I’m a woman.  Please forgive my small brain.  I can’t help it.  I was born that way.

It is a well-known scientific fact that testosterone makes a brain bigger and therefore smarter.  And, that toting around a set of ta-tas is a brain drain.

Charles Murray

I am so glad to know that the man who wants to be our next Governor recognizes gender science as being valid and, you know, scientific.  The Republican nominee for Governor, Greg Abbott, quotes Charles Murray in Abbott’s education plan to cut pre-K and kindergarten programs in Texas to the tune of $200,000,000.  But, all those zeros are justified because Charles Murray has set American straight about things like women, minorities, and the poor.

Especially women.

“No woman has been a significant original thinker in any of the world’s great philosophical traditions,” he wrote. “Women have produced a smaller number of important visual artists, and none that is clearly in the first rank. No female composer is even close to the first rank. Social restrictions undoubtedly damped down women’s contributions in all of the arts, but the pattern of accomplishment that did break through is strikingly consistent with what we know about the respective strengths of male and female cognitive repertoires.”

Yep, women be dumb.  Duh dumb.  And don’t even get Charles Murray started on minorities.

In Charles Murray’s world, white rich males are the smartest.  So, I guess I’m wondering how all these white rich males running our state government got us into the biggest damn mess I’ve ever seen.  Maybe they’ve been over-bred, I dunno.

Honey, when all that stands between you and a rock bottom education system is the state of Mississippi, you’re in big trouble.  Two more rich white boys move to Mississippi and you’re dead last.

Y’all, this is just a heads up.  I don’t think I’m going to make it to November without blowing a gasket.  You’re gonna show up here one day and all you’re going to see is my pounding forehead on the keyboard.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

I hate Republicans.  I do.

I know we all have a First Amendment right, but by gawd, nobody’s voice should be louder than anybody else’s.

I have worked hard, lived a good life and I follow the law.  If she wanted to, Paris Hilton could have a louder voice than I do in about serves in congress because she inherited money.

Damn.

Another crappy decision from the boys.

Y’all have heard me talk about Sheriff Goofy before.  Well, he’s retired Sheriff Goofy now.  He retired and spent all his free time getting his chief deputy elected sheriff.  The boy spent $550,000 – five time what his opponent did – and he came in third in the two man race.  Hell, he didn’t even win his parent’s precinct.  That’s almost sad.  

Anyway, Sheriff Goofy (who has the born name of Milton Wright and there is certainly evidence to the rumor that his middle name is “Not”), has decided to run for Richmond City Council.

First off, he’s so old that we have to carbon date him to figure out how many candles to put on his birthday cake.

Second off, he’s the laziest man in town.

Third off, everybody knows that he’s running to get his former chief deputy a job as the new police chief.

A local newspaper called him the Law and Order candidate.  Why?  He watches a lot of teevee re-runs?  If he is so big on law and order, how come his political signs are completely illegal?

First off, there’s no disclaimer as required by the Texas Ethics commission.

Second, since he’s not the incumbent, he is required to use the word FOR in his ads and signs.

Just let the Republicans try to take it away now.

Thanks to everybody who sent me this for the heads up!

Every time something goes in Tom DeLay’s favor, he jumps up, waves his Bible around and says that Jesus loves him real special.

Maybe not so much.

It seems that all those secret DOJ files when Tom DeLay was being investigated are now open to public inspection.  I, for one, kept wondering why every single one of his friends got indicted but Tom never did.  Now we get to find out why.

The DOJ said the public did not have a right to see the files because Tom DeLay’s “privacy interests.”  Yeah, that’s some caca del toro.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the Department of Justice (DOJ) had failed entirely to justify withholding documents from its closed investigation of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX).

A special thanks should go to CREW, the watchdogs that keep fighting.

Now this does not mean that we get to see the files tomorrow.  It goes back to district court where the Department of Justice gets to explain why Tom DeLay, public official, has a “privacy interest.” Honey, he didn’t seem too concerned about privacy when he shook his butt on Dancing With the Stars, or now that he’s showing his butt on Fox News.  How come what he did on our payroll gets to be private.

“… the D.C. Circuit said in this latest opinion, “prominent and influential public officials are subjected to the same investigative scrutiny and prosecutorial zeal as local aldermen and little-known lobbyists.”

No shoot, Sherlock.

Thanks to Alfredo at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

Well, isn’t that special?

It seems very convenient that Hobby Lobby wants to be against contraception when it’s going to cost them money in providing health insurance.  But, oh boy!, they are all for it when it comes to making them money.

When Hobby Lobby filed its case against Obamacare’s contraception mandate, its retirement plan had more than $73 million invested in funds with stakes in contraception makers.

These include drug companies that produce drugs specifically made to induce abortions and also drug companies that make contraception and Plan B.

So …. Hobby Lobby ain’t real particular about what is inside the cup, just so long the outside is clean.

The Book of Matthew, Chapter 23

25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence.
26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.

Hobby Lobby: We do not want to provide contraception.  We just want to make money off of it.

Thanks to David for the heads up.
