Wanna know why there’s hunger in America?

Because Sister Simone Campbell isn’t doing enough.

Rep. Reid Ribble (R-WI) indicted Campbell and the Catholic Church for not doing enough to fix poverty on their own, asking, “What is the church doing wrong that they have to come to the government to get so much help?”

Now Ribble didn’t ask that of the Pope or a priest. He didn’t even ask Sweet Jesus to hurry up on the fish and loaves. He specifically asked Sister Campbell.

Oddly, Congressvarmint Ribble lists himself as a Baptist so I guess he should ask Billy Graham the same question. But, Ribble didn’t. He waited to ask Sister Simone.

Thanks to John for the heads up and the graphic.

Remember the Department of Public Safety in Texas saying they found bags of feces at the Capitol during the demonstrations against restricting Texas women’s constitutional rights?  And now nobody can find the feces or that it ever even happened or exisited?

Well, Baby, they ain’t finished yet.

Now they want your Twitter account.

AUSTIN — State police have demanded Twitter records from two users that officials allege made “terroristic threats” against lawmakers who pushed for abortion restrictions.

One targeted user, Denise Romano, an Austin woman with a private Twitter account, explains on her page that posts are “satirical.” The second user’s account is anonymous and was unused for more than a year before a string of tweets specified in the Texas Department of Public Safety probe.

In what appears to be an unprecedented move in Texas, law enforcement officials subpoenaed the Twitter users’ information in a criminal investigation.

“I haven’t heard of a tweet being used for the basis of a criminal case,” said Paul Watler, a Dallas-based First Amendment lawyer and a former president of the Texas Freedom of Information Foundation.

And who reported these tweets to the DPS?  Oh, none other than Kristen Vander-Plas, former legislative director for College Republicans.  She said the users’ tweets “made me nervous.”  Woman, have your constitutional rights taken away ought to make you nervous, not some tweeter saying saying some sarcastic thing.

At least once a week I say that Ted Cruz  needs to sneeze because his brain is dusty or needs a good whack upside the head.   Get all nervous, Kristen.

I guess DPS is still looking for the crap.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

You know what? Republicans can kiss my big blue butt.

They are blaming Wendy Davis for the 3rd special session and demanding that she should pay for it.

Dudes, quit attacking women. Just quit it.

Everything is her fault

After spending their first special session watching State Sen Wendy Davis’ (D) marathon filibuster and their second passing the abortion restrictions Davis was fighting against, the Texas legislature is back for a third session. Now, they need to handle the transportation measure that was the motivation for the original special session, before they got sidetracked with anti-abortion legislation.

Unfortunately for the state’s taxpayers, the extra time will cost them an additional $2.4 million. But one lawmaker has an idea for who should foot part of that bill: Davis herself.

Both the special sessions are because Lt. Governor David Dewhurst didn’t put the transportation bill before the filibuster. So if Republicans say that Dewhurst’s lack of planning and intelligence are Wendy Davis’ fault, they better be prepared to prove that she’s his Momma.

Everybody out there, go find something orange to wear today and if somebody asks you why the fool tarnation you’re wearing an orange scarf with a pink shirt, tell them, “Because Republicans in the Texas Legislature need a good thump upside the head and since I ain’t close enough to do it myself I’m passing along the message.”

Maybe.

Tea Party Misspelling – It’s not just for signs anymore.

Congressman Chuck Fleischmann of the Chattanooga, Tennessee, area released a postcard he sent to President Obama to un-welcome him to Chattanooga on Tuesday.

It went like this —

Mr. President,

Welcome to beautiful Chattanooga.  We appreciate you are in town, celebriting the businesses that have come to Tennessee thanks to our low regulation, low taxes, and right to work policies.  While here, I invite you to visist a few historical natural attractions like Ruby Falls, a true Chattanooga treasure.  However, Obamacare is making it difficult to maintain or grow businesses of this size.  Even though Tennessee’s strong leadership has put us in a better position than most we’re not immune to the burdens this policy is placing on Americans across the country.
Best,

Chuck Fleischmann

Chuck also misspelled 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue by writing 1600 Pensylvannia Avenue.

It should be noted that “fewer than half of Hamilton County students in grades 3 through 8 can read at their grade level, according to standardized test results.”  Ole Chuck just fits right in.

Thanks to Larry for the heads up.
