Wagon Train

One of the things that was laughably apparent at the gathering at the Texas Capitol was not that we outnumbered the anti-choicers by leaps and bounds, but also that they were all so damn old that they shouldn’t buy green bananas.  Hell, half of them owe Noah a dollar for the boat ride.

They want to fix that.

They’re bringing a bus from … get ready for this … Washington, DeeCee – the most hated of conservative places.  They are bringing a busload of students from outside of Texas to come and call me a murderer.  You know how Republicans are always screaming that this is a states right?  Well, maybe not so much in this case.

Seating is limited and will be on a first come, first served basis, so please let us know right now if you can meet us in Washington, DC this Sunday, July 7th, to join the Students for Life team on the 24 hour road trip to Austin!

And if you can’t meet us in DC on the 7th, we will be passing through the following cities where we can pick you up as well: Roanoke (VA), Knoxville, Nashville, Memphis, and Little Rock.

They are planning on staying for a week.  Honey, you leave a college student for a week in Austin and they will be going back home with a Hillary ’16 tee-shirt and a baggie with a controlled substance.

If you want to go help turn these kids away from the evil destructive forces of theocracy,  here’s how it’s happening.

Thanks to Kathleen and Tom for the heads up.

Rick Perry has announced that he will have “an announcement about his political future on Monday.”

Rick Perry has a political future?

Damn.  I figured that guy had about the same political future as Newt Gingrich.  Hang it up, cowboy, and take your lasso home.

And then I got to thinking.  Maybe Rick has other announcements in mind.

Like maybe ….

10.  I’m running for Governor of Egypt.

9.   We are moving Lubbock to Austin and vice versa. Everybody’s happy.  Okay, I’m happy and that’s enough.

8.   You know those rumors about me being gay?  Not true.  I just like show tunes.  Nakkid.  With other men.

7.   I have enrolled in Miss Mavis’ Memory School.  We’re up to three.

6.  Yeah, David Dewhurst gets on my nerves, too.

5.  I am officially changing my title from Governor to Cowboy Coyote King.

4.  You know that whole barefoot and pregnant thing?  Well, we’ve decided to change that.  You can wear shoes.

3.  Guns!  Guns!  Guns!  No announcement.  I just like saying it.

2.  Do the people of Egypt admire a good head of hair?  Because I can do that.  I’ve already got an Indiana Jones outfit.  And I can walk like an Egyptian.

1.  Secede /  Succeed — I keep getting those two mixed up.  That’s why I’ve done neither.

Damned If You Do, Shamed if You Don’t

There’s a new anonymous blog up designed specifically to make fun of Wendy Davis’ physical appearance.

Apparently, and we should all have this problem, she looks too good.

So this anonymous person is accusing her of having plastic surgery and a fake boob job.  And that is very coincidental because I consider the writer of the anonymous blog to be a real boob job.

They call Wendy “a human Barbie doll.”

Oh for pete’s sake, really.  When the ever-lovin’ hell are we gonna quit making the way a woman looks have more importance than what she thinks.

This obviously jealous person, who is too ashamed of what they’re doing to even use their name, better find something a tad more substantial than whining that Wendy Davis looks like Barbie.  Let me remind the anonymous person that the Texas Governor’s Mansion strongly resembles Barbie’s Dream House.

.

Yes, indeed, it does.

Thanks to Maggie for the heads up.

Happy Birthday, America

I’m going to the ballpark, eating hot dogs and watching the Astros get clobbered.

Have a great day.

Homeward Bound

After sleeping the whole morning, ole Bubba and I are headed back home today.

There’s something I want to say. I know that State Rep and bill sponsor Jodie Lauberberg repeatedly says, in fact it’s all she says, that this bill is about women’s health and safety. I imagine there’s a third thing involved here but they had to shorten it to two things to avoid another embarrassing oops moment.

However, if that is true, how come every damn anti-choice speaker spoke only on abortion? The speakers were supposed to speak on topic. The Republicans in the Texas House keep saying this is not about abortion; it’s about health and safety. Their speeches weren’t on that topic. Not a word from the chairman to stop them. Not a damn word.

I know I’m supposed to feel that the anti-choice people are good people with good intentions. Well, screw me. I do not feel that way. I also know that they are sick people who wish to impose their religious beliefs on others and I should feel compassion for someone so insecure and mentally tilted. I do not. Those people just sucked all the nice out of me.

They are mean and hateful. They would rule my life if they could. They are the Talibaptist.

Ole Bubba and I will get home this evening – we are going to toot around Austin to see friends for a while – and I will be back to holler about other subjects by tonight.
