Annette Bosworth ran for the Republican Party nomination for US Senate in South Dakota.

Dr. Annette Bosworth lost the US Republican Senate Primary seat in Tuesday’s election.

Bosworth said she made a commitment to God to serve South Dakota for forty years, so that’s what she plans to do.

Humm … I wonder why 40 years.  Maybe it has something to do with floods and she got days and years mixed up.

Well, as if losing wasn’t enough, she found out today that forging 40% of the signatures on your petition to file for office might make those 40 years seem like 40 to life.

Former South Dakota Senate Candidate Dr. Annette Bosworth was informed at 9:28am this morning by Sgt. Jason Gearman of the Minnehaha Sheriff’s office that a warrant had been issued for her arrest by Attorney General Marty Jackley.

Bosworth was told by her attorney that the charge relate to election activity, specifically petition signatures.

So, I guess that whole “commitment to God to serve South Dakota for 40 years” make a whole lot more sense if you take out the South Dakota.

Of course she was endorsed by …

And not to be outdone —

Yeah, ole Sarah and Ted can really pick ‘um.

Thanks to Mike for the heads up.

Okay, so I know you’ve been wondering what kind of people elect Louie Gohmert.

This kind.

LUFKIN, Texas (AP) — A domestic disturbance call at an East Texas home includes a police report that a woman used a dead catfish to smack her sister-in-law in the face.

Officers were summoned after a woman allegedly used a fish to slap her sister-in-law in the face, the brother and sister argued and he asked his sibling to leave. Shurley says the sister called police to report being assaulted.

And she did not even know the catfish was loaded?  She was cleaning her catfish and it went off accidentally?

I know one of my rules of life is don’t hack-off a woman holding a catfish.

Oh, NRA, bless your heart, you are such sissies.

First you call the wacky long gun toters in Texas “weird,” then you say that by weird you mean “patriot.”

Speaketh the NRA —

Now, the truth is, an alert went out that referred to this type of behavior as weird, or somehow not normal. And that was a mistake. It shouldn’t have happened. I’ve had a discussion with the staffer who wrote that piece, and expressed his personal opinion. Our job is not to criticize the lawful behavior of fellow gun owners.”

See, here’s the deal.  Homosexuality is weird.  Women wanting control of their own bodies is weird.  Health care for unemployed infants is weird.  Misfit-looking men walking around with automatic weapons is perfectly normal.

Honey, to tell you the truth, I have an electric egg beater that doesn’t spin that fast.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up!

The Steeple People put up a billboard in Alabama to display their work with children.

That’s cool.  Everybody ought to love children.

Even Hitler.

Yep.  Hitler said that alright.  But I don’t think he meant it in the good way.  Wait, there’s a Bible quote under there that seems to indicate that Hitler was right.  Whoa, cowpokes, what’s the message here?

The 1935 quote was said in reference to the Hitler Youth program, which indoctrinated children in preparation for joining the Nazi Party.

Life Savers Ministries founder James Anderegg told the Ledger-Enquirer that it had been a mistake to use the Hitler quote, and that the billboard would be taken down on Tuesday.

Mistake?  Ya think?

Here’s their website.  No mention of Hitler there.  Thank goodness.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

I would like to give a standing ovation to Stonekettle Station for the Holy Grail of Hissy Fits.

Thanks to Fenway Fran for the heads up.

There’s a saying in Texas, “Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction.”

Stay away from Herman Cain.

 The pizza magnate, who at one point topped all Republican challengers during the 2012 Republican presidential primary before dropping out amidst allegations of multiple affairs, suggested on Saturday that he would return to the campaign trail in 2016 if called upon God to do so.

It kinda makes you wonder about this God who tells all these people to run for President and then jerks the rug out from under them while howling with laughter. I’d only fall for that God trick once. Being left up the creek in a wire boat ain’t exactly my idea of a good and loving God.

I mean, I’m all for the clown car leaving the garage again, and it might be even more fun with Cain driving this time, but how much fun can a girl stand?
