Sisters in Overton, Texas, decided to sell lemonade to raise money for a Father’s Day present.

That’s until the long arm of the law set them straight.  Chief Clyde Carter was on the job.

Hey, I thought Republicans believed in free enterprise and the business of business.  They don’t need no stinkin’ permit to to screw up our banking system.

Well, it could have been worse.  If they had been black, they’d be in jail.

Just when you think rightwing Republicans are going to run out of child molesters, they don’t.

John Perry, a prolific author who co-wrote two books with former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and co-wrote one with Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore, was accused of child molestation in two separate lawsuits.

… a police investigation launched in 2012 found the allegations against Perry “were sustained,” according to a police department spokesperson, but that statute of limitations had passed.

“The alleged sexual battery was reported to have occurred when the victim was between the ages of 11 and 14,” said Nashville police department spokesperson Don Aaron in a statement to BuzzFeed News.

Okay, so this means that the ghost writer of such judgmental and rigid works as Character Is the Issue and Do the Right Thing just might need to shut the hell up.

Seriously y’all, I’m beginning to believe that a pervert is required at every rightwing meeting.

Thanks to Charles for the heads up.

Let’s add Ben Carson to our growing list of Republicans Who Want to Destroy America and Claim Obama Did It.

Y’all, that could be a tin foil hat.

Ben Carson has himself one dandy idea about how to make government work.

Republican presidential contender Ben Carson said Wednesday that if elected next year he might implement a “covert division” of government workers who spy on their coworkers to improve government efficiency.

The pediatric neurosurgeon-turned-candidate told a crowd of Iowa Republicans he is “thinking very seriously” about adding “a covert division of people who look like the people in this room, who monitor what government people do.”

Helluva an idea, Carson.  But I think Stalin already tried it.

Thanks to Wanda for the heads up.

In the early, early days of the internet I made a Democratic friend from New York.  She doesn’t know a lot of people from Texas so I often serve as her interpreter of all things that are seemingly odd around here.

This morning’s question from Maureen is … What the hell is wrong with you people?

A gentleman named Cirilo Castillo was arrested on June 2 after being found in woman’s barn in Hildago County. The woman had warned him to stay away from the barn after two prior arrests for having sex with her horses.

[Castillo] told the woman and investigators that he had been hit by a car and crawled to the barn for shelter.

Oddly enough, they didn’t believe that part.  They think a horse kicked him.  At least that’s what we hope.

So, since Lindsey Graham is not married and never has been, a reporter asked him who would be first lady if he’s elected President.

Lindsey answered ….

Thinking it over, the Republican senator told Daily Mail Online: ‘Well, I’ve got a sister, she could play that role if necessary.’

Chuckling, he added: ‘I’ve got a lot of friends. We’ll have a rotating first lady.’

I cannot say for sure but I think he meant rotating as getting a new one every now and then, as opposed to a first lady who spends her days turning in circles, although admittedly that would be entertaining.

Next thing I know, my friend Glen Maxey asks where he can apply.

I’d be glad to put in a good word for Glen but I don’t think he’d be as entertaining as a spinning first lady.

Michael Berry is a small-time radio talk show host in the Houston market.  His former jobs included being on Houston City Council, being married to the Texas Secretary of State, being a full time self-described Southern Baptist, being an admitted hit-and-run driver, and secretly hanging out in Houston gay bars on drag queen night.

As you can see, he’s just your average run of the mill regular rightwing talk show host. He also advocated bombing a mosque, which I think is kinda required to keep your RightWing Nut license.

Michael was plenty upset about the goings-on in McKinney, Texas.  He got to running his mouth and just could not bring himself to stop until he got dangerously close to using the N word.

“Let me ask you, how many among you would put on a badge and a police uniform today?” Berry said. “How many of you would put on a badge, police uniform and be the first to respond — by yourself — to a crowd of teenagers, amped up — watch ‘em! Man, they’re screaming! ‘Get outta here! Who are you?! You don’t know what you! You go! You get! Who are you?! You can’t do that! No man, we gon’ get you! You bet — !’ I mean you’re talking about like jungle animals. I mean this is wild, crazy, out of control.”

And then, to make white people in Texas look even more like idiots, he goes on a few minutes later ….

Berry said white people had probably been the ones to call the police at the pool party.

“Yes, they’re probably white people, scared to death, peeking through the blinds, ‘Oh my God! There’s a bunch of black people and they’re out on the streets and they’re fightin’ and carryin’ on and they’re playing that music from Jay-Z,” Berry said. “They’re scared to death! That’s who his bosses are. He’s there to keep the peace in his community.”

God in heaven above, not Jay-Z!  And, oh yeah, nothing scares white people like black people at a pool party.

Thank you for cracker-splainin’ that to us, Michael.

If you want to hear Berry do his imitation of a black minister or black parents, listen here.
