Mine says “Go Wild & Vote Democratic”

Thanks to Laura for the heads up.

Oh sweet Texas, I love yew.

We have a guy here named David Barton who you are fixin’ to get to know pretty well. He’s threatening to be the Tea Party candidate against Texas Senator John Cornyn because the only thing worse than a black man in the White House is a moderate RINO.

Barton has found the cause of global warming.

Abortion.

You think I’m jacking with you, right? You think it’s something from The Onion, right?

Oh no, I am not jacking with you.

Once “you open the door to killing,” Barton added, “it’s got a lot of different manifestations” because the nation immediately falls under the judgment of God as He removes his protection and “whap, here comes storms like we’ve never seen before and here comes floods and here comes climate stuff that we can’t explain; all of the hot times and all the cold times and not enough rain and too much rain and we’re flooding over here and we’ve got droughts over here … And today we’re saying ‘oh no, it’s global warming.” No, we opened a door that lost God’s protection over our environment and that’s our choice.”

And this man wants to tech this crap in Texas public schools.

Now why abortion picked that particular door and not the one that brings locusts, I dunno.  I suspect David doesn’t either.

Thanks to Brian C for the heads up.

Andrew Card.  Remember him?  Dubya’s Chief of Staff who rates about the Seventh Circle of Hell on the Truthtelling scale?  The guy who told so many falsehoods that he had to get his wife to call the dog?  A man who never did get his facts untangled?

Yeah, THAT Andrew Card.

He better watch where he points his finger because that sucker might be loaded.

The man who served as chief of staff under former President George W. Bush and helped sell the Iraq War to the American people said Tuesday that President Barack Obama’s entire team is guilty of misleading the public.

Oh, but it gets better.

“Well, first of all, I fault not only the President but I fault the people around the President for allowing him to mislead the American people for so long,” Card told the panel on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Card, don’t you remember where you used to work?  Dude, you’re looking in the mirror.

Republicans:  More gall than guts.  But the weird part is that they’re dandy proud of it.

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.

It’ Aladamnbama this time.

A congressional candidate for guess which party has made an announcement that no gay people are born in Alabama – they are all imported.

A Republican congressional candidate from Alabama with a history of combating homosexuality said on the campaign trail in 2002 that gays should return to California or Vermont or “wherever they came from.”

Dean Young, who is vying for the Republican nomination in a runoff election Tuesday for Alabama’s first congressional district, in which the candidate suggested gays must have moved to Alabama from other areas since they’re not native to the state.

You know, like camels or panda bears.  They have to be brought in from somewhere else.  Jim Nabors – born in Alabama – was just a freak of nature so he moved for California and got famous to pay penance.

It’s election day in Texas and all I get to vote on are some propositions and bonds.

Fuzzy picture – clear minds

My family and friends in Houston are voting for mayor.  My family and friends, of course, support the re-election of Mayor Annise Parker. So do I.  So, if you live in Houston, get your patootie to the polls.

Here’s where I need your help.  If you have an interesting race in your area – yeah, I’m talking about you Virginia, let us know about it.

You might even have an interesting school board or mayor’s race.  Let us know about it and then come back tonight and give us the results.

I’ll keep y’all updated about Houston’s mayors race.  We’re hoping Annise wins without a run-off.

More and more people are amused that Rick Perry is still running for President.  Even an East Texas newspaper had a editorial this week acknowledging that Perry finally quit spending taxpayer dollars to fund his Presidential bid, but maybe – just maybe – Rick might be in over his head in the whole King of the Damn World quest.

And this poll comes out showing that Ted Cruz leads Rick Perry in a Presidential poll of Texas Republicans by 29 percentage points.  Most folks would be hunting for a hole to hide in after that, but not Rick Perry.  Oh no, Rick gets some glasses to look like he has a lick of sense and keeps reminding folks that leading the state that’s last in education and 50th in the number of insured is something to crow about.

And, Mark Halperin’s Double Down is downloading on my Nook as we speak and I am told that there’s some dandy Rick Perry stories in there, too.  Like how he couldn’t count to four before he couldn’t count to three.  And how Michele Bachmann was completely spooked by him.

But he’s running for President because hell — what else does he have to do?
