Flower Mound, Texas, is trapped beween Fort Worth and Denton in northern Texas.   There are about 65,000 souls who call it home.  The population is 84% white, 8% Latino, and 4% African American.  It glows in the dark.

Tom Hayden, the Mayor of Flower Mound, is a man who loves his Bible and doesn’t think you’re living right.

“… the morality that helped build our country is based on the values that are found in the Bible. And as we look at problems, maybe we’re getting away from those values. And in my little small way, I want to encourage people to get back into those values.”

Accordingly, he officially declared 2014 the “year of the Bible.”

Hummm … I guess The Year of Zane Grey was taken.

He’s got a website going, which we hope isn’t being paid with city taxes, where the begats are going to get be-boring.  They are reading the New King James Version, which is not King James at all and makes my skin crawl, but that’s just me and I don’t live in Flower Mound and that’s probably why.

Tom Hayden makes mention of the fact that President Ronald Reagan also declared 1983 to be the Year of the Bible.

Humm … 1983, the year of the bombing of the embassy in Beirut, Hurricane Alicia, unemployment rises in the US to 12 million the highest figure since 1941, and we invaded Grenada.  I’m not sure this Year of the Bible thing works but if Flower Mound invades Lewisville, we know who to blame.

Thanks to Cheryl for the heads up.

Oh, Barack Obama, what insanity you cause.

Please meet Radio Chatterbox Erik Rush.  In November, he predicted that the President was going to bomb 90% of the United States so that he and Valerie Jarret could live in luxury bunkers while George Soros made billions of dollars betting against the US dollar.  This plan also includes that “Bathhouse Barry” … “will blackmail every politician, military leader and police officer in America to get himself a third term.”  See, it makes sense – that’s why Soros needs so much money.

And the main place to be bombed is Charleston, South Carolina because … hey, your guess is as good is mine.  Something about Lindsey Graham, I suspect.  I’ve been to Charleston South Carolina, and honestly, it doesn’t look that dangerous to me.  It’s too hot and humid to get off the porch most days.

Well, since that didn’t work out, Obama had a backup plan, and it’s a doozy.

This plan involves Barack Obama using aliens and Canadians to hurt you.  Yes, you.  You personally.  It was brought forth by Jim Garrow.

“What we’re going to see soon is an unveiling of the concept that we have in fact been contacted by and have been in communication with people from other civilizations beyond earth and that will be part of the great deception that is forthcoming soon from Mr. Obama,” Garrow told Rush.

Garrow added that Obama will claim he is in contact with aliens as part of “the greatest deception that mankind has ever faced” all in order to increase his popularity and help his low poll numbers. But according to Garrow, the man who revealed the details of the plan, which he says was devised in the 1960s, was murdered by Obama in Hong Kong!

Okay, okay, if this plan was devised in the 1960’s that mean that Barack Obama, who was born in August of 1961, is a damn genius child prodigy.  And let’s face it, everydamnthing that happened in the 1960’s is scary as hell to these people.

And there’s the whole Canadian/Chinese whatyamacallit.

As for the Americans who rise up against Obama and aren’t deceived by his alien plot, Rush predicted that patriotic civilians and soldiers will fight Obama’s Chinese-United Nations army. Garrow even said that Obama will send in troops from Canada to bring down the insurgency: “Obama can ask [Canadian Prime Minister] Harper to send troops into America to help quell the rioting and vice versa.”

And vice versa?  Whoa, there’s rioting in Canada?  You never mentioned rioting in Canada.  Who’s rioting in Canada?  And we have a Chinese Army?  Where did we get that?

Kinda makes you look forward to what stories they’re going to come up with about the first woman President.

Thanks to John for the heads up.

My email box was stuffed on New Years Eve with politicians and issue groups begging money for the midnight end of year deadline that will show up in the January filings.

David Dewhurst, man of the tampons, had a different idea.  Check the date and time it went out.  (Click the little one to get the big one.)

Maybe we can get his supporters to believe election day is a day late and a dollar short.

Thanks to Jane for the heads up.

Hey Bubbie, are you snowed in and need something fun to start off the New Year?

Thanks Rolling Stone.

And, of course, our own Steve Stockman kicks it off.

Thanks to Lindy for the heads up.

Remember how the answer to any obviously yes question used to be, “Is the Pope Catholic?”  Use that at your own peril now.

It appears that the Pope may be just incidentally Catholic.

He’s rankled the REAL Pope.  Who has taken it to the Cardinal.  The Pope’s latest comments about Christianity vs. Capitalism have upset some folks.

Ken Langone, the Pope of Hammers

At issue is an effort to raise $180 million for the restoration of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York being spearheaded by billionaire Ken Langone, the investor known for founding Home Depot, among other things.

Langone told CNBC that one potential seven-figure donor is concerned about statements from the pope criticizing market economies as “exclusionary,” urging the rich to give more to the poor and criticizing a “culture of prosperity” that leads some to become “incapable of feeling compassion for the poor.”

Langone said he’s raised the issue more than once with Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York, most recently at a breakfast in early December at which he updated him on fundraising progress.

And what did Langone whine to the Cardinal about?

“I’ve told the cardinal, ‘Your Eminence, this is one more hurdle I hope we don’t have to deal with. You want to be careful about generalities. Rich people in one country don’t act the same as rich people in another country,’ ” he said.

Oh yeah, rich people in America are way different than foreign rich people at getting camels through the eye of a needle.  To begin with, very few rich people in America have camels.

Cardinal Dolan

Langone rips off his workers for billions of dollars and then tosses a million to a restoration project to get his name on a church, just like Jesus said to do.

I cannot wait for Langone to make his plea of calling sacrificing the poor just “one more hurdle” to Jesus.  I’ve heard from moneychangers in the temple that Jesus has a bit of a temper.

And shame on Cardinal Dolan if he didn’t say, “Hey, Langone, kiss my funny red hat.”

I would have said that and I don’t even have a funny red hat.
