Louie! Barbeque!

January 18, 2016 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Y’all, Louie Gohmert loves him some barbeque.

gohmertTake a look right here to see how he’s spending some of  the money that the rightwing sends to him.

He buys gas from Dr. Ken Dance?  And what kind of car holds $111.01 in gas?

Somebody with a calculator please add up how much he spends on telephones.

My personal favorite?

Do not buy barbeque at Target.  Just don’t.

Or Sam’s Club …

Do Yourself a Favor

I was blessed to have a high school teacher at my all-white high school who assigned Dr. Martin Luther King’s Letter From a Birmingham Jail as a reading assignment.  It was written in 1963 in the margins of newspapers while King was jailed.

That letter awoke defiance in me and it remains strong in my soul.

You might want to read it today.  It is especially timely this year.  Click here.

And Playing the Role of a Presidential Candidate Eating His Own Words is Senator Ted Cruz

January 18, 2016 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Well, just when you thought that Ted Cruz’s family tree didn’t fork, you find out about branches growing which every way.

On Ted Cruz’s Canadian birth certificate, his mother is listed as Eleanor Darragh Wilson, using the last name of her first husband, Alan Wilson. The Fort Worth native and long-time resident of London, Wilson is now an unwitting player in the drama that surrounds Cruz’s family.

Wilson, who has never previously spoken about his past with the news media, told McClatchy in a telephone interview from London that he did not realize he was connected to the U.S. Texas senator, however indirect. He didn’t realize that his first wife, Eleanor, whose maiden name is Darragh, had such a well-known son, whose citizenship is at issue in the presidential campaign, or that “Wilson” is on the birth certificate.

I gotta say it.  I just gotta:  Hey, Ted, who’s your daddy?

More family secrets spill forth.  It turns out Ted’s mom wasn’t real clear about who she was married to when she had babies.

Now all these family matters don’t mean diddle squat to me, but they obviously matter greatly to Ted because he is real tight with the birthers and he would be the first to preach about having babies out of wedlock.

Too bad he didn’t sugar coat his words because eating them is gonna choke him.

Thanks to Fred for the heads up.

 

Debate Stuff

Okay, there’s a Democratic Debate tonight but Debbie Wasserman Schultz did everything she could to hide it.

Please feel free to comment during the debate.  Do NOT bash Hillary, Bernie, or Martin – they are all good people and we are damn lucky to have them.  You can say something nice about your candidate but please refrain from bashing any Democratic presidential candidate.

You may bash the Democratic National Committee all you want to.  I will even pile on.
