Sometime something is so darn cute that you just have to share it.

A DesMoines, Iowa, cafe wanted to send a message to Senator Chuck Grassley so they redesigned their menu.

Here’s what they came up with.

It’s the #DoYourJob Menu

Well played, Iowa, well played.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

Donald Trump is talking about the Veep spot on the Republican ticket.

Answered prayers.

Yes. I like Marco Rubio. Yeah. I could,” he answered. As for a potential Rubio vice president: “There are people I have in mind in terms of vice president. I just haven’t told anybody names. … I do like Marco. I do like (John) Kasich. … I like (Scott) Walker actually in a lot of ways. I hit him very hard. … But I’ve always liked him. There are people I like, but I don’t think they like me because I have hit them hard.”

Oh, oh, oh.  Scott Walker, please Scott Walker.

And there’s more …

Trump described himself as an Ayn Rand fan. He said of her novel The Fountainhead, “It relates to business (and) beauty (and) life and inner emotions. That book relates to … everything.” He identified with Howard Roark, the novel’s idealistic protagonist who designs skyscrapers and rages against the establishment.

Yeah, that worked really well for Rand Paul.

He says “it relates to business and beauty and life and inner emotions.”  Like other books don’t.  Maybe if he’d read Grapes of Wrath … nah, Trump does not own a pair of empathy pants.

Set your alarm clock for May 2nd because Sarah Palin and Bill Nye the Science Guy are going to debate climate change.

No, I am not kidding.  I would not kid about something this wonderful.

Palin said, “I’m very passionate about this issue. We’ve been told by fear-mongers that global warming is due to man’s activities and this presents strong arguments against that in a very relatable way.”

I am certain that Bill Nye said, “Oh thank you sweet Jesus,” but that hasn’t been reported anywhere. Yet.

Verdelia said that she would even watch that on pay-per-view.  So, that got us to thinking: how much would you pay to see this debate?

Let’s start with a base payment of ten bucks.  Hell, you know you’d pay ten bucks just to see what outrageous 1980’s outfit that Palin shows up in.

If Palin is drunk again, that’s another ten bucks.  If Palin is drunk and Nye is high, you gotta go with $20.

If Nye agrees to tie 100 IQ points behind his back, it’s another ten to see him drool and still whip Palin.

If Nye walks across the stage and smacks Palin over the head with an Atlas, viewing rights go up at least $7.50, right?

If there’s sideline commentary by Neil deGrasse Tyson, they can have my retirement fund because I’d just die right there.

Thanks to Paul for the heads up.

Rock stars, conventions, and all manner of fun stuff have cancelled events in North Carolina because of North Carolina’s LGBT Laws.

Hi Straw, meet Camel’s back.

There’s a new kink in North Carolina’s LGBT controversy: A popular porn website is banning all computers from “The Tar Heel State.”

XHamster.com has been refusing to serve anyone from North Carolina since 12:30 p.m. EDT, Monday.

Instead, users with a North Carolina IP address are just seeing a black screen on their computer — no porn.

Okay, now don’t everybody rush over to Hamster.com because there’s more to this story.

The owner of the site explains his reasoning —

“Back in March, we had 400,000 hits for the term ‘Transsexual’ from North Carolina alone,” he said. “People from that state searched ‘Gay’ 319,907 times,” he added.

So what this means is that there’s one guy in North Carolina who spends all his time searching for gay and/or transexual themes or that there’s a fair amount of interest among those church going folks who spend Sunday afternoon in the basement with their computers.

Long time viewers know that I went to North Carolina in 2012 to fight against their anti-gay law.  I didn’t do much good but I did piss off a whole busload of church ladies in the Best Western Hotel free breakfast bar so it was not a wasted trip.

Thanks to Mel and Fred for the heads up.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton –

You can see it here.

I am up to my patootie in errands today but the story is online here.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.

Donald Trump says it’s not true that he never donates to charity.  He says he donated $102 million in the past five years and produced 93 pages of names, dates and amounts to prove it.

But, in that massive list, one thing was missing.

Not a single one of those donations was actually a personal gift of Trump’s own money.

They were donations from The Trump Foundation.  Donald Trump does not donate to the Trump Foundation.

“He’s using [the foundation] as a kind of checkbook, with other people’s money,” Leslie Lenkow­sky, a faculty member at Indiana University’s school of philanthropy, said after The Post described the recipients of the Trump Foundation’s gifts.

And not all the donations were to charities unless, of course, Serena Williams just became a charity.  And some guy named Brian.

And then there were the sneaky transactions.

In 2010, a man named Martin Greenberg was playing in a charity tournament at Trump’s course in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y. A $1 million prize was offered to anybody who got a hole in one.

Greenberg did. But then, hours later, he was called back. The rules said the hole-in-one shot had to go 150 yards. But, according to court documents, Trump’s course had made the hole too short.

And even with all this baggage, he’s still a better candidate than Ted Cruz.
