These guys are deadass serious.  So this looks like a prime location for all those Texans who want to secede.

The cornerstone of the Citadel is III Arms Company, an industry to support the first wave of Patriots who will become modern American Pioneers. We will build Fighting Arms and ammunition for Patriots and around us a town will begin to grow. Other revenue streams are already in the works. Our intent is to purchase at least one thousand acres, and construct a walled town of at least one square mile to withstand any potential violence from hungry, diseased Souls. Obviously the Citadel is not being built to defy any laws of the United States or the State of Idaho, or to withstand any .gov or .mil attack. Our fortifications are merely defensive for a SHTF world.

A hoard of deranged paranoid people locked inside a mile long wall with a bunch of guns.   Oh hell, what could possibly go wrong?

Thanks to Robert for the heads up.

I want y’all to meet Jeb Hensarling, a Republican congressman from the Texas 5th congressional district.  He ain’t terribly bright so that’s probably why you’ve never heard of him.

What, Me Worry Hensarling

Well, Jeb tried to take on Soledad O’Brien while she was committing journalism.  First  off, Jeb could not for the life of himself explain in simple English why he was against a tax cut for the middle class and why he wouldn’t go along on raising taxes on the richest 2%.

Soledad pointed out that was President Obama’s platform and he got elected on that platform and so maybe that’s what the people want.

Ole Jeb got his feathers ruffled up  on that one and spouted off ….

HENSARLING: The President won 51-49. He has an electoral college victory. It’s good enough to get him re-elected but not enough to give him a mandate.

Where did this 51-49 come from?

Ya know, as I recall, Obama’s victory was much larger than Dubya’s but Jeb thought Dubya had a mandate.  Maybe that was only in Texas.

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.

Public Policy Polling

49% of GOP voters nationally say they think that ACORN stole the election for President Obama. We found that 52% of Republicans thought that ACORN stole the 2008 election for Obama, so this is a modest decline, but perhaps smaller than might have been expected given that ACORN doesn’t exist anymore.

I’m telling you – it was unicorns and rainbows in a coalition with Big Foot.

Mitt Romney is walking around barefoot in his jammies, wimpering.  Karl Rove has been kicked out of the worst bar on earth – Fox News.  Dick Morris is lisping his way to nighty-night.  The Koch Brothers are having to answer to their heirs and Sheldon Adelson is still so ugly that your clothes wrinkle when you’re in his presence.

And it’s all ACORN’S fault, dammit.

Thanks to Ralph for the heads up.

Jim DeMint-ed is leaving the senate to become leader of the Heritage Foundation.   And all this time you thought that being a ultra conservation wacko Republican senator was rock bottom.  Silly you.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) will appoint DeMint’s successor, who will serve until a 2014 special election. That means two Senate races in the Palmetto State that year. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) — targeted by many of the conservatives who love DeMint — is up for reelection.

Okay, so here’s the deal.  With two Senate seats up in South Carolina in 2014, start figuring out a way we can deliver some good sense to South Carolina.  Hell, send it UPS if ya have to.

By the way, the President of the Heritage Foundation makes over one million dollars a year so I don’t think we can count on DeMinted wanting the rich to pay their fair share.

Thanks to TexasEllen and David for the heads up.

From ordained Baptist minister Mike Huckabee’s Facebook page.  Click the little one to get the big one.

While it is creepy that a so-called follower of Sweet Jesus would glorify meeting violence with violence, there is an even bigger worry.  We are told that Jesus will return like a thief in the night  (Thessalonians 5:2-4).  I hope Mike Huckabee doesn’t shoot him.

Over at Mike’s store Mike has a slogan. More conversation/ Less Confrontation.

Uh, obviously not.
