Defense lawyers looked into the case of Tim Foster, an African-American, is on death row in Georgia for the 1987 murder of an elderly white woman.  Foster was convicted by an all-white jury.  Recently, they found notes made by the prosecutors proving that black people were stuck from the jury for being black.

That’s illegal.

The Supremes heard the case and agreed 7 – 1 that Foster was denied his constitutional rights because a jury of his peers was made impossible by the prosecutors’ illegal actions.

The one dissenting vote?  Clarence Damn Thomas.

I shall be solely disappointed if Thurgood Marshall doesn’t beat the crap outta that guy when he gets to great beyond.

Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.

You know how Republicans are all up in arms about transgender bathrooms?  You know how they say that they don’t want their children to use the same bathroom as transgender people?

Screw that.  I do not want children using the same bathroom as Republicans.

The former chairman of the Cobb County Republican Party was arrested Friday morning and charged with child molestation, according to police.

Joseph Russell Dendy, 71, was arrested at his West Cobb home and charged with aggravated child molestation and child molestation, both felonies.

This disgusting  slug left a trail of slime across the country.

Later Friday, an additional charge was added: fugitive. Dendy is also wanted by the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office in Michigan, as well as the Laurens Police Department in South Carolina on additional sexual abuse allegations, Sgt. Dana Pierce with Cobb police said late Friday.

These people are sick, y’all.  That’s how they come up with all this crazy stuff they claim everyone else is doing.  It’s because they are doing it.

Thanks to Elizabeth for the heads up.

In writing their state platform, truly a work of mental derangement, Texas Republicans got all carried away hating on homosexuals.  To see it for yourself, click here and go to #85.

So, what this says is that the majority of Texans are homosexuals.

I don’t think that’s what they meant.  But, you know, I could be wrong.

Thanks to Paul for the heads up.

Okay, I’m just going to quote it because you won’t believe me if I tell you.

Where do candidates for the Kansas Legislature stand on human-animal hybrids?

That’s something that Kansans For Life, the state’s leading anti-abortion group, wants to know.

A questionnaire that KFL’s political action committee sent out to legislative candidates this month asks candidates whether they oppose human cloning and the creation of human-animal hybrids …

And what is your stance on zombies?  Loch Ness monster?  How about that thing where you put your hand in the blender and then turn it on?  Do you favor that or not?

Because you never know what the liberals are going to do next.

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.

So, it turns out that George P. Bush, son of a Bush and newly elected Texas Land Commissioner, has been trained well in the ways of the Bush.

The Houston Chronicle broke the story this morning.

Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush has spent nearly $1 million in taxpayer money to entice dozens of people fired by his administration to agree not to sue him or the agency, a practice that may run afoul of a ban on severance pay for state workers.

He kept people on the payroll for up to five months after they were fired in exchange for firing them without cause.  They were from the previous Land Commissioner’s term, a fellow Republican.

Such separation arrangements are made frequently in the corporate world but are not allowed in Texas government, where there is no severance and staffers generally are required to work to be paid, according to employment lawyers, union leaders and former state officials.

Well, Honey, add this to Attorney General Ken Paxton granting “emergency leave” paid packages to about half his office, and the Tea Party Republicans have a hard time claiming that they like small government when half the damn state is drawing a salary sitting at home.

If this ain’t welfare, I don’t know what is.

Thanks to Bubba for the heads up.

There’s a city in Virginia that allows people to shoot “varmints.” within the city limits.

I would not want to live there.  And here’s why.

I man thought he saw a rabid raccoon so he shot it.  Except it wasn’t a raccoon.  It was his neighbor, why may have been foaming at the mouth and plenty hairy, I dunno, but I suspect that at the very least, she was larger than a raccoon.

The neighbor was held overnight for observation at the local hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries. She reportedly went outside to check on her children when she heard gun shots and was struck by one of the bullets.

He was charged with a class 6 felony and is due to be sentenced in September.

A class 6 felony is the lowest ranking felony offense potentially punishable by imprisonment of one to five years and a possible maximum fine of $2,500, according to the Code of Virginia.

Bet he won’t be shooting any raccoons for a while.
