Oh, Sarah, Sober Up

So Sarah Palin went to Iowa to run for President again.

She gave a speech that even conservatives said was “bizarro.”  Honey, when you make Rick Perry look smart and coherent, you’re drunk.  That’s all there is to it.

The kids on Twitter had fun.  Especially with stuff like this:

“It is good that we have a deep bench and its primary competition that will surface the candidate who’s up to the task and unify and this person has to because knowing what the media will do throughout all of 2016 to all of us it’s going to take more than a village to beat Hillary,” she said.

So, the clown car just got a new driver.

Lucky us!

Even When They Have a Good Point, They Haven’t Sharpened It

Texas Republican State Representative (See?  You’re already giggling, right?)Bill Zedler wants to file a bill requiring that all high school seniors should have to pass a civics test before they can graduate.

ZedlerNot a bad idea and I’m pretty impressed that a Republican came up with that.  Until he didn’t know when to shuddup.

When asked whether he took a quiz, Zedler said, “No, but I think I would do pretty well. I know the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. I know World War II was started Dec. 7, 1941. I know what the Civil War was fought over.”

Close, Bill, but no cigar.  World War II started a tad earlier than that.

On the upside, this tea party gun-toting fool didn’t give his answer to what the Civil War was fought over, but I bet the answer involved the words “northern aggression.”

And nobody asked him the exact date the Declaration of Independence was signed.  I’ll be willing to wager a pony ride that he doesn’t know.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Fun With Guns: Pizza Karma Edition

Ah, Chicago.

One of two teens accused of robbing two Logan Square delivery drivers at gunpoint earlier this month accidentally shot himself in the finger while eating stolen pizza, Cook County prosecutors said Thursday.

They ordered the pizza, robbed the delivery guy, and then one of them shot himself in the finger while eating the pizza.  He was treated at the hospital, released, and then did the same damn thing again four days later.  This time they order Chinese and held a gun to the head of a 52 year old delivery guy.

chi-2-held-in-logan-square-robbery-of-delivery-002The two teens decided to rob another delivery driver on Jan. 18, Karr said. This time they placed an order on Reece’s phone to the Chinese restaurant, and a 52-year-old man delivered their order.

Reece came up to the driver’s door and Colon opened the passenger door and removed the food, Karr said. Reece then opened the driver’s-side door and pointed a gun at the man’s head before striking him in the face with the gun, she said.

Please, please, please let there be food poisoning involved.

They were found and confessed.

Thanks to Wayne for the heads up.

Okay, God, A Little to the North and Down About 200 Feet.

News in Texas

Lightning struck the state Capitol early Thursday morning, knocking out power in some places. State troopers were posted outside to make sure employees could get in after some key-card readers stopped working.

I’d be willing to bet my best pair of pink boots that God was aiming for Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick but that little sucker slithered away before the bolt hit the ground.

Just to be safe, I wouldn’t stand anywhere near Patrick without a lightning rod on my head.

Of course!

I guess, “Hell, I’d go get into a fight at an Alaskan birthday party while wearing Kim Kardashian’s bikini and deflating footballs under my armpits if I thought it would get me attention,” was too long for a headline.

Please, oh please, let her run.
