The Supreme Court voted nine to zip today to strike down a buffer zone at abortion clinics.  This allows nut to shadow women into the clinic screaming in her ears.  This permits First Amendment shaming.

NARAL has an interesting picture.

Yep, The Supremes have a much, much larger buffer zone.

I wonder if they have a mirror.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Customer Alan from Austin wrote this and it cracked me up.  Enjoy!

The high bar for hilarity got set when a spike buck got caught up in the clothesline and ran off with my aunt’s drawers, but this ranks right up there…

Well that rascally TPer McDaniel has been stompin’ and rantin’ about how those eeeevil Demon-cratz crossed party lines and just up and helped Cochran steal the runoff from “legitimate” Republicans. In fact, McDaniel is so fuming mad that he’s won’t concede defeat and has yet to say if he’ll even support Cochran as the party nominee.

Note that crossing party lines to screw with the other side isn’t new — see Rush’s “Operation Chaos” — but move over auntie because the bar just got set higher:

“The conservative candidate [McDaniel] running against Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) voted as a Democrat in Mississippi’s state primary in 2003, according to records obtained by the Clarion-Ledger in Jackson, Mississippi.”

Before the summer’s out, I expect to find a GOP candidate in MS involved with a gay transvestite coke-snortin’ illegal underage alien hooker.

Politics in Mississippi hasn’t been this much fun since the ballot box bounced out of the back of a station wagon and went over the bridge, never to be found — or so it’s said. Sometimes I really do miss my home state. Sometime when you’re back Austin way and we finally get a chance to meet, I’ll tell you the story of how liquor laws changed in Mississippi. Hint: It involves a governor, a Mardi Gras party, and a drunk sheriff.

Okay, so let’s say I really, really double dog dislike someone and I decide to send them something to let them know that I don’t like them and always will.

Okay, so what would I send them?  Dirt?  A cow patty?  A Barry Manilow tape?  Nope.

An anti-immigration group on Wednesday called on Americans to send their used underwear to undocumented immigrants and U.S. lawmakers, according to Think Progress.

On an Americans for Legal Immigration PAC message board, the group’s president, William Gheen, asked people to use their old underwear to send a message to leaders about immigration reform and border security.

That’s the nastiest thing you can think of, Dudes?

I guess that wouldn’t work for me.  My dirty underwear ain’t all that dirty.  I have good hygiene.

Oh wait, who am I talking about.  Yep, the dirty underwear people.  Don’t they have to file an environmental impact study with the EPA before they bathe?  Don’t they have to wear a biomedical suit to the Laundromat?

Thanks to Deb for the heads up.

First of all, thank you to everybody who sent me Louie photobombing another Republican just to get on Fox News.

I got a chance to chat today with Dr. Shirley McKeller, Louie’s Democratic opponent.  She is perfectly lovely and very smart woman who does not deserve to have to live in East Texas.

She a delegate to the convention and I chatted with her in the hallway about our favorite subject – crazy Louie!

She’s out campaigning hard.

I spent all day in the platform committee with Chairman State Representative Garnet Coleman.  I’m serving on the temporary platform committee this year and wrote the first ever disability plank.  Texans with disabilities has been mentioned in the platform before but this is the first time Disabled Texans have their own plank.

And, hey, don’t mess with me.  I’m Honorable.

If you make a prediction, and it doesn’t get attention ….

Just repackage it.  And sell that sucker again.

And correct the typos, Obsma.

Thanks to Greg for the heads up.

We got to Dallas at about 4:00, beating the rain.

We check into the hotel.  It’s fancy.  The view out our window.

We went to check on the amazing staff of the Texas Democratic Party.   They were getting stuff done.

We went to have dinner with Glen.  No pictures.  Bubba joined the County Chair Association because he’s a county chair now.  We walked around talking to people we adore but don’t get to see often enough.

Tomorrow is the platform committee meeting followed by the State Democratic Executive Committee meeting.  The convention starts on Friday.

I’ll keep you updated.  It’s gonna be fun.  I am told there will be cowbells involved.
