Thomas Lewis Edwards, Attorney at Law, decided that this internet advertising thing is a pretty good deal.

Until, of course, he got arrested.  (Click the little one to get the big one.)

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

You gotta wonder about this.  Truly, do they believe that saying “I voted against Obamacare 34 times” is going to get them more votes than if they vote against it just 28 times?   Is that the deciding factor on someone’s vote?   Is there someone in America who is saying, “I won’t vote for a congressman who votes against Obamacare under 30 times?

Didn’t we decide this in November?  Didn’t he become one of only 4 Presidents in the last century to win with over 50% of the vote?

The priest at Holy Family Catholic Church in Edinburg, Texas, was arrested this weekend.  He was caught on tape drilling holes in the tires of one of his former parishioners who went to the bishop to ask for help after Father Eusebio Martinez wanted to kiss him on the mouth.

Martin Villanueva says he left Holy Family and went to another church.

“I wrote a letter to the bishop,” Villanueva said. “It made me feel sad because he told me it wouldn’t be right for him to meet with me. Then he tells me only the  authorities that  can fix this situation. The church is very strong with lawyers so that’s why I decided to go to the media.

Next thing he knew, his tires kept getting drill holes.  A man of modest means, Villanueva finally set up a camera to catch whoever was doing it.  And there ya go, the priest.

I guess he wanted to drill Villanueve one way or the other.

And in Houston, there’s more.

A well-known Catholic teacher at St. Thomas High School has resigned after allegations of misconduct. Father Jack Hanna was been with the all-boys school since 1981.

“He has acknowledged that he behaved inappropriately and will be receiving extensive residential treatment at the facility. He has expressed deep regret for any harm caused by his behavior,” the statement said in part.

Since 1981?  That’s 32 years and nobody saw nothin’?  No smoke signals?

Gregory Rodriguez,  the host of the Sportsman Channel show “A Rifleman’s Journal,” lives in Sugar Land, Texas, which is close to where I live and has more God, Guns, and Greed than any other zip code in America.  I swear it does.

I say that he lives in Sugar Land which is not technically correct.  He used to live in Sugar Land until a follow gun enthusiast in Montana found Rodriguez “visiting” his wife.

I do not know what “visiting” means, but whatever it does, it hacked off Wayne Bengston enough to kill Rodriguez, beat up his wife, take his 2 year old son to relatives’ house, then drive 25 miles and shoot himself in the head, which kinda leads you to suspect that Rodriguez wasn’t visiting to sell Bibles.

Now here’s my question:  Wayne La Pierre says the only thing that will stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.  So, where the hell was the good guy?  Is he like Batman and you have to signal him?  Or is he more like Superman and instinctively knows these things but the overproduction of kryptonite, Obama’s missing birth certificate,  and the Keystone pipeline have messed up his navigation?

I need to know where Wayne is hiding these good guys.  Too many times two guys with guns make it real difficult to sort out the good, the bad, and the innocent bystander.

Maybe we could go back to that whole black and white hat thing.  That would make cleaning up a crime scene a whole lot easier.  I’m just sayin’ …

For right now, I’m gonna bet that these were two good guys who could have settled this thing with a fist fight, a couple of black eyes, and a make-up beer over at the Mustang Lounge.  That doesn’t seem like a viable option now days, what with Wayne LaPierre around.

Thanks to Rick for the heads up.

Jonesboro, Texas, is a small town between Waco and the end of the earth.

There’s not much to do there since they shut down the bowling alley, but the trailer park does attract some attention.

Jamie Jeanette

A Jonesboro woman was arrested on DWI charges after police say she slammed into a mobile home then tried to leave the scene of the accident in a child’s battery-operated truck.

Jamie Jeanette Craft, 29, is also charged with public intoxication, refusal to submit, disorderly conduct, leaving the scene of an accident with property damage and driving while license canceled, suspended or revoked.

Come to find out, Jamie Jeanette was driving her Texas redneck edition 2001 Pontiac Grand Am when she slammed into the trailer, where she proceeded to scream at the owner for putting his trailer way too damn close to where she likes to drive off road.

She couldn’t get the toy car to do anything other than go in circles.   So, dressed only in a sweatshirt with no pants or shoes, she then decided to walk to her mother’s house, where police found her and held her up to blow a .217 on the drunk-o-meter, which is triple drunk.

Here’s the best part.  It was 5:30 on a Sunday afternoon.

Just for the helluva it, I check to see and discovered to my everlasting gratitude that Jamie Jeanette is not a registered voter in Texas.  So mark that down for one less vote for Rick Perry.

EDIT:  I hate to ruin a good story but it has been brought to my attention that this is Jonesboro, Arkansas, not Jonesboro, Texas.  In my weak defense, it’s plenty hard to tell the two states apart when it comes to drunk women wearing sweatshirts and nothing else.

Thanks to Gay for the heads up.

And another one hitches a ride on the handbasket to hell.

Eric Bodenweiser was the rising star in the GOP.  Rabidly anti-gay and pro family, Bodenweiser was seen as a shoe-in for the Delaware state senate.

Until he wasn’t.

Bodenweiser is facing 113 felony sex charges, including 39 counts of unlawful sexual intercourse — first-degree and 74 counts of unlawful sexual contact — second-degree. The boy who allegedly was sexually abused by Bodenweiser between Oct. 1, 1987 and Aug. 31, 1990 when he was between the ages of 10 and 13.

Bodenweiser, who touted his experience as a middle school mentor, was endorsed by Christine “I am not a witch” O’Donnell.

Woman, be a witch.  It’s gotta be a better gig than this one.
