The Republican Party in Illinois have a woman who won their primary named Susanne Atanus who wants to be a congressperson.

To say that she’s wacky is to give wacky a good reputation.

“God controls the weather. God is angry. We are provoking him with abortions and same-sex marriage and civil unions,” she continued. “Same-sex activity is going to increase AIDS. If it’s in our military, it will weaken our military. We need to respect God.”

She told another source …

“Everybody knows that God controls weather,” she told the news site in January. “God is super angry,” she added.

There is a picture of Ms. Atanus.  I do not know what she did to piss off God.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Why do we always end up back here with Democratic Women versus Republican Girls?

Up in Minnesoooota, Democratic State Rep. Carly Melin introduced some bills asking for equal pay for equal work, expand access to child care, and paid sick leave.

Well, the Republican girls weren’t having any of that.

“We heard several bills last week about women’s issues and I kept thinking to myself, these bills are putting us backwards in time,” State Rep. Andrea Kieffer (R) told colleagues at a Wednesday hearing on one of the measures. “We are losing the respect that we so dearly want in the workplace by bringing up all these special bills for women and almost making us look like whiners.”

In Minnesota, women make 80 cent for every dollar a man makes in the same job.

Here’s my plan for dealing with Andrea.  Let’s don’t whine that she’s whining about us whining.  Let’s just kick her ass.

Thanks to Jay for the heads up.

Kesha Rogers is in a runoff with Dr. David Almeel for the Democratic US senate race in Texas.

She’s a stinker and having met her many times, I can assure you that this woman is barely holding on to reality.  She’s a Lyndon Larouche cult follower so she has wacky ideas.  She thinks the Queen of England runs the world and that our first order of business should be to colonize Mars.  Yeah, the planet.

She is also obsessed with Nazis.  She stands on street corners holding up pictures with President Obama sporting a Hitler mustache.  And the sign to the right is now on their webpage.  They use the word “Nazi” in place of the word “bad.”  You know like, “My blind date last night was Nazi.”  Or, “Watch out!  That soup is Nazi.”

Anyway, to no ones surprise, the Federal Election Commission has some questions about her “petty cash” account.  It seems she has gotten loose with the statutes.  Caution:  Legal Mumbo Jumbo ahead.

Let me set this up for you.  Missing airplane.  Fox News.

Fox News host Bill Hemmer on Wednesday suggested that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 may never be found because “it took us 2,000 years to find Noah’s Ark.”

“So, what, it took us 100 years to find the Titanic?” Hemmer noted. “It took us 2,000 years to find Noah’s Ark. Do we ever find flight 370?”

Y’all, when did we find Noah’s ark?  I must have been napping.

Thanks to Irene for the heads up.

Y’all, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals granted a petition of discretionary review to review the reversal of Tom DeLay criminal conviction.

Honey, I have been paying the right preacher!

This means that the fat lady ain’t sang yet, and Tom DeLay’s pronouncements that he’s “been found innocent” is wrong, wrong, wrong.  It could be overturned.

Now, here’s the fun part.  There are 9 judges on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.   Six months ago, all 9 of them were Republicans but one judge, Lawrence Meyers, just switched to being a Democrat because Republicans make his skin crawl.  For the court to grant this petition, at least 5 of them, or maybe all nine, voted that this reversal needs some attention.  And that means some of the 8 Republicans is probably pretty sick of seeing Tom DeLay strut around like he’s never done anything wrong.

The state’s highest court on criminal matters announced that it would accept a petition asking it to consider whether a 2-1 decision by the Third Court of Appeals overturning DeLay’s criminal case conviction was appropriate.

The appellate court in September 2013 tossed a high-profile jury verdict, ruling that “the evidence was legally insufficient to sustain DeLay’s convictions.” In a dissent, the lone Democrat on the three-judge panel argued the evidence for a conviction was sufficient enough to convince a rational jury that criminal conduct had taken place.

This is great news for the State of Texas, the Travis County DA’s office, and Lady Justice.

And me.  This is great news for me because I think Tom DeLay is a bigger crook than we’ll ever know.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.

My friend Brazos County Chair Maggie Charlton is still laughing.
