I hope your 4th of July is fun, safe, and filled with sparklers.

Bubba and I are taking Ben to his first fireworks show in his own backyard.

Here’s a blast from the past:  Bristol Palin, of Dancing With The Stars fame, is so pleased about the Hobby Lobby decision that she told her “fans” to go to Hobby Lobby today and send her the pictures.  She promised to post her favorites on Facebook and “other social media.”

What could possibly go wrong with that plan?

Yeah, this.

Using the hashtag #HobbyLobbyLove, real women took to Twitter and made some suggestion about what Bristol could do with her favorites.

Sometimes The Twitter is a blast!

Thanks to Ralph for the heads up.

Y’all, I did not realize that the Thad Cochran / Chris McDaniel race was a fight to the death match.

That sucker is still going on!

After one of the nastiest races in American history including breaking into a nursing home, calling Cochran’s daughter illegitimate, a suicide over shenanigans, and claiming that black people swung this election and God knows black people have caused enough trouble already, now Cochran is offering snitch money.

Mississippi State Sen. Chris McDaniel’s (R) campaign announced Thursday that they are offering 15 rewards of $1,000 each for people who can bring evidence that leads to the arrest and conviction of people involved in voter fraud in the Mississippi Republican runoff for U.S. Senate between McDaniel and Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), who won the runoff.

McDaniel’s Senate campaign announced the reward in an email as part of his newly launched “Election Integrity Challenge and Voter Fraud Reward.”

Well, that’s catchy – the EICAEF Reward.

Y’all, who thinks up these things?

That’s how the tea partiers win, they just finally wear you down by being bullies.

Look, McDaniel, you got out-cheated.  Take it like a man.  Shuddup.

Thanks to many for the heads up.

Now here’s a petition we can all get behind.

Yep, click right here and feel good about yourself.

Thank yew.

For the thousandth time, Rick Perry is not gay.  Not gay.  Not at all.  Not even kinda.  No gayo.

So it was just shocking, shocking I tell you, when Texas Land Commissioner and very sore loser Jerry Patterson indicated that there might be something amiss in Perry’s “sexual” department.

Jerry: a manly man

In an article about boots in the Austin American Statesman, Patterson mused …

Jerry Patterson: retired Marine, beloved state official, haberdashery expert.

He also noted boots are good for carrying knives, small guns, “unmentionables” or “a small flask, giving rise to BYIB (bring yours in boot).”

Well, apparently you can also carry a sharp stick in your boots.  Our governor, Duh Perry, says he quit wearing boots because of his bad back.

“Tell Rick that boots can be purchased with normal heels,” he wrote. “I lament the fact that our governor could now pass for a West Coast metrosexual and has embarrassed us all with his sartorial change of direction.”

Yikes!  Metrosexual.  That’s just three alphabet letters away from … you know, what Perry is NOT.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

This picture was taken by a friend in Colorado.  Click the little one to get the big one.

Hey, everything is spelled correctly.

And, no, I do not know what they have against wolves.  Or if wolves can read.  Or if they follow directions.  That’s not my area of expertise.

However, I kinda do know why “the white race” is symbolized by snowmen with big ears, empty eyes, and penis noses.  No, wait, come to think of it, it doesn’t look a damn thing like me.

Thanks to Vickie for the heads up.
