Dallas county has one African American commissioner.  He read a resolution and asked for it to be adopted.

The Dallas Morning News reported that commissioners thought they were honoring an annual holiday when they voted unanimously for the “Juneteenth Resolution” sponsored by Dallas County’s only black commissioner, John Wiley Price.

Price even read the text of the resolution, which covered broad topics like slavery and Jim Crow. Many of the commissioners seemed uninterested, playing with their computers or reading documents while he read so they did not seem to notice the final sentence.

Here’s the part they didn’t listen to …

“Be it further resolved that the dereliction that has caused 400 years of significant… suffering to the descendants of those who have been enslaved Africans who built this country, should be satisfied with monetary and substantial reparations to same.”

Dallas County Commissioners voted for reparation.  Unanimously.  Every damn white boy on commissioner’s court voted for reparations.  Because they were looking at cat videos on their computers.

Sometimes idiots are truly entertaining.  Especially the Dallas ones.

Thanks to Deb and Frank for the heads up.

I guess this is bad news in Macon, Georgia.

An unnamed man went to get some gas one evening, and got a medical procedure instead.

The man was parked at the gas station at about 9:30 p.m. when he attempted to holster his .45. Immediately after the gun went off, he drove to a friend’s house in Lake Wildwood. When he got to the friends house, he took off his pants and saw that he had “shot himself in the penis and that the bullet exited out of his buttocks.” The spent round fell onto the floor.

Hummm … so that’s where the term crapping bullets came from.

The good news?  He”s not alone.  We are told that five American men have shot off their own winkies since 2010.  In Georgia, that’s not near enough.

Just sayin’.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems that WalMart is the Ground Zero of gun accidents, which is another reason not to go to WalMart.

It’s Indiana.

A Dale man was arrested by Jasper police Sunday morning when the handgun he was carrying in a front pocket discharged while he was inside the Jasper WalMart store.

JPD says 65-year old Kenneth Pirtle told them he placed his hand into his pocket to retrieve and article when the .40 caliber handgun discharged. Police say the discharged bullet exited Mr. Pirtle’s pant leg, struck the vinyl/concrete floor and then richocheted up and lodged into a nearby wall.

Police later determined that other articles in Mr. Pirtle’s pocket with the gun might have played a factor in the handgun accidentally discharging.

What other articles?  His copy of the Constitution or the Collected Works of William Shakespeare?  My bet – it was beer bottle opener, a large pocketknife, a pen he stole from Social Security office, and sixty seven cents in change.

Wouldn’t you know it, dammit.  The day that I am busier than a jackrabbit chasing four different coyotes, the Texas Republican Party finally decides to release their platform,

If any of you guys have time, read it and underline to good parts for us.  Well, I guess that wouldn’t work.  Cut and paste the good parts here, or if it’s too long, just tell us what it says.

And for me, please send any parts that will negatively impact disabled people because I’m drafting that plank on the Democratic platform.

Here ya go!  Return of the Bizarre People.

Okay, at what point can President Barack Obama file stalking charges against Dick Cheney and his Loser/Quitter Sidekick Liz?  I’m thinking now.

Here’s a President who is termed-out in two years but Dick and Liz have formed a money making PAC to bash the President’s foreign policy because, you know, those two have such respected foreign policy skills.

The Cheneys posted a video to YouTube about The Alliance for a Strong America, a 501(c)(4) grass-roots organization, on Tuesday. The video’s description hits “the dangerous policies of the Obama Administration” and promises to keep “policies necessary to protect the nation” in the spotlight.

“The policies of the last six years have left America diminished and weakened,” Dick Cheney says in a video introducing the group.

Liz Cheney says the two formed the group “because we know America’s security depends upon our ability to reverse President Obama’s policies.”

Oddly, Liz Cheney’s philosophy is obviously, “when you’re losing, you retreat and run away but not without trashing your sister first.”

Seems like a great foreign policy plan to me.

Here is a man who was wrong about everything — we would be welcomed with open arms, the insurgency is in its last throes, the war would pay for itself with all the oil we would get, we don’t need to raise taxes, go shopping, go to hell.

And that’s why they call him Dick.

Shuddup.

Thanks to Deb for the heads up.
