Okay, I had to check around to see if this one is a parody. Apparently, it’s not.
A West Virginia hospital is having a fundraiser, where the door prize is a matched set of Rugers — a .357 and a .44. A set. You know, His and Hers. Bank robber, get away driver.
The theme is “Building a Healthy Future … One Bullet At a Time?”
Thanks to Carl for the heads up.
Okay, let me start this by saying that Rick Perry is not gay. Not at all. Not even a little bit. Not gay. Rick = no gay. Nada gayito.
He was asked yesterday about the Texas Republican Party’s platform wanting reparative therapy for gay people because, obviously, they need repairing.
(Reuters) – Texas Governor Rick Perry, seen as a potential Republican presidential candidate in the 2016 election, compared homosexuality to alcoholism in remarks in San Francisco.
“I may have the genetic coding that I’m inclined to be an alcoholic, but I have the desire not to do that,” Perry said in remarks broadcast on the local CBS affiliate. “And I look at the homosexual issue in the same way.”
A few people in the audience gasped in response, according to the CBS report.
Yeah, just say no. You know, it worked so well with the drug thing that it just has to work with The Gay. Hell, that doesn’t even work with alcoholism.
Rick, dude, take off your not gay cowboy hat and put on your thinking cap: you were in San Francisco. Even the most conservative Republican in the entire city believes gay is okay.
Reminder: Rick Perry is not gay.
Thanks to everybody and Aunt Mildred for the heads up. I love you guys.
You’ve probably heard the name of Jeb Hensarling being tossed about to replace Cantor. Hensarling says he is “prayerfully weighing” a run for Majority Leader.
What, Me Worry Hensarling
The best that can be said of Hensaling is that he’s not Louie Gohmert. But, he comes close. You have to give him points for trying.
I can help you learn a few things about Hensarling. Let’s take a trip down Juanita’s Memory Lane.
He doesn’t think much of President Obama.
His favorite kind of money is the dirty kind.
He was chairman of the oversight committee of Credit Suisse.
He blocked legislation that could have prevented the financial crisis of 2008.
Paul Krugman can poke him with a stick.
He’s Phil Gramm’s link to congress.
Boehner thinks he’s better than Bachmann.
If you want the 1% to flourish and politicians to get kickbacks from it, then Hensarling is your man.
UPDATED: Just now from The Hill —
House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) will not run to replace Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) as majority leader.
The conservative favorite said in a statement Thursday he was not going to challenge Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) or Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) for the No. 2 spot in House GOP leadership.
Oh great, Pistol Pete Sessions, who eats bullets for breakfast so he can shoot off his mouth all day. We just left the frying pan – look out fire!
Scott Esk lives in Oklahoma, is a Tea Party approved candidate, is running for House District 91 state representative, has rocks and a Bible but only and knows how to use the rocks.
On the Facebook, someone asked him about punishment for homosexuality. Stoning, maybe?
Esk responded …
Someone asked – “So just to be clear, you think we should execute homosexuals (presumably by stoning)?”
Esk responds – “I think we would be totally in the right to do it. That goes against some parts of libertarianism, I realize, and I’m largely libertarian, but ignoring as a nation things that are worthy of death is very remiss.”
Holy cow! Somebody get the rocks out of his pocket and his head.
Thanks to Sandy for the heads up.
I love Arkansas. I love the Ozark mountains and the Capitol Hotel in Little Rock. I sat on the floor and sobbed at the Central High School National Historic Museum. I love Green Forest and my Aunt Rhea’s apple trees. I love the Buffalo River in the fall and little cabins where you don’t even get radio reception. I love The Winery and their sweet grape wines.
And then there’s this guy, State Senator Jason Rapert …
Jason and his very prissy mustache
A Republican state legislator miffed about an Arkansas judge’s ruling that struck down the state’s same-sex marriage ban suggested on a conservative radio show that politicians should emulate Saudi Arabia by basing laws off Christian doctrine, as Saudi Arabia does with Islam.
And he’s not joking either.
That’s why they call him the Senator from Tealiban.
Thanks to Charles for the heads up.
I have to drive through LaMarque on my way to Galveston. In the future, I won’t drink the water or breathe the air.
Connie Trube, a two-term La Marque City Council member, made the comments while discussing the financial and academic troubles in the La Marque Independent School District with the husband of a political adversary, reported KPRC-TV.
“It’s not going to get any better until you get those blacks off the school board,” Trube says on the recording. “She really turned black. She got on the school board with the rest of the blacks and they all just ganged up and that’s why the school system has gone to hell.”
And then, she refused to apologize. Even though she has been censured by city council, she ain’t backing down.
“What is on the tape is nothing more than me stating my honest opinion, and I don’t back down from that,” Trube said. “I never denied what was on the tape.”
But, of course, we’re being intolerant of her intolerance if we ask her to be tolerant.
Thanks to Chickenbonewill for the heads up.
