And This is What Texas Has Come To

August 05, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

This video is real and it’s rape by a police officer over a citation for littering.

Now a search over “the odor of marijuana” in a car results in a body cavity search but not a search of any non-sexual parts of the body.

I’d like to make a joke about it but it’s horrifying.

I wonder how many men have been searched like that roadside.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up and the thumbs down.

Being Good Ain’t Good Enough For the Baptist

August 05, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

There’s a story that goes like this.  A Southern Baptist minister was asked if he thought only Baptists went to heaven.  He replied that was true but he also thought some Baptist weren’t going either.

Apparently, one of them was a football and basketball coach.

Baptists used to think that religious freedom meant that you could attend the Baptist Church of your choice.  Alabama has decided that’s too damn liberal.

Although he coached the basketball team to a state championship and coached the football team to making the playoff for the first time in many years, Scott Phillips was given a choice – come to East Memorial Baptist Church to teach at our school or lose your job.  It is of note that Phillips is a member of Church of the Highlands so it’s not like he’d be teaching Sharia law or anything.

In June 2012, Phillips agreed to accept the athletic director position following the resignation of then-athletic director Vic Foxworth. He taught science and Bible, coached boys basketball and served as a football assistant prior to taking on his new role.

Phillips says that EMCA officials told him that the AD position must be a member of East Memorial Baptist Church — a claim the school’s headmaster Bryan Easley confirmed to the Advertiser in an email.

Now this is Alabama so I’ll bet you a dime that nobody asked Bear Bryant what damfool church he went to.  The choice between Jesus and having a winning football team is a tough one.

Welcome to East Memorial Baptist Church, where religious freedom isn’t religious or free.

Ted Cruz: If You Can’t Change the Future, Rewrite the Past

August 05, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

I wouldn’t fact-check this through Newt Gingrich if I were you, but Ted Cruz is just amazingly certain that the 1995 – 1996 government shutdown was good for the GOP.

It is a well-known fact that Ted Cruz spent 1995-1996 admiring his image in a mirror and practicing strutting.

Ted is trying to make his idea of ruining Obamacare worth the price of shutting down the government.  Not to benefit America, mind you, but to benefit the GOP.

I think the GOP hires people to sit around in a room somewhere and make up this crapola.  Hell, it’d be cheaper to hire a herd of mules in a hailstorm because you’d get the same crazy.  Wouldn’t you love to be a fly on the wall of that room – especially when they decide that Nixon was a Democrat?

So, dream on Pretty Boy, and do a double Gingrich backflip without mussing your hairdo.  I wanna see this.  I do.

Thanks to UmptyDump for the heads up.

When You Absolutely Really and Truly Run Out Of Things To Worry About

August 05, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

The Picken’s County GOP comes to your rescue.

You need to call the Crayola Crayon company today because they have Ramadan – which means Sharia Law – on their website.

Recall that Muslims consider Ramadan the “month of jihad” and “month of victory” over infidels. Crayola should remind kids not to try and draw Muhammad lest their parents need to fend off Muslims and enter witness relocation – like the creator of Everyone Draw Muhammad Day – since the FBI nor anyone else will protect them.

Christmas trees and bunnies abound but a search for the Bible returned zero results.

I found this honest to gosh picture of the Pickens County GOP primary election night watch.

Oddly, if they had a box of crayons, they would only need one color.

Thanks to Rick for the heads up.

Here Ya Go

August 04, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Okay, my major summer commitments are over and more of time will be my own.

That means more time to be mean.

And who better to start with than Louie Gohmert.  On Monday, August 5th, Louie Gohmert is hosting Sean Hannity’s radio show.  Here’s where it is in your area.

Truman is ready for Louie!

I can promise you this.  You will need a tin foil hat to protect you from Congressvarmint Crazypoolza, a known medical condition in east Texas.

If you’re not lucky enough to have Louie Live! in your neck of the woods, you can listen online right here.  He’s going to be on from 2:00 – 5:00 pm.

Let us hope that they accept call ins and one of us can get through.

Need a question?  Honey, I’ve got ten pages of questions.

Thanks to Steve for the heads up.

This Weekend. UPDATED

August 03, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

The reason you haven’t heard from me is that I’m in San Antonio at the Texas Democratic County Chairs Association Summer Workshop.

Every Texan has two homes – where they live and San Antonio.

Here I am with Mayor Julian Castro and Bubba.

And here is Bubba with Wendy Davis.

I like you guys but as you can tell, I am having way too much fun.

UPDATE:  Wendy announced on San Antonio radio on Saturday that she will have an announcement of her plans “in a couple of weeks a message they want to hear.”

That sounds good to me.
