Nah, that wasn’t a typo.  They sowed and now they weep.

National Organization For Marriage Ended 2012 With A $1 Million Deficit

Raising nearly $14.5 million in contributions in 2012, NOM reported spending nearly $16.5 million during the year. The group unsuccessfully fought three marriage equality ballot measures and one state constitutional amendment to ban same-sex couples from marriage in November 2012.

It could not happen to nicer people.  As hard as they tried, you cannot make bigotry and hate a virtue.

Don’t ya hope they owe all the money to other hateful people?  Two birds with one dogma – that’s my idea of productive.

Thanks to Dennis for the heads up.

Texas’ answer to Jabba the Hut, Congresspuggy Blake Farenthold, has a new Obama scandal.

Bless his heart, he can’t even let the old one get cold before he breaks out the new one.  But, this one is tremblingly ironic.  It involves numbers, something Farenthold is no damn good at.

When Farenthold got elected, the GOP leadership recognized an unEinstein when they saw it so they put him on the important, prestigious, and powerful Census committee. That means he only has to think once every ten years and even that causes brainstrain in Blake.

Blake has decided that the Census Bureau fudged the unemployment numbers before the 2012 election. He says that a New York Post article making the allegation is “extremely serious.”  That, campers, is the first time the words New York Post and serious have been used in the same sentence.   And coming out of the mouth of Blake Farenthold makes it the trifecta of ridiculous.

Okay, let’s pretend that the unemployment numbers were fudged.  Would take have taken away Mitt Romney’s total cluelessness?  Nope.  Would that have made people want Paul Ryan’s finger on the nuclear launch code?  Uh huh.

Two things are true:  The 2012 election was a damn landslide and Barack Obama is still black.  Blake needs to roll his butt to a quiet comfortable place of get the hell over it.

Thanks to Peter for the heads up.

Please meet Ben, my first grandchild, at 15 minutes old.  8 pounds, 13 ounces.  My daughter-in-law is doing very well.

Here’s a movie.  The voices you hear is my son and me.  Please forgive me this personal indulgence.

I’ll be back to work soon as I recover from a giant case of the joys!

William is his first name.  Ben is his middle name.

Proving that the Good Ole US of A won’t get shown up by anyone, Republican congressman Trey Radel of Florida has been arrested on cocaine charges.

Way to go, USA.

In the statement, Radel said he realizes “the disappointment my family, friends and constituents must feel. Believe me, I am disappointed in myself, and I stand ready to face the consequences of my actions.”

The arrest, he said, has a “positive side.” “It offers me an opportunity to seek treatment and counseling,” he said.

Yeah, let’s keep a positive light on the fact that you’re a rightwing Republican making choices about peoples’ lives for them while you’re. on. freekin’. cocaine.

Rick Perry ain’t popular in Texas.

Latest polling for who Texans would support for President.

In what should surprise absolutely no one, Ted Cruz led the field, garnering 32% of the vote.  As for the rest of the field, 13% picked Jeb Bush and Chris Christie, 10% chose Rand Paul, 6% favor Bobby Jindal and 5% like Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan.

Three percent chose Rick Perry.

Good Lord, they’d be willing to risk another Bush than have Perry be President.

Thanks to Texas Ellen for the heads up and John for the graphic.

I’m out of pocket most of today (details later) but our long time loyal customer Sybil lives in Albuquerque and let me know the good news last night and send along a loud scream of WE WON!

Do not mess with Albuquerque women.

On Tuesday, Albuquerque voters rejected the late-term abortion ban with 55 percent against it and 45 percent for it. The election drew more than 87,000 voters.

Opponents of this ban call this a victory for the women of Albuquerque.

Way to stinkin’ go!
