Okay, what are you guys doing out there? My email server is sporatic today and my domain server recovered from a DNS event yesterday and was down all afternoon having this:

 We’re working to resolve an issue where a bad web server configuration was pushed out to production web servers. This is causing all web servers to be down at the moment while we work to roll this back.

I have no idea if that’s even English.

So, it’s hit or miss on my email today and might soon again be a total miss on my website if they don’t feed the hamsters.

If you’re causing all this, please stop.  It’s getting on my nerves.

Those of you following the American Spring movement in Washington, Dee Cee, will want to know that the attendance fell just a tad short of of the projected 10 to 30 million.

You know, like by 9,999,975.  But close.  Hey, in cosmic terms, that’s like a smidgeon.

Mostly, they napped.

I am told there was a lot of whittling and some pretty dandy dagnabbit contests.

Y’all we really need to find something for old white men to do.  Cussing at the guvmint isn’t taking up all their time.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Senator Thad Cochran is a Republican senator from Mississippi.   He has a Tea Party opponent.  So, that gives people the right to open the gates of hell and sashay right in.

A right wing blogger that supports the Tea Party opponent of US Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) has been arrested for sneaking into an adult care facility and taking a photo of Cochran’s wife, who is being treated for Alzheimer’s.

The Photographer

Cochran’s opponent says he knew nothing about it and didn’t not approve it.  Yeah, but he talked the talk that caused the walk.  When your language dehumanizes your opponents, people take that seriously as a message to cross the boundaries of decency.

Republicans are the single most despicable people in America.

That and they are funny-looking.

I don’t like ‘um and always will.

Thanks to John for the heads up.

Arizona is trying to take Gun Capital of the World away from Texas.

Get a load of this:  Arizona Republican congressional candidates were having a debate.

Gunnin’ Gary

Congressional District 1 candidate Gary Kiehne made extreme comments about gun rights at a Republican primary debate Saturday.

Asked how he would protect gun rights, Kiehne said he owns more guns and ammunition than the other candidates and said everyone should own a gun.

When it comes to mass shootings, “if you look at all the fiascos that have occurred, 99 percent of them have been by Democrats pulling their guns out and shooting people,” Kiehne said to an audience of about 60 people. “So I don’t think you have a problem with the Republicans.”

All mass killers are Democrats.  There’s an easy way to fix that.  Shoot first, ask party affiliation later.

Not to be outdone, which is a monumental mountain to climb after Kiehne, his opponent had an answer.

Candidate Adam Kwasman said he supports gun rights and said, “it’s a God-given, natural right to keep and bear arms.”

And what’s up with God for not giving guns before the ninth century?  What’s up with that?  Jesus sure could have used one.

Here’s the debate winner …

Candidate Andy Tobin did not attend the event, which was hosted by the Pinal County Republican Committee.

Obviously, he was out buying a gun.

Thanks to Larry for the heads up.

Just as the fun in the Texas Lt. Governor’s race is about to end, Rick Perry and Ted Cruz have decided to start the battle of “Which Dope From Texas Gets To Run For President”.

It’s gonna be fun.

Cruz threw the first witch slap.  You know how Rick Perry has been strutting around the country saying he’s totally responsible for Texas’ booming economy?

Sen. Ted Cruz says Rick Perry has been an effective leader, but dismissed the idea that Perry is responsible for a booming economy that has created more than 1 million jobs since he’s been governor.

Asked Friday about Perry’s job-creation message, Cruz said he’s been a good governor. But he added, “There isn’t a politician in this country who’s responsible for the economic growth we have. The economic growth has come from the private sector, it’s come from entrepreneurs. Nothing drives me crazier than politicians who run around talking about the jobs they’ve created. Politicians are very good at killing jobs, but they don’t create jobs.”

Bam!  Rick Perry kills jobs.

So what Cruz is saying is that anarchy creates jobs. Yeah, what this country needs are more robber barons, bygawd!

Y’all, don’t you think that one set of brawling Republican white men should have to stop fighting before another set can start? Cripes, I need a damn score card to keep up with all this.

And John put in this visual of Texas politics.

So I was at a Democratic county party meeting this morning and a crawfish boil fundraiser this afternoon.  Word got around pretty quickly about the best damn thing that happened all day.  (Well, expect for Ruben’s crawfish.)

Washington (CNN) – President Barack Obama intends to nominate San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro to be his next secretary of Housing and Urban Development, a government source said Saturday.

The 39-year old, three-term mayor first gained national recognition when he delivered the keynote address at the 2012 Democratic National Convention – the first Hispanic to do so.

Now I’m hear to tell you that’s the smartest thing President Obama has done all year!

Julián Castro is better than recess in heaven.
