You know, you’d think the Romney family had been beat up enough lately, but, Darlin’, if you think that you’re thinking real wrong.

Tagg Romney wants to replace John Kerry as the United States Senator from Massachusetts.

And you can understand how it is that he thinks he can win since the last Romney to run in Massachusetts as recently as November of last year got an impressive 37% of the vote.

This is the same Tagg Romney who said of President Obama after the second debate that he wanted “to jump out of [his] seat and … rush down to the debate stage and take a swing at him.”

That’s just what we need in the Senate to make it less contentious:  a Romney with a temper.

Thanks to David for the heads up.

I guess we should have seen this coming.

Texas Republican Senatecreep Ted Cruz told the GOP to stop reading the New York Times.   You know, pretending that most of them can read big words.

And that set me to pondering that the first step of any cult is to cut you off from reality.  I am semi-intelligent.  I can watch Fox News and come away with my values and ideals intact.  The same is not true for the followers of Ted Cruz.  If they are exposed to the New York Times, they will immediately vote for Hillary Clinton.  In medical and psychological terms this is called “stupid.”

But just cutting them off from the New York Times isn’t enough.  The Facebook is also a tool of the devil.

Just looking at pictures of your cat or what you had for dinner is far too tempting a lifestyle for Ted Cruz’s Teapartiers.  They now have their own Facebook.

Okay, there’s an upside.  I only have two Republican friends on Facebook, and now they can go post their crazy crap somewhere else.  It’s not that I fear it will pollute my mind, it’s just that I just hate knowing how many people will believe any damn lie that ted Cruz, the NRA, and GOP tells them.  And that Snopes has a liberal bias.

Thanks to EMoon for the heads up.

Do you know where we need more guns because there are not enough guns to keep it safe for people with guns?

At gun ranges in Texas.  That’s where.

Yep, we need armed guards at the gun range.

Only the Republican Party could find a way to get perverted in Omaha.

It seems that the Republican Lt. Governor of Nebraska has a bit of a problem with his  … uh, cornhusker.  Lt. Gov Rick Sheehy was carrying on with four women at once prior to his wife filing for divorce.

An investigation by The World-Herald discovered that Sheehy made 2,300 late-night telephone calls to the women on his state-issued cellphone, many of them long conversations held in the wee hours of the night.

Many of Sheehy’s long conversations with the women were held late at night or in the early morning hours. Sometimes, he would call more than one woman a night, sometimes three different women.

And none of them knew about the others.

One woman he frequently called, Dr. Theresa Hatcher of Bellevue, told The Associated Press that she and Sheehy had maintained a long-term relationship after they met at a convention of emergency responders in Texas in 2008. As lieutenant governor, Sheehy leads the state’s emergency management efforts, and Hatcher is an emergency room doctor.

“I thought I was the only one,” she said. “Apparently, I was grossly mistaken.”

Look, I do not care about him sparkin’ around with four different women because  2,300 cell phone calls is gonna give him a brain tumor the size of Detroit.  Unless, of course, he was using earphones so that both hands would be free to … uh, cornhusk.  If that is the case, then the doctor girlfriend should implant his cell phone in his patootie so he can really butt dial.

Republicans:  using their state issued cell phones to screw everybody on speed dial.

The Big Bloody Blob of the NRA has eaten Senator Lamar Alexander.

Lamar Alexander: Affected for sure

“I think video games is a bigger problem than guns, because video games affect people,” he told host Chuck Todd.

That is very cool.  I did not even know that stuff.

So, here’s my deal.  Come on over to my house.  From 2:00 – 3:00, I will give you a video game to play.  From 3:05 until 3:05 and a half, I will shoot you with a gun.

Then you get to tell me which one affected you the most.

Thanks to Ralph for the heads up.

I think Republicans are trying read hard not to be stupid so that Bobby Jindal won’t call them out on it.

But he didn’t mention blabbering, and The National Review leads the way.

Eliana Johnson wrote an editorial criticizing President Obama for using the term “senseless violence”  in describing the Holocaust.  Of course, more than a few people cringed.

So then she wrote a crazy editorial defending her first editorial from those who wondered why she thought violence made sense.

The hysterical reaction elicited by my post underscores precisely the point I intended to make–that the notion, now deeply ingrained on the left, that violence is by definition senseless and incomprehensible poses an enormous impediment to understanding the world and the forces at work in it.

Being an editorial writer is a hard job because it’s not knowing what to write that’s important.  It’s knowing when to shut up. If Ms. Johnson’s editorial makes sense to you, you need to put down the bong and the beer can.

It appears in her attempt to demonize the left that Ms. Johnson has some ‘splainin’ to do about the sense behind a man going into the schoolhouse and shooting little children.

I’m just giving y’all the heads up that babbling is the new stupid.

Thanks to Robert for the heads up.
