Texas Republican Congressvarmint Steve Stockman, who is neck and neck with Louie Gohmert for the Crazziest Guy in Congress, is bellerin’ and pawing at the dirt over one of Wolf Blitzer’s comments on the teevee yesterday.

On CNN, Blitzer noted that the explosions occurred on April 15, saying, “It is a state holiday in Massachusetts today called Patriots’ Day, and who knows if that had anything at all to do with these explosions.”

Well, that’s just not allowed.  Stockman tweeted ….

“Wolf Blitzer should immediately apologize. The mainstream media once again exploit killings to attack political opponents.”

Uh, Steve, Patriot’s Day is the third Monday in April and it celebrates the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775.

Uh, Steve, you don’t get to own the rights to the word patriot, man, American, day, or even Christmas.  However, if Wolf ever refers to ignorant exhibitionist, that would be you.  You own that one.

Boy Howdy, I’m wondering if he’s going to pitch a fit over the New England Patriots losing a football game.

Thanks to Brian C for the heads up.

For those asking, Fenway Fran’s people are all okay.

Georgia has themselves a proud white man Governor by the name of Nathan Deal.

Nathan pretty much thinks anything at all that might mean leaving the 1950s is some sort of communist plot to bring socialism to Georgia.

I’d like to think he’s right.

Governor Deal’s latest issue is a movement to have an integrated prom at Wilcox County High School.  Most southerners remember when schools integrated, some districts stopped having proms.  The white kids’ parents gave them a private prom and that left black parents planning their own, too.

Well, 50 years later, the only thing they’ve changed in Wilcox County is the light bulbs.

Now the kids want an integrated prom, as do the parents and most politicians, including some Republican ones.

But Nathan knows the real thing going on.

Gov. Nathan Deal won’t take sides in the controversy over some Wilcox County teens’ efforts to integrate their prom.

By email, his spokesman, Brian Robinson, said Deal would have no response to a liberal group’s call for state officials, including the governor to speak out.

He wrote, “This is a leftist front group for the state Democratic party and we’re not going to lend a hand to their silly publicity stunt.”

Yeah, and Rosa Parks was just a publicity stunt.

Integration is still controversial in Georgia?  Gotta love ole Nathan.  Poor man left his brain at an LSD party in 1963.

Thanks to Rick for the heads up.

The Rick Perry 2012 Presidential Campaign, which lasted about as long as it takes a bullwhip to snap, still has $387,000 in cash on hand.

The most recent expenditures are….

I suspect that the remaining funds will be spent on tissues for Bob Perry’s funeral because Rick will be crying more than an onion chopper in a  Cajun restaurant.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

As you’ve probably heard by now, Swiftboater Bob Perry is standing before God this morning trying to explain why the millions he earned building substandard housing on the backs of undocumented and minimum wage workers was spent lying about people and trying to make life harder for children and old people.

It’s gonna be a long day for him because this afternoon he’s got to explain how a man claiming oh so loudly to be a Christian can be so damn mean to God’s children.

People are asking me what’s gonna happen now.  Because, as is well known, I have a crystal ball.  So Madam Swami Juanita is guessing —

1.  Karl Rove will starve to death.  Like a lion raised in captivity, he has no idea how to forage for himself.

2.  I know a couple of Bob Perry’s children.  There is fixing to be a boom in the Texas alcoholic beverage business and brat will be redefined as a positive characteristic.

3.  Texas Republicans are already hunting another pimp-daddy.  Rich men with no morals or ethics are overstocked in Texas.

4.  Bob Perry will not resurrect in three days, to the chagrin of Rick Perry (No relation.  Except for, you know, that money thing) who is whining and crying and slinging snot today.

5.  If you hear thunder today, it’s God saying, “Wrong answer, Bob!”

6.  Hell will be a little hotter by nightfall.

I need to confess that I am not a NASCAR fan.  I don’t have anything against rednecks driving fast in circles, but I can see that for free in East Bernard after a VFW Dance when nobody can find their way out of the parking lot.

I believe that people go to NASCAR races to see a crash.  So when the NRA and NASCAR teamed up, fans were not disappointed.

A Texas man used a gun to commit suicide in the infield of a National Rifle Association-sponsored NASCAR race at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth late on Saturday, local authorities said.

Kirk Franklin, 42, of nearby Saginaw died after shooting himself at 10:30 p.m. on Saturday during the NRA 500 Sprint Cup race, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner.

NASCAR races with rednecks, beer, and guns is probably almost a good idea if you want to thin out the herd.

Otherwise, it sucks big time.
