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.

Actual Sign on my way home from Austin —

And the actual real building that goes with it.

It just seems a little disappointing.

My favorite breaking news in a damn year.

John Boehner has to be sweating orange crush.

He’s baaaaaack.

After losing his tongue for a while, Louie Gohmert is back with Nazis on his mind.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said on the House floor Friday that liberals who call anti-gay-marriage Christians “haters” are subjecting them to persecution similar to how Nazis treated Jews during the Holocaust.

“It is amazing that in the name of liberality, in the name of being tolerant, this fascist intolerance has arisen,” Gohmert began.

Louie, have we called the lions yet?  No, we have not.  Calm your butt down, child.

Pointing out your intolerance is not intolerant.  Ignoring it, however, is chickenpoop.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up and John for the graphic.
