Damn You, Kwanza!

January 06, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Because some people just really resent that they can’t say the N word anymore, they have to find other ways to be a son of a motherless goat.

Wisconsin state Senator Glenn Grothman (R) has launched a new war on Kwanzaa, claiming it is a fake holiday invented by racist radicals who want to “divide America.”

Kwanzaa is a holiday celebrated by “left wing nuts” because “they don’t like America and seek to destroy it.”

Kwanza Expert Glen Grothman

I guess now would not be the time to remind Glen Grothman that Kwanzaa is celebrated on the 7 principles of unity.

Grothman is also resentful that he can’t say chick or gal anymore. In supporting  Scott Walker’s repeal of the equal pay law …

A Republican lawmaker in Wisconsin has an eyebrow-raising theory for the chasm between men and women’s salaries: Men care more about money.

Do you want to know why that is?  Of course you do.

“Take a hypothetical husband and wife who are both lawyers,” Grothman told the website. “But the husband is working 50 or 60 hours a week, going all out, making 200 grand a year. The woman takes time off, raises kids, is not go, go, go. Now they’re 50 years old. The husband is making 200 grand a year, the woman is making 40 grand a year. It wasn’t discrimination. There was a different sense of urgency in each person.”

And if you’re a single woman with a family or a man who wants to help raise his children, then you are seriously screwed up and probably voted for the Kwanza.

Thanks to Dan in Wisconsin for the heads up.

Hell, For a Million Dollars, I’ll Say Nice Things About Damn Near Anybody

The best part about former Texas Congresscheater Dick Armey is that he won’t stay bought.

As the boys at Freedom Works have learned, you can buy him but you don’t get a receipt.  After his armed coup at Freedom Works failed, Cancer Treatment Centers of America founder Richard J. Stephenson agreed to pay Armey $400,000 a year for 20 years just for Armey to leave and go away.  Armey claimed that with this buy out, he;ll never have to work again.  Except for his mouth – he’ll keep working that.

What did Freedom Works get for its $8 million buy-out of Dick’s contract? They got Dick.

Former FreedomWorks chairman Dick Armey revealed that the Tea Party group paid Glenn Beck about $1 million to say “nice things” about the group on his radio show, and that it got a negative return on that investment … It’s the latest strange revelation in the FreedomWorks civil war. Armey reportedly tried to stage an armed coup last fall, but his reign didn’t last long, and donor Richard J. Stephenson agreed to pay Armey $400,000 a year for 20 years to go away. Apparently that didn’t come with a non-disparagement clause.

And he also says FreedomWorks paid Rush Limbaugh to talk some sweet about them.

It appears that Armey is going to take his 15 minutes of fame in sound bites.

Pass the popcorn.  It ain’t my bull being gored.

Thanks to Rick for the heads up.

The Daily Louie

Y’all, Louie Gohmert is headed for Comedy King status.

He went on the electric radio again.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) argued that House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) was functionally equivalent to Pelosi because both held one-on-one backroom negotiations with the president. Gohmert then went on to deride Pelosi’s appearance: “Well, let’s give him credit. There’s no facelift with John Boehner.”

I wouldn’t be so sure about that, Louie.

Thanks to Brian C and Beth for the heads up.

Two Year Old Stuff Does Not Count as NEWs

January 05, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

About 50 people have emailed me to let me know that Tom DeLay is going to prison.  It has apparently spread all over the internet machine.

Well, duh.  That happened two years ago.  I was there.  We even had a party the night before.  I saw that sniveling little man stand before the judge and give unsworn testimony that he was not whining (he had to say that 3 times) but that Nancy Pelosi, Patrick Kennedy and Ronnie Earl made him do this.  The little coward clutched his Bible to his chest but wouldn’t take an oath to tell the truth.

The best I can figure is that somebody at the Huffington Post accidentally re-posted the two year old story and it caught fire.

The case has been on appeal for two years.  Tom DeLay is begging money for his legal defense fund.  The money is being handled by Brent Perry, the son of Bob Perry of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth fame.

Tom’s dancin’ body is puffy now and his home for foster children – built mainly with Bob Perry money to make Tom look good before his trial – was a complete failure and after a year of sitting empty, it has been turned over to another charitable organization.  Tom quit caring about foster children when he didn’t need to hide behind them any more.

I see him around every now and then.  He still ain’t speaking to me.

And, Kids, That’s Why We Say He’s Dumber Than a Sack of Hammers

Louie Gohmert.

Okay, I just say those two words as a warning to remove any sharp objects in your vicinity and deadly credit cards.

It’s hammers, y’all.

Appearing on the Dennis Miller Show, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) told guest host Larry O’Connor that he “refuse[s] to play the game of ‘assault weapon.’ That’s any weapon,” said the Texas congressman. “It’s a hammer. It’s the machetes.”

That’s just the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

Dennis Miller has a show.

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.

Oh yeah, back to Louie.

I refuse to play the game of “assault weapon.” That’s any weapon. It’s a hammer. It’s the machetes. In Rwanda that killed 800,000 people, an article that came out this week, the massive number that are killed with hammers.

Yeah, it’s them hammers 10 feet away with a 30-hit clip that’ll get ya.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Responsible Gun Ownership in Texas

Here’s how one Texan expresses his feelings over the Dallas Cowboy’s lousy season.

As a reaction to the Cowboys’ disappointing season, one Dallas fan decided to “Get the %^#* off my Romo jersey” by sticking it in a washing machine filled with explosives, then firing a rifle at it. (It took him a few shots to hit the target.)

Yep.  And you can see it happen right here.

Stolen with no excuse and even less regret from Harold Cook.
