So there’s this actress you’ve never heard of named Shannon Richardson and she was in Walking Dead and Vampire Diaries, two flicks I was somehow blessed to miss.

She loves guns, guns, guns.  So much so that she had plead guilty to sending some serious crap through the United States mail.

Shannon Guess Richardson has pleaded guilty to sending toxic letters to both President Obama and the former Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg.

It appears as if Richardson was upset at possible gun restrictions.

The letter discovered during a routine screening contains the following paragraph:

“You will have to kill me and my family before you get my guns. Anyone who wants to come to my house will get shot in the face. The right to bear arms is my constitutional God given right and I will exercise that right till the day I die.”

She will possibly spend 10 years in jail where they don’t let you shoot people in the face most of the time.

Oh yeah, she’s from Dallas.  

Thanks to Jean for the heads up.

War on Christmas?

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

North Carolina State Senator Bob Rucho almost made history.

My theory is that the only reason he left off “marauding hordes of Huns” was because of the 140 character limit.

But, he does get extra points for mixed metaphors.  But, at the very least his tweet rates a “Bob Rucho Ole College Try Day” at the Texas Lege.

I told you about Judge Elizabeth Coker last October.  She’s the District Court Judge who sent strategy texts to prosecutors during a trial she was overseeing.

Yeah, she was the judge and she was sending secret messages to the prosecutors on how to win.  That’s kinda illegal, even in east Texas.  So, she resigned on December 6th.  On December 8th, the filing deadline in Texas, she marched her sweet little cheatin’ patootie over to Republican headquarters and filed to run for District Attorney.

No, I am not kidding you.  A State Commission on Judicial Conduct started an investigation after the texting incident and found —

The commission noted that she “allegedly exhibited a bias in favor of certain attorneys and a prejudice against others in both her judicial rulings and her court appointments.” Investigators also expressed concerns that Coker “discussed the Commission’s investigation and [her] written responses to the investigation with a material witness prior to that witness’ testimony before the Commission in an apparent attempt to influence that witness, and that the judge may not have been candid and truthful in her testimony before the Commission when questioned about her contact with the witness.”

I mean, here she is acting all Lizzy Borden to Lady Justice, and in her Republican mind, the fact that she doesn’t follow the rule of law and has made witness tampering an art form means she’s perfectly and uniquely qualified to be District Attorney.

And there are people in East Texas who are encouraging her.  Well, not really people.  Republicans.  Republicans are cheering her on because dammit, we need more East Texas justice.

And, Honey, public servant doesn’t fit you real well.  But, I guess that drooling blood-thirsty lying cult leader doesn’t fit on a bumper sticker.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

Please meet Republican State Representative Pat Fallon from Frisco, Texas, which is really just North Dallas.

He’s what they call “a real Christian man” around here.

And he went on the radio to prove it.  He’s taking this war on Christmas thing real serious.  Damn serious.  Holy crap on fire serious with — prepare yourself — some issues.  He ain’t messin’ around with these agnostics and the separation of church and state people, which in his mind are the same exact thing.

What is wrong with America, my friend, is that there is not near enough Christmas and Ole St. Pat is putting on the merry and grabbing up his shotgun and making Christmas happen.

Later in the broadcast, Fallon revealed that he and his wife are going to print up t-shirts that say “Merry Christmas” on the front and “Jesus is the reason for the season” and then hand them out to school children who will be encouraged to wear the shirts to school on the last day before winter break.

“And I tell you right now,” Fallon warned, “they’d better not send any of those children home, or there’s going to be some issues.”

Hellfire and brimstone ain’t got nothing on “some issues.”  I just learned from experts in the issues department that “some issues” means more than one, you know, like tar and feathers.  Not just tar and not just feathers but the two combined like pancakes and syrup.  Same deal with “some issues.”  I dunno about you, but I’m real dandy scared of “some issues.”

It’s that time of year when compulsory joy is flowing like sludge down the septic tank from Christians making “there’s going to be some issues” threats.

They will pressure little baby children into uniforms and force them to fight Pat Fallon’s political battles.  You know, like Christians do.  After all, Matthew reported that Jesus said, “Suffer the little children to come unto me and I will put them in some damn tee-shirts advertising my brand and beat the holy shineola outta anybody who says that little children shouldn’t be political pawns.”  Oh, and “Amen.”

I flat forgot who sent me this.  I know someone did so please take credit!

And speaking of South Dakota …

A mom was accidentally shot in the leg trying to take a loaded revolver away from her toddler on Thursday, according to Rapid City police.

The 22-year-old mother discovered her 23-month-old son playing with an unsecured revolver around 9 p.m. in a home on East Custer Street, according to police spokeswoman Tarah Heupel.

Two shots were fired from the gun when she attempted to take the weapon. One bullet hit her in the leg. She was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Hey, I can understand one shot, but I think the second shot was just spiteful and deserves an extra 10 minutes in the timeout corner.

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.
