Republican Congressman, the Honorable Mark Sanford, is breaking up with his Argentinian mistress.

I know.  Too bad, so sad.

And who’s fault is this?  Of course, his ex-wife.

Sanford put up a long and crazy Facebook post to explain to his broken-hearted constituents why his wife was totally at fault for the break-up because she thinks he’s crazy.  Life is difficult when you write crazy crap to prove you’re not crazy.  And then you add wacky to the formula by putting your explanation on your congressional Facebook page.

Finally, Jenny and her lawyer also go on to ask me to undertake an array of programs and evaluations, each one more riveting than the next. As a public figure people have seen me over twenty years in the highs and lows and most trying of times, and if I was plagued by the afflictions they suggest wouldn’t people have seen me mad or angry by now? In simplest form I don’t understand how I can be elected by a wide array of folks at home to attempt to represent their interests in Washington, but if the Plaintiff’s view was to prevail, be required to take psychiatric and psychological evaluations to be with our youngest son. Posing those sorts of questions is destructive plain and simple, and in fairness to my friends in the media if those type questions are raised they will report them – which is why you have been subjected to reading this response and media accounts.

Well, Sanford can take solace in the fact that he’s not the first crazy Republican elected due to Republican gerrymandering.  We, however, can take solace in diddle squat.

In the words of the poet Roy Rogers, “Happy trails to you, Mark.”

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Kiddos, your on you own today because I am tending to Momma.  Talk about whatever you want to talk about but keep it clean.  Momma has sharp eyes!

Well, lookie here.

The Palin family was reportedly involved in a messy fistfight on Saturday night that involved at least 20 people in Anchorage, Alaska at an event sponsored by the annual Iron Dog snowmobile race.

All other reports are merely rumor but just the fact that the Palin clan was there should remind us again how lucky we were that John McCain lost.

Wel, it happened.  An elementary school teacher in Salt Lake City, Utah, accidentally shot herself at school.   She was in the facility bathroom.

Granite School District spokesman Ben Horsley said the teacher at Westbrook Elementary School, in the Salt Lake City suburb of Taylorsville, was severely injured when the bullet entered and exited her leg, and she was rushed to a hospital.

No other faculty or students were in the area, he said.

Well, let’s arm all the teachers because substitute teachers are so darn much fun!  And ambulances are even better than recess.

Utah teachers are allowed to carry guns, but the weapons must be completely concealed and kept with theteacher at all times, including inside a bathroom stall, according to the state office of education.

Teachers and staff without a concealed carry permit can still bring a gun to school if an administrator approves, if they happen to live on school property, or if they work in law enforcement.

Oh yeah, because school administrators are experts in weaponry.

The New York Times issued an apology this week.

Well, the mistake is understandable.

Thanks to the other Susan for the heads up.

Ted Cruz was asked to speak at the Middle East Christians fundraiser dinner.

He got booed off the stage.  “If you will not stand with Israel, I will not stand with you,” he says.

So, I guess that pretty much sums up his ability to work with people who disagree with him.  And it pretty reveals foreign policy during a Cruz administration.

What kind of Bozo would accept this invitation without knowing where these people stand?  Oh yeah, I forgot.  Ted Cruz.

Thanks to Deb B. for the heads up.
