Okay, there’s a list of the 29 Stupidest Things That Happened in 2013.
By my math, 6 of them were Texans. That kinda gives us the lead in the Holy Cow That’s Dumb state olympics.
Louie even got his own division:
The only amazing thing was that Randy Neugebauer, Joe Barton and Blake Farenthold did NOT make the list. But I’ve heard that they’re all working on next year.
Thanks to Steve for the heads up.
Y’all, anytime I get to talk about Sarah Palin is a good time.
She finally admitted that she had not actually read the interview with the Duck Dynasty dude before she defended it.
Really? Sarah Palin not read? Add that to my Shocked, Shocked I Tell You list.
According to Palin’s reasoning, she didn’t have to read the interview to defend Robertson in the first place because the substance of his comments didn’t matter. He was invoking the Bible, she said, so his critics are actually taking issue with Scripture itself.
Sarah claims that even though Duck Dude spoke out against homosexuals …
“… he has said over and over again he doesn’t hate the person engaging in a lifestyle he disagrees with.”
I dunno. While the rightwing seems holds the patent on hating people, I kinda think Duck Dude hates them.
New poll released today.
… a CNN/ORC International poll released Thursday also indicates that nearly three-quarters of the public say that this has been a “do-nothing” Congress.
Two-thirds of those questioned said the current Congress is the worst in their lifetime, with 28% disagreeing.
This is just a guess, but I’m suspecting that those 28% could not define “congress” or “crap.”
My son showed me this in the New York Times and I thought you might enjoy playing. You answer a few questions and it tells you the three most likely cities where you were born.
It nailed me with Houston (where I was born), New Orleans (where my Daddy was born) and Little Rock (where my Momma’s father was born and raised). It nailed my son and his wife both.
Texas State Senator Dan Patrick is becoming the Goofball Whisperer.
He’s running for Lt. Governor in the Terror Trifecta of incumbent David Dewhurst, Patrick, and the usual holder of the Holy Crap, What’s He Thinking? title, former land commissioner Jerry Patterson.
Patrick appeared on a west Texas radio show and expounded …
“Think about this, Chad. God has used Phil, of all people, a ‘Duck Dynasty’ show, to say clearly what He is thinking. I don’t agree with the way Phil said some things in the article, maybe God would not have used those words, but when he’s talking about God, and he’s talking about the principles of the Bible, that’s powerful.
So, answer me this. If that was God talking, why does he use words he wouldn’t use? You’re cruising for a headache on this one, Honey. If I ever call you on the phone and I’m using words I normally don’t use and sound like somebody from Boston, it probably ain’t me.
You know, when Moses came down from the mountain, God’s words were inscribed in stone, not gibbered through some guy who thought slavery was pretty damn cool for African Americans.
Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.
