If They’re Gonna Be Mean, It Helps When They Are Dumber Than Bean Dip

Maine Republican Governor Paul LePage, is one dumb mean sumbitch.

paul_lepage-225-CopyThere are more than a thousand immigrant asylum seekers and their families in Maine. LePage intensely opposes any state or municipal aid going to these people. He wants them sick, homeless and hungry even though they are fleeing violence or persecution because that’s just the kind of guy he is.

He is so against helping them that he used political pressure to influence the vote of his fellow Republicans.

The governor’s personal interest group, Maine People Before Politics, run by his daughter, even launched robocalls in Republican Senate districts during recent budget negotiations accusing a number of GOP senators of being soft on the issue.

He’s so mean that it ate up his brain and there is scientific proof.

It became clear on Tuesday night that LePage had failed to veto a number of bills within the time limit set by the Maine Constitution, including LD 369, the amended version of which allows those seeking asylum to receive General Assistance aid for a period of 24 months while their asylum claims are being processed and they are prohibited from working or receiving other aid. The bill had not passed the House by a two-thirds margin and a veto override attempt was unlikely to be successful.

Oh snap.  Oh chorus of Ode To Joy playing softly in the background while pink skirted ballerinas and cherubs with pockets full of confetti dance merrily in Maine.

Imagine getting to poke fun at Scrooge.  Dude, you’re an idiot and people get to eat tonight because of it.  Those are dandy words.

By the way, he botched the veto of 19 other bills he opposed.  This one was just my favorite.

Thanks to Ralph for the heads up.

 

Going From Empty to Cluttered

Mike Huckabee is a hoot.  That man has more wacko prancing around in his head than Big Bend has roadrunners.

I guess when you have a big cavernous brain, there’s plenty of room for ideas to bounce around on each other and come out the opposite direction on the other side.

The boys and girls at the Washington Post made a play-at-home version of “81 Things That Mike Huckabee Has Denounced.”  They have it all documented.

32.) Profanity, as a root cause of mass shootings in America. “Mass profanity has always been a harbinger of mass violence.” (1998, in Huckabee’s book “Kids Who Kill.'”)

33.) Abortion, as a root cause of mass shootings in America. “Desensitizing.” (1998, same book)

34.) Violence on TV, as a root cause of mass shootings in America. “The average American child watches 8,000 made-for-television murders.” (1998, same book).

36.) Lack of religion in schools, as a root cause of mass shootings in America. “Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage.” (2012)

37.) President Obama, for saying that U.S. gun laws were a root cause of this month’s mass shooting in Charleston, S.C. “It was disappointing to hear the president…immediately begin to say, ‘All right, this is a great opportunity for me to grandstand.” (2015)

My personal favorite?

46.) Men who go shirtless on the street, because it encourages women to go topless. “Put on a darn shirt!” (2015.)

Yeah because women would never have thought of that on their own.

Thanks to Tina for the heads up.

Republicans: Making It So

July 08, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

I think Republicans are planning to win this election on Photoshop.

Republican icon Dinesh D’Souza does not like Hillary Clinton. I’m sure the feeling is mutual since D’Souza is a convicted felon.

I have never understood why Republicans are so fond of felons, but they are. I mean, get convicted and you get a free teevee show!

D’Souza is also pretty damn nuts. He’s racist, pure and simple. So, this kinda made people wonder. He took to the twitter and … (click the little one to see the big one).

Of course it’s Photoshopped. There’s an original to prove it. However, thousand and thousands of people now think that Hillary Clinton is a racist at the University of Alabama.

Republicans – where you cannot believe your own eyes!

 

Can We Make It To Two Dozen By Labor Day?

Another Republican jumps in.

Screen Shot 2015-07-08 at 8.35.34 AMJim Gilmore, the former Virginia governor for one term and the guy who lost the 2008  Senate race to Democrat Mark Warner by 31 percentage points, has decided that the latest batch of Republican Presidential candidates simply are not scaring us enough.

The former governor said he is particularly concerned about “the emergency internationally,” citing not just the so-called Islamic State, but Russia’s ventures in Ukraine and China’s moves in the South China Sea.

Yeah, let us not forget that we should be hoarding bullets for the coming invasion.

And he says we need some more of those Bush economics.

He also said he believes President Barack Obama’s economic policies have undermined what should be a “foundation of strength” for the nation.

Yeah, and Obama was handed a such a robust economy.

Thanks to Jim for the heads up.

Whataburger

Whataburger (pronounced Wad-uh-burger in Texas) is the best dang fast-food in Texas.  One time when I was visiting Tennessee I met Loretta Lynn’s son-in-law.  That practically amounts to being a celebrity in the South. We got to chatting and he admitted that the thing he missed most about Texas was Whataburger.

imagesWhataburger condiments are so good that they started bottling and selling their regular ketchup, ranch dressing, and spicy ketchup on supermarket shelves.  Their french fries are stellar. It’s a damn Texas institution and they just one-upped everybody in town.

There will be no open carry in Whataburger restaurants. Their CEO says —

“We’ve had many customers and employees tell us they’re uncomfortable being around someone with a visible firearm who is not a member of law enforcement…we have a responsibility to make sure everyone who walks into our restaurants feels comfortable. For that reason, we don’t restrict licensed concealed carry but do ask customers not to open carry in our restaurants.”

Hell, yes.

If you are so insecure that you cannot possibly leave home without flashing a gun at everybody, just order to-go, sneak back into you bat cave, and leave the rest of us alone.

Thank you, Whataburger.

 

Play Along Snark

It’s one of our favorite times here at The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.  It is Let’s Look at Louie’s Money Time!

Here ya go in PDF format a real live actual genuine copy of Louie Gohmert’s donations and expenditures to the Federal Election Commission.

Your job is to find the most outrageous/funny/weird expenditure on Louie’s papers.  The expenditures start on page 31.

The very nicest thing about buying a car with your campaign funds is that includes new tires and gallons and gallons of gasoline.  It’s usual to refund your campaign for your or your family’s personal use of the campaign car.  That’s usual.  Louie’s not usual.

Pick your favorite – and somebody figure out how much this guy is pending on phones – and let us hear from you.

I get debs on making jokes about $442 at Trattoria Alberto in Glen Burnie, Maryland, on April 29, 2015.  That’s pretty cool since Trattoria Alberto in Glen Burnie, Maryland, closed  on December 31st.

Please feel free to scamper through his receipts, too, and see who’s buying Louie this month.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
