Stephen has given me permission to share his excellent letter to the editor:

According to Sarah Palin government should stay out of our refrigerators (her response to NYC’s attempt to ban large-size sugary sodas). However, it is permissible, according to conservatives, for government to invoke policies concerning a woman’s vagina. It appears that conservative parameters for government intrusion are defined by temperature levels.

Thank you to our brothers who stand with the hooter toters.

Heir Apparent George P Bush, the son of a Bush –  Jeb, has put considerable thought into where to spread the Bush Dynasty.

He picked Texas.

He ain’t even from here.  But he has met “hundreds” of Texans.

In the video, Bush describes spending recent months traveling the state and having hundreds of conversations with Texans — but says he kept returning to the advice of his grandmother, former first lady Barbara Bush, whom he calls “Ganny.” Bush says she taught him the importance of public service.

And what’s he running for?  Why, Land Commissioner, of course.  The land commissioner administers state-owned lands and mineral resources.  And —

… the General Land Office plays an important part in veterans’ affairs while also overseeing investment in the Permanent School Fund, which administers funding to public school districts around Texas.

And that means he can give Permanent University Funds and Veterans’ Land Board accounts to his friends. He can help secure oil leases on Texas’ public lands for friends who want to look for oil.

Yep.  That’s certainly a job you’d want a Bush in.

And he’s running behind Gammy’s skirts because she’s the only Bush  with a higher approval rating than toad frog soup.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Paul Ryan with a little so-called slip of the tongue.

“This to us is something that we’re not going to give up on, because we’re not going to give up on destroying the health care system for the American people.”

Thank ya, Big Guy, but we knew it all along.

Dan Patrick (not the sport announcer) is Texas State Senator and Radio Talk Show Host.

It is said around the Capitol that Dan has an attention deficit disorder, and that’s why he tries to get so much of it.

Second Only to God

Patrick wrote a book entitled, “The Second Most Important Book You Will Ever Read: A Personal Challenge to Read the Bible.” People were a little surprised that he put himself below God, but were reassured to know that he’s still way above Hawthorne,  Melville or Twain.

Dan’s latest camera grabber is this one.   Dan wants private schools, who can recruit and give scholarships based on athletic ability, to be able to compete in UIL sanctioned sports.

A Texas Senate panel has endorsed letting private schools join the University Interscholastic League for all sports and activities except football and basketball.

Tuesday’s vote by the Senate education committee sends the bill to the full Senate for consideration. The measure by Sen. Dan Patrick, a Houston Republican, is the latest effort to let private schools into the UIL, which has been rejected by lawmakers in previous years.

Public schools have resisted allowing private schools into the UIL over fears of recruiting for sports. Patrick has compared the separation to the era of racial segregation.

In case you missed the last sentence, I’m gonna read it out loud to you.  “Patrick has compared the separation to the era of racial segregation.”

Yeah Dan, just like it.  Exactly like it.

Thanks to Web for the heads up.

I want to leave this alone, but I can’t.  I just can’t.

Sarah Palin is writing another book, which means that she might have just finished the one she wrote last time.

HarperCollins has announced Palin’s book, titled “A Happy Holiday IS a Merry Christmas,” will be released in November, according to the Associated Press.

The book will reportedly focus on returning the Christmas holiday back to its religious purpose and downplaying the commercialism that has come to define it.

It will also hit on the popular conservative theme of secular America’s so-called “War on Christmas.”

I have no idea what “A Happy Holiday IS a Merry Christmas” means and I also have no idea why she feels the need to sell books on Little Baby Jesus’s cradle, but I guess it takes what it takes to make money after even Fox News fires you.  Them fingernails ain’t gonna manicure themselves.

By the way, Going Rogue is now selling for a penny.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

In the first case of a hooker having to pay for services, Hannah Giles, the “pretend” pavement princess in the ACORN sting, has had to fork over $50,000 in the lawsuit against her.

Hannah has a local connection.

However, she will always have the Congressional Resolution honoring her by Republican Congressman Pete Olson.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.
