Here’s the Deal
Today was the last straw. If you happen to see this during one of the 15 minute sessions the website is working, please know that I am changing servers. Customer Anna is getting us moved and updated over the next week or so. I think there’s something called migration that might cause the site to be offline for a day or an hour. Clear your cache and hang on – at least you know we’re moving to greener pastures.

Guys, I’m sorry. I tried to stick with a small Texas company but I ended up overpaying for an inferior product. I think thy should change their name to Bush.
God, Guns, and Golly Gee, My Clothes Fell Off and I’m in Bed With a Man Not My Husband
“Christian mother of three” Holly Fisher spent plenty of time in front of the camera lens posing with her Bible and her gun. She also posed with a Hobby Lobby behind her while holding a Chick-Fil-A cup.
She was all the rage of the religious right for her Christian values, including this picture where she weights in the values.
Glass houses and stones. Again.
She ain’t what she appears to be. She had an affair. But not just your normal one. Oh no, she had a Tea Party affair.
The affair allegedly took place during the Restoring the Dream event, a Faith and Freedom conference, and on Election night.
She had an affair with Joel Frewa, then a video editor with the Tea Party News Network.
Well, hell, it was Faith AND Freedom. She got half of it right.
Thanks to Deb for the heads up.
State of the Popeness
Oh yeah, the Pope Hisownself is coming to speak to the Republican controlled congress on September 24th.
He will most certainly address the social issues of poverty and income disparity.
Thelma is taking wagers on which one of them will shout “You lie!” during his speech. Send her five dollars cash American money and she will put you in the pool. In case of a tie, a panel of distinguished judges will declare the winner by which entry had the most creative spelling of John Boehner’s name. Other quality shout-outs considered in place of “You lie!” shall be ….
1. Hey, Guy with funny hat, you’re a commie!
2. Dude, this poor people crap is a downer. We’re waiting for you to make Citizens United a sacrament.
3. Hey, Pope-pa-rino, Lindsay Graham is available!
4. Come on, say Fox News is infallible, just say it!
5. Joni Earnt is coming after you with some pliers.
Will Mike Huckabee give the Republican response, throwing some hate on Beyonce and shouting hallelujah about grits and gravy (both of which he needs to leave alone for a while).
The best part will be when you hear, “God said I can be a living saint right now,” followed by shouts of, “Shuddup, Ted!” from Jeb Bush.”
This is gonna be fun, y’all.
Oh, Sweet Victory of Joy and Ice Cream
Y’all, I have no idea how we got this lucky.
Guess who will be giving the GOP response to the State of the Union Address?
Joni “Make ‘um Squeal” Ernest. I wonder she’s gonna castrate hogs on live teevee! Hell, I’d pay money to see that if John Boehner was first in line.
I wonder if she knows it’s traditionally been the kiss of death.
More importantly, I wonder if she knows what a kiss is?
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
For me, radicalization started in 1964 when a high school English teacher assigned Dr King’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail. Written in the form of St. Paul’s letter to the church at Corinth, Dr. King’s letter to white clergymen remains my favorite of his writings. It was written on scraps of paper smuggled out of the jail. Caroline Kennedy included it in her Patriot’s Handbook because of its power and simplicity.
I have been to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis twice and was deeply and permanently moved. But, it was at the National Museum at Central High School in Little Rock that my knees buckled and I was reduced to uncontrollable sobbing tears. After seeing it, I could never use the word awesome for anything else. What those children and their parents did tops awesome.
