Whoa Nelly, can you even imagine the dinner conversation at the Cheney Thanksgiving table?

On Fox News Sunday, Dick Cheney, Jr, Liz, said that she believes in traditional marriage.   She added that she loves her sister but, “This is just an issue on which we disagree.”

Mary Cheney took to Facebook to say ….

“Liz – this isn’t just an issue on which we disagree – you’re just wrong – and on the wrong side of history.”

Mary and her wife, Heather Poe, were married in Washington, DC, last year.

“Liz has been a guest in our home, has spent time and shared holidays with our children, and when Mary and I got married in 2012 – she didn’t hesitate to tell us how happy she was for us,” Poe wrote on the social media site. “To have her now say she doesn’t support our right to marry is offensive to say the least.”

Personally, I wouldn’t let one member of that family have anything to do with a sharp knife on Thanksgiving.

A regular customer sent me this 2011 article from Business Insider.  I’m not sure what business they are inside but there is a mildly disturbing article about Rick Perry and his nickname.  The article is entitled “Gross”.  Yep.

If you go read it, you’re on your own.  However, you might want to remember this as his campaign slogan during his presidential run.  Here’s the picture they’re talking about.

Okay, in the ever expanding list of Texas blubbering idiots that we amusingly call congressvarmints, Steve Stockman is a whole sub genus of his own.

He was in congress once before but got defeated because he was nuts.  Seriously.  Did crazy crap.  Then along comes the Tea Party and suddenly Stockman, who has been homeless a few times, finds his home.

But even though he now gets a paycheck and mostly lays low, but sometimes not, things are not going well.   The Houston Fire Marshall shut down his campaign headquarters / motorcycle shop / flophouse.

The headquarters had been housed since early 2012 in a former motorcycle shop along the Gulf Freeway. Campaign staffers and volunteers had been both working and sleeping there, even though the commercial building was considered unsafe for human habitation, according to Webster city records and an interview with assistant fire marshal Warren Chappell.

It appeared that 6 to 8 people were both living and working there.  His campaign finance reports show he bought “bedding at WalMart for volunteers” in February of 2012.

His campaign is $100,000 in debt.  He fired his campaign treasurer and never replaced him, which of course means he can’t raise money.  However, last week he had a $1,000 a plate fundraiser in DeeCee with special guest Eric Cantor.  I’ll give you two to one odds that Stockman introduces a bill to abolish the FEC.

So while Stockman racks up debt living high on the hog at $1,000 a plate dinners, his staff is living in a flophouse that is a fire hazard.  With WalMart bedding.

Yep.  The NRA endorsed Stave Stockman.  Whadda guy.

Texas golfer Lee Trevino used to say, “We all leak a little oil but the good ones control the flow.”

It appears that Texas has lost control.

Welcome to Milford, Texas, which is just south of Dallas.  Homes and schools were evacuated last week when an explosion happened at an active drill site after crews punctured the pipeline.  The pipeline is owned by Chevron.

While initial tests by the EPA show the air around the blast site was not toxic, officials are recommending that no one return to the area for 24 hours, the county judge said. Chevron is also monitoring a 14-inch gas line near the ruptured one.

It appears that no one was hurt.  This time.

We like our fireworks real big in Texas.  We also like to limit liability and adore tort reform.

Louie is fit to be tied over Israel again.  He says the President is going to hell in a hand basket because … well, the Bible says so.

Gohmert accused President Barack Obama of pursuing policies not in Israel’s best interest. He mentioned the administration’s support for Israel signing an international Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and quoted Genesis 12, implying the consequences of “betraying” Israel.

“It seems appropriate … ‘I will bless them that bless thee and curse them that curse thee,’” Gohmert said.

I will give Louie a shiny new nickel if he would read Genesis 12 out loud to me.  Especially the part when  Abram got to Egypt and he made his beautiful wife lie and say that she was his sister so that the Pharaoh would take her into his house and give Abram lots of cool stuff, you know, like “sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.”

And God rewarded Abram for his lies and brought plagues on the Egyptians for believing the lies.  That’s the Fox News marketing plan.

So, Abram whored out his wife for livestock.  And that’s where the Republicans got their economic plan.

Thanks for that Genesis 12 reminder, Louie.

Thanks to Bananas for the heads up.
