I was right.  The McDaniels / Cochran race is going to last forever and get crazier and crazier.

Here’s the deal.

Yes, indeedy.  Chris McDaniel played basketball.  In high school and junior college.  So he could not be … you know, racist.  Because he played basketball.

Holy crap.  How can you use a racist statement to prove someone is not a racist?

“It’s been frustrating to see so many people in the black community be convinced that Chris McDaniel was a racist just because someone they trusted told them he was,” the editorial, published on July 2, read. “If they did a little research on their own, they would find out that McDaniel was a basketball standout at South Jones and Jones County Junior College.”

Makes your head hurt, doesn’t it?

Okay, so where are all those basketball players coming forward to report that McDaniel is not a racist?

[crickets.  crickets.]

But not even that.  Let’s just stand in a state of stunned for a few minutes that anyone would use junior college basketball as proof of tolerance.

No No No No No No  Do not do that.

There’s one truth in America’s good manners book:  when the President of the United States of America comes calling, you open the damn door.

But then, Rick Perry was raised in a pig sty and had a tumbleweed for his only friend.

You know, we’re gonna have to clean chicken bones out from under the couch and get the washing machine off the front porch when he leaves the Governor’s mansion.  And I do not even want to imagine the fried pork skins oil on the walls.

President Obama is coming to Texas.   Rick Perry is refusing to come to the airport to shake his hand.  Rick is demanding a meeting or nothing.

Okay, somebody go stand in front of the Gov Shack with a bullhorn and holler:  “Rick, he’s the President of the United States of America and you’re the disgraced sixth place finisher in the New Hampshire primary.  You damn fool.”

Seriously, here’s a dude who got 0.71% of the vote in damn New Hampshire and spent a freekin’ fortune to do it.  Hell, Gingrich got 10% and even he knows he can’t boss around the President.

What is wrong with you, Rick?  Are those fake glasses giving you a headache?

Look, somebody drive him to the airport and tell him that Mr. Tumbleweed is being held hostage but the Crips and the Bloods will release him if he shakes Obama’s hand.  Then somebody give the man a damn tumbleweed to talk to.  Don’t worry, by sundown he will have forgotten it ever happened.

Stick with it, it keeps getting better.

Thanks to Kathleen for the heads up.

I’m beginning to think that the GOP run-off between Thad Cochran and Chris McDaniel is going to last forever and will end up looking like Sherman went through Mississippi instead of Georgia.

This sucker runs the gambit from illegal photo-taking to suicide to breaking and entering to bribes to … hell, there’s no end in sight.

Although the Mississippi GOP certified Cochran as the winner, McDaniel is claiming that he will challenge the decision.

And get this:  he’s superhero CorruptionBuster!

In an interview with WLOX-TV on Monday, McDaniel remarked that “there’s no timetable for justice.”

“We’re going to find the corruption that exists in Mississippi, if it exists, and we’re going to put an end to it once and for all,” he said.

Yeah, putting an end to corruption in Mississippi would be just a little harder than moving the capital from Jackson to New York City.

And if there’s a circus anywhere within the boundaries of electoral college votes, Ted Cruz wants to be the ringmaster.  So, he jumps in.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Monday called for an official investigation into alleged voter fraud in the Mississippi Senate runoff, calling all the talk of voting irregularities “appalling.”

Yep, appalling.  Bygawd, just appalling.

But here’s where it gets tricky.

“We’ve seen serious allegations of voter fraud,” Cruz said on “The Mark Levin Show.” “And I very much hope that no Republican was involved in voter fraud.

Darlin’, blow your nose because your brain is dusty.

It was a primary.  That means Republican against Republican, so if you’re all set to prove that Republicans commit voter fraud, then you aren’t the ringmaster, you’re the clown.

Y’all, I knew it.  Gohmertitis is contagious.   Some congressvarmint in Kentucky caught it.

“As you (Energy & Environment Cabinet official) sit there in your chair with your data, we sit up here in ours with our data and our constituents and stuff behind us. I don’t want to get into the debate about climate change, but I will simply point out that I think in academia we all agree that the temperature on Mars is exactly as it is here. Nobody will dispute that. Yet there are no coal mines on Mars. There are no factories on Mars that I’m aware of.”

Dude, there’s lotsa things you’re not award of.

I know there are some of you who are gonna think that’s satire.

It ain’t.

Thank you, Brandon Smith, for making all the rest of us look a little smarter.

Thank you to everybody for the heads up.

Priest.  Soccer.  Homosexual.  Seriously.

A Russian Orthodox Priest has claimed that the World Cup is an abomination because players wear brightly-coloured shoes.

Writing in his column on Russian People’s Line, Priest Alexander Shumsky claimed that players are promoting a “gay rainbow” by wearing green, pink, yellow and blue shoes.

He said: “Wearing pink or blue shoes, [the players] might as well wear women’s panties or a bra.

“The liberal ideology of globalism clearly wants to oppose Christianity with football. I’m sure of it.

Me, too. Totally sure of it.

Quit snickering.  I’m happy to know that our Super DeLux Brand Christians have some decent Russian competition.

Wasn’t it Pat Robertson who thought the Teletubbies were gay?

The priest also criticized the “unthinkable” hairstyles of some of the players in the tournament.

Well, at least the Teletubbies don’t have that problem.

Thanks to Carol for the heads up.
