Remember me telling you about the gun shows in Texas last weekend and the child discount on Christmas Eve eve?

That’s not the bottom.

If this isn’t the bottom, we’re are in for a weird Christmas.

Crockett Keller, owner of Kellers Riverside Gun Store near Austin, TX, announced on local radio show KRLD that he would start offering a discount for teachers who want to carry a concealed weapon after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut on Friday. Keller talked enthusiastically of the need to arm teachers.

He’s even offering them a discount from $110 to $90 for his certification class.

This ain’t Crockett’s first spin around the dance floor with insanity.  He’s been dancin’ for a while now.

Maybe the Mayans were right.  Who the hell wants to hang around to see if this gets worse?

I think I’ve already told you guys that east Texas is the 3P Capital of Texas:  Pines, Poverty, and Pentecostals.

But this time it’s the East Texas Southern Baptists.  Specifically, Green Acres Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas.

The pastor of that church, David Dykes, has taken his sweet patootie to Uganda to fight United States foreign policy of denying aid to that country until they stop their Kill The Gays campaign.

Rev. Dyke

I’m extremely upset that our state department is putting pressure on Uganda to recognize homosexual behavior. And I’m praying that Uganda will say, “We don’t want your money, America. It is blood money. It is sin money.” I hope that you will continue to stand strong on what the Bible defines as the definition of a real marriage.

In fact, Pastor Dykes (and yes, I get the irony) has promised that American churches will raise the money to replace the US aid money.  That’s fabulous, you know.  He does not say, however, if he will raise the money to pay for the gay funerals.

… In America, Christians are going to put as much pressure as we can on our government not to cut the aid to Uganda over this issue. But if they do decide to do that, we’ll let our displeasure be known, but we’ll try to step in as the Church in America to try to make up sending resources over here, especially to the churches. We hope to stand alongside the believers of Uganda during this time of crisis.

What crisis?  They aren’t killing gays fast enough?

Now comes the fun part.  Do you know what church Louie Gohmert belongs to and where he serves as a deacon?  Come on, guess.

Oh Sweet Jesus, Mike Huckabee, shut the hell up.

Fox News Host and former Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR) doubled down on his claim that the murder spree in Connecticut was caused by removing God from schools, linking the shootings to “tax-funded abortion pills” and society calling “sinful” acts “normal.”

Okay, here’s the deal.  From now on, any proclamations from Mike Huckabee must be followed by the political disclaimer of, “My name is Jesus and I did not approve this message.”

By the way, there is no such thing a “government funded abortion pills,” unless, of course, you count Mike Huckabee as a pill.

Thanks to Brian C for the heads up.

ABC news reports that gun dealers outnumber McDonald’s 9 to 1.

So, I have at least one more thing to say before I get back to being irreverent.

On Saturday, Bubba and I were cruising down Highway 59 outside of Houston and saw a large state highway digital sign giving the quickest route to the George R Brown Convention Center for the “High Caliber Gun Show.”   Less than 18 hours after the school massacre, traffic had to be rerouted to a high caliber gun show because it was backing up.

I wish I had gotten a picture of the highway sign but to be honest, Bubba and I were both so stunned that just driving and sucking air was all we could do.

I guess in honor of the school shooting, children under 12 get in free at the Christmas gun show.

You would think that good taste would cause them to close the high caliber gun shows for at least 24 hours.  That’s what you would think.  And, like me, you would be wrong.

I was so proud of our President last night.  He showed courage and wisdom.  I, for one, think we have had enough blood sacrifices to the NRA.

We the People, a petition site at the White House, says that it will publicly respond to any petition that gets 25,000 signatures in a month.

That, my friends, is a worthy challenge.

And America is up to the task.

Here ya go.  Secure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016.

By focusing our defense resources into a space-superiority platform and weapon system such as a Death Star, the government can spur job creation in the fields of construction, engineering, space exploration, and more, and strengthen our national defense.

Or, better yet, use it on states that want to secede.  Or the silent filibuster.

Use The Force, Luke.

Thanks to Rick for the heads up.

Sunday morning and Texas Congresswhacko goes on the electric television to argue that the answer to guns, of course, is more guns.  Which we know would work because more alcohol always cures a hangover.  Same deal, you know.

Gohmert argued that the mass slaughter would have gone differently if Sandy Hook principal Dawn Hochsprung had been armed.

“Chris, I wish to god she had had an m-4 in her office, locked up so when she heard gunfire, she pulls it out … and takes him out and takes his head off before he can kill those precious kids,” Gohmert said.

and then in the next breath, he says …

Gohmert argued Sunday that tighter gun controls such as assault weapon bans are not the answer.

“Once you start drawing the line, where do you stop?” Gohmert said. “That’s why it is important to not just look at this emotionally.”

Emotionally?  Did he say emotionally?  I certainly hope  that speaking on the Lord’s Day about asking an elementary school principal to take someone’s head off is an emotional response because if it isn’t, Louie Gohment quit being weird and funny and just crossed over to join hands with the killer in cold blooded psychopath.

And I do have an answer to where do you stop drawing the line.  Start drawing.  Assault weapons.  Stop  drawing.

I hear that after the show, Louie had to go wash the blood of the lambs off his hands.  Just a rumor.
