I got my weekly email from Rick Perry reminding me that Rick Perry is still alive.

This one had some stuff in it.

(Click the little ones to see the big ones.)

 
Okay, but actually  “doing something” would be real different all by itself, ya know, Rick?

And then there’s this one —

Yeah, but the wisely do not say with who.  Oh sure, up against anybody over at the morgue he looks good.

Run, Rick.  Do it to me one more time, once is never enough with a man like you.

Okay, this happened.

Best I know, it is not a group of people trying to punk anybody.  This is an actual exorcism outside of a Starbuck’s coffee shop in Austin Texas.

Look, I’m expert about devils and they are not doing this right.  You need bongos, naked, and a Hook ‘Em Horns cap.  Then feed that child a Starbuck’s double chocolate chip frappuccino with a side shot of Jose Cuervo and those devils head straight for Waco.

Gosh, do I have to be everywhere?

Thanks to everybody for he heads up.

Libertarians believe that no government is the best government, the Easter Bunny, that fake hair looks really real, that traffic signals are an unwarranted police invasion of your rights, and that you can have your cake and eat it too.

Rand Paul wants it all, all, all.  Apparently he believes that he can run for every position on the ballot and chose between the ones he wins.

Kentucky law says he can’t run for both senate and President. He’s going to fight the constitutionality of that because what the taxpayers of Kentucky really, really need is (1) a man who cannot make up his mind, and (2) the expense of a special election.

“The basis of the lawsuit would be that the U.S. Constitution lists the qualifications for people to run for either U.S. House or Senate and they are either citizens of the United States, resident of the state, and for Senate 30 years of age,” University of Kentucky College of Law professor Josh Douglas told TPM. “So the argument here is that saying you can’t be a candidate for more than one federal office is an additional qualification so it violates the qualification clause of the U.S. Constitution.”

I have to tell y’all that I think a Rand Paul presidential run would be a blast.  You know how he made up his own qualifying board to be able to practice medicine in Kentucky?  Hell, if he doesn’t win the presidency, he could just make up his own country.

Well, even in the worst election years, there is always a silver lining.

This year, it’s State Senator Margaret Sitte of North Dakota.  She got defeated.  Sitte was the woman who opposed the bill that required a parent of caregiver to report a missing or dead child within 24 hours.  The bill was introduced after the Caylee Anthony trial.

Her reasoning for opposing it?

I affectionately call this bill the `Make Mary and Joseph Felons Bill` because Jesus was missing for three days.

Holy cow.  That there is a silver lining.

Thanks to Larry for the heads up.

Crazybutt Steve Stockman is under federal investigation.  Not for being wild-eyed crazy, mind you, but for all manner of stuff totally unrelated to being a crazybutt.

Retiring U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman and three of his Capitol Hill aides notified Congress on Wednesday that they have been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury in a criminal investigation.

Stockman, a Clear Lake Republican who this year lost a primary election for U.S. Senate, did not divulge the nature of the federal inquiry. He did not seek reelection to the House.

Since he’s a Republican you know it has to be about money and/or sex.   Since Stockman has neither, I would suspect we might be in for a fun ride on this one.

It seems he falsified payrolls and accepted illegal campaign contributions.  And that’s just the half of it.

But Stockman thinks he holds a Get Out Of Jail Free card.

Stockman’s mention of House rights and privileges could be a sign that he might invoke the Speech and Debate clause of the Constitution, which precludes members of Congress from being prosecuted for official legislative acts, said Brett Kappel, a Washington, D.C.-based attorney who specializes in campaign finance law and disclosure rules.

So accepting an illegal contribution is an official legislative act?  Note: this escape clause applies only to Republicans.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
