Is That a Challenge, Dewhurst?

June 27, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Texas Lt. Governor David Dewhurst is a tweetin’ fool this morning.  Get a load of this.

No, Dewhurst, YOU come and take it.

Cinderella Won’t Leave These Slippers at the Ball

Okay, it is said that you can click the heels of these slippers three times and make Texas Lt. Governor David Dewhurst look like a fool.

And while he would prefer that you do it barefooted and pregnant, there’s no harm in wearing a pair of Wendy Davis glass slippers.  Whether calling the flying monkeys or being Glenda the Good Witch, these shoes will take you where we need to go.

I ordered a pair this morning. I am now officially a little old lady in tennis shoes.

You will have fun reading the reviews of these shoes on Amazon.

Thank you Fenway Fran for the heads up.

BREAKING: Okay, Governor Oops, Keep Digging

Rick Perry has called another special session starting on July 1st.  It picks up the two items – transportation  and mandatory life sentences for juvenile capital crimes – AND the same abortion crap.

PDF of press release here.

I am 66 years old and I am still fighting this crap.

… And the Inevitable Response

June 26, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Texas Congressvarmint Louie Gohmert, that man of understated wit, was confounded by the Supreme Court decision on DOMA.  Why, the poor man could barely find words …

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) reacted to two Supreme Court rulings on Wednesday by suggesting that same sex marriage “is usually tried at the end of a great civilization.”

Yeah, well, too late, Louie.  A great civilization would not elect you.

The gay is falling!  The gay is falling!

Thanks to Irene for the heads up.

Scalia Scales

June 26, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Lady Justice is blindfolded and holds up scales of justice.

Antonin Scalia hauled his hefty hiney on one side of those scales and tilted them in favor of arrogant absurdity.

He writes ….

… whatever disappearing trail of its legalistic argle-bargle one chooses to follow …

I do not know what argle-bargle is but I think Scalia has a real bad case of it.

I have been married for 42 years and I love Bubba more every day but I do not love him more than Phillip loves Hank or Mary loves Beverly.  Marriage is a contract.  Every adult should have the right to enter into a contract.

Y’all, Scalia totally creeps me out.  Completely.  I would never want to be alone in the same room with him.  He’s just creepy.

Greg Abbott Doing The Wild Thing on Twitter

June 26, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

I think I need to introduce you folks from foreign states to Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott.

He’s a jerk.  He’s going to run for Governor so he went to court and legally changed his middle name to NotObama just to save some time and energy.  Okay, so I made that up but it could be true.  So far, it appears that Greg Abbott is running against Barack Obama in 2014.  That’s not easy but, Bless his Heart, he’s trying.

So yesterday, when the Supremes overruled a civil rights law for the first time since the civil war – that’s true, look it up – Abbott waited the proper two hours before demanding that the Secretary of State start requiring a voter ID.

Then he took to Twitter to start doing the wild thing.  Seriously, he’s gonna get warts for what he was doing on twitter.

.

Never in the history of Texas has a man worked so hard to keep people from voting.  Well, maybe never is a strong word.  But, at least since last night at the Texas Senate.  He’s working hardest since Republicans did it last night.  There, that’s it.

In Texas, we do not have a driver’s license bureau in every county.  Hell, there’s parts of Texas that don’t get the Today show until tomorrow.  So getting a proper ID isn’t easy.

This also takes Texas out of the bother to get per-clearance on our redistricting maps.  Greg Abbott is sitting in a backroom today with a pencil and a map, drawing lines to make all our representatives just like Louie Gohmert.   I do not even want to think how excited that makes him.

Greg Abbott has to walk sideways to keep from flying today.  He is so excited that he’s one step closer to world domination by old white men wanting to tie Sweet Nell to the railroad tracks.

Here’s what’s gonna happen.  Rick Perry has been studying up real hard to be able to count to three so he’s gonna run for President.  Greg Abbott is gonna run for Governor by trying to keep minorities, young people and old people from voting.

Welcome to Texas, where men are men and women need to be in charge.
