And Then Eve Gave Rick Santorum An Apple …

June 02, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Rick Santorum

Y’all, it’s Rick Santorum again.

Rick had this to say yesterday.

“We are seeing it. We are seeing the fabric of this country fall apart, and it’s falling apart because of single moms.”

Not single dads?

Now, I’m gonna ponder this for a minute.  Barack Obama was raised by a single mom.  But …

Hummmm …

Sidenote:  someone smarter than me (which is pretty much everybody) suggested that I categorize posts about the Republican candidates for president from now on.  We’re gonna try it until it becomes too damn much trouble.  This is supposed to make it easier to click on one of their category names and read everything I’ve jumped on them about.  You’ll see it up at the top beside the date.

Which reminds me.  Do you know the difference between jumping on a trampoline and jumping on a politician?  Ya take off your boots to jump on a trampoline.

Sine Die

Sine Die is Latin phrase meaning, “Thank you, Apollo, the Texas Legislature session is finally over.”

My friend La Lisa Hernandez noted that the last day of the legislative session is also the first day of hurricane season.

“How will we know the difference?” I asked.

She replied, “One has gale-force winds devastating all in its path. The other’s a hurricane.”

One wise Latina.

 

Yipee! Now Jon Stewart Won’t Leave

Senator Lindsey Begonia Graham is running for President on a platform that what this country needs is more war, dammit.

lindsey_graham_1Yeah, and watch out what you’re thinking because there will be none of that under a Lindsey Graham administration …

“If I’m president of the United States and you’re thinking about joining Al Qaeda or ISIL, I’m not going to call a judge,” he said. “I’m going to call a drone, and we will kill you.”

I wasn’t thinking about it until he said that.  Now that’s all I can think about.  Don’t drone me, Bro.

To his credit, Lindsey Graham was in the military so he knows a lot about … well, motions and writs and stuff.  He was an Air Force lawyer and contrary to popular belief Air Force lawyers see combat a lot less than you’d suspect.

Harrison, Arkansas, is 35 miles south of Branson, Missouri, the play land for old white people.

If you go to WhitePrideRadio.com, it’s the official radio station of the KKK, a notoriously not-racist club.

They also have a show called “Amos and Andy.”  Seriously.  And one called “Stories of Our People,” also known as “Every Freekin’ History Book Ever Written.”

They have a lot of shows called Old Time Radio.  Damn y’all, there weren’t radios when these people were young.

 Thanks to Richard for the heads up.

Fun With Guns: Who Shot Me? Edition

June 01, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Newton County, Georgia, sheriff’s department decided they needed some officer training.

They were probably right.

A sheriff’s deputy was shot last Friday for no good reason.  At least that’s what we can surmise with the deluge of forthcoming information.

According to Newton County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Felicia Jefferson, the incident happened during an officer training session. The deputy was taken to Atlanta Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

Jefferson would not say if the deputy shot himself, or if he was shot by another officer.

I think they might also need some crime solving training if they don’t know who shot who.

I’m not saying that guns are quite often not safe in the hands of professionals and people with proper training but … oh hell, that’s exactly what I’m saying.
