We here at the World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc. are proud to announce the winner of the Conservative Republican Straw Presidential Poll.

It’s – ta! da! – Ted Cruz.  Second place went to nobody.

Cruz took 30 percent of the vote at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans. He edged out conservative speaker and author Ben Carson.

Organizers at the annual conference say about a third out of 1,500 delegates voted in the straw poll. Delegates had to pay to register for the conference and vote in the straw poll.

Cruz promised delegates Saturday to continue his uncompromising approach on Capitol Hill.
Carson did not address delegates before the voting.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Texas Gov. Rick Perry trailed Cruz and Carson in the poll.

Poor Rick Perry.  He came in behind The Preacher Who Isn’t Running and Who The Hell Is Ben Carson.

By the way, this was following Ted’s speech at the convention, where he lambasted Republicans.  Yeah, his own party.

Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas lambasted unidentified Republicans Saturday, likening them to operatives in the former Soviet Union.

“You know, a lot of Republicans — it’s very odd — a lot of Republicans tend to have top down, Soviet-style campaigns,” Cruz told reporters at a Republican gathering in New Orleans.

Republicans are so unpopular that the most popular Republican is popular only because he dislikes Republicans.  Just thinking about that will make your head hurt.

That chuckling sound you hear is Hillary Clinton.

So some of these folks who walk around town in Texas carrying assault rifles decided that harassing a marine for speaking out against them might be fun.

(Momma, don’t watch this because there’s bad language.)

These gun freaks say “we’re just out here demonstrating our rights.”  Oddly, they don’t feel the necessity to demonstrate any of their other rights.  Just this one.

You know, I have a right to carry a fully operational chain saw into a movie theater but that doesn’t mean that people are going to feel comfortable around me.  Or that it’s serving any purpose whatsoever except to show off my chainsaw and to be weird.  I mean, it’s not likely that there’s going to be any oddly placed brush for me to clear the path for the citizenry at the movie theater.  It’s also highly unlikely that any unsuspect

Here’s something to ponder.  In Texas, we have illegal knives —

The definition of an Illegal Knife in Sec. 46.01(6)(C) still includes “dagger, including but not limited to dirk, stilletto and poniard.” That has not changed. None of these type knives, dagger, etc., are defined in Texas law, but based on case law generally you should assume that a “dagger” covers any double-edged blade. This would include automatic knives with double-edged blades.

— but not guns.  You can carry an automatic gun but you can’t carry an automatic knife.

What the hell is with that?
