Okay, so a couple of my friends and I have been keeping track of all the special bargains on Amazon Prime today.

Ho boy, if I needed cheap silver jewelry or about fifty iPhone cases, this would be my special day.

But my favorite was this.  Click the little one to see the big one.

Now, how much did you say that plastic measuring cup cost originally?

My favorite line?

Apparently Major Garrett wanted to make a damfool of himself in front of 50 million people, and he sure got his wish.

Watch President Obama bust Major Garrett to Private Garrett.

If that question was any more loaded, Garrett would need a designated driver.

And if a reporter had done that to George W Bush, the entire cast of Fox News would be screaming that he emboldened the enemy.

The question about hostages in Iran is a legitimate question.  The claim that President Obama is behaving in an unseemly manner is not.  Nor is the editorial comment of leaving people “to hang out to dry.”

You can take the boy out of Fox News but you cannot take Fox News out of the boy.

Guys, i have to go tend to Momma this afternoon so if any good stuff breaks about Jade Helm, post it here.

Meanwhile …

Oklahoma.  The mean is bubbling up from Texas.

The chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party had himself a dandy idea:  a solution to the problem of feeding the hungry. Feed them to bears instead.  Or something like that.

Tomorrow he promises to make fun of the disabled.

Friday is reserved for hungry children satire.

And when people said, “Holy cow, dude, what the hell are you saying?” his response was …

“Last night, there was a post on our OKGOP Facebook page, and it was misinterpreted by many,” state Republican Party Chairman Randy Brogdon said. “I offer my apologies for those who were offended — that was not my intention.”

Randy, Randy, Randy, would you please tell me what the correct interpretation would be?

It’s a shame because he looks like such a nice guy.

That is the best picture he could find of himself.  He issued it to the public.  I wonder if he looks less like a bear himself in a bad picture.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Pete Olsen, my personal congressman, is a dolt.  Seriously.  A complete dolt.  He’s Louie Gohmert crazy but just smart enough to know to keep his mouth shut.  He took Tom DeLay’s place and saw the folly of foolishness.

But that’s all the smart he is.  He’s not even one IQ point above shuddup.

But sometimes he forgets.

One of his little minions in my county goes around saying, “Democrats put up the confederate flag and Republicans took it down.”

I don’t even know where to start.

Thanks to Austin Hat Lady for the heads up.

Our Governor Greg Abbott decided it would serve Texas well if he took a close look at SB 359.  The bill was intended to help doctors with mentally ill patients.

Intended to provide a window of protection for doctors who sometimes find themselves choosing between illegally holding mentally ill patients and letting them leave with the real possibility they might be a danger to themselves or the community, the legislation would have allowed hospitals to retain patients for up to four hours, allowing law enforcement to arrive and evaluate the situation.

This is a high standard for a very few mentally ill patients but it does serve to protect society from people fixing to go off the edge.  It was supported by every mental health advocate group in Texas.  Except one.  Just one.

A May 22 email accompanying a letter of support from doctors asks an Abbott staffer to “please remember that the veto coalition is being led by the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, a front group for the Church of Scientology. … Their positions are well outside the mainstream.”

Yeah, the Church of Scientology, who does not believe in mental illness, won out over the medical and mental health community.

The Governor vetoed the bill, stunning the legislature who said that the Governor expressed no reservations about the bill while it was being considered.

First the Jade Helm Crazies and now the Church of Scientology.  The come to find out, the First Lady of Texas is all Let’s Do Lunch with the Scientologists.  In a letter to Abbott’s wife …

Spiller added a postscript: “I have not forgotten about your last message. Please consider yourself invited to our office, and any event we hold, any time.” He then asks to set up an “informal coffee … with a few close friends.”

Can’t we pass some legislation about Governors with mental health problems?

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
