Remember the kid who plead affluenza to charges that he killed four people while driving drunk?

It runs in the family.

FORT WORTH, Texas — The father of Ethan Couch, the 16-year-old who gained national attention for using the “affluenza” defense in court and then receiving probation after killing four in a drunken-driving accident, has been arrested in Texas for allegedly impersonating a police officer.

Authorities in North Richland Hills, a Fort Worth suburb, arrested Frederick Anthony Couch on Tuesday, saying he posed as a Lakeside reserve officer at the scene of a disturbance call July 28, reports WFAA.

Couch is not nor ever has been a reserve officer for Lakeside, and he is not licensed as a peace officer in Texas.

Honey, that ain’t just white.  That’s glow in the dark white.

You wanna know who caused the unrest in Ferguson?

Obama.

Of freekin’ course.

Fox radio host Todd Starnes says so.

The uncivil unrest in Ferguson, Missouri continues — and it appears the Obama Administration may be orchestrating the Michael Brown tragedy.

NBC News is reporting that Attorney General Eric Holder and Valerie Jarrett are the administration’s point persons going so far as to arrange a federal autopsy.

Let me tell you something.  If Barack Obama was that powerful and conniving, we’d have single payer health care in America.

Holy cow!  Did you know that one of the grand jurors on the Rick Perry indictment is a Democrat and attended the State Democratic Convention?  Well, there ya go – proof this is political.

One of the 12 grand jurors is a certified Democrat and everybody knows that Democrats cannot be fair.

Jonathan Turley almost has a heart attack about it because while at the state convention the grand juror had her picture taken with State Senator Kirk Watson, who was called to testify before the grand jury.  Turley also feels it is necessary to print her name and her Facebook page.  That’ll show those damn Democrats to keep their noses out of government.

Turley, who is decidedly blowing the top off the idiot scale, speculated that the grand juror and Watson even discussed the case while at the state convention.

She was also photographed with Democratic state Sen. Kirk Watson, a witness. It is not known if she discussed the matter with him.

Turley, you need slapping.  You really do.  In Texas, you can go to prison for discussing grand jury information.  You are accusing a woman you do not know and a respected state senator of committing a serious crime.

Somebody forgot to tell Turley that it takes nine votes to indict, not one.  Turley, who is a big city boy, doesn’t understand that in small Texas towns – like the one I live in – it’s reasonable and likely for you to personally know every witness before a grand jury you’re serving on.  Been there, done that myownself.

Plus, Turley does not know if this woman did, in fact, recuse herself.  That information is also secret.

You know, it peeves the hell out of me that people like Turley hold Texas grand jurors to a higher standard of impartiality than they do Supreme Court justices.  Scalia and Thomas don’t recuse themselves on highly political matters. Ever. Trump that, Turley.

Turley needs to read Wayne Slater, a Texan, this morning.  And so should you.

When the tent revivalists get to preaching, the ground shakes and the heavens open up … with the tears of sweet Jesus.

Last week when Rick Scarborough spoke at a revival he said that if America was destroyed by a giant nuclear blast, that would be justifiable by God Hisownself.

“This thing could all come crashing down,” Scarborough warned, saying that if a “series of dirty bombs” or one massive nuclear blast were to destroy America, it would be “perfectly just … because we have squandered our grace in this country.”

Wanna know why?  Ho-mo-sex-u-als.  (You have to pronounce that word like it has ten syllables.)

And then up pops Tom DeLay with a solution.  Tom is making a living off the toils of the ignorant, which is no different than he’s done all his life.  He’s a Biblotainer – he makes money turning the Bible into entertainment.

Get this —

“We’ve got to rewrite the federal government,” DeLay proclaimed. “Let’s bring Jesus Christ back into our political system and stand for him unashamedly because none of this is going to happen without God … And secondly, demand a revolution for the Constitution … let’s impose that on our political system, let’s bring it back, the way God intended it and the way God wrote it.”

I know – it’s word soup.  First he wants to re-write it and then he wants to bring back some of that old time constitution.  You know, the one written before those pesky amendments.  Except for the Second Amendment.  That one is fine.

Just think – five years from now, that will be Rick Perry on the Biblotainer circuit. There’s a never ending supply of opportunists in Texas.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.

I live in Texas, but my biggest fear is that my obituary might say this:

I mean, just the thought of that keeps me up at night.  First, when I die, I want to be real sick, real old, or doing something worth dying for.  I would prefer for my butt to stay out of the equation.  Second of all, if my butt gets so big that it’s a clear target from half a mile away, just shoot me from the front anyway.  Be polite about it.

The story goes like this:

The homeowner was struck by a bullet in his behind. Sedgwick County Officers said it came from across a farm field behind his backyard. Five men ages 18-20 were shooting several rounds from the other side of the field. They were aiming at a dead stump with no back stop.

His injuries are not serious.  His embarrassment, however, is.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
