Conspiracy Central is all a’tingling over Nurse Kaci Hickox who was quarantined in New Jersey after having been in Africa.  Republicans, who tell us that they are all about liberty and freedom, saw nothing wrong with holding her in a tent against her will even though she showed no symptoms of a disease.

I, for one, am not willing to give Chris Christy to right to imprison people according to his whim.  Neither was Kaci.

But, here’s what the media is not telling you.  Get ready for this because it may upset your American sensitivities.

It turns out that Kaci Hickox is a registered democrat and Obama supporter who works for the CDC. “The nurse currently quarantined in New Jersey is an employee for the Centers for Disease Control and a registered Democrat with a history of left-wing advocacy,” reports GotNews.com

There you have it.  She’s a Democrat and works for the CDC.  That right there is proof that we used her too set up Chris Christy and make him look bad.  And, to oppose state-mandated quarantines.

The timing of Hickox’s quarantine, her ties with the party in power at the White House, the deliberate hiding of her ties to the CDC and the scrubbing of her LinkedIn.com profile all raise legitimate suspicion that her quarantine complaints have all been staged as a P.R. stunt to promote opposition to state-level Ebola quarantine efforts.

Y’all, if we were capable of that, we’d have control of congress.  And we’d get rid of Antonin Scalia and put Elizabeth Warren on the court.  And Rush Limbaugh would explode on air and leave shards of blubber over a five state area.  And we’d start a new space exploration program to have a place to send tea party members.  And we’d make Louie Gohmert the Republican spokesman.  And Sarah Palin would run for Vice President.  Oh wait.  We did do that.

Thanks to RM for the heads up.

Louie Gohmert just became Rick Santorum crazy.

Everything you need to know about Foster Friess.  And more.

And then there’s the $2,500 donation from the National Beer Wholesalers PAC,, which is gonna be hard to explain down at the Baptist Church where Louie claims to be a deacon.

Wouldn’t you love to see Louie and Rick Santorum locked in a stuck elevator together and try to out-righteous each other?  I’d pay money to see that!

Thanks to John Kwitowski for the heads up.

I’m back to the Ballot Board today.  Y’all have fun and if anything important happens, post t here.

Okay, so there’s the woman in Austin who wants to vote.   She’s from California and her driver’s license is from California.  But, she lives in Texas.  She owns property in both states and goes back and forth but she wants to vote in Texas.

So, after some enormous hassle she gets all the documentation she needs to get a Texas ID from the Department of Public Safety.

So she goes to a DPS office in South Austin to apply.  Not so fast, Little Lady.

The clerk left for a few minutes, then told her to take a seat. At that point, Messinger said, a state trooper summoned her into his back office, saying he needed to speak to her. Once inside his office, Messinger said the trooper insisted on seeing all the documentation she had brought, and demanded to know where she lives and pays taxes. He even told her she could be jailed for driving with a California license. It is illegal to drive in Texas on another state’s driver’s license 90 days after moving into the state.

She got so rattled that she left without getting an ID.

Hell, Honey, that’s in the Texas Constitution that people from California can’t vote here.  You just mosey on back to El Lay and smoke some funky weed and leave us good Christian people alone.  Or we’ll shoot ya after we jail ya.

Thanks to Jeanne for the heads up.
