Lindsey Graham is certain, just certain, that Benghazi is going to be the Democrat downfall in 2014.

“I think Democrats are gonna have to start making President Obama account for his leadership. Where was he that night? Did he know it was a terrorist attack? Why did he say for two weeks we think it was a protest? How could he have done that?”

Well, that might be more believable if ….

One interesting thing about the voters who think Benghazi is the biggest political scandal in American history is that 39% of them don’t actually know where it is. 10% think it’s in Egypt, 9% in Iran, 6% in Cuba, 5% in Syria, 4% in Iraq, and 1% each in North Korea and Liberia with 4% not willing to venture a guess.

And then Public Policy Polling jumps in, too.

 The poll also showed most Americans trust Hillary Clinton over Republicans on Benghazi, by a 49-39 margin.

Is it just me or is Pope Francis becoming more like Donald Trump?  You’re fired!

And here’s the cool part.

On Feb. 16, 2013, just days after announcing his resignation, Pope Benedict XVI confirmed the existing members of the bank’s supervisory body for another five years. The members included Benedict’s longtime deputy and secretary of state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, who was widely blamed for many of the Vatican’s administrative shortcomings during Benedict’s papacy.

Francis has now essentially undone Benedict’s decree, relieving Bertone and the other commission members of their jobs as he moves forward with his reform of the bank, formally known as the Institute for Religious Works.

So, the old Pope, who is still living but apparently no longer infallible (you know, like that’s something that comes and goes with the cool hat), tried to keep control of the money but the new Pope was on that like white on rice.

Okay, okay, now if he’ll just appoint some women ….

Okay, so you’re a supermodel princess married to a famous quarterback.  You go get a rental car at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and then return it two hours later for another car.

There was just one problem: she forgot to grab her AR-15.

The vehicle was subsequently rented by a New York woman and her daughter, but they drove it for two days before spotting the bag that contained the weapon. Alarmed, the woman’s daughter quickly jumped out of the vehicle to get away from the weapon.

Lauren Tannehill is the supermodel wife of Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

No laws were broken.

She’s blonde, y’all.  And apparently ready to shoot your butt.

While I firmly and completely believe that Republicans are people who have had a humorectomy, I’m beginning to think they have also had a logicectomy.

Take today’s example:  Republican Congressman Bob Goodlatte from the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Ole Bob has a new anti-choice thought:  having babies is good for the economy.  So, Sister, if you ain’t pumping ‘um out yearly, you are what’s causing the economic slump.

“I would suggest that it is very much the case that those of us in the majority support this legislation because it is the morally right thing to do, but it is also very very true that having a growing population and having new children brought into the world is not harmful to job creation,” Goodlatte said, as recorded by the Huffington Post. “It very much promotes job creation for all the care and services and so on that need to be provided by a lot of people to raise children.”

And if the parent can’t afford to pay for all that job creation?  What then, Bob?  Huh, Bob?  Cat got your Republican tongue, Bob?

Slave labor?  Are you asking women to reproduce for all your minimum wage no benefits jobs?  It’s cool if you are, Bob, because you’re a jerk either way.

By the way, Bob, I noticed that you are not contributing much to the economy.  Two children?  Phhhffff.

Within a Couple of Hours of me posting this, Louie sent me a kiss.

Louie is very, very upset about Oklahoma judges saying that denying rights to same gender duple is unconstitutional.

There goes my counter

Gohmert said that these judges are denying the biological reasons for restricting marriage to between a man and a woman.

“‘Basically, we haven’t seen any biological evidence to support marriage being between a man and a woman,'” he said, summarizing the judges’ rulings during a Heritage Foundation event, according to Roll Call.

And so the Texas representative said that the judges “need some basic plumbing lessons.”

And Louie could use some physics lessons.  Dude, it fits a lotta places.

I am a fifth generation Texan.  I was pretty near fully grown before I knew that Oklahoma Sucks was two separate words.

So now their state legislature is coming real close to taking the cake.

State Rep Sally Kern heard a rumor that some student was suspended for eating his Pop Tart into the shape of a gun.  That’s what she heard and she’s sticking to it.  The fact that it wasn’t in her state and might have happened somewhere in Maryland was not cause for her to shrink from the horror of little children doing what comes naturally.

Oklahoma schoolchildren could not be punished for chewing their breakfast pastries into the shape of a gun under a bill introduced by a Republican legislator.

Rep. Sally Kern said Wednesday that her measure, dubbed the Common Sense Zero Tolerance Act, was in response to school districts’ policies that she believes are too strict or inflexible. She cited a recent Maryland case where a boy was suspended from school for chewing a Pop Tart into the shape of a gun.

Under Kern’s bill, children could bring “small” toy weapons to school which ought to cause some real fun guessing games for other students and teachers.  “Is It Real,” is such fun in the cafeteria line!

Yes, the menace of pop tart art is first and foremost on Ms. Kern’s mind and Oklahomans should sleep better tonight knowing that.
