Texas Update

July 07, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

As most of you remember, the Texas Attorney General said that county clerks in Texas did not have to supply marriage licenses to icky gay people because Jesus.

That’s fine.  Jesus doesn’t sit on the Supreme Court but his Dad does in the form of Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

So, Glen Maxey and the Texas Democratic Party rounded up lawyers and told them to start filing suit in every county where gays were being rejected by their own damn government.

One of the sternest, crankiest and meanest county clerks is in Hood County by the name of Katie Lang.  Much has been said about her name, but my friend Rutger said it best: “In the current case, saying Katie Lang out loud exemplifies the always profound symbiosis between homophones and irony.”  That’s funny.

Now all these county clerks got themselves all worked up over their closely held religious beliefs.  Luckily, that was trumped by their closely held held going-to-court beliefs.  One by one, they are folding.

Including Katie Lang.

 

Isn’t that the cutest two cowboys you’ve ever seen?  They’ve been together 27 years.

Let’s hear it for love!

 

Every Which Way But Loose

Guys, the staff and proprietress of The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc., is jumping through loops today.  Good loops, but loops nonetheless.

Entertain yourself.  Talk amongst yourselves.  I’ll be back this afternoon.

Meanwhile, here’s a very fun game to play.

Thanks to Tina for the heads up.

 

Does It Get Any Better Than This?

Okay, so I know I’m kinda obsessing about this, but Donald Trump is the talk of my town.

The Tweet:

trump-tweet

 

This is wrong on so many levels that it might end up in textbooks.

Ya know, you don’t ever attack a man’s wife, but if you did, Donald Trump has certainly opened that invitation.

This Is Gonna Be Such Fun

This morning, Chris Christie said that Rand Paul should be blamed if this country has another fatal terror attack.

“And that’s why what Rand Paul has done to make this country weaker and more vulnerable is a terrible thing, and for him to raise money off of it is disgraceful,” Christie said, referring to Paul’s role in forcing the expiration of the Patriot Act in June. “It’s disgraceful.”

“We’re going to look back on this — listen this morning — and he should be in front of hearings in front of Congress if there’s another attack, not the director of the FBI or the director of the CIA,” he said.

Whoa Boy, that takes the heat off President Obama and Hillary Clinton, doesn’t it?

More important question for Christie: When did America become such a nation of sissies?

Thanks to Willie for the heads up.

Okay, remember back when we talked about The Crusaders PAC?  They sometimes spell it Cruzaders.

They rented a post office box in San Antonio, set up a PAC, and started raking in the dough.  But … all good scams must come to an end.  Here’s their latest FEC filing.  Here, I’ll get to the good part for you.

Yeah, $56.  Total.

They say they spent $20 of it.

They’re still posting on Facebook.  Hope springs eternal.

 

Is Donald Trump Turning Into Stephen Colbert?

July 06, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

So we around here are wondering if Donald Trump is trolling. It appears to us that Donald Trump is trying to divide the right and usher Hillary Clinton into the White House.

TrumpDoesn'tKnowThis immigration stuff is a dead give away. He’s got Ted Cruz “saluting” him and Rick Perry “offended” by him. They are taking sides and coming out shooting. The far right voters agree with Trump, so all the rest of the guys look disingenuous when they start talking about compassion. Republicans don’t believe in compassion.

Despite the new GOP criticism of Trump, former RNC Chair Michael Steele said on “Meet” yesterday that the damage has already been done, especially considering that it took weeks for Trump’s detractors in the GOP field to respond — and especially since the party itself hasn’t condemned Trump. “

So you gotta wonder if Democrats are paying Trump to slaughter the GOP. If so, well played, Democrats.

You’ll know I’m right if Trump’s next proposal is that we rent DeeCee to Joel Osteen and break into 51 separate countries.
