Drumming On Fingers of Desktops UPDATED

October 28, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

We’re drumming our fingers on desktops here in Texas waiting on a decision from U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel on the constitutionality of Texas’s grotesque anti-woman bill, SB2, which will kill Texas women in the name of pro-life.

The decision is expected today but so far all we’ve heard is all sizzle and no bacon.

If I’m in the bathroom or in the middle of a perm when it comes down, jump on here and announce it.

I’m nervous as a sittin’ hen at a coyote convention.

By the way, Judge Yeakel was appointed by George W so the odds of him being smart are slim to none and slim just left town.  (I apologize.  I really do.)

UPDATE:  Y’all, I am just damn giddy.    Lookie at this.

 

 

The Position, My Friend, is Blowing in the Wind

Marco Rubio has begun to look like a small dog rubbing up and down on Ted Cruz’s leg doing you know what.

Rubio has now decided that he’s against his own immigration reform.

Once loudly supportive of sweeping immigration reform, Rubio had a Come To Ted meeting and —

Opposing conference on the Senate bill leaves little, if any, room to pass reform through a divided Congress as the broad coalitions that hold together the Senate legislation would splinter if any major components are excluded.

How’s that refusal to work bipartisan working out for you, Marco?  Public Policy Polling, October 3rd, 2013.

So, Marco, you’re not planning on running in Florida again?

On the pendalum factor, Rubio scores about a wall to wall 15.

 

On My Way Home

We’re leaving here in a while so I’ll be back home today.  I still don’t have email – although it was promised today – so that is the first order of business.

Y’all entertain yourself until I get home.

The Coolest Kid in the Nursery

A lot of you know that my first grandchild is coming into the world next month.  His name is William.  And he will be the coolest kid in the nursery because he has a signed Wendy David campaign shirt.

As you know, both Ted Cruz and Rick Perry are spending more time in Iowa than Texas.  I’m not complaining.  In fact, I feel a little blessed that they both switched out of cowboy boots and into fly-over clothes.

Apparently, the Republicans in Iowa think the Texas Twins are a boatload of whoopee. Especially the one who can talk for 21 hours and say diddle squat.

And the latest news is that some Republicans in Iowa are talking about Ted.

The lengthy Senate speech “only confirmed to me as an Iowa activist that this man has what it takes to run for president,” said Jamie Johnson, a member of the state GOP central committee who was state chairman of former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum’s winning 2012 caucus campaign.

Hell, yeah, Jamie Johnson!  You propelled Santorum to stardom as well as Cruz’s speech accomplished … well, anything at all.  You two guys deserve each other.

Here Ya Go!

Okay, Customers, remember how I told you that Glen Maxey promised to dance on the table if we hit $4,000?

We just hit $6,000 and although Glen is conducting a Texas Democratic Party Training in Corpus Christi, he’s still dancing on the table just for us.  So, I am pleased to introduce you to the Honorable and Distinguished former State Representative, current member of the Democratic National Committee, Director of Training for the Texas Democratic Party, and retired rodeo clown, Glen Maxey.

And thank you to my friend Matagorda County Democratic Chair Nora Dearing for the great photo.

To be honest with you guys, I thought we’d make about $1,000 from the beauty salon.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.
