This weekend a reenactment became a realenactment at the, no kidding about this, O.K. Corral.

Yep, in Tombstone, Arizona, they reenact the gunfight with Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday taking on some scoundrels.  They claim to have been doing it since 1947 and that they have properly impressed the audiences they draw.

Then, oops.

A reenactment near the O.K. Corral got too real when a Tombstone Vigilantes actor shot himself in the upper thigh on Sunday afternoon, the Cochise County Sheriff’s office said in a statement.

Sure ‘nuf, a live round was is one of the actors’ guns and he shot himself in the hmmmmm … embarrassing.

Everyone claims that this has never happened before and they take all manner of precautions and checks to make sure this doesn’t ever happen but, personally, I think the Earp brother got themselves some revenge on overacting.

Thanks to Claudia for the heads up.

I will never forget that day … damn, I forgot already.

“No, the other one in the two thousands.”

God help us all.

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.

Okay, here’s the deal.

If you want to run for public office in Texas, you have to submit your paperwork between November 14 – December 14, for an election that’s a year away.  Don’t ask me why that is.  Hell, I don’t know what I want to do next month, much less a year from now.

Early voting for the primaries begins February 16th and election day is March 1st.

Runoffs for the primary election are on May 24th.

EXCEPT:  maybe not.

In Texas, we are waiting for a ruling from the courts on whether or not our gerrymandered to hell and back districts are legal.

Since the litigation began in September 2011, shortly after that year’s legislative session ended, opponents of the maps have alleged that Republican lawmakers failed to create minority opportunity districts.

It was a violation of the Voting Rights Act because non-whites — particularly Hispanics — accounted for nearly 90 percent of the population growth of the past decade that allowed Texas to gain four congressional districts, they allege.

Since people can’t sign up to run for an office in a district with the boundaries being litigated, this is gonna be a damn certified goat rodeo.

If we don’t get a decision by November 14th, I am going to be one cranky woman.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.

Aladamnbama, I love you.

So, a Walmart in Florence, Alabama has a small marketing problem.

An Alabama man found more than he bargained for while shopping at his local Walmart gun counter recently, and a video showing what he came across is going viral on Facebook.

He picks up a product called “Gun Oil” in the gun section of Walmart.

Gun oil is “a personal lubricant that’s known for its targeted marketing to the gay community.”

See?  I told you.  A gun is just an extension of a guy’s winkie.

Thanks to Glen Maxey (who the hell else would send this to me?) for the heads up.

From the MSNBC website —

What Ben Carson doing?

Well, obviously, he’s showing you the size of a fish he caught.

Hint: If Ben doesn’t know what he’s doing, an he doesn’t, then body else does either.

Better question:  what the hell is MSNBC doing?

What happens when you combine Louie Gohmert and Ted Cruz? A four legged, half brained, tiny winkie that tests the limits of sanity.

Ted and Louie want a bust of Margaret Sanger removed from the National Portrait Gallery because they just learned that bust does not always mean ta-tas.

“There is no ambiguity in what Margaret Sanger’s bust represents: hatred, racism, and the destruction of unborn life,” Cruz said. “Not only should we continue efforts to redirect funds from Planned Parenthood, an organization founded by Sanger that is currently under criminal investigation, we must also work to ensure that her inhumane life’s work is in no way promoted.”

Seriously, guys? That’s the only constructive thing you have to do today? Somebody get them a rake or a boom or something so their time can be better spent.

Thanks to Alacrity Fitzhugh for the heads up.
