Ole Bubba and I are driving home from Austin. Talk amongst yourselves.

Who the hell does AIG think they are?

Why not more women on Obama’s cabinet?

What are you going to buy with your platinum coin?

I once considered becoming a hoochy-koochy dancer just so I could use the name Hub Caps.

But, State Rep Bill Zedler is trying his damnest to ruin all my fun .

[Zedler’s] latest bill, which would regulate “sexually oriented” businesses, in part by requiring strippers to obtain and wear a license to work.

Okay, big guy, I have a question: where is she supposed to wear this license?

Thanks to Brian C for the heads up.

Rick Perry is right now this minute speaking to the opening session of the Texas Senate.

About 2 minutes into his speech, Perry started bragging about how Texas doesn’t have to raise taxes. At that point, they interrupted Perry’s speech to ask if there was a doctor in the house. There was. It appeared that someone was in a desperate situation in the Senate.

Perry paused and asked people to pray for the sick person. After about 2 minutes, he started up speaking again and said, “See, talking about taxes makes people …. uh, swoon.” There were loud moans.

Good Lord Almighty. Is nothing – except taxes – sacred?

And, as a special added treat, Rick Santorum was on the floor of the Texas Senate today. As if we needed more dumb.

DebraLee Hovey, Republican State Representative in Newtown, Conn. is such a charmer.

The Republican lawmaker who represents Newtown in the Connecticut House of Representatives had some less than cordial words for former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who came to meet with grieving families last Friday.

“Gabby Gifford (sic) stay out of my towns!!” DebraLee Hovey wrote in a now-deleted Facebook post, which she filed while on vacation in St. Pete Beach.

She later apologized (kinda) . It should be noted that Giffords met privately with family members. But,of course, Hovey’s snit was very public.

There is a group who is calling for a rally on the Capitol steps at noon today.

They are the Texas Nationalists, folks who want to leave America – a country they claim to love.

And, ho boy, can they whine!

The TNM has attempted for months to obtain sponsorship for an OFFICIAL rally on the South Steps of the Capitol. However, due to the reluctance and hesitation of the “conservative” members of the Texas Legislature, the TNM and other groups that support Constitutional principles have been blocked out.

Instead, their foot dragging has allowed progressive groups to lock down the official rally space for January 8th. Rather than having Texans in support of Texas independence on the SOUTH steps, visitors to the Capitol will be treated to rallies held by groups that revere Van Jones and support illegal immigration.

We will not be deterred. We will be on the North side of the Capitol, exercising our right to peacefully assemble. We will be there as a visible sign that Texans are ready for freedom and independence and will stand against the destruction of our liberty.

And, as you may have heard, Van Jones is black. There’s a tad bit of difference between immigration reform and support of illegal immigration, but shades of black and white have no place in a damn revolution.

I’ll see if I can get a picture of the rebels. I’ll post it here if I get it.

My friend Glen Maxey got a picture of their tee-shirt.

He’s wondering what is across that line.

I found out this morning that AT&T has decided that the citizens of the State of Texas deserve to know what their Lege is doing. So, if you own their U-Verse package and live in Texas, you can tune to Channel 99 and watch the best comedy show in America.

If you don’t live in Texas, you won’t get to see it so when the revolution comes, you’ll have to hear about it from me.

Debbie Riddle is a shoe-in for best comedian. Dan Patrick? Do they have a category for Goofy Guy with a Chip On His Shoulder?
