Wait Just a Damn Minute

January 05, 2016 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Okay, so like it’s not bad enough that those tough-guys think they are all dangerous and fearsome revolutionary leaders then they take over a damn unguarded and empty bird sanctuary.

What do they want? Snacks!  When do they want it?  Now!

I am not making this up.

They say that they have been planning this for months, and bragged that they were ready to stay “for years”.  It’s Day Two and they are already out of snacks.

Here’s how this went down:

Guns – check

Ammo – check

Flags – check

Cheetos – dammit, I knew we forgot something.

They want you to mail them snacks. This means that the same guys who want to overthrow the federal government have complete faith that the federal government can deliver their mail.

And socks.  They want socks.  So far it’s hard to tell if they’ll give in over lack of Oreos or become overwhelmed by the odor of stinky socks.

These guys are my new hobby.

Get a Map!

January 04, 2016 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Donald Trump can’t read a map but it appears he’s dead set in stopping people from walking.

Republican presidential Donald Trump‘s newest ad purports to show thousands of illegal immigrants streaming across the Mexican border. But evidence has emerged proving the event in the ad actually took place an entire ocean away.

Fact-checking website Politifact wasted no time in examining the first television ad from their 2015 Lie of the Year winner. They found that video can be traced back to footage obtained by Italian channel RepubblicaTV, and depicted thousands of Morrocans trying to enter the Spanish enclave of Melilla in 2014.

Nope, we’re not kidding.

Politifact named it Lie of the Year.  I guess they didn’t have Lie of the Damn Century.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

Mitt Romney, y’all.  In an interview with the Washington Post, Mitt said …

“I had one person who was running for president, and I won’t give you the name… called me and said, ‘I hope you don’t close the door. We may need you.’ That’s a person running for president. A candidate. A Republican.”

Mitt, don’t pay any attention to what Rick Perry says.  He’s mostly drunk or totally lost.

Here’s The Deal

This morning, I’m going to be at the inauguration of Sylvester Turner as Mayor of Houston – continuing in a long tradition of Democratic mayors in Houston.

I probably won’t be finished partying until the afternoon, so I’m leaving this here in case you guys want to discuss something.  Becky has promised to approve comments at least once an hour.

See ya later.

Poor Greg Abbott

January 03, 2016 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

You know that sound of a hungry child banging his spoon on the high chair tray?  That’s Greg Abbott, and like the child, he has himself so worked-up that he doesn’t know what he wants.

220px-Abbott_(cropped)After the horrifying tornados in Texas, Abbott went hat in hand to the man be believes wants to invade Texas. Abbott begged President Obama for money to help Texas. That’s the same Abbott who won’t take money for health care for Texans, causing more people to die weekly than died in the tornados.

The minute Obama handed Abbott the emergency money, Abbott bit his hand.

Abbott said, “Bring it on!” to the man who commands the largest military on the face of the earth.

Following the President address about gun control, Abbott tweeted this —

Damn, Governor, what ya gonna do?  Pee in his swimming pool? Check out tacky romance novels from the library in his name? Declare Sarah Palin president?  Cry and bang your spoon in his ear?

Governor, I hate to be the one to tell you, but Darlin’, you’re outgunned, outsmarted, and outclassed.  All the truly gun nuts are holed up in Utah, so Obama has you just where he wants you.  Your Texas Guard won’t get passed Lackland Air Force Base, even if they could find the keys to the armory.

Do you forget that this is the dude who found and killed Osama bin Laden?

Shuddup, Governor.
