Apparently, Idaho is not a good place to be Jewish.

BOISE — A Boise woman is facing felony charges after police say she attacked a Jewish acquaintance, stomping on the woman’s neck as part of a bizarre bid to convert her to Christianity.

Margurite Dawn Haragan, 58, has been charged with two counts of malicious harassment in an attack police have labeled a hate crime.

Because Jesus loves you.

The victim is identified only as A.G.

Prosecutors say Haragan stepped onto A.G.’s neck as she lay on the ground, pressing down with her foot and pulling up on the woman’s head and hair. Eventually, the woman said she would become a Christian in an attempt to placate her attacker, Roscheck said, and Haragan let her go.

Hey, at least she didn’t try to baptize her in the bathtub.

Thanks to Maureen for the heads up.

Randolph Linn lives in Ohio, drinks beer, and watches Fox News.

Last September he set off a bomb in a mosque prayer room.  And he’s still damn proud of it.

In court on Wednesday, Linn plead guilty to the arson charge. He said that he had gotten “riled up” watching Fox News, according to the Sentinel-Tribune, and drank 45 beers in seven hours before heading to the mosque.

When people get riled up by MSNBC, they go plant a tree or feed some homeless people.

And there ya have it.

John Boehner is a jerk.  Seriously.  A self-important, blowhard jerk.

Now this morning we’re going to look at pure raw unadulterated hot off the presses illogical fanaticism.

When questioned by Mike Wallace about why Boehner invited Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak to congress, and in essence deliver a political speech for his re-election back home where his poll numbers are suffering (he has a 38% approval rating at home), Boehner replies thusly …

Wallace then pointed out that Boehner asked Ron Dermer, Israel’s ambassador to the U.S., not to tell the White House about the joint meeting with Netanyahu.

“Why would you do that?” Wallace asked.

“Because I wanted to make sure that there was no interference. There’s no secret here in Washington about the animosity that this White House has for Prime Minister Netanyahu. I frankly didn’t want that getting in the way, quashing what I thought was a real opportunity,” Boehner responded.

He did not want the President to interfere.  In an opportunity.

An opportunity for what?  To make the President look bad?

Jerk.

Two months ago, the former communications director for Texas Republican Congressvarmint Blake Farenthold filed suit against him for sexual harassment.

Two months later, he filed an answer.  Two months to think about it and come up with a story.

Reportedly, he answered “most” of the allegations.  Most.  For example —

Among the claims in Greene’s lawsuit is Farenthold suggested during a staff meeting that a lobbyist once propositioned him to have a “threesome.” Farenthold admits the allegation but “denies that the woman who propositioned Rep. Farenthold was a lobbyist, and denies the allegation’s implication that Rep. Farenthold told his staff about the proposition for an improper or lascivious purpose.”

Hummmm … but he doesn’t mention what other purpose he could possibly have had for talking about it.  Was it a Jeopardy question or something?  When he said he had been invited to a threesome, was he talking about tennis?  I mean, if he was, that seems kinda unfair to have two people against one and I could see why he’d complain about it.  Was he talking about a round of golf where one person just rides in the cart but doesn’t play?

Reminder:  This is the congressman who posed for this picture with an underaged girl.

And the “nipple” thing?  He’s got a perfectly good answer.

Farenthold’s response denied that he once communicated to Greene that she “could show her nipples whenever she wanted to” but admits that after Greene became communications director “there was an occasion in which Plaintiff reported to work in a shirt and bra that were made of such flimsy fabric that Plaintiff’s nipples were visible, and that such attire was inappropriate for the Communications Director for a Member of Congress.”

Yeah, sure.  I buy that.

She has asked for a jury trial.  Blake has asked for a threesome.

As my friend Mary said, “Blake can do a threesome by himself.”

I was hoping the trial would be in Texas but she filed it in DeeCee.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Oh, y’all, Rick Perry is talking but he ain’t saying nothing.

Now he claims that we like being uninsured in Texas.  It’s like better than Disneyland for us!

“Texas has been criticized for having a large number of uninsured,” he said, “but that’s what Texans wanted. They did not want a large government program forcing everyone to purchase insurance.”

We don’t mind big government forcing people to get car insurance in Texas, but bygawd, that doesn’t have Obama’s name on it.  We’d rather die, thank you very much.

A million and half Texans were denied health coverage because Rick Perry says so.  According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 70 percent of uninsured Texans are in working families, with 40 percent living below the poverty level.  And, according to Rick, those folks are damn proud to be in awful pain or to die to help Rick Perry’s presidential aspirations.

He’s a sumbitch.
