Remember last week when I told you about Rick Perry violating Texas election law by personally picking up his ballot by mail in Fayette County?
And remember how I told you that I reported it to the only proper authorities that I know – Glen Maxey?
Well, it appears that I know what the hell I’m doing, by gawd.
Ted Cruz is campaigning in New York, trying like the dickens to relate to Hispanics.
“You’re here in Hispanic territory, talking with Latino pastors. What is your message for our people? A majority feel that you are against us,” the reporter asked in Spanish.
“Our community, the Hispanic community,” Cruz said before switching to Spanish.
“I understand almost everything in Spanish, but I can’t speak as well as I would like,” he added, before switching to English again. “I have the problem of the second-generation immigrant. I learned Spanish the same time I learned English.”
Yeah, but he speaks the hell out of Canadian.
Okay, this is for women only.
Indiana women have set up a Facebook page to tell of their experiences in getting Governor Mike Pense to help them with their lady parts since he’s such an expert on them.
Here’s the bill that Pense signed:
It requires all miscarried or aborted fetal remains to be buried or cremated; and bans women from having an abortion during the legally-allowed timeframe if the reason is because the baby will be born with a serious disability such as Down Syndrome.
Fifty-five of the 60 final votes on the bill came from male legislators.
And the sponsor of the bill was Representative Casey Cox. Yeah, really.
Thanks to Cheryl for the heads up.
Now here’s a law that needs fixing.
In 2010, a West Virginia Coal mine exploded, killing 29 men.
Don Blankenship, the Massey Energy CEO, was convicted last December of misdemeanor conspiracy to willfully violate mine safety standards. During the trial, he escaped being convicted on any felony charges.
Yesterday, United States District Judge Irene Berger handed down the maximum sentence of one year in prison and a $250,000 fine. The judge added, “we are here as a result of your part in a dangerous conspiracy.”
Blankenship’s reaction?
Following his sentencing Wednesday, ex-Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship said that the 29 men who died in the 2010 explosion “were great guys, great coal miners.
But he added that, “It is important to everyone that you know that I’m not guilty of a crime.”
Yeah, that’s what is important.
His lawyers have him out on appeal.
According to Wikipedia …
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings show Blankenship was paid $17.8 million in 2009, the highest in the coal industry. His 2009 pay represents a $6.8 million raise over 2008 and almost double his compensation package in 2007. Blankenship also received a deferred compensation package valued at $27.2 million in 2009.
Blankenship is a major Republican Party contributor and an all-around jerk. They are already warming-up a special place in hell for him.
I put a picture of him up there so if you ever see him in person you can tell him to kiss your big blue butt.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
It’s no secret at voter ID is meant to discourage voting among the young, the elderly, the poor, and minorities.
But, it’s supposed to be a secret, so now that another Republican tells the truth, we might as well hang a GO AWAY sign at every polling location.
Wisconsin congressman Glenn Grothman let the cat out of the bag and gave it some damn catnip.
“You know that a lot of Republicans, since 1984 in the presidential races, have not been able to win in Wisconsin,” Benson said. “Why would it be any different for Ted Cruz, or a Donald Trump?”
After explaining he thought Hillary Clinton would be a weak nominee for the Democrats, Grothman said “now we have photo ID, and I think photo ID is gonna make a little bit of a difference as well.”
Little bit? Is that all you’re hoping for? Silly boy.
A group in Mississippi took it upon themselves to be very funny about the new law allowing discrimination against gays.
Little know fact: Jesus did curse figs.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
